Marvel Studios arrived at New York Comic Con without any movies, but made up for it with some information about its upcoming TV lineup for Disney+.
During its panel focused on TV and animation, the company revealed some release windows for its 2026 programs. Wonder Man arrives on January 27th, and after that it’s Daredevil: Born Again. Season two will air in March and will see Matt Murdock reunite with Krysten Ritter’s tough detective Jessica Jones to save New York from the clutches of Mayor Fisk. The trailer for the season hasn’t been released yet, but those in attendance said it features the two heroes in action, along with glimpses of Fisk, Bullseye and Karen.
In summer, X-Men ’97 will return for its second season. The panel presented a look at Apocalypse, who will play a major role in the events of the season, as the heroes will fight against him in the present day and encounter him as En Sabah Nur in Ancient Egypt. But the fun doesn’t stop there: X-Men’s already renewed for the third season, which will arrive later.
Your friendly neighborhood Spider-Man will be Marvel’s big fall show, and its next season will bring Venom into the fray. (Not surprising, since he was teased in the first season.) Daredevil will also return, this time wearing his classic red costume, and Gwen Stacy will appear in some sort of capacity.
Last but not least, Vision Mission, which Marvel called the closest to the trilogy composed by WandaVision and Agatha all the time. In addition to the show’s logo, the panel brought out star Paul Bettany to reveal some story details, namely that White Vision is struggling to understand what his Red counterpart did to him in WandaVision. As a result, he’s seeing digital or robotic characters like Ultron (James Spader), FRIDAY (Orla Brady), and even Dum-E (Henry Lewis) in human forms. Vision and Wanda’s son Tommy, aka Speedball, will also appear, played by Ruaridh Mollica (The franchise). This program has a vacant window for 2026, so it could be the last program of the year.
So to recap: Wonder Man on January 27th, Daredevil: Born Again in March, X-Men ’97 in summer, Your friendly neighborhood Spider-Man for autumn and Vision Mission probably catches the winter. It will be a busy year.
