The Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special recently concluded Phase 4 and fans are now ready for Marvel Phases 5 and 6 to arrive from 2023 onwards. Marvel’s Phase 4 ran for two years and produced 17 projects (18 if Marvel Legends counted). Now there are tons of movies, Disney+ shows (live-action and animated), and special Marvel Phase 5 and 6 presentations lined up all the way through 2026.
Of those, there are around 14 live-action series and 10 of them have been confirmed. Here we take a look at all the upcoming Disney+ series fans can look forward to.
Marvel phase 5
1) Secret invasion
To begin Marvel Phase 5 on the Disney+ front, Nick Fury returns to Earth in Secret Invasion. He will reunite with Talos and Maria Hill to uncover an invasion by the evil Skrulls that have infiltrated the planet.
Joining them will be Rhodey and newcomers Olivia Colman as Special Agent Sonya Falswroth, Kingsley Ben-Adir as the evil Skrull Gravic, and Emilia Clarke as Abigail Brand. Secret Invasion is expected to have a release in the spring of 2023.
2) Echo
Alaqua Cox returns as Maya Lopez in her own solo series where she will take on Vincent D’Onofrio’s Kingpin. Most comic book readers know that Wilson Fisk clearly survived Hawkeyehis finale, and will now seek revenge against Maya. But once again, the most exciting factor in this series may turn out to be Charlie Cox’s Daredevil.
Echo should follow Secret Invasion arriving in the first half of 2023.
3) Loki season 2
Loki ended on a cliffhanger by revealing how Kang took over TVA and turned him into a mere analyst. So once again, Loki will team up with Mobius to track down Sylvie, and finally confront the new Kang variant in charge. A premiere date has yet to be confirmed, but fans are expecting Loki Season 2 will be released in the summer of 2023.
4) Ironheart
After Loki Season 2, Ironheart will likely be the last Marvel Phase 5 series coming to Disney+ in fall 2023. Riri Williams got a great introduction in Wakanda forever. But while she didn’t get to keep her Vibranium Ironheart armor, we will witness her in a new Mark 3 Ironheart suit taking on the magic-based villain, The Hood (played by Anthony Ramos).
It is likely that The Hood will get his magical weapon from Sacha Baron Cohen’s Mephisto.
5) Agatha Coven of Chaos
After Wanda’s disappearance in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, Agnes, aka Agatha Harkness, will be released from her mental prison. She will be joined by Aubrey Plaza’s mysterious witch character, and actor Joe Locke, who is rumored to play a teenage Billy Maximoff, aka Wiccan. One could also expect Wanda’s return at some point in the series.
Agatha Coven of Chaos expected to be the first Marvel Phase 5 series in 2023.
6) Daredevil: Born Again
Kevin Feige promised it Daredevil: Born Again would be an 18-episode Disney+ series where Matt Murdock goes up against Wilson Fisk again. It’s a soft reboot of the Marvel Netflix show, but fans can expect a similar cast of actors to reprise their roles as Foggy Nelson, Karen Page and even Ben Poindexter, aka Bullseye.
Since there are 18 episodes to cover, there could be others like Frank Castle, Jessica Jones, Elektra and even Spider-Man (if Marvel is lucky) who could possibly appear.
Potential Marvel Phase 6 Shows
1) Wonder Man
In addition Avengers: Kang Dynasty and Shang Chi 2Destin Daniel Cretton is expected to come with one Wonder Man series. It will reportedly be a satire of today’s Hollywood and will feature Yahya Abdul-Mateen II as Simon Williams aka Wonder Man. Since Wonder Man is connected to both Wanda and Vision, they may return in the series.
The show is expected to focus on Wonder Man and his brother, the Grim Reaper.
2) Okoye (Midnight Angel)
Black Panther: Wakanda Forever just turned Okoye and Aneka into Midnight Angels. In the comics, it’s Ayo and Aneka who form their Midnight Angel team. However, the MCU has obviously changed this to give Okoye his own series under Ryan Coogler’s extensive Disney deal. Kevin Feige hasn’t made an official announcement about the project yet, but it’s reportedly in development.
3) Vision Quest
White Vision’s whereabouts after WandaVision is still a secret. However, recent reports have suggested that Marvel is developing a series called Vision Quest with Paul Bettany. Not much is known about the show for now, but it could possibly be one of Marvel’s Phase 6 projects coming in 2025 or early 2026.
4) Moon Knight Season 2
Marvel has not officially announced one Moon Knight season 2 yet, but Oscar Isaac and director Mohammed Diab teased the second season in mid-2022. Considering how Moon Knight left fans with the setup of Jake Lockley, it is highly likely that Moon Knight season 2 doesn’t hit the screen until late Phase 5 or early Phase 6.
All animated series
Several upcoming Marvel animated shows have been announced for Disney+, and they’re all expected to be part of Marvel’s multiverse. What if…? Season 2 was already confirmed when Season 1 was released, and it’s coming to Disney+ around mid-2023.
Spider-Man: Freshman Year is yet another multiverse series to arrive, and it will be followed by Marvel zombiesand a continuation of the original X men show with X-Men ’97.
Other rumored shows
Ryan Coogler’s 5-year Disney deal is also said to include another Wakanda-based series in addition to Okoye’s project. DaredevilThe new season is rumored to set up a solo Punisher series. Shang-Chi also left us with a tease of The Ten Rings. So, a series based on that could also be set to appear in Phase 6. Eventually, everyone will have a Young Avengers project, which could be another Phase 6 series leading into Kang Dynasty.
In addition to the shows, fans can check out all the upcoming Marvel Phase 5 and Phase 6 movies here.
