Marvel has been dominating the entertainment industry for over a decade now with its massive success in both the film and television universes. With the launch of Disney+, Marvel has expanded its reach to streaming services, offering fans a chance to delve deeper into the world of Marvel with limited series that focus on individual characters. As fans eagerly await the next series from Marvel, let’s take a look at what’s in store for them on Disney+.
The next Marvel series on Disney+ is “Loki,” set to premiere on June 9, 2021. Tom Hiddleston reprises his role as the God of Mischief, Loki, after his death in “Avengers: Infinity War” and subsequent escape in “Avengers: Endgame.” The series follows Loki as he navigates through time and space, creating chaos wherever he goes. It will explore the character’s motivations and personality in more depth than ever before.
Following “Loki,” fans can expect “What If…?” in summer 2021. This animated series presents alternate scenarios in the Marvel Universe, exploring how events would unfold if key moments played out differently. The show features the voices of many actors from the Marvel Cinematic Universe, including Chadwick Boseman as T’Challa/Black Panther, who recorded his lines before his untimely passing.
Later in the year, “Hawkeye” is set to debut in late 2021. The series focuses on Clint Barton, played by Jeremy Renner, as he passes on the mantle of Hawkeye to a new character, Kate Bishop, played by Hailee Steinfeld. The show is inspired by the comic book run by writer Matt Fraction and artist David Aja, and it promises to be an action-packed adventure with plenty of humor and heart.
In 2022, Marvel will release “Ms. Marvel,” a series about a Pakistani-American teenager named Kamala Khan, who gains shape-shifting abilities and becomes the hero Ms. Marvel. The show promises to be a coming-of-age story that explores themes of identity and belonging, with newcomer Iman Vellani in the lead role.
Also set to premiere in 2022 is “Moon Knight,” which follows the story of Marc Spector, a former mercenary who becomes the avatar of the Egyptian moon god, Khonshu. The show promises to be a darker, grittier entry in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, with Oscar Isaac in the lead role.
Finally, “She-Hulk” is set to premiere in 2022 as well. The show follows Jennifer Walters, a lawyer who gains the powers of the Hulk after receiving a blood transfusion from her cousin, Bruce Banner. The series is expected to blend legal drama with superhero action and humor, with Tatiana Maslany in the lead role.
Overall, Marvel fans have plenty to look forward to on Disney+. With a mix of established and new characters, different genres, and diverse casting, Marvel is expanding its universe in exciting and innovative ways. “Loki” may be the next series on the docket, but there is much more in store for fans of the Marvel Cinematic Universe on Disney+.
