00:00Hello friends.

00:01Holy .

00:03Marvel Studios dropped Mjolnir, there I said it right that time, hard on San Diego Comic

00:07Con, laying out his plans for Phase 4 of the MCU and revealing some truly jaw-dropping

00:11castings.

00:12This week on Heat Vision Breakdown we digest all the craziness from Marvel's SDCC panel

00:16and look at what the introduction of the mighty Thor, horror in Doctor Strange 2, and oh yeah,

00:21Mahershala Ali as frickin' Blade means for the future of the MCU.

00:28The first film of Marvel's Phase 4 is Black Widow, a long-promised standalone for Scarlett

00:32Johansson's titular assassin.

00:34ScarJo told me, personally, that's right Aaron, I get answers.

00:37Oh, good for you.

00:38Yeah.

00:39The only reason to make this film was if we could elevate the genre in some way.

00:43What does that mean exactly?

00:44Well, expect not only a lot of action, the stars have been going through some serious combat

00:48training, but also a script with a lot of intrigue.

00:50Johansson mentioned on the press line that there were seven pages of dialogue in the schedule

00:54for that week of filming, noting it's a lot more talking than other Marvel films.

00:58Black Widow, like this year's Captain Marvel, is a prequel, but that doesn't necessarily

01:01mean it can't also introduce plot points that will have ramifications for the rest

01:05of the MCU.

01:06However, expect 2020's other film release to blow things even wider open, The Eternals.

01:11Kevin Feige described the new film as being full-on Jack Kirby, and star Angelina Jolie said

01:15she will work ten times as hard on this project than on a normal one, because of its responsibilities.

01:19Does that mean she was half-assing it as Maleficent?

01:21What an awkward situation.

01:24Little is known about this cosmic adventure, but I'm wondering if this could tie in to

01:27the not-yet-dated Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 somehow, perhaps by introducing Adam

01:32Warlock.

01:33Both films center on Marvel's cosmic side, so there is a good chance of some crossover

01:36happening.

01:37Fall 2020 will also see Marvel's debut on the small screen.

01:39I mean, besides all those Netflix shows and Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., but apparently even

01:43Feige doesn't care about those.

01:44The Falcon and the Winter Soldier will be the first series to debut on the new Disney Plus streaming

01:48service and will be a major turning point for the MCU.

01:51This is an opportunity for the studio to truly explore trans-media storytelling, with movie

01:55stars hopping between the big screen and the small.

01:58Anthony Mackie walked out onto Hall H carrying Captain America's shield, a tease to how

02:01this connects to the end of Avengers Endgame, which saw him pick up Cap's mantle.

02:05Coming out three years after Black Panther made February a viable month for the MCU,

02:09Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings will hit February 12th, 2021.

02:14In addition to the casting of Chinese-Canadian actor Simu Liu as the titular character,

02:18and Awkwafina in an undisclosed role, the big surprise came when it was finally revealed

02:22that the real Mandarin will show up in this film.

02:24You may remember a fake version of the character from Iron Man 3, in which Ben Kingsley played

02:28a drunk, struggling actor pretending to be the supervillain.

02:31If you don't remember that, I envy you, because it was dumb and I spent way too much time thinking

02:35about it.

02:36Oh, it was so good!

02:37Really?

02:38Yeah.

02:39Soon after Shang-Chi, Disney Plus, we'll have WandaVision, which sounds like a knockout

02:43brand of television sets, but is actually a streaming series set to debut in Spring 2021.

02:47We actually don't know that much about this one, though.

02:49Well, actually we do, because Elizabeth Olsen told me that Kevin Feige pitched it to her

02:53himself.

02:54Now you want to know what it's about?

02:55Kinda, yeah.

02:56Well, she wouldn't tell me, but sources said it's based off of the classic comic book

03:00storyline House of M. That's when Scarlet Witch reshaped reality after a tragedy.

03:04In this case, the death of Vision.

03:06See?

03:07I do get information.

03:08Nobody likes to show off, Aaron.

03:09Get out of here.

03:10Moving on, Loki will also come out in Spring 2021 on Disney Plus.

03:15Feige confirmed at Comic-Con that the show will center on the 2012 version of the Trickster

03:19God who stole the Tesseract in Endgame.

03:21What's he been up to?

03:22Probably tooling around space and getting into shenanigans.

03:25Likely even running into familiar heroes, maybe even the Guardians.

03:28The bigger question is this.

03:30Will Tom Hiddleston ever retire from this role, which forces him to sport the world's worst

03:33haircut?

03:34Okay, enough streaming shows for now.

03:35The next big screen adventure will be Doctor Strange and the Multiverse of Madness on May

03:407th, 2021.

03:42This will be the first ever major test of Marvel's Disney Plus strategy as WandaVision will lead

03:46into Doctor Strange 2 and Elizabeth Olsen will also appear in the film.

03:50Perhaps her reality distorting activities in WandaVision will finally cause a rift in

03:54the multiverse that Jake Gyllenhaal had promised and not delivered on in Far From Home.

03:59What a jerk.

04:00Back on Disney Plus, the animated What If hits Summer 2021.

04:04It is based on the classic comic book series that told alternate reality stories.

04:08A few months later, Jeremy Renner's Hot Guy hits in Fall 2021.

04:11Maybe he'll blame all the murders he committed to Endgame on the fact that his family puts

04:14mayonnaise on hot dogs.

04:15Pivoting to characters people actually care about, in a pretty big deal, Thor Love and

04:19Thunder hits November 5th, 2021.

04:22Not only will Thor be the only original Avenger to continue on with his solo movies, but Natalie

04:26Portman is returning to the series in a new capacity.

04:29The Mighty Thor.

04:30This was a huge surprise, as Kevin Feige told me the deal was made in secret six months ago

04:35and dates back to when Taika Waititi was directing Thor Ragnarok and discovered the comics of

04:39writer Jason Aaron, in which Jane Foster becomes Thor.

04:43Also, Tessa Thompson teased that Valkyrie will be revealed to be Marvel's first LGBTQ superhero

04:48who is searching for her queen now that she's the official ruler of Asgard.

04:52And that's it.

04:53Oh wait, no, there's one more thing.

04:55Blade!

04:57This was one of the biggest mic-drop moments in Hall H history.

05:00After Kevin Feige had already trotted out numerous A-list stars and announced an impressive

05:03slate, he invited two-time Oscar winner Mahershala Ali to the stage.

05:08While fans had been given Black Widow hats, Feige asked Ali if he was going to put on a

05:11hat.

05:12Ali did.

05:13And the hat said Blade.

05:14And the crowd went nuts.

05:16Pretty sure some people fainted.

05:17We don't really know that much about this project, but it's probably safe to assume

05:20it will be a new film version of the legendary Vampire Slayer, given the pedigree of Ali

05:24and the title role.

05:25Since it's been revealed that Doctor Strange 2 will take the MCU into the horror genre,

05:29it's also a safe assumption to think that Blade will continue that trend.

05:32But does that mean it may also be the MCU's first R-rated outing?

05:35Look, we want blood, and we want lots of it.

05:38Make it happen, Feige.

05:39So what are you most looking forward to in Marvel's Phase 4?

05:42Let us know in the comments right down there.

05:47I wonder if Chris Hemsworth will still be fed.
