My Top 5 most anticipated mcu projects of 2023

Happy New Year, everyone! I hope your holiday season was filled with lots of joy, hot cocoa and relax time. I know for me, I had taken a much needed week off of content creation to recuperate and prepare for the coming year. I am so glad I did! I feel so much less burntout and have a new jolt of creativity for the start of the week. Let this be a reminder that no matter what you do for work, it’s important to take breaks and time for yourself to avoid hitting a wall!

With 2023 now upon us, I’m so excited that we have a full year line up of Marvel projects on the horizon. And with that, for today's blog I wanted to list off my top five most anticipated MCU projects of the year. Let’s do this!

5. Echo

As all of you may know by now, Hawkeye is #1 on my list of favorite Marvel shows. I loved all of the characters and the storyline, everything! So when they announced that Maya was gong to have her own show, I was so excited! Maya is such an intricate and interesting character, and I'm so happy we get to learn more about her. Plus, I'm curious if this will end up tying into Daredevil: Born Again! I'm most certain it will, since we know now that Maya had such a complicated relationship with Kinpin.

4. Iron Heart

Gonna be completely honest with you guys. I don't know much about Iron Heart's character besides what we've seen in Black Panther: Wakanda Forever and the little bit I've heard about her from MCU TikTok comic book rundowns, but I knew instantly upon learning a little bit more about her how much I would love her character! She is so fun, and I absolutely adored her first MCU appearance. I am so glad she is getting her own show and we are going to be able to learn more about her! Plus hopefully this leads to some fun connections in the future. Armor Wars? Perhaps a Ned and MJ cameo at MIT? I can't wait to see what's about to go down in this show.

3. Guardians of the Galaxy: Volume 3

After that most recent trailer we got, I am SO stoked for this movie! The Guardians never fail to make me laugh and I'm so excited for more of their humor and shenanigans. I am a little bummed it's going to be our last time with this group though. I have some worries that they are going to kill off Drax and Rocket :( but until then, at least we know we have one more time with them upcoming <3 (plus any chance to see Groot again is good enough for me!).

2. The Marvels

I think we can all agree that we can relate to Kamala Khan's love of Super Heroes, yeah? I adored the Ms. Marvel show and Kamala's entrance into the MCU and I'm super stoked to get more of her in The Marvels! Plus I'm curious to learn more about Carol and Monica as well. With Carol, I feel like even though we've gotten a lot of movies with her, there still hasn't been a lot told about her besides Captain Marvel with her backstory. And with Monica, I'm so curious to learn how she's been handling her new power set! After all the mess she was dealing with in WandaVision, it must be so chaotic for her. I'm sure her and Carol will definitely have some bonding moments over that. Plus, I can't wait to see Kamala FREAK when she gets to meet Carol! And I heard a rumor somewhere that there's going to be a musical number in this one? I'm so curious about it, hahaha!

1. Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania

Okay, this is number one on my list for a handful of reasons. Number one, Scott Lang is a HUGE comfort character of mine, and I'm really really excited to see him again! I've missed him so much since Endgame! Number two, I'm very big into taking things as they come, and with this being the next slotted MCU project with a confirmed release date, I am shaking in my boots thinking about how this will open the next phase of the MCU for us. And number three, the plot of this movie just looks SO good. Kang, seeing the Quantum Realm, learning more about Cassie and Scott's relationship after the blip, everything. I have been looking forward to this since they first dropped the news that it was going to even be a movie at all. I haven't been this excited for an MCU project since No Way Home! Definitely my most anticipated of the year.

Honorable Mention: Agatha: Coven of Chaos

I had to add Agatha: Coven of Chaos to my list as an honorable mention here because I truly am so excited for this show! I think in terms of upcoming MCU Disney+ shows, this is up there on the list for me. However, because it still doesn't have an official release yet, I didn't add it to my official line up (since we're still not sure if it'll be out this year or next!). I love Kathryn Hahn as Agatha so much, Marvel certainly got her perfectly casted, and the cast line up sounds AMAZING (Aubrey Plaza in the MCU? Sign me up!). Plus maybe this means we get our girl Wanda back soon...👀

​What are some of your most anticipated Marvel projects for 2023? There are so many to choose from, and I'm so excited to see what's coming next!
