Have you ever wondered what would have happened if Peggy Carter became Captain America instead of Steve Rogers? Or what if Yondu and the Ravagers picked up a young T’Challa instead of Peter Quill? Well, in the upcoming Disney+ series “What If…?” we’ll get to explore these scenarios and many more!
At the Disney Investor Day 2020 event, Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige shared an exclusive first look at the new animated series, coming to Disney+ in Summer 2021.
Alright Mandalorian fans! Good news coming out of the Star Wars universe as the release date for The Mandalorian Season 3 has been revealed. Of course, we’ll be sure to mark our calendars as we suspect Season 3 will be just as epic as Seasons 1 and 2.
As shared by ComicBook.com: “The Mandalorian will be back for season 3 on Disney+ in 2021. While much of today’s Investor Day from The Walt Disney Company saw the announcements of all-new titles for the galaxy far, far away, the event also saw the confirmation that Season Three of The Mandalorian is slated to hit Disney+ in time for Christmas next year. It’s unclear if this means we can expect the third season to premiere on December 25, 2021, or if it merely means the third season will be debuting in the time around that holiday.”
If you thought the MCU was big already, it’s about to get a lot bigger…
In addition to the new footage shown from Marvel Studios Disney+ shows like “The Falcon and the Winter Soldier”, “WandaVision”, “Loki” and “What If…?”, Kevin Feige also teased several brand-new shows and reminded us of a few previously-announced shows, too. Here’s the rundown:
“Hawkeye” launches on Disney+ in late 2021. The series stars Jeremy Renner, Vera Farmiga, Fra Fee, Alaqua Cox, and Feige finally confirmed Hailey Steinfeld as Kate Bishop. Episodes will be directed by Rhys Thomas and Bert & Bertie.
“She Hulk” is being directed by Kat Coiro and Anu Valia. She-Hulk, a.k.a. Jennifer Walters, is being played by Tatiana Maslany. Big news on this one is the return of Tim Roth as Emil Blonsky a.k.a. the Abomination (from 2008’s “The Incredible Hulk”) as well as the jolly green giant himself, Mark Ruffalo. No release date has been announced.
“Moon Knight” was described by Feige as an “Action/Adventure, Indiana Jones type story, coming to life as a Disney+ series, directed by Mohamed Diab”. Speaking of the title character, Feige said, “Moon Knight is a complex vigilante who suffers from Dissociative Identity Disorder and these multiple identities that live inside him are very distinct characters in the series”. No release date has been announced.
“Secret Invasion” stars Samuel L. Jackson as Nick Fury and Ben Mendelsohn as Talos. Feige’s brief description of the show: “It’s about a sect of Skrulls who have infiltrated every level of life on Earth”. No release date was announced.

No release date was announced. However, Feige did confirm that “Ironheart” and “Secret Invasion” would “tie directly into MCU feature films”.
Armor Wars stars Don Cheadle as Lt. Col James Rhodes. The plot of the show was described by Feige as “Tony Stark’s worst fear coming true. It’s what happens when his tech falls into the wrong hands”. The release date was… you guessed it, not announced.
Finally, Feige announced “I am Groot”, a series of shorts that explore Baby Groot’s adventures encountering “several new and unusual characters”.
During the Lucasfilm portion of the Disney Investor Day 2020 event today, Kathleen Kennedy introduced fans to a new “Star Wars” event series centered around Lando Calrissian.
The new series “Lando” is being developed by Justin Simien and will stream exclusively on Disney+.
Kathleen Kennedy, President of Lucasfilm, announced two brand-new “Star Wars” theatrical films at the recent Disney Investor Day 2020 event.
“Star Wars: Rogue Squadron” is being directed by Patty Jenkins (Wonder Woman films). The film is slated for a Christmas 2023 release. Describing the film, Kathleen Kennedy stated:
“This story will introduce a new generation of starfighter pilots as they earn their wings and risk their lives in a boundary-pushing, high-speed thrill-ride. The legend of Rogue Squadron has been long beloved by Star Wars fans and will move us into a future era of the Galaxy. “
Taika Waititi (Thor: Ragnarok, The Mandalorian) is set to helm a currently untitled Star Wars film. Though no specifics were provided, Kennedy said of Waititi and the film:
“Taika’s approach to Star Wars will be fresh, unexpected and unique. His enormous talent and sense of humor will ensure that audiences are in for an unforgettable ride.”
