Two New Marvel Series in the Works at Disney+
Disney boss Bob Iger has let slip that there are another couple of mystery Marvel shows in development for the Disney+ streaming service
Disney CEO Bob Iger has set tongues wagging and Marvel fans’ brains racing in a new earnings call, detailed over at THR this week – it appears that there’s already more Marvel content in the works at Disney+.
Along with news that WandaVision released later in December.
It’s previously been announced that The Falcon & the Winter Soldier and What If? series also on the cards.
The gooey surprise at the centre of the call, then, is that Iger revealed “There are seven other Marvel series in various stages of development or preproduction” outside of Falcon & Winter Soldier, WandaVision, and Loki. That leaves two series uned for at this stage! We …don’t know what they are (sorry) but we very much want to.
It’s too early to get excited about the possibility that new Hawkeye Kate Bishop, Kamala Khan and She-Hulk’s Jennifer Walters could get their own team-up series on Disney+, or that a Secret Invasion or Young Avengers project could be in the pipeline, but that probably won’t stop us dreaming about these or any other number of possibilities.
Truly, there are an absolute ton of rumors doing the rounds about just how interconnected these Disney+ series will be with Ms Marvel will get underway this July, but also reveal that actors coming aboard the show must make themselves available to shoot for an entire year afterwards.
Putting two and two together (and making four, for now) it looks like a few of Ms Marvel’s cast will likely production on Captain Marvel 2, slated to release in 2022. Presumably, if Ms Marvel is a success on the streaming service, a second season may well start filming around the Brie Larson-led sequel, so if Disney+ and Marvel get their ducks in a row, Carol and Kamala could get a huge chance to dominate Marvel’s big and small screen schedules within a few years.
28.6 million people have subscribed to Disney+ since its launch last November, and March will see the platform roll out in the UK and other territories.
We’ll bring you more news on Marvel and Disney+’s more secretive TV plans as soon as we can. Meanwhile, Marvel’s Black Widow solo movie will be our next encounter with the MCU. It’s set for release on May 1.
Kirsten Howard will tell you that the Fast & Furious franchise peaked with Tokyo Drift, even if you didn’t ask.
