All 13 Marvel TV Shows Releasing After Black Widow

Here’s every Marvel TV show set to release on Disney+ after Black Widow. The Marvel Cinematic Universe has seen an incredible rise since its beginning in 2008. Well over 20 movies and billions of dollars later, there’s no sign of things slowing down. Indeed, the expansion has only just begun: as well as a raft of movies planned for the next few years, there’ll also be a lot of TV shows coming as well.

Marvel has of course dabbled in TV before, but with mixed results. Netflix’s Defenders experiment mostly failed, despite some strong individual seasons. None of those shows appear to be considered part of the MCU canon anymore though, and what matters now is the output on Disney+, which comes under the purview of Marvel Studios and Kevin Feige. There, things are already faring better.

So far, Marvel has released Loki. While the quality of each has fluctuated, they’ve all been buzzy hits that prove Disney+’s model is working. The release of Black Widow turns attention back to the cinematic branch of the MCU for the first time since 2019, but the future remains on the small screen just as much as it is the big one.

What If…?

Marvel has already started to explore the What If...? character is voiced by their MCU actor, and the show releases on Disney+ on August 11, 2021. The first season will consist of 10 episodes, with season 2 already in development.

Hawkeye

Warning: This section contains SPOILERS for Black Widow.

Much of the MCU's Phase 4 is about ing the torch and new heroes taking up the mantle, and that will be particularly evident in Hawkeye. The TV show will see Jeremy Renner return as Clint Barton, this time to team-up with and serve as a mentor to Kate Bishop, his MCU replacement, who'll be played by Hailee Steinfeld. Hawkeye's cast also includes Vera Farmiga as Eleanor Bishop, Kate's mother; Tony Dalton as Jack Duquesne, aka, Swordsman, Clint's former mentor; and Alaqua Cox as Maya Lopez, aka Echo, a hero who can copy other's movements.

The show looks to be giving a more comic-accurate take on the character, including a more traditional purple costume for him to wear, while it's also been confirmed that Clint will be deaf in Hawkeye. Further plot details are under wraps, but most intriguingly it will include Yelena Belova (Florence Pugh), building on Black Widow's post-credits scene, which sees Hawkeye set up as her next target by Contessa Valentina Allegra de Fontaine (Julia-Louis Dreyfus). Hawkeye doesn't yet have a confirmed release date, but filming wrapped in April 2021 and it will arrive on Disney+ later in the year.

Ms. Marvel

First there was Captain Marvel, and now there's Ms. Marvel, the teenage superhero who takes her inspiration from Carol Danvers. Ms. Marvel, real name Kamala Khan, was only introduced to Marvel Comics in the last decade, but has already become a popular figure, something that should continue in her own TV show. In the comics, Kamala has shapeshifting powers, which will be translated to the Disney+ series in some way, though it's unclear if the origin of them will be changed (there, Ms. Marvel is an Inhuman, getting powers after being exposed to the Terrigen Mists, a storyline Marvel may wish to avoid after past Inhuman failures).

That aside, this Ms. Marvel doesn't have a firm release date yet, but the show is expected to release on Disney+ before the end of 2021 and contain six episodes.

Moon Knight

Moon Knight is a character many Marvel fans have long wanted to come to the MCU, and that's finally going to happen in 2022. Disney+'s Moon Knight having some incredible and brutal action sequences and fight scenes. Moon Knight's cast also includes Ethan Hawke in an as-yet unknown role (though he's expected to play the villain), along with May Calamawy. Moon Knight is slated for release on Disney+ in 2022, and given its production timeline it will likely come earlier in the year. Like many other shows, it's expected to have six episodes.

She-Hulk

Complicated rights issues prevented Hulk from ever getting his own solo movie in the MCU, but the character's cousin will be getting an individual outing. Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings.

She-Hulk's main cast is rounded out by Ginger Gonzaga as a friend of Jennifer's, Renée Elise Goldsberry as a character called Amelia, and Jameela Jamil as villain Titania, a common foe of Jennifer from the comics. She-Hulk will offer up a blend of legal drama and comedy, with the character confirmed to break the fourth wall in the show, giving it a different dimension to most of Marvel's other series. Like Moon Knight, She-Hulk started filming in April 2021, so can be expected to release on Disney+ in the first half of 2022.

I Am Groot / The Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special

Disney+ will be getting a double-dose of I Am Groot, a series of shorts following its titular tiny tree, giving Disney+ a new rival to Baby Yoda. Both Guardians projects are expected to release in 2022, with the Holiday Special around Christmastime.

Secret Invasion

When the Skrulls were introduced in Captain Marvel, they weren't the Earth-infiltrating bad guys of the comics. It was a smart twist, but with multiple Marvel heroes had been Skrulls; Secret Invasion may not quite be on the same scale, but it should nonetheless pack a few key surprises and reveal many high-ranking Earthlings as aliens.

Leading the way in Secret Invasion's cast is Samuel L. Jackson as Nick Fury, building on his mission in space in Secret Invasion will release on Disney+ sometime in 2022, with filming set to begin in August 2021, and is expected to consist of six episodes.

Ironheart

Iron Man may be dead in the MCU, but his legacy lives on - and that's particularly clear in Marvel's Disney+ shows, two of which are dealing with the life and loss of Tony Stark. The first is Ironheart will be a character who draws inspiration from Iron Man and carries on that legacy as a de facto replacement, but who stands as a unique character in her own right. Writing for Ironheart, which will have six episodes, started in May 2021, suggesting a likely production start date of late-2021 or early-2022. That means Ironheart could release on Disney+ later in 2022.

Armor Wars

The second Disney+ show to deal with Iron Man's legacy is The Falcon and the Winter Soldier's ending. Armor Wars will begin filming later in 2021, setting up a likely 2022 release on Disney+.

Untitled Wakanda Show

2018's Wakanda spinoff likely wouldn't arrive until 2023 at the earliest.

Untitled Okoye Show

Alongside the Wakanda spinoff, Marvel is reportedly also developing a show exploring the origins of Okoye, the leader of the Dora Milaje. Again, few details are known about this one, but it would likely feature a heavy presence from the Wakanda warriors. Danai Gurira would presumably return for the show, timeline and schedule permitting, and as one of the key characters in the Black Panther franchise then it makes sense to explore more of her story, which could also introduce origins for many other important players as well.

Untitled Echo Show

Ronin in Avengers Endgame and Echo in Marvel Comics

A spinoff of a show yet to even release, Marvel's Echo show will feature the character after their introduction in Hawkeye. Few details are known, but Alaqua Cox will return to play Maya Lopez/Echo, a deaf, Native American and Latina superhero who is an incredibly skilled martial artist, with a photogenic memory that allows her to perfectly mimic her opponent's moves. Jeremy Renner is expected to return in some capacity as Clint Barton, while Zahn McClarnon will play Maya's father, William. Given Hawkeye itself hasn't released, then Echo likely won't hit Disney+ until 2023.

As well as its plethora of TV shows, there are also a lot of MCU movies releasing after Black Widow. The 2021 slate is the MCU's biggest yet, consisting of four theatrical releases, which aside from Widow include Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings (September 3), Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania (February 17) and Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 (May 5) - while movies on Fantastic Four and Blade are also in the works, though without release dates as things stand.
