A host of studios were in attendance at CCXP in São Paulo, Brazil last weekend. This, of course, was to promote some of their upcoming projects for films and television shows.
One of those in attendance was Marvel, who revealed some juicy new information regarding their upcoming Marvel Cinematic Universe projects. So without further ado, here are 5 things Marvel revealed in CCXP 2019.
1. First look at “The Falcon & The Winter Soldier”

No concept art this time, as both Anthony Mackie and Sebastian Stan are dressed casually in the first look of the series. “The Falcon & The Winter Soldier” will be the first among a number of MCU series coming to Disney+, with the show’s release date being set around August of 2020.

Marvel also gave audiences a first look into “WandaVision”. The image shows Wanda and a very human-like Vision sitting on a couch in a heavily 1950s sitcom inspired setting. This almost confirms that Wanda has created something like a pocket dimension, where she was able to connect with her long lost love. The show will also be connected to upcoming Dr Strange movie “Dr Strange In The Multiverse Of Madness”.
3. New Black Widow poster

A new “Black Widow” poster was revealed at CCXP, along with an extended “Black Widow” trailer. The extended scene showed humorous interactions between Melina Vostokoff aka Iron Maiden (played by Rachel Weisz), Alexei aka Red Guardian (played by David Harbour) and Natasha Romanoff aka Black Widow (played by Scarlett Johansson). In addition, the extended clip showed some action scenes with Taskmaster, but it didn’t add anything more to the plot.
4. Footage from “The Eternals”
A romance between @gemma_chan's Sersi and Richard Madden's Ikaris was seemingly hinted at in the first footage from #TheEternals shown at #CCXP! https://t.co/VW13quzaws pic.twitter.com/DTT3KIaQAo

Exclusive first footage of “The Eternals” was shown at CCXP by Marvel, with Marvel head Kevin Feige taking to the stage. In the footage audience saw, the cast members were in full costumes, located in different locations, to showcase the diversity and international casting found in the film. Noteworthy scenes include Ajax fighting a horde of monsters and the romance between Sersi and Ikarus.
Feige teased after the footage that “The Eternals” will be “unlike anything you’ve ever seen before” and “What’s going to happen to redefine and change the MCU in Phase Four.” “The Eternals” will be arriving in cinema on 5th November 2020.
5. The next major Avengers team-up
When Feige was on stage, he talked about the possibility of another grand team-up in the same vein as “Avengers: Endgame”. He assured fans that the plans for the idea are already on the way, but, noted that the company is committed to providing exceptional stories for each of its movie release.
“The MCU is all interconnected, but we really focus on one movie at a time,” Feige said. “We’re going to make the best ‘Black Widow’ movie we can possibly make, the best ‘Eternals’ movie we can make, the best ‘Shang-Chi’, the best ‘Doctor Strange’, ‘Thor’, ‘Captain Marvel’, ‘Black Panther’…and keep evolving their stories.”
He then concluded, “Then, yes, it is always fun to see them come together in a master plan. Which is, I promise you well-underway.”
