Here’s the third and last January Q&A with Alex Perez Q&A! This time, Alex answers questions from our Bluesky followers and Discord members about Shang-Chi, Spider-Man, Thor, Thunderbolts, X-Men and more!
Shang-Chi and the Ten Rings
Titan: Shang-Chi 2 has been in development for a while, do you think we’ll see it in 2027 or do you think it’s been scheduled for even later than that?
Alex Perez: It may be a while, but it’ll probably one of the first movies of the next phase.
sahil: What are the organizations you expect to see in future MCU like S.H.I.E.L.D. or HYDRA who consistently appears?
Alex Perez: DODC is one. And Ten Rings.
Spider-Man
Harsha Adhikary: If Knull is still in Spider-Man 4, can we expect other symbiotes in the film too or no? Thank you for your time!
Alex Perez: Too early for me to say personally.
Michael: With CinemaCon coming up, have you heard anything new about Spider-Man 4‘s plot and cast (Besides the newly engaged Tom Holland and Zendaya)?
Alex Perez: Nope.
Michael: Because of the changes made to the saga and your earlier reveal about Clea and the incursion, are the events of Spiderman: No Way Home now directly linked with the plot of Avengers: Doomsday and Secret Wars?
Alex Perez: They’ve always been linked. If I had to divide the blame as to who is responsible for the current incursion 616 is about to face, 75% of it goes to Strange, with 60% being the events of NWH.
Roegex82: Hey Alex, hope you’re doing great. I’m wondering when we will get to know the main villain in Spider-Man 4. And if you do know the villain, can we get any hints?
Alex Perez: Most likely it’ll be revealed by the trades in the coming months.
Seidsama: Tom Holland begins shooting The Odyssey next month until May/June. Which implies that he would be able to shoot one post credit scene for Doomsday at best before he begins shooting Spider-Man 4. Do you think Spidey 4 will be an Ant-Man 2 type of movie which takes place before the events of Doomsday to serve the storyline?
Alex Perez: To my understanding, no.
FootlongSlinky: Hey Alex, have you heard if Knull is still the villain of Spider-Man 4?
Alex Perez: I haven’t had much for updates on Spidey 4 yet.
RedGyarados2010: Hey Alex! Any idea what the MCU’s plans are for Miles Morales? Is it possible we could see him on the Champions team like in the comics?
Alex Perez: Look up when I mentioned YA/Champions in the previous Q&A article.
@burgerking108.bsky.social: Hey Alex! Thanks so much for doing these. Has Tom Holland signed a larger deal for Spider-Man 4/5/6, or might 4 be the last Spider-Man film we see him in?
Alex Perez: Tom has another trilogy ahead of him and I believe 3 MCU Non-Spidey film appearances (Doomsday and Secret Wars being two and a third one that’s not yet disclosed.) In addition, he is also the first actor to have a say in how his story goes in terms of character development, and it’s something that not only affects the MCU side of storytelling, but how Sony operates their upcoming cinematic universe reboot all together.
@bearshoqapik.bsky.social: Is it true that Spider-Man and Punisher are teaming up in Spider-Man 4?
Alex Perez: I don’t believe that is the case.
@darkgamingbro.bsky.social: Could we see Scream, Agony and Toxin in Spider-Man 4?
Alex Perez: I haven’t heard anything about that.
Strange Academy
@docamazone4.bsky.social: Hey Alex, hope you’re doing well! I was wondering if the rumors on the Strange Academy TV show were true? And if so, who can we expect to be part of the school? Students and teachers as well.
Alex Perez: They are. I can expect Wong and America Chavez to be in the show. I’ve also heard about Nico Minoru.
Thor
Leia🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷: Good morning world and all who inhabit it! Thor is 100% gonna be in Doomsday and Secret Wars right?
Alex Perez: Yup.
Leia🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷: Any real word on Thor 5?
Alex Perez: All I currently know about Thor 5 was that it involved Valhalla, the Thor Corps, Hercules and Ares.
Thunderbolts*
daofeiboy: Have you heard anything regarding what should we expect from the Thunderbolts* post-credit scene?
Alex Perez: Nope.
daofeiboy: This Thunderbolts team is a one and done film or is there any kind of intention to do a sequel to it in the future, maybe with another team?
Alex Perez: The Thunderbolts* (Not the final name) will return in Avengers: Doomsday.
∀: Hello guys, thank you again for doing this! I hope all of you are having a nice day. Will we know something related to those healing particles Scott was gathering for Ava’s condition in Thunderbolts*? Any chances we get Bucky addressing his relationship with Natasha in Thunderbolts* too?
Alex Perez: Yep and I don’t know. I know we get into Yelena’s depression, which has to do in part with Natasha, so it will be addressed in part.
Wanda, Vision, Billy & Tommy
CamCam: Will the WandaVision family unit (Wanda, Vision, Billy, Tommy) reunite before the Multiverse Saga ends?
Alex Perez: I’m not actually sure at the moment.
Keke4002: Hi Alex, I hope you are doing well. I would like to know if the Wanda movie is still in the works? And if so, when could it be released?
Alex Perez: They’re working on a solo Scarlet Witch project, but no movement on that.
X-Men
Alex Perez: Not sure, actually. I heard they want to do new actors.
@burgerking108.bsky.social: Hey Alex! Thanks so much for doing these. Have you heard anything about the Russo Bros. being involved in “guiding” the Mutant saga post Secret Wars?
Alex Perez: I have.
mandrew149: Is the mix of X-Men new and old part of the same universe in Avengers?
Alex Perez: A bit of both. Same actors with new iterations that look like the X-Men ‘97 counterparts. And also new characters in the fray as well.
Miscellaneous questions
Ecko: Thoughts on the 97th Oscars nominations, i.e. who are your highlights to win, any surprises that appeared on the list, any snubs, etc.?
Alex Perez: I actually don’t follow Oscar nominations. But I hope Wicked wins.
mandrew149: What do the Ultimates entail for Avengers/Spider-Man 4?
Alex Perez: The comic? There is some basis for it, but in Avengers. Not really Spidey.
sahil: Do you expect phase 6 of the multiverse saga, starting from Fantastic 4 to Secret Wars to be phase 3 level of Infinity saga quality? Like, consistently great stuff?
Alex Perez: I hope so. But there’s a lot of fun stuff coming out.
icast05: Hey, Alex! Hope you’re doing well! Despite Marvel pivoting away from Kang, are there still plans to include Ravonna in the next Avengers films?
Alex Perez: She’s currently in the Void, along with some fun characters we have yet to meet.
LaiHsinyi92: Is there any talk regarding how the Avengers will be utilized in phase 7 and beyond?
Alex Perez: Avengers vs the Annihilation Wave for starters. And also against the Celestials. It’s about to get cosmic.
RedGyarados2010: Hey Alex! There have been rumors about the West Coast Avengers being set up in future projects such as Wonder Man and Vision? Assuming that’s true, who else can we expect to see on the team?
Alex Perez: I don’t really know much about that, sorry.
Drew Reed: Do we think Annihilation could be the next big chapter of the MCU post Secret Wars?
Alex Perez: Yes, yes, yes, yes and yes. Please, for the love of god read it. It starts with the Nova series and keeps expanding from there.
jadedletohater: Have you heard anything about the possibility of revivals for the other Netflix Marvel shows?
Alex Perez: Not particularly. Just that the characters from those shows will return eventually as part of Daredevil.
Folkito1hunnid: Thanks for always answering our questions. In the next phases, are Squadron Supreme and Captain Britain in the planning?
Alex Perez: Not sure about Squadron Supreme, but I have heard about Captain Britain.
Folkito1hunnid: Could we see another TVA centered project, maybe with Justice Peace post Secret Wars or down the line in phase 7?
Alex Perez: Not sure, but I’d love that.
@ghostofthebasement.bsky.social: Have you played Marvel Rivals yet? If so, who do you main?
Alex Perez: I do. And I’m a Scarlet Witch main, but also use Adam Warlock and Doctor Strange.
@rhymeofapoem.bsky.social: Hey, have you heard any other names besides James Hawes to direct Lanterns?
Alex Perez: Nope
@delphipython.bsky.social: Hey! Wanted to check on my new bestie – Echo, are there any plans for her in the future?
Alex Perez: Nothing as of yet.
@delphipython.bsky.social: And do you think there is still some space in this saga for any not yet officially announced projects? I’m really hoping for at least one more movie in between Avengers
Alex Perez: There is.
toastef: I know there might not be a concrete answer for this at the moment, but could you see Nova crossing paths with the Guardians in the future? More specifically Star-Lord? I worry with Star-Lord leaving the team, we may see him out of the spotlight moving forward.
Alex Perez: I haven’t.
toastef: Don’t have any other burning questions again. Another tiny, cryptic tease?
Alex Perez: When in doubt as to how to fight against the end of your universe by a giant planet eating entity, play the “Power of Love” by Celine Dion.
