Marvel Studios is shaking things up with its Disney+ lineup, but fans can still expect two exciting MCU shows to hit the streaming platform. Despite earlier concerns about their fate, Wonder Man and Ironheart are confirmed to be moving forward, much to the delight of fans eagerly awaiting their release.
Brad Winderbaum, Marvel Studios’ Head of Streaming, Television, and Animation, recently shared updates on these two projects. Speaking with Agents of Fandom, Winderbaum revealed that both shows are currently in the editing phase and promised that they would be “spectacular” and “amazing.” He also hinted at the unique and exciting corners of the Marvel Universe that these shows will explore.
“Wonder Man,” starring Yahya Abdul-Mateen II as Simon Williams, follows the story of an actor who gains superpowers. The series, helmed by director Destin Daniel-Cretton, promises a satirical take on Hollywood, with Ben Kingsley’s Trevor Slattery making a return. Meanwhile, “Ironheart” features Dominique Thorne reprising her role as Riri Williams, offering a deeper dive into her character’s journey, exploring the clash between technology and magic.
While the exact release dates for these shows remain unconfirmed, fans can expect “Ironheart” to debut first, potentially in 2025, with “Wonder Man” following afterward. Both shows are set to bring fresh perspectives and exciting new narratives to the ever-expanding Marvel Cinematic Universe, making them must-watch additions to the MCU lineup on Disney+.
