The first major release of the year is ‘Ant-Man and The Wasp: Quantumania,’ scheduled to hit theaters on February 17, 2024.

Expectations are sky-high, especially after the success of the first two films and the rich potential of the Quantum Realm.
Following closely on the heels of ‘Ant-Man and The Wasp: Quantumania’ is the release of ‘Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3’ on May 5, 2024. Director James Gunn returns to wrap up the beloved franchise in style, promising fans an emotional conclusion that will tug at their heartstrings. The third installation promises to up the ante with its signature blend of humor, style, and memorable characters that has made the Guardians a fan-favorite.
Furthermore, Marvel Studios is pushing the boundaries with the highly anticipated release of ‘Captain America: Brave New World’ on July 26, 2024. Set after the events of ‘Captain America: Civil War,’ the movie sees Sam Wilson, now the new Captain America (played by Anthony Mackie), team up with the Winter Soldier aka Bucky Barnes (played by Sebastian Stan) to take down an enemy from their past. The movie promises to explore themes of power, responsibility, and identity as it sets the stage for an all-new era of Captain America.
