Marvel's Next Big Thing: 12 Upcoming MCU Shows You Won't Want to Miss!
Beyond Agatha: Marvel's Packed Lineup of Upcoming MCU Shows
Agatha: Coven of Chaos might be the latest MCU show to hit Disney+, but hold onto your hats, because there are tons more Marvel Cinematic Universe shows coming! The end of the Infinity Saga and the rise of Disney+ saw Marvel go full throttle into long-form storytelling. This allowed many support characters a chance to shine (like She-Hulk, Daredevil, Ms. Marvel, and Moon Knight) And guess what? This strategy is continuing even beyond those early shows! We’re talking about 12 shows already confirmed. This was after those various initial difficulties.
Some of those earlier Disney+ series were divisive; however others (WandaVision, Ms. Marvel, Moon Knight, Hawkeye, and Loki) became some of the most beloved parts of the whole MCU; however, it is clear there have been changes recently, which are only hinted at; and it might slow things down a little—as Bob Iger hinted there'd be a bit of a slowdown from Marvel overall, meaning these productions will get far more attention during that development phase. This could actually prove to be beneficial to ensure those key qualities; however, it's noteworthy to consider those various factors and expectations that need careful consideration. Despite these announcements there remain some major shows that fans should still anticipate!
The Confirmed MCU TV Shows: From Wakanda to the Multiverse!
12. Eyes of Wakanda: A Vibranium-Fueled Animated Adventure
Announced in December 2023, this animated series expands Wakanda’s lore! This is especially amazing after the huge popularity and significance of the Black Panther movies. Marvel says it tells “the story of brave Wakandan warriors throughout history collecting vibranium artifacts”. It's not yet clear exactly when and where the events will happen in the overall Wakanda storyline, although this animated version is speculated to become something more than just a single season, based upon its enormous amount of production budget. Could it be a prequel?
11. Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man: A New Take on Peter Parker's Beginnings
A 2D animated series, totally separate from Tom Holland’s live-action Spider-Man. It retells Peter's early years! Expect Charlie Cox (Daredevil) and Vincent D'Onofrio (Kingpin)! Oh yeah and a plotline featuring a key moment where it seems Tom Holland's Spider-Man also appears in the form of a cameo which surprised a large part of those audiences who anticipated this release; with Hudson Thames voicing this Peter Parker—it totally revolves around Norman Osborn being that much-important mentor for him rather than Tony Stark!
10. Daredevil: Born Again: The Devil of Hell's Kitchen Returns to the MCU!
With appearances in Spider-Man: No Way Home and She-Hulk, Charlie Cox (as Daredevil) and Vincent D'Onofrio (as Kingpin) fully return for 18 episodes of Daredevil: Born Again (dropping March 2025). They’ll bring back Netflix's Daredevil—adding new stuff that ties things to that mainstream MCU continuity! There are additions, such as Jon Bernthal returning (as Punisher), adding Margarita Levieva, Sandrine Holt, Michael Gandolfini, and Nikki M. James! A second season's already confirmed too.
9. Ironheart: A High-Tech Superhero Rises to Meet the Hood
After her debut in Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, Dominique Thorne's Riri Williams is back, becoming that much-anticipated Ironheart! It shows this battle of technology and magic (with Anthony Ramos' Parker Robbins as The Hood) Filming has concluded so, expect a release in 2024 (Phase 5 of the MCU).
8. X-Men ’97: The Classic Cartoon is Back, Baby! (And More Are Coming!)
That super famous and classic 90's cartoon, X-Men: The Animated Series, gets a continuation. It drops where Season 3 left off. The cast (Wolverine, Storm, Rogue, etc.) totally return to battle legendary villains (Mr Sinister and so many more!). Expect at least two more seasons!
7. Marvel Zombies: A Seriously Spooky New MCU Storyline
From What If…? Season 1, Episode 5, it features an undead MCU, It follows new survivors (Shang-Chi, Katy Chen, Kamala Khan, etc.). Simu Liu's Shang-Chi returns, along with Iman Vellani's Kamala Khan!
6. What If…? Season 3: More Multiverse Madness
Season 2 of What If…? (dropping December 2023) surprised us all with its release. Another is on its way and is now planned and is anticipated as another new season. They may cover Kahhori and Captain Carter, or explore entirely new storylines.
5. Wonder Man: An Actor-Turned-Superhero's Story
Starring Yahya Abdul-Mateen II as Simon Williams (aka Wonder Man)! Also features Ben Kingsley's return (as Trevor Slattery). Filming ended so, expect something soon; even more exciting when remembering all the cast which were previously already involved and that alone increases expectation significantly! And Destin Daniel Cretton’s involvement increases excitement even further, considering his success from his previous project involving that specific cast! This could be seriously good!
4. Vision Quest: The Synthezoid’s Next Adventure!
Paul Bettany returns (as Vision)! It’s a WandaVision spin-off focusing on Vision's adventures post-Westview. Expect the return of James Spader's Ultron! This storyline has an enormously intriguing possibility and adds yet another element to the overall plot development in the coming new series which could completely recontextualize older films like Avengers: Age of Ultron.
3. Spider-Man Noir: Nicolas Cage is Back, In a Dark New Series
This one is massive: it has been heavily implied already this animated character would eventually become a new movie adaptation that would include the legendary Nicolas Cage. This Amazon Prime series puts Nicolas Cage in the Spider-Man Noir role—returning to live-action comics work, even revisiting characters which show his talents. But is this merely more than just bringing the original characters? That remains an unanswered yet incredibly engaging question that further adds hype surrounding this new release, especially concerning the unexpected possibilities presented by using live action for these specific, previously only-seen animated characters.
2. Untitled Wakanda Series: Okoye Takes Center Stage!
Ryan Coogler’s Wakanda series—it explores Wakanda’s story, This features Danai Gurira (as Okoye). It's unknown exactly which plots they’re covering but the possibilities seem really limitless and exciting.
1. Untitled Nova Series: Uncovering Thanos' Secret Attack
This has been hinted at; and it has created that amazing level of intrigue surrounding a major part of Marvel Cinematic Universe’s own history. That secret Thanos attack in Avengers: Infinity War —the Nova series might reveal those previously-unseen elements that could dramatically impact a significant point in the Marvel timeline!
