2025 is set to be one of the busiest 12-month periods in Marvel Studios history – and if trailers for two of its new films are anything to go by, the comic book giant could be in for another banner year.

Shortly after announcing a packed slate of Disney Plus TV shows for 2025 in late October, Marvel revealed new looks at two of the three films coming next year at the D23 Brasil Expo presentation last Saturday (November 9). . The films in question? Captain America: Brave New World And Lightningwhich hits theaters on February 14th and May 2nd respectively.

With Sam Wilson’s first big screen appearance starring as Captain America, it’s no surprise to learn that the latest footage from this Marvel Phase 5 film comes in the form of an official trailer. It’s one of the more creative and original teasers the Disney subsidiary has put together in a long time, with contradictory film clips showcasing the largely duplicitous cast of characters (Wilson notwithstanding), reinforcing the atmosphere of a political thriller. Cap 4The latest teaser comes four months later Brave new worldThe first trailer offered a first look at Harrison Ford’s Red Hulk, who appears in all his glory in this new round of films.

What Lightningthe second of three Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) films received a long teaser in a special look. The three-minute video begins with an extended clip from the film, showing Bucky Barnes seemingly saving Yelena Belova, Red Guardian, US Agent and Ghost from some unidentified villains, only for Bucky to turn the tables on those who were rescued.

The teaser, which comes out less than two months later LightningThe first trailer revealed an official look at Lewis Pullman’s Bob and Yelena Belova’s anti-hero squad, and then evolves into a more traditional trailer with quick-cut footage showing the morally complex characters working together as they trade jokes and sarcastic remarks. The video also confirms who now owns Avengers Tower: Valentina Allegra De Fontaine bought the New York landmark after Tony Stark’s death Avengers: Endgame.

End with a climax?

Anyone who has visited this area will be aware of this since MCU Phase 5 began Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania In February 2023, my faith in Marvel has waned.

Yes, there were the usual successes for the comic book titan. In 2024 alone, Marvel has given us one of the best Disney Plus shows of all time X Men 97. This animated series has also recently been joined by highly rated TV channels WandaVision Spin off Agatha all the timewhose popularity increased week by week. Add in the box office hit that it was Deadpool and Wolverinean MCU film that I really enjoyed, even if some people didn’t like it, and in 2024 Marvel has succeeded in its attempts to correct course after a terrible – by any high standard – 2023.

In fact, Guardians of the Galaxy 3 And Loki Season 2 regardless, small and large screen types in the form of Secret invasion And The miracles continued to showcase Marvel’s inconsistent creative approach to its cinematic juggernaut since 2019 Avengers: Endgame. Yes, great films and series also followed Avengers 4 between July 2019 and January 2023 – inclusive WandaVision, Spider-Man: No Way HomeAnd Shang Chi to name just three.

However, for every good project there was a bad and/or divisive one, such as Thor: Love and Thunder and – although I liked it – She Hulk: Lawyer. Add to that the 2023 Hollywood strikes and other issues that have plagued the studio, and Marvel has not only been battling fires for years, but has also suffered numerous setbacks to its previously untouchable reputation.

Related to Cap 4 And LightningHowever, given the new teasers, it seems like the MCU’s latest phase will end with a bang rather than a whimper. And even if it starts off on a low note, it won’t be the death knell for highly anticipated films like the MCU The Fantastic Four: Getting Started and two more avenger Films and exciting Disney Plus shows included Daredevil: Rebornalso on the go. Still, Marvel can’t afford to keep producing critical and commercial duds, so here’s hoping 2025 doesn’t start off as badly as 2023.
