Marvel Studios has released an official teaser celebrating its 85th anniversary, packed with first glimpses of its upcoming blockbuster projects, including Thunderbolts, Daredevil: Born Again, and Ironheart. The trailer, marking a monumental milestone for the iconic franchise, provides fans with highly anticipated visuals and plot hints for these titles slated for release in 2025.

The Thunderbolts movie, which is among the most anticipated, showcases Florence Pugh’s Yelena Belova, Sebastian Stan’s Bucky Barnes, and an ensemble of anti-heroes riding an elevator in what promises to be a thrilling team-up. Fans can also catch a quick look at Harrison Ford’s transformation into the Red Hulk, a significant moment in the upcoming Captain America: Brave New World.

In addition to Thunderbolts, the teaser offers a brief glimpse of Charlie Cox reprising his role as Matt Murdock in Daredevil: Born Again. The footage reveals him donning the classic red suit, setting the stage for his return in a Disney+ series that promises to dive deeper into the character’s narrative within the MCU.

Punisher, Foggy, and Karen are all set to return to the series along with Kingpin, Bullseye, and more from the Netflix Daredevil series. Daredevil: Born Again is set to release in March 2025.

Another highlight is Dominique Thorne’s Ironheart, where the trailer gives us a clearer view of Riri Williams in her enhanced mech suit, as she continues the legacy of Tony Stark while forging her path as a young superhero.

In the final shot of the trailer, we get Thunderbolt Ross turning into Red Hulk. The fourth installment of the Captain America series is slated to hit theaters on February 14, 2025. Anthony Mackie takes the lead as Sam Wilson, stepping into the role of Captain America as he faces a global crisis involving brainwashed Super Soldiers.

Harrison Ford joins the cast, taking over from the late William Hurt as President Thaddeus “Thunderbolt” Ross. Ford’s character is set to undergo a dramatic transformation into the Red Hulk, fulfilling a major comic book storyline. Additionally, Giancarlo Esposito will portray Sidewinder, the leader of the notorious Serpent Society, while Tim Blake Nelson returns as Samuel Sterns, reprising his role from The Incredible Hulk.
