Disney is putting a lot of investment into the future of its streaming service, as which was seen during Disney+ Day.
The company made a plethora of big announcements from Star Wars to Pixar to revamps of beloved Disney classics. However, the final handful of announcements all revolved around upcoming Marvel TV shows. While many of the announcements were of shows announced in 2020, we did get to see some actual footage from upcoming shows like Ms. Marvel, She-Hulk, and Moon Knight–and the hype is real. Sadly, you can only watch the footage if you have a Disney+ account, as it is locked away on the streaming service. Luckily, we kept track of all the announcements for Marvel during Disney+ Day. Additionally, some more information was revealed in a press release about many of the shows, which is also gathered below.
