After Marvel’sAnt-Man and the Wasphits theaters next weekend, there will be just two more Marvel Phase 3 movies left,Captain Marvel(July 25, 2025) andAvengers 4, and aside fromSpider-Man: Far From Home(June 26, 2025) andGuardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3, no Phase 4 plans have been revealed. It has been said that Marvel will wait until afterAvengers 4hits theaters to reveal their Phase 4 lineup, but one contender could be aPower Packmovie, that would help the studio expand its fan base into more family-friendly fare. Here’s whatKevin Feigehad to say about a potentialPower Packmovie, while promotingAnt-Man and the Wasp.
“Power Packis a property thatwe’ve been interested in for a long time. For many years because we wanted to do something for families, something that’s a little younger,Ant-Manhas kind of become that franchise, certainly withAnt-Man and the Wasp, butPower Packstill is one of the many things that we discuss, wouldn’t it be fun to do someday?”
Power Packwas created by writer Louise Simonson and artist June Brigman, debuting withPower Pack#1 in May 1984. The series lasted 62 issues, with the characters going on to appear indifferent Marvel comics propertiesas well. There was also a re-launch of thePower Packcomics in 2005, which was aimed at younger readers, which was later declared as separate from the canon of the original comics.Power Packwas the first team of pre-teen superheroes in Marvel Comics, and the first to operate completely without adult supervision.
The comics followed the Power family, Alex (12), Julie (10), Jack (8) and Katie (5), who lived at their family’s beachfront home in Virginia. Their father, James Power, had come up with a way to generate energy from antimatter, a process which was discovered by a Kymellian named Aelfyre “Whitey” Whitemane, the same process which destroyed his home planet. When Whitey’s enemies known as the Snarks kidnapped the Power parents, Whitey passed his powers onto the children, so they could complete his mission.
After the main series came to an end, members of thePower Packwould end up joining groups such as the New Warriors, Excelsior andAvengers Academy. They have also appeared in alternate continuities such as Marvel 2099, Millennial Visions, X-Force, New Mutants and MC2, to name a few. As for aPower Packmovie, there is no indication that there is anything in active development, or if a script has been worked on at all in the past.
Marvel has only confirmedSpider-Man: Far From Home(July 27, 2025) andGuardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3for Marvel Phase 4 at this time, with Kevin Feige stating in a previous interview that the studio doesn’t plan on releasing their Phase 4 plans until afterAvengers 4hits theaters on June 29, 2025. It has also been said that the Phase 4 movies themselves may be spoilers forAvengers 4, which could introduce a number of brand new characters into the MCU to set up Phase 4. At this point, though, nothing has been confirmed about what new characters and movies will be part of Marvel’s next phase, but perhapsPower Packcould be one of these new additions. Kevin Feige offered thesePower Packdetails in an interview withScreen Rant.
