With Avengers: Doomsday set to arrive in 2026, 2025 will be a crucial year for the MCU, delivering nine movies and Disney+ shows.
From the long-awaited return of Daredevil to the debut of the MCU’s Fantastic Four, here’s how these releases stack up in excitement level.
9. Eyes of Wakanda (August 6)
This animated Disney+ series explores Wakandan warriors across history retrieving vibranium artifacts. While visually promising, its lack of connection to the main MCU and a one-off story make it a lower priority for fans.
8. Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man (January 29 – Currently Airing)
Originally meant to explore Tom Holland’s Spider-Man origins, this animated series now exists in a separate universe where Peter Parker is mentored by Norman Osborn instead of Tony Stark. While it brings in Doc Ock, Scorpion, and Daredevil, its animation style and kid-friendly tone have left fans divided.
7. Marvel Zombies (October 3)
The undead world first seen in What If…? gets a dedicated R-rated animated series, featuring heroes like Blade, Ironheart, and Shang-Chi fighting against a zombie apocalypse. With only four episodes, some worry it won’t live up to its potential.
6. Wonder Man (December)
Starring Yahya Abdul-Mateen II, this live-action comedy series follows actor-turned-superhero Simon Williams. While it won’t tie directly into the broader MCU, Ben Kingsley’s return as Trevor Slattery adds intrigue.
5. Ironheart (June 24)
Following her debut in Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, Riri Williams (Dominique Thorne) steps into the spotlight in a Disney+ crime drama. With Anthony Ramos playing The Hood and rumors of Sacha Baron Cohen appearing as Mephisto, this could be a surprising hit.
4. Thunderbolts (May 2)
After years without a major team-up, Thunderbolts brings together characters like Yelena Belova, Winter Soldier, Red Guardian, and U.S. Agent. While the lineup isn’t as popular as the Avengers, the addition of Lewis Pullman’s Sentry has fans intrigued.
3. Captain America: Brave New World (February 14)
Anthony Mackie takes center stage as the new Captain America, but the real hype comes from Harrison Ford’s MCU debut as Red Hulk. However, reports of major reshoots and disappointing test screenings have raised concerns.
2. Daredevil: Born Again (March 4)
Daredevil is officially MCU canon, and Born Again is no longer a soft reboot—it’s essentially Season 4 of the beloved Netflix series. With Charlie Cox, Vincent D’Onofrio, and Jon Bernthal back, expectations are sky-high.
1. The Fantastic Four: First Steps (July 25)
Marvel’s First Family finally joins the MCU, led by Pedro Pascal, Vanessa Kirby, Joseph Quinn, and Ebon Moss-Bachrach. Featuring a retro-futuristic alternate Earth, Galactus, and Silver Surfer, this movie could change the MCU forever.
