Crowded Best Actress Race Makes Space for 'Till' and 'She Said' The 100 Best Movies of the '90s Kang, or as THR notes, a “version of him,” will be re-introduced in “Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania,” out February 17, 2023. “Quantumania” officially launches Kevin Feige’s Phase 5 for the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Phase 4 will be completed with “Black Panther: Wakanda Forever,” which released its first trailer at Comic Con. Additional MCU directors for Phase 5 include Bassam Tariq helming “Blade,” debuting November 3, 2023; Julius Onah directing “Captain America: New World Order” with Anthony Mackie as Captain America, set for a May 3, 2024 release; and Jake Schreier directing “Thunderbolts,” which will close out Phase 5 with a release date of July 26, 2024. Despite longtime Marvel collaborators Joe and Anthony Russo teasing their interest in helming “Secret Wars,” the duo have not been publicly linked to the project. Meanwhile, “Kang Dynasty” director Cretton’s resume includes “Short Term 12” and “Just Mercy,” with upcoming TV series “American Born Chinese” starring Michelle Yeoh and Stephanie Hsu for an “Everything Everywhere All at Once” mini cast reunion. Cretton was previously linked to series “Scenes for Minors” alongside “Black Panther” director Ryan Coogler based on Cretton's experience working in residential foster care and Coogler's East Bay area upbringing and time working in a juvenile detention facility. Chinaka Hodge penned the screenply using her experience teaching underserved youth in Bay Area continuation schools as an inspiration. Reporting by Christian Blauvelt.
