>BLACK WIDOW begins filming in late February. Movie alternates between 16-year-old Black Widow in the year 2000 in a storyline revolving around the Y2K bug, and 24-year-old Black Widow in the events directly preceding IRON MAN 2.

>THE ETERNALS will begin shooting later this year. They would originally be introduced in GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY VOL. 3, but since that's been delayed, they might cameo in AVENGERS: ENDGAME. The movie will explore the "origin" of the MCU and mostly be set thousands of years into the past. Hercules will be part of the cast, and Thanos is expected to appear in some capacity.

>There are plans to introduce the Black Knight in the MCU. The concept would be that he would be trapped in the Quantum Kingdom, a subatomic city first glimpsed in ANT-MAN & THE WASP. The Quantum Kingdom would feature people from across time and space who were accidentally pulled into the Quantum Realm, among them the Black Knight, who in the comics is a time-displaced Arthurian knight.

>There are plans to revamp the AVENGERS franchise post-ENDGAME with a combination of the comics' New Avengers and Young Avengers. Basically, a team that mixes up established MCU heroes like Doctor Strange, Black Panther and Captain Marvel with a new generation of teenage/young adult heroes inspired by the original Avengers. The idea is for the project to play up the eclectic cast (wizards, aliens, gadgteers, vigilantes, etc) and the "culture clash" between the two age groups.

>There are talks about DARK AVENGERS, which in the comics is a group of supervillains assembled by Norman Osborn to masquerade as the Avengers to advance Osborn's plans of world domination. There reportedly are plans to introduce Osborn in the MCU as essentially the "evil Tony Stark", a wealthy entrepreneur and technological genius who uses his intellect and resources for evil, and sponsors and spearheads his own team of villains. He might not even become the Green Goblin.
