Disney+ Announces Its Upcoming Slate of Marvel Series

Disney+ kicked off its “Disney Plus Day” celebrations with tons of exciting announcements and exclusive premieres from Pixar, Star Wars, National Geographic, Marvel, and more.

When it came time to reveal how the streaming platform would move forward with the Marvel Cinematic Universe on the small screen, Disney’s assault of series announcements did not disappoint.

Here is every Marvel Studios original series confirmed during Disney Plus Day:

Moon Knight

Moon Knight‘s globe-trotting adventure will follow Oscar Isaac’s Marc Spector, a vigilante who suffers from dissociative identity disorder.

According to Marvel’s official synopsis, “The multiple identities who live inside him find themselves thrust into a deadly war of the gods against the backdrop of modern and ancient Egypt. ”

Directed by Mohamed Diab, Moon Knight is set to hit Disney+ in 2022.

Ms. Marvel

Iman Vellani’s Kamala Khan is touching down on Disney+ next summer with a story that will appeal to the superhero-loving geeks in all of us as it explores the cape crusader experience through the eyes of a fellow fan.

Ms. Marvel will follow a “16-year old Pakistani American from Jersey City. An aspiring artist, an avid gamer, and a voracious fan-fiction scribe, she is a huge fan of the Avengers — and one in particular, Captain Marvel. But Kamala has always struggled to find her place in the world — that is until she gets superpowers like the heroes she’s always looked up to.”

Executive Producers Adil El Arbi & Bilall Fallah, Meera Menon, and Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy will direct episodes for this original series.

She-Hulk

Tatiana Maslany is ready to make her MCU debut as Jennifer Walters; teasing fans with a first look at the lawyer who specializes in superhuman-oriented legal cases, and her green alter-ego.

According to Marvel, “She-Hulk will welcome a host of Marvel characters to the series, including the Hulk, played by Mark Ruffalo, and the Abomination, played by Tim Roth.” Written by Jessica Gao and directed by Kat Coiro and Anu Valia, this comedy series is coming to Disney+ in 2022.

Echo

Coming soon to Disney+, this newly-announced series will star Alaqua Cox as Maya Lopez, a character who will be introduced in Marvel Studios’ Hawkeye and goes by the alias “Echo”. 

Ironheart

In the wake of Tony Stark’s death and the rise of a new generation of Avengers, Dominique Thorne will step into the role of Riri Williams for Ironheart.

Riri’s character is described by Marvel as “a genius inventor who creates the most advanced suit of armor since Iron Man.”

Agatha: House of Harkness

It seems Marvel Studios intended to use Agatha all along. Yes, Kathryn Hahn will return as the villainous witch in her very own stand-alone series titled, Agatha: House of Harkness.

According to Marvel, the series is intended to “reveal more about the character first introduced in Marvel Studios’ WandaVision.” Jac Schaefer, who served as head writer and executive producer on WandaVision, will return to those roles to oversee this project.

Secret Invasion

Secret Invasion, a series that has been teased throughout several projects now, will see Samuel L. Jackson reprise his role as Nick Fury and Ben Mendelsohn as the Skrull Talos. The two characters first crossed paths in Captain Marvel.

This crossover comic-book event will shed light on the “faction of shapeshifting Skrulls who have been infiltrating Earth for years.”

What If…? Season 2

What If…? is the first Marvel series from the original Phase 4 line-up to officially announce a return to Disney+.

As for what we can expect from Season 2 of this groundbreaking animated series, Marvel explains that “after enlisting the Guardians of the Multiverse to stop Infinity Ultron, The Watcher returns in Season 2 of What If…? to meet new heroes and explore more strange new worlds in the MCU’s ever-expanding Multiverse.”

X-Men ’97

Based on the original animated series, this reimagining of the classic cartoon will explore “new stories in the iconic 90s timeline.” Written by Executive Producer Beau DeMayo, X-Men ’97 is arriving on Disney+ in 2023 with all-new episodes.

Spider-Man: Freshman Year

Spidey fans rejoice! A new animated series is ready to swing its way into our hearts with a light-hearted high school romp for everyone’s friendly neighbourhood superhero.

The story will focus on Peter Parker in the early days of becoming Spider-Man in the MCU with a “journey unlike we’ve ever seen and a style that celebrates the character’s early comic book roots.”

Marvel Zombies

With the successful introduction of What If…?‘s zombie episode, Marvel Studios is moving forward with an animated series that imagines the Marvel Universe once again as an apocalyptic wasteland.

Marvel Zombies will explore a darker lens as a “new generation of heroes battle against an ever-spreading zombie scourge.”

I Am Groot

Now for the cutest announcement of the bunch, a Baby Groot animated series called I Am Groot. The series of shorts will center around the tiny talking tree’s “glory days growing up, and getting into trouble, among the stars.”

These Guardians of the Galaxy-inspired shorts will be directed by Executive Producer Kirsten Lepore.
