This highly anticipated film is set to release on May 2, 2025. It is being produced by Marvel Studios and distributed by Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures.

On September 23, 2024, Marvel Entertainment unveiled the trailer, captivating fans with its combination of music and action-packed sequences. The song used is Where Is My Mind, originally released by the alternative rock band Pixies in 1988.

This track evokes feelings of unease and disorientation, aptly reflecting the experiences of the characters within the MCU as they navigate their tumultuous lives.
