Marvel fans, get ready—because 2025 is shaping up to be one of the most exciting years the MCU has seen in a while. If you thought Marvel was taking it easy, think again. From zombie outbreaks and interdimensional catastrophes to a much-needed Fantastic Four reboot, there’s lots to get excited about. Whether day one subscriber or simply a fan of a fine superhero story, this year’s lineup has something for everyone. Have a look at the ten Marvel offerings that you’ll want to keep on your radar in 2025, starting with binge-worthy shows and ending with big-screen busters.
9. Wonder Man (Disney+, December 2025)
One of the most underrated characters in Marvel is finally getting its moment in the sun. Wonder Man stars Yahya Abdul-Mateen II as Simon Williams—a stuntman-turned-superhero from Hollywood. The show is reported to be half-action, half-satire, and plenty of laughs thanks to Ben Kingsley’s reprisal of Trevor Slattery. Director Destin Daniel Cretton (Shang-Chi fame) is at the helm for the initial episodes, so keep an eye out for fine direction. It’s wrapping up the year, and initial rumblings suggest it might have a larger role to play in the MCU in the future.
8. Marvel Zombies (Disney+, October 2025)
Marvel is going all out horror just before Halloween with Marvel Zombies, a dark, bloody animated show that’s strictly not for children. With a TV-MA rating and only a four-episode commitment, this one’s going in full-throttle apocalypse mode. Legendary heroes like Cap and Scarlet Witch turn into mind-hungry monsters, and newbies Yelena and Kate Bishop try to make sense of the chaos. Executive producer Bryan Andrews is in charge, and initial teasers indicate plenty of dark humor and stylish bloodshed. This could be Marvel’s boldest animated step ever taken.
7. Eyes of Wakanda (Disney+, August 2025)
If you’ve ever wanted more of Wakanda’s rich, untold history, Eyes of Wakanda is the show for you. This animated anthology takes us on a journey through time, following Wakandan warriors tasked with recovering vibranium artifacts from across the globe. Releasing on August 6, it expands the Black Panther world in a fresh and meaningful way. It’s shaping up to be both a sight to behold and an expansion of a fan-favorite aspect of the MCU.
6. Ironheart (Disney+, June 2025)
Riri Williams returns in her own series after making waves in Black Panther: Wakanda Forever. Ironheart picks up where she left off, becoming a high-tech hero in her own right while still struggling to be a teen genius. Dominique Thorne stars and will be facing off against Parker Robbins—aka The Hood—played by Anthony Ramos. This one blends science and magic, and it should be an action-packed, high-energy ride. Premieres June 24.
5. Daredevil: Born Again (Disney+, March 2025)
Matt Murdock is back—and so are his pals. Daredevil: Born Again brings back Charlie Cox and Vincent D’Onofrio as Daredevil and Kingpin. But it’s not a reboot. It’s an outright continuation that’s already generating serious buzz. With a hard-boiled tone and rich character drama, the show premiered in March and hit the ground running. There is already a second season in development, so naturally, fans are loving this edgier return to the MCU’s street-level roots.
4. Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man (Disney+, January 2025)
The year began with a fresh spin on everyone’s beloved wall-crawler. Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man is an animated re-imagining of Peter Parker’s formative years, and while initially it was meant to serve as a bridge to the connection with Tom Holland’s Spidey, it has transformed into a unique take of its own. The 2-D aesthetic gives it a boost, and early episodes were praised for capturing the heart of a coming-of-age superhero tale. It’s funny, it’s emotional, and it’s brimming with that classic Spider-Man magic.
3. Thunderbolts (Movie, May 2025)
Yes, the asterisk does appear in the title, and no one really has any idea why. But what we do know is that Thunderbolts is assembling a misfit team of anti-heroes and morally complex characters on one wild mission. Florence Pugh’s Yelena, Sebastian Stan’s Bucky, and Wyatt Russell’s U.S. Agent are all back, along with Julia Louis-Dreyfus as Valentina Allegra de Fontaine. And Harrison Ford appears as Red Hulk. Early looks seen at SDCC left fans stoked, and the hyperactive pace of the film could make it a sleeper hit.
2. Captain America: Brave New World (Film, February 2025)
Sam Wilson is officially the new Captain America, and Brave New World is his standalone film in the character. This movie’s not just about getting past the shield—it’s about redefining what leadership looks like. With returning villain The Leader (Tim Blake Nelson), Harrison Ford, and Giancarlo Esposito joining the battle, this film is full of star power to the max. It lands in February and sets up great things in the MCU in the future. One to watch.
1. The Fantastic Four: First Steps (Movie, July 2025)
MCU’s long-awaited Fantastic Four movie is finally on the way, and the countdown begins. Hip, retro-futuristically directed like they did in the 1960s, this reboot stars Pedro Pascal, Vanessa Kirby, Joseph Quinn, and Ebon Moss-Bachrach as Marvel’s First Family. Julia Garner as Silver Surfer and Ralph Ineson as Galactus add to the buzz. And, yes, there are rumors of a Robert Downey Jr. cameo. Directed by Matt Shakman, this film is kicking off Phase 6 in style and sentiment.
Larger than a year of plenty of content, 2025 is a year of reinvention for the Multiverse Saga. All the series and films are playing a role in setting up the stage for Avengers: Doomsday and the eagerly awaited Secret Wars. It’s a year of come-to-folks, takes, and massive revelations. Whether you’re a fan of urban-level superheroes like Daredevil or cosmic adventures with the Fantastic Four, there’s never been a better time to be a Marvel fan. The wait for the next big crossover starts here.
