Marvel Entertainment is rolling out the red carpet to celebrate its remarkable 85th anniversary, marking the occasion with a spectacular promotional video. This new clip, which has already ignited fan excitement across Marvel’s official social media channels, pays homage to Marvel’s storied past while also providing thrilling teasers for an array of highly anticipated upcoming projects.
The opening scene of the promotional video is guaranteed to catch the eyes of die-hard Marvel fans, with a sneak peek into the release of “Thunderbolts,” scheduled to make its grand entry in IMAX theaters on May 2, 2025. The teaser is packed with action, featuring a suspenseful scene where the elevator doors dramatically open to reveal our team of antiheroes. The high-intensity segment stars Red Guardian, played by David Harbour, Ghost, portrayed by Hannah John-Kamen, Bucky Barnes, brought to life by Sebastian Stan, Yelena Belova, enacted by Florence Pugh, and US Agent, embodied by Wyatt Russell. This preview alone is enough to promise a blend of intense action and complex character dynamics.
The video continues to build excitement with a dynamic glimpse into “Daredevil: Born Again,” premiering on Disney+ in March 2025. The spotlight in this portion of the video is on Charlie Cox, who reprises his much-loved role as Matt Murdock, also known as Daredevil. Fans will recall Cox’s previous portrayals of the character in the Netflix series “Daredevil” (2015-2018) and “The Defenders” (2017). Cox’s reappearance in the MCU, including his brief role in “She-Hulk: Attorney at Law” (2022), has been met with immense enthusiasm, and this new production is eagerly awaited.
Not to be outdone, the promo closes with a gripping scene from “Captain America: Brave New World,” set for its IMAX debut on February 14, 2025. This portion throws the spotlight on none other than Harrison Ford’s Red Hulk, who makes a dramatic entrance at a presidential podium in front of the White House. The transformation sequence is nothing short of spectacular, showcasing a formidable display of power that hints at the high-stakes drama and intense action sequences fans can look forward to.
The promotional video is laced with a reflective message that encapsulates Marvel’s historical journey: “It began as an experiment to create an epic narrative that would become a universe of storytelling. For 85 years, our stories have connected us. We’ve only just begun.” These words perfectly capture the essence of Marvel’s enduring legacy and exuberant future.
Equally poignant is the voiceover from the late Stan Lee, the legendary co-creator of Marvel, bringing an emotional touch to the clip. Lee reminisces about the storytelling philosophy that fueled Marvel’s success: “I’ve always tried to do stories that the characters have human qualities anybody can relate to.
. … And of course, I can’t leave without saying, ‘Excelsior!'” This heartfelt inclusion of Lee’s voice reminds fans of the creative vision and personal passion that have guided Marvel’s stories over the decades.
The timing of this promo is particularly significant as Marvel continues to expand its ambitious Phase Five. This new phase promises to add fresh layers to the Marvel Cinematic Universe with projects like “Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania,” “Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3,” “The Marvels,” and the much-anticipated “Deadpool & Wolverine.”
According to industry reports from Deadline, Phase Five will also feature new series aiming to enrich Marvel’s narrative tapestry. Upcoming content includes “Secret Invasion,” Season 2 of “Loki,” Season 2 of “What If…?”, “Echo,” “Agatha All Along,” “Eyes of Wakanda,” “Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man,” and “Ironheart.” All of these endeavors reflect Marvel’s commitment to pushing the boundaries of its universe, exploring new storylines, and introducing fresh characters.
The celebratory promo serves as a powerful reminder of Marvel’s incredible journey so far and an exhilarating teaser of what’s next. As fans around the world mark this monumental 85th anniversary, Marvel’s message is clear: their storytelling adventure is far from over—in fact, it’s just beginning.
