MCUfans are getting treated to first looks at Marvel Studios' upcoming projects at New York Comic-Con, and leaks have already sprung out of the major convention. A brand-new Marvel logo was unveiled to attendees this week, revealing images fromCaptain America: Brave New WorldandThe Fantastic Four: First Stepsthat includeRed Hulk (Harrison Ford) and the superhero team’s robotic sidekick, respectively.
While attending New York Comic-Con,The Direct(viaDiscussing Film) published a first look at Marvel Studios' new logo that features their upcoming slate of movies, TV shows, and games. Front and center is Harrison Ford’s Red Hulk, who makes his highly-anticipated debut inCaptain America: Brave New World. It’s the clearest look at the anti-hero yet, and a striking resemblance to theIndiana Jonesactor. Meanwhile,the logo also includes the first official look at H.E.R.B.I.E., a robot that will serve as the sidekick to Marvel’s first family inThe Fantastic Four: First Steps. The reveal comes soon after fans got a chance to see Joseph Quinn’s Human Torch in action inleaked set photos.
It’s unclear if Marvel will release anything else officially,but it’s safe to say the new logo is not the only thing the studio has up their sleeve for New York Comic-Con. Previously, Kevin Feige had shown fans a teaser forThe Fantastic FourandDaredevil: Born Againat San Diego Comic-Con. Both trailers could be officially released to the public later this week, although an officialFantastic Fourtease seems unlikely as the film is still in production. Still, expect revamped MCU slatesooner rather than later.
The Re-Tooled Future of Marvel Studios
The future of the MCU looks quite different from what it had last time Feige and co. announced the Multiverse Saga. Instead of releasing three films per year, as well as several shows on Disney+,Marvel Studios slowed down their output in 2024, only releasing the R-rated box office hitDeadpool & Wolverinein theaters. Of course, things will get ramped up a lot in 2025, but the measured approach from Marvel as of late is not a mistake. Next, fans can expect to meet the new Captain America on the big screen withBrave New World, whileThe Fantastic Four: First Stepsfinally makes it way back into relevancy with its MCU debut. Marvel’s response to DC’sSuicide Squad,Thunderbolts*, recently gota hard-hitting trailerteasing the movie’s arrival next summer.
