Marvel Studios has officially unveiled a new sizzle reel for 2025 on Disney+, including live-action series “Daredevil: Born Again,” “Ironheart” and “Wonder Man” and the first look at the animated series “Your Friendly Neighboring Spider-Man,” “Eyes of Wakanda” and “Marvel Zombies.”

“Your Friendly Neighbor Spider-Man” opens Jan. 29; The animated series will bring some new characters to the story of Peter Parker's first year as the web-slinger, including Nico Minoru (from the Runaways team) and Amadeus Cho (who is the New Hulk in the comics).

Marvel previously announced that “Daredevil: Born Again” will debut on March 4, but the teaser finally provides the first solid look at the show, which will continue the events of the “Daredevil” series that ran on Netflix for three seasons starting in 2015. 2018. Charlie Cox's Matt Murdock and Vincent D'Onofrio's Kingpin have already popped up a few times, including in the Disney+ series “Hawkeye,” “She-Hulk: Attorney at Law” and “Echo.” Also returning: Jon Bernthal as Frank Castle (aka The Punisher) and Wilson Bethel as Benjamin “Dex” Poindexter (aka Bullseye). The teaser also includes a blink-and-you'll-miss-it shot of the white-masked villain, Muse.

On June 24, “Ironheart” — which continues the story of genius inventor Riri Williams (Dominic Thorne), first introduced in 2022's “Black Panther: Wakanda Forever” — will finally debut after production began in June 2022. As the teaser showcases Riri's super suit prowess, we hear Anthony Ramos as the villain, Parker Robbins (aka The Hood), spell out his morally dubious philosophy: “Anyone who's achieved something iconic in life has had to do some questionable things to do it. . ”

The teaser only features two tantalizing shots from the animated series “Eyes of Wakanda,” which will detail the Wakandan War Dogs' efforts throughout the country's history to recover vibranium artifacts. The four-part series will premiere on August 6.

“Marvel Zombies” — in which many of the studio's beloved superheroes, including Captain America, Scarlet Witch, Captain Marvel and Clint Burton, become part of an army of the undead — will be Marvel's first TV-MA animated show. Naturally, it will debut in October 2025.

The most intriguing revelation in the teaser comes in brief footage of “Wonder Man,” starring Emmy winner Yahya Abdul-Mateen II (“Watchmen,” “Aquaman”) as Simon Williams. In the comics, the character is a business magnate who runs into Stark Industries on his way to becoming a top superhero, but in the teaser, we first see Abdul-Mateen auditioning as an actor with Simon. the game Wonder Man — Set up the show as a meta comedy about Hollywood and superhero storytelling We also get a taste of what happens when Simon crosses paths with Trevor Slattery, Ben Kingsley's layabout from “Iron Man 3” and “Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings.” The show will debut in December 2025.

The studio has announced that the third and final season of “What If…?” — the animated series that explores the multiverse for alternate stories for familiar characters — will debut later this year, on Dec. 22. The show will likely repeat the release pattern of Season 2, when a new episode will debut every day from December 22, 2023 through the rest of the month.

While the extensive slate of TV titles (which leaked online Tuesday) is intriguing, Disney CEO Bob Iger made it clear that he believes Marvel made too many shows for Disney+ in the streamer's early years. During an earnings call in May, Iger even said that Marvel would reduce its output to “probably about two TV series a year.” Instead, between its three live-action shows, three animated shows and three feature films (“Captain America: Brave New World,” “Thunderbolts*” and “The Fantastic Four: First Steps”), Marvel has promised to release nine titles. The studio's pandemic-crunched output in 2025, 2021 is more or less the same.
