Marvel's Disney+ 2025 Roadmap Revealed: Spider-Man Animated Series, Daredevil: Born Again and More

Marvel's Disney+ 2025 Roadmap Revealed: Spider-Man Animated Series, Daredevil: Born Again and More

Marvel has released a ton of information about which shows will be coming to Disney+ in 2025, including the release date of Spider-Man prequel Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man and first looks at Daredevil: Born Again, Wonder Man and much more.

A nearly two-minute trailer below races through the six Marvel Cinematic Universe series coming in 2025, starting with Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man on January 29th. Marvel also revealed a first look at the animated series, which is a prequel to the Marvel Cinematic Universe films directed by Tom Holland and focuses on Peter Parker's first year of high school.

Next up is Daredevil: Born Again, and while it already had a March 4th release date, Marvel released the first footage of Charlie Cox's Matt Murdock (Daredevil) alongside other recurring characters like Vincent D'Onofrio's Wilson Fisk (Kingpin) and Jon Bernthal's Frank Castle (Punisher).

Next up is Ironheart on June 24th, another new release date. In this series, the titular hero, played by Dominique Thorne, returns from Black Panther: Wakanda Forever to create the most advanced super suit since Iron Man and face all the challenges and consequences that come with it.

Speaking of Black Panther, Marvel also announced that Eyes of Wakanda will be released on August 6th. Another animated series that focuses on warriors from Wakanda's past who travel the world to recover Vibranium artifacts.

Marvel just announced the release windows for its final two shows. Marvel Zombies will be released in October 2025, while Wonder Man will be released in December. A first look at the latter was also shared, eventually revealing Yahya Abdul-Mateen II in the title role.

It's certainly a busy year for Marvel, as all of these shows are joined by the films Captain America: Brave New World on February 14th, Thunderbolts on May 2nd, and The Fantastic Four: First Steps on July 25th. It will prove to be a very important time for Marvel The MCU, as after just one film and three shows in 2024, Marvel finds out whether fans are open to such an extensive schedule.

Since the end of Phase 3, when the MCU concluded its first main saga with “Avengers: Endgame,” the MCU has been increasingly criticized. The MCU said goodbye to characters like Robert Downey Jr.'s Iron Man and Chris Evans' Captain America and pushed a new wave of heroes to the forefront, including Shang Chi, the Eternals, Ms. Marvel, Moon Knight, and more.

Not only the quality of the content is criticized, but also its quantity. For example, the original Phase 1 of the MCU only lasted 12 hours and 24 minutes, but Phase 4 lasted 54 hours and 40 minutes. And that was before Marvel also made 161 Hours of Netflix series canon.

Fans found it difficult to stay engaged with each individual release. This is proven by “The Marvels,” which was well received by critics and suffered the worst box office results in the history of the MCU. Bob Iger, CEO of Marvel owner Disney, himself admitted that the amount of content had “diluted” the “focus and attention” of fans.
