Marvel’s mega comeback on Disney+: Less isn’t more—It’s just more Marvel!

2025 is poised to be another massive year for Marvel on Disney+, jam-packed with superhero returns, bold new series, and a not-so-gentle reminder that Marvel’s “less is more” era is, apparently, already over. While Disney CEO Bob Iger hinted at scaling back Marvel’s shows earlier this year, Marvel seems to have slipped on its vibranium shoes and sprinted headlong in the opposite direction. Ready to see what’s in store? Let’s break it down.

On January 29, Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man kicks off the lineup, revisiting Peter Parker's first year of web-slinging with a twist. This animated series will see Spidey in the throes of rookie superhero life, now joined by fan-favorite Runaway Nico Minoru and Amadeus Cho, Marvel’s ‘other’ Hulk. Think of it as Peter’s Freshman Year Survival Guide, with Cho and Minoru there to keep him from getting tangled up in his webs. With the classic mix of humor and heart, it’s bound to be a refreshingly nostalgic take on the Spider-verse.

Fans, rejoice! Daredevil: Born Again hits Disney+ on March 4, picking up Matt Murdock’s story from where Netflix left off, complete with a full reunion: Charlie Cox’s Matt, Vincent D’Onofrio’s Kingpin, Jon Bernthal’s Punisher, and Wilson Bethel’s Bullseye. This time, Daredevil’s Hell’s Kitchen world feels bigger and badder. The teaser gives us a brief look at the elusive white-masked Muse, adding a new layer of villainy to the already intense lineup. If Hell’s Kitchen is anything like it used to be, Matt’s definitely going to need some new boxing gloves.

Riri Williams, aka Ironheart, finally takes flight on June 24. First introduced in Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, Riri’s solo series promises some classic Marvel moral gray areas. Here’s a taste: in the teaser, Anthony Ramos as Parker Robbins (aka the Hood) gets philosophical about how every iconic success has a morally questionable origin. It’s clear Riri’s journey won’t be a smooth one, but with her engineering prowess and iron will, she’s more than ready to meet Robbins head-on.

"Anyone who’s ever accomplished anything iconic in life has had to do some questionable things to get it done."

August 6 brings us Eyes of Wakanda, a limited four-episode animated series following the Wakandan War Dogs as they retrieve vibranium artifacts throughout history. It's a fitting tribute to the ever-expanding lore of Wakanda, teasing fans with a peek into its often-hidden legacy of strength, tradition, and subtle tech prowess. As one of the quieter entries in the lineup, expect a reflective deep-dive rather than full-on action.

Marvel Zombies lands just in time for Halloween 2025, offering up Marvel’s first-ever TV-MA animated series. Picture this: beloved Avengers turned undead. Expect to see zombified versions of Captain America, Scarlet Witch, Captain Marvel, and Clint Barton making “superhero” sound more like “superghoul.” The rating alone tells us this series isn’t pulling punches—Marvel’s letting its horror muscles flex in full animated, undead glory.

December 2025 wraps things up with a bang as Wonder Man lands with Yahya Abdul-Mateen II stepping into the role of Simon Williams, a character whose superhero journey is now a deliciously meta, Hollywood-centric escapade. Simon’s debut as an actor auditioning to play Wonder Man adds an extra layer of comedy, turning the show into a satirical take on fame and superhero culture itself. Plus, Ben Kingsley’s Trevor Slattery is back for added hilarity—nothing like a washed-up actor and a wannabe superhero sharing the screen.

Rounding out the year on December 22, What If…? returns for its final season, exploring more bizarre multiverse mayhem. Marvel’s sticking to a daily release format, giving fans a burst of alternate-reality binge-watching as a year-end gift. From Spider-Man going rogue to Hulk meeting his match, it’s Marvel’s way of asking, “Didn’t see that coming, did you?”

2025 might be packed, but if this new sizzle reel is anything to go by, Marvel’s proving it can still innovate with fresh takes, nostalgia, and genre twists.
