Marvel President Kevin Feige confirmed that Deadpool 3 has a spot on the Marvel Cinematic Universe release schedule -- but he's not ready to reveal it.

Feige teased Deadpool 3's impending release during an episode of Comicbook.com's Phase Zero podcast when asked if Marvel had an internal release window for the film. "We do," he said. "And the script is in the works and Ryan [Reynolds] is working very hard on it with our writers as we speak."

Marvel Studios’ ‘What If…?’: Jeffrey Wright Talks Voicing Marvel’s Most ‘Passionate Fan’ with The Watcher
https://www.marvel.com/articles/tv-shows/what-if-jeffrey-wright-the-watcher
“The character's an interesting one,” he explains. “He's got these strange powers that we've never really witnessed before. He has access to these worlds, and he has a type of vision that is pretty much singular to him. There was a lot of stuff to be excited about, and to play with, and to try to figure out. The Watcher is introduced on the cover of 1963’s FANTASTIC FOUR as the most dramatic being in all of the universe. If you get asked as an actor to play something like that, you kind of take interest! It's all about that drama. He's born into the Marvel Universe in an interesting way, popping out on the moon there with the Fantastic Four. I wanted to find out who he was so that I could figure out, how might he sound for the first time, hearing him?”

Kevin Feige Gives Update on ‘Loki’ Season 2, Says Director Search Will Begin Shortly
https://collider.com/loki-season-2-update-filming-when-kevin-feige-interview/
Collider’s Steve Weintraub spoke with Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige during the press day for Marvel’s new film Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings, he asked Feige for an update on Loki Season 2. The Marvel executive was characteristically tight-lipped, but did confirm development is underway and the hope is to retain much of the same team that made Season 1 of the series:
“It is underway. We’re developing it as we speak. The hope is that much of the same team will return. Kate is going on to bigger and better things, so the director search will begin shortly.”
As for when Loki Season 2 might start filming, Feige promised he’s “not being evasive” but said he’s “not sure exactly where it falls between next year and the year after.” So production could begin as soon as 2022, or it might not go before cameras until 2023, which means an even longer wait until it’s on Disney+.
Loki was not originally planned as an ongoing series, but the decision to make a second season was made during production, which led to some tweaks to the final episode. After the finale of Loki aired, reports surfaced that Hiddleston will be seen as Loki in the feature film Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness. So it’s possible that whatever Loki Season 2 is is tied to how the multiverse unfurls across the next few Marvel movies. Shang-Chi and Eternals both appear to be fairly disconnected from the multiverse idea, but Spider-Man: No Way Home and the aforementioned Doctor Strange sequel both reportedly deal with the arrival of the multiverse pretty heavily.

Marvel’s ‘Armor Wars’ Starring Don Cheadle Taps Yassir Lester As Head Writer Of Disney+ Series
https://deadline.com/2021/08/marvels-armory-war-yassir-lester-1234818795/
Sources say Yassir Lester has been brought on to pen Armor Wars starring Don Cheadle, who will reprise his role of James Rhodes aka War Machine. Plot details are vague other then the question being raised, what would happen if Tony Starks technology fell into the wrong hands?
