“I know I didn’t say any more surprises,” Marvel Studios could have said after releasing the updated list of Phase 4 titles from the Marvel Cinematic Universe during Disney Investor Day. This would be followed, of course, by Tony Stark’s next desperate line Avengers: Endgame, “I was really hoping to get one last one.” Well, color us very surprised in the last weeks of 2021: Marvel studios have a kind of musical performance on New Year’s Eve that will be completed with a preview of what will come from the studios in 2021. That’s real. There is still no word on who participates.
This musical event, now officially promoted by Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige, will air during Bilibili’s New Year’s Eve concert aimed at a young audience in China. China is one of the biggest box offices in the world, often surpassing the rest of the world for certain movie titles. Marvel’s drive to focus on the Asian audience is a clever work for business, especially considering that there’s finally an Asian superhero on Simu Liu’s Shang-Chi path. If you do not have access to the channels where it will be broadcast, it is a safe bet that the content will reach Twitter.
In the following video, Feige officially announces the music event and offers a test of what’s to come in 2021.
