The BIGGEST Reveals From Disney+ Day 2021
There’s A LOT to get excited for
Disney+ Day 2021 gave us a long list of reveals and details about upcoming shows and films to be viewed on the streaming service in the future.
Of all that news, what were the biggest pieces to take away? Take a look below.
Three new MCU shows
The event announced a trio of new shows that are in development for the streaming service. The first being Spider-Man: Freshman Year. This show will be animated and show us the origins of Tom Holland’s Peter Parker and tap into the untold story of how he became the webslinger. It is currently unknown if the title character will still be voiced by Holland whilst Jeff Trammel will serve as executive producer and head writer.
Next up is Agatha: House of Harkness. Little is known about the series’ storyline, but it will indeed star Katherine Hahn as her character from WandaVision, with Jen Schaefer serving as executive producer and head writer.
The final of the three is Marvel Zombies. Also animated, this show will show a new side of the Marvel Universe and feature a new group of heroes fighting off a building zombie apocalypse. Nothing is known regarding cast but Bryan Andrews will serve as director on the show.
First glimpse at Secret Invasion
We didn’t get much new information from what we already know about Marvel Studios’ take on this classic comic book storyline. However, we did get our first official image.
It shows none other than Samuel L. Jackson’s Nick Fury (apparently), sporting a long, greying beard and no eye patch. Intriguing, right?
