Disney+ Day has lived up to expectations, revealing major announcements from the now 2-year old streaming service, which was launched on November 12, 2019. Those reveals included a lot of Marvel-related content, including plenty of titles that have been rumored but are now official. Here’s a brief tour of what Disney+ has revealed today about their Marvel content.
X-Men ’97 (due in 2023): The beloved animated X-Men series from the mid-90s is being revived by Disney+, which is big news for everyone who loved this show, which ran from 1992 to 1997. Beau DeMayo (The Witcher) will be the series’ head writer.
Spider-Man: Freshman Year: Another animated series that will explore Peter Parker’s early years.
