If you're a Marvel fan, get pumped!!
Another year means more Marvel content. Last year Marvel gave the fans many stories and introduced a lot more diverse voices. This year those stories will continue, or maybe end. Here's the Marvel calendar for the 2023 season:
Ant-Man and The Wasp
Movie
Release Date: February 17th, 2023
Up first is the third film in the Ant-Man franchise.

Paul Rudd is set to return as Ant-Man in this trilogy capper. The other restoring cast members are Evangeline Lilly (Hope Van Dyke), Michael Douglas (Hank Pym), and Michelle Pfeiffer (Janet Van Dyke). Due to a recasting, Kathryn Newton will star as Scott Lang's daughter Cassie Lang. This film is said to play a very prominent role in the MCU in the future. They are introducing the villain of Kang the Conqueror who Jonathan Majors play. This film follows the Ant Mna crew as they are sucked into the Quantum Realm. It seems like this is the same Quantum Realm that was introduced in the first season of Loki (2021). Could this mean that there could possibly be a Loki cameo? The events are this movie will lead to The Avengers: The Kang Dynasty.
Guardians of The Galaxy Vol. 3
Movie
Release Date: May 5th, 2023
Once again, there will be an end to a Marvel trilogy this year. Nearly six years since the second film and features the same cast. Some new additions to the cast are Chukwudi Iwuji (High Revolutionary) and Will Poulter (Adam).

From first looks, it seems like film is going to have high emotions. There aren't many details except for the fact that Rocket's origins will be explored. Adam will finally be introduced after years of teasing. There seems to also be a hint that a major character might die, who is it? I guess Marvel fans will have to wait and see.
Secret Invasions
TV Series
Release Date: Spring 2023
The only thing fans know about this TV series is that Samuel Kckie and Cobie Smulders are set to return as Nicky Fury and Maria Hill, respectively. The shapeshifting Skrulls aliens will become more relevant as they have infiltrated Earth. Hopefully, a set-in-stone release date will be announced soon.
What If.... (Season 2)
TV Series
Release Date: Early 2023
While there isn't much detail about this animated series, there should still be some excitement. The What If... concept [t seems to tread over into the films. There were some concepts and details in Doctor Stange: Multiverse of Madness (2022). Be on the lookout for details and a trailer for this Emmy-Nominated animated series.
Spider-Man: Across the Spiderverse
Movie
Release Date: June 2nd, 2023

The overdue sequel is finally coming back! Same cast, the same animation, and even more fun. Oscar Issac, Daniel Kaluuya, and Issa Rae are being added to the Spidey voice cast. The film will revolve around Miles Morales and the multiverse. Miles is once again teaming up with Gwen Stacy and Peter B. Parker to save the world. The sequel will take place mostly in Gwen Stacy's universe. Who knows, with all the Spiderman being introduced maybe the audience will hear some familiar voices?
Echo
TV Series

The series is about the antagonist in Hawkeye, Echo. Maya Lopez is returning and will follow her character as she returns to her hometown of Oklahoma.

The film will be about the connection of Carol, Kamala, and Monica as they master their powers. That means that there could be a Carol and Monic reunion!
