Heading into the presentation, the big hope by fans was that we might not only learn the premiere timelines for previously confirmed projects such as Moon Knight, She-Hulk, and Loki but also receive new information on casting and other projects in development.

Fortunately, Marvel went above and beyond with a variety of casting

Disney announces plans to roll out roughly 10 Marvel Disney+ series

While a timeline is unclear, Disney has announced that roughly 10 Marvel series are in development at Disney Plus. The strategic move will further build upon the service’s library and success of the franchise’s cinematic universe.

While Loki was originally announced at the same time as WandaVision and Falcon and the Winter Soldier, little had been revealed about the Tom Hiddleston-led series. That all changed during the Disney Investor Day presentation when Disney confirmed the series will be dropping in May 2021.

In addition to confirming the show’s release date, Disney revealed the first trailer for the series which is described as a “crime-thriller.”

What If…? coming in Summer 2021

Summer 2021 is shaping up to be quite exciting for Marvel fans! Marvel Studios’ first cinematic connective animated project, What If…? will arrive on Disney+ in Summer 2021 — likely after Loki has wrapped its official run on the service.

Ms. Marvel release date confirmed for late 2021

Newcomer Iman Vellani will step into the shoes of Kamala Kahn when Ms. Marvel comes to Disney+ in late 2021. An official premiere date is to be announced, but it seems likely we could be looking at a premiere date sometime between September and November.

New Marvel series in development at Disney+

After sharing a wave of exciting announcements about its previously announced series, Marvel confirmed several new Disney+ series in development as part of the upcoming chapter of the MCU.

When Doctor Strange in The Multiverse of Madness opens in theaters on March 25, 2022, it will do so with help from an all-star level cast including Benedict Cumberbatch, Elizabeth Olsen, Benedict Wong, Rachel McAdams, Chiwetel Ejiofor, & Xochitl Gomez.

With director Nia DaCosta at its helm, Captain Marvel 2 will see Brie Larson returning as Carol Danvers who will be joined by Ms. Marvel‘s Iman Vellani and WandaVision‘s Teyonah Parris.

Oscar-winner Christian Bale will officially make his MCU debut as part of the cast of Thor Love and Thunder, appearing as the film’s villain Gorr the God Butcher.

Will Marvel recast Black Panther for Black Panther 2?

One of the major burning questions heading into the event was the future of the Black Panther franchise in wake of Chadwick Boseman’s unexpected passing. While recasting might seem like a reasonable option, Marvel has confirmed they will not recast the role of Black Panther in Black Panther 2 which will open in theaters on July 8, 2022.

Instead, Marvel will “explore the world of Wakanda and rich characters introduced in the first film.”
