Case Marshall is clearly quite the asset to Marvel when it comes to promoting its characters and brands. Whether he is smiling at the camera or inhabiting a character, it is hard to take one’s attention off of him. Marvel has plenty on its plate, with numerous films and shows lined up for the next few years. It’s safe to say the films are satisfying the audience expectations and the excitement is equally well deserved for the streaming channel Disney+, which consists of multiple series and animation. Here’s a closer look at the announced Marvel projects, their relevance, and what fans can anticipate in 2025 and onwards.

January 2025: Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man
From January 29, 2025, Marvel will introduce an animated series titled Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man which explores a self-contained, unaffiliated story for the web-slinger. Unlike the original premise that had a straight tie-in to Tom Holland’s Spider-Man, this one takes on a new perspective where there is no cross-over with the MCU. There are promises of appearances from characters like Norman Osborn and Venom, and Doctor Strange, all leading up to a story arc with likely Spider Man’s transformation into the black suit.
February 2025: Captain America: Brave New World
Sam Wilson’s journey continues as Captain America in Brave New World which is set to be released February 2025. This film also brings in key characters such as Red Hulk and Leader giving a new twist to the franchise. The fans of Marvel in general remain excited towards the further development of the storyline in relation to the larger events within the MCU.
March 2025: Daredevil: Born Again
The return of Matt Murdock in Daredevil: Born Again is perhaps one of the most anticipated announcements out of Marvel. Releasing on March 4, 2025, this Disney+ original series brings back the dark atmosphere that resonated with the audience the most. The series will include great action scenes, Kingpin’s return to the main cast, and the notorious Frank Castle (The Punisher), which gives almost an ideal combination of dark tales and classic ease of the Daredevil.”
May 2025: Thunderbolts
It was a very interesting character indeed. Sentry, is known to have more power than most. Even in the comics, he is referred to as “the man who could do it all.” Considering the ThunderBolts’ more human-like powers, it is going to be interesting to see how Sentry fits into the picture. Now all this builds up to the announcement that ThunderBolts will be released in May 2025, there is a lot of hype going upConsidering the amount of hype the announcement has created. Pthe filmmakers have promised that during their movie, the team will clash with the sentry, a character who is portrayed in thunderbolt series for the first time. Wondering how this will play out? In what weight this will be balanced?
June 2025: Ironheart
After appearing in Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, Riri Williams aka Ironheart will now debut her own series on Disney+ airing on 24th June, 2025. The show focuses on Riri’s college life at MIT while she constructs a new Ironheart armor and fights enemies including Parker Robbins. On top of that, Mephisto’s potential involvement adds a mystical flavor to the plot.
July 2025: Fantastic Four – First Steps
One of the most looked forward to the films of the year has to be the MCU debut of the Fantastic Four which will be released on July 25, 2025. Set in an alternate timeline, this movie would apparently showcase a young version of Victor Von Doom while having a retro theme to it. It will be interesting to see how the Marvel Universe reimagines this legendary group of superheroes.
August 2025: Eyes of Wakanda
This animated series set to premiere on August 6, 2025, focuses on the history of Wakanda through the lives of past Black Panthers, T’Chaka and Azuri. Although this has helped in creating historical context, a number of fans appear to have lost interest due to the portrayal of T’Challa.
October 2025: Marvel Zombies
Marvel Zombies, a gory cartoon reverberating off What If… is coming out on October 25th, 2025. The evil and corruption that lurks within an alternate universe threatens all superheroes & supervillains thanks to a vampiric zombie apocalypse. More blood, more violence, and some characters like Blade & Moon Knight might make an appearance.
December 2025: Wonder Man
Wonder Man is an interesting take on the superhero genre and the nature of comics as a whole. The Wonder Man series features Yahya Abdul-Mateen II and has a special focus on Wonder Man’s life as a Hollywood actor and superhero. Scheduled for release on December 25, 2025, this series will be full of comedic content while still remaining connected to the universe’s overarching story.

2025 is when the Marvel studio chokes the calendar with continuous content and there is no month without a single release.
