Summary

  • 2025 will be a huge year for Marvel Studios with multiple new releases in film and TV.
  • New content includes Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man, Captain America: Brave New World, and Daredevil: Born Again.
  • Fans can expect to hear news about upcoming MCU projects in 2025.

As a long-time Marvel fan who has followed the cinematic universe since its inception, I must say that the 2025 lineup looks absolutely breathtaking! It seems that Marvel Studios is pulling out all the stops, with a diverse range of projects that cater to every corner of the MCU. From live-action to animation, from established characters to newcomers, this slate has something for everyone.

Personally, I’m particularly excited about “Wonder Man,” as it promises a fresh take on the superhero genre with its comedic twist. As someone who grew up watching sitcoms like “Brooklyn Nine-Nine” and “The Office,” I can’t wait to see how Yahya Abdul-Mateen II and Ben Kingsley bring their unique charm to this series.

But let’s not forget about the animated projects, such as “Eyes of Wakanda” and “Marvel Zombies.” As someone who appreciates animation in all its forms, I’m looking forward to seeing how Marvel Animation continues to push the boundaries of storytelling and visual style.

And let’s not forget about the potential surprises that could come from films like Spider-Man 4 and Avengers: Doomsday. With casting announcements and plot details likely to emerge next year, I can hardly contain my excitement for what lies ahead!

Now, if only they could find a way to bring back Agent Coulson… or maybe even introduce the Fantastic Four! (Just kidding, Marvel Studios – please don’t sue me!)

Compared to previous years, 2024 was rather subdued for Marvel Studios. They only put out a single significant blockbuster in cinemas, but it appears that 2025 could be an exceptionally busy year filled with exciting content within the MCU.

In 2024, Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) unveiled just a single movie, but it was an exceptional one indeed – the blockbuster “Deadpool & Wolverine.” This film not only secured a place among the year’s top earners, but also seamlessly integrated Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman’s characters into their fresh cinematic universe. On the television front, Marvel Studios premiered “Echo,” “Agatha All Along,” and concluded the third season of the animated anthology series, “What If…?” As we move forward into 2025, expect a steady stream of new content from Marvel Studios.

What Fans Can Expect From Marvel Studios In 2025

Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man Will Start Off The Year

Kick off the new year with excitement as Marvel Studios launches the fresh animated series “Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man” on Disney+ starting January 29. This unique tale in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) takes place outside the primary storyline, delving into Peter Parker’s high school years and his initial days as Spider-Man. Characters from Marvel Comics such as Nico Minoru, Harry and Norman Osborn, and Otto Octavius will make an appearance in this series, along with many others.

Captain America: Brave New World Kicks Off The MCU’s Cinematic Slate

Kicking off the theatrically-inclined segment of the MCU is the movie titled “Captain America: A New World Order“. This film signifies the debut of Anthony Mackie as the primary character in an MCU film, taking up the mantle of Captain America. The storyline will delve into various unanswered questions such as how the world intends to deal with Tiamut (the Celestial that almost appeared in Eternals) and it will also expose the circumstances surrounding Harrison Ford’s character, Thaddeus Ross, transforming into the Red Hulk.

Daredevil Will Make His Return in March

Following the cancellation of Charlie Cox’s “Daredevil” series on Netflix, the actor is being given another opportunity to portray Matt Murdock/Daredevil in a fresh Disney+ series. This new production brings Cox together once more with his former co-stars Vincent D’Onofrio (Kingpin), Deborah Ann Woll (Karen), and Elden Henson (Foggy). The upcoming series is expected to be darker and extended compared to any other Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) show so far, leaving fans excited about the new direction that Daredevil will take.

The Thunderbolts Arrive In May

2025 will see Marvel unveil three cinematic productions, one of which is the intriguingly titled Thunderbolts*. This film will assemble an unusual ensemble of antiheroes from the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU). The asterisk (*) at the end of the title suggests that there might be a sequel or additional information to come. In Thunderbolts*, characters like Yelena Belova (portrayed by Florence Pugh), Red Guardian (David Harbour), US Agent (Wyatt Russell), Bucky Barnes (Sebastian Stan), Ghost (Hannah John-Kamen), and Taskmaster (Olga Kurylenko) will be gathered by Julia Louis-Dreyfus’ Valentina Allegra Fontaine for a perilous and thrilling mission. Essentially, Thunderbolts* can be seen as the MCU’s equivalent to DC’s Suicide Squad, but comparisons will be intriguing given their differences.

Ironheart Will Debut on Disney+ In June

In 2025, Marvel Studios has big plans for Disney+, with the long-awaited Ironheart series finally making its debut. Dominique Thorne initially appeared as Riri Williams in Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, but will take center stage when she encounters a villain seeking to create conflict between technology and magic in her own series. Anthony Ramos, Alden Ehrenreich, and Lyric Ross are also part of the cast, and Ironheart is slated for release on June 24.

The Fantastic Four: First Steps Will Provide A Blockbuster Summer

2025 brings a monumental occasion for Marvel Studios with the debut of the Fantastic Four in the MCU. The star-studded cast includes Pedro Pascal, Vanessa Kirby, Joseph Quinn, and Ebon Moss-Bachrach portraying the members of Marvel’s original family. In a fascinating blend of past and future, Matt Shakman directs this film set in a retro-futuristic world. The repercussions of this movie could significantly impact the future direction of the MCU, including the forthcoming Avengers movies, making it an unmissable event on July 25 for all fans.

Eyes of Wakanda Is A New Black Panther Series Set For August

2025 sees Marvel Animation busy with a fresh animated series called “Eyes of Wakanda“, slated for release on August 6. This series explores the past of Wakanda by tracking the Hatut Zaraze warriors as they embark on missions to retrieve vibranium artifacts from different parts of the globe. From the previews, it appears that the series is experimenting with a unique animation style which sets it apart in the Marvel Cinematic Universe up till now.

Marvel Zombies Will Be Released In Time For Halloween

A fresh animated series from Marvel, titled Marvel Zombies, is set to premiere next year. This project has been in the works for quite some time. The storyline shares similarities with What If…?. In this new series, several Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) stalwarts will lend their voices to reprise their characters, with some of these characters debuting as undead in the upcoming show. Some of the characters scheduled to make an appearance are Katy (portrayed by Awkwafina), Red Guardian (David Harbour), Shang-Chi (Simu Liu), Kamala Khan (Iman Vellani) and Yelena Belova (Florence Pugh).

Wonder Man Will Round Out The Year in December

The upcoming project from Marvel Studios set for release next year is titled “Wonder Man.” This series has been developed by Destin Daniel Cretton, director of “Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings,” and Andrew Guest, a producer from “Brooklyn Nine-Nine.” The cast includes Yahya Abdul-Mateen II as Simon Williams, who is an actor with superpowers vying for a lead role in a superhero TV series. Ben Kingsley reprises his role as Trevor Slattery, the acting talent within Marvel Universe, adding comedic elements to what appears to be a more humorous offering from the MCU. The “Wonder Man” series is expected to conclude Marvel Studios’ 2025 lineup in December.

Updates From Other Corners of the MCU

2025 promises to be a significant year for Marvel Studios’ content output, with preparations underway for future years as well. Two highly anticipated films – Spider-Man 4 and Avengers: Doomsday – are slated for production in 2025, so we can expect casting news and plot details for both movies to surface next year. Additionally, Marvel Studios has reserved some spots on its cinematic schedule for 2025 and 2026, hinting that new title announcements may be made in the coming months, potentially coinciding with San Diego Comic-Con.
