Marvel has released a ton of information on what shows it has coming to Disney+ in 2025, including the release date for Spider-Man prequel Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man and first looks at Daredevil: Born Again, Wonder Man, and much more.
A near-two minute trailer, below, sped through the six Marvel Cinematic Universe series coming in 2025, beginning with Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man on January 29. Marvel also revealed a first look at the animated series, which is a prequel to the Tom Holland movies focusing on Peter Parker's first year in high school.
Next up is Daredevil: Born Again, and though it already had a March 4 release date, Marvel shared the first footage of Charlie Cox's Matt Murdock (Daredevil) interacting with other returning characters such as Vincent D'Onofrio's Wilson Fisk (Kingpin) and Jon Bernthal's Frank Castle (Punisher).
Next comes Ironheart on June 24, another new release date. This series sees the titular hero, played by Dominique Thorne, return from Black Panther: Wakanda Forever to create the most advanced super suit since Iron Man, and deal with all the challenges and consequences that come alongside.
Speaking of Black Panther, Marvel also announced Eyes of Wakanda arrives August 6. Another animated series, this one focuses on warriors from Wakanda's past traveling the world to recover vibranium artifacts.
Marvel just announced release windows for its last two shows. Marvel Zombies comes in October 2025 while Wonder Man comes in December. A first look of the latter was shared too, finally revealing Yahya Abdul-Mateen II in the titular role.
It's certainly a busy year for Marvel, with all these shows being joined by films Captain America: Brave New World on February 14, Thunderbolts on May 2, and The Fantastic Four: First Steps on July 25. It will prove a very important time for the MCU as Marvel finds out if fans are open to such a heavy schedule, after just one film and three shows in 2024.
The MCU has faced increased criticism since the end of Phase 3, when it wrapped up its first main saga with Avengers: Endgame. Saying goodbye to characters like Robert Downey Jr.'s Iron Man and Chris Evans' Captain America, the MCU pushed a new wave of heroes including Shang Chi, the Eternals, Ms. Marvel, Moon Knight, and more to the forefront.
It's not just the quality of content being criticised, but the quantity. The original Phase 1 of the MCU lasted just 12 hours and 24 minutes, for example, but Phase 4 lasted 54 hours and 40 minutes. And that's before Marvel made 161 hours of Netflix shows canon too.
Fans have been struggling to stay engaged with each and every release, evidenced by The Marvels, which was well received by critics, enduring the worst box office results in MCU history. CEO of Marvel owner Disney Bob Iger himself admitted the volume of content has "diluted" the "focus and attention" of fans.
