Marvel has shared an extensive lineup of shows set for Disney+ in 2025, revealing release dates for Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man, a Spider-Man prequel, and providing first looks at Daredevil: Born Again, Wonder Man, and more.
A nearly two-minute trailer highlights six upcoming Marvel Cinematic Universe series, kicking off with Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man on January 29.
Marvel also revealed a first look at this animated series, which serves as a prequel to the Tom Holland films, focusing on Peter Parker’s first year in high school.
Following Spider-Man is Daredevil: Born Again, which already held a March 4 release date. Marvel premiered the first footage featuring Charlie Cox as Matt Murdock (Daredevil) alongside returning characters, including Vincent D’Onofrio as Wilson Fisk (Kingpin) and Jon Bernthal as Frank Castle (Punisher).
Ironheart is set to arrive on June 24, another newly announced date. This series follows Dominique Thorne’s Riri Williams, the hero introduced in Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, as she creates the most advanced suit since Iron Man, grappling with the associated challenges and consequences.
Marvel also confirmed Eyes of Wakanda for August 6, an animated series that follows Wakandan warriors from the past on global journeys to recover vibranium artifacts.
The final two shows will debut in late 2025, with Marvel Zombies arriving in October and Wonder Man in December. Marvel offered a first look at Wonder Man, featuring Yahya Abdul-Mateen II as the titular character.
Alongside these series, Marvel’s packed schedule will feature films including Captain America: Brave New World on February 14, Thunderbolts on May 2, and The Fantastic Four: First Steps on July 25.
This ambitious lineup marks a pivotal period for the MCU, as Marvel awaits fans’ reception to such an intensive release schedule, coming after a lighter 2024, which saw just one film and three shows.
Since the end of Phase 3 with Avengers: Endgame—which closed the first major MCU saga and bid farewell to core characters like Robert Downey Jr.’s Iron Man and Chris Evans’ Captain America—the franchise has been introducing a new wave of heroes, including Shang-Chi, the Eternals, Ms. Marvel, and Moon Knight.
However, the MCU’s shift to more frequent releases has drawn criticism. Beyond questions of content quality, the quantity of material is under scrutiny.
For instance, Phase 1 of the MCU spanned 12 hours and 24 minutes, while Phase 4 extended to 54 hours and 40 minutes—even before Marvel integrated 161 hours of its Netflix series into the MCU canon.
This vast influx has left some fans struggling to stay engaged with every release, as seen with The Marvels, which, despite critical praise, suffered the lowest box office performance in MCU history.
Disney CEO Bob Iger acknowledged this concern, noting that the high volume of content has “diluted” the “focus and attention” of fans.
