Moon Knight (2022)
Here we are told the story of a museum worker who struggles with dissociative identity disorder and receives the powers of an Egyptian moon god. However, unlike other characters who become superheroes through a drastic transformation, Moon Knight is not fully aware of the change when it happens. In 'Moon Knight,' there is adventure and action. Still, there are moments of psychological horror and the appearance of creatures, entities, and elements of other types of cinema that are not always common in the UCM.
Duration: 6 episodes of 50 minutes.
Ms. Marvel (2022)
Kamala Khan is a 16-year-old Pakistani-born teenager growing up in Jersey City. Kamala is a great student, an avid gamer, and a voracious fanfic writer. She loves superheroes, particularly Captain Marvel. However, Kamala struggles to fit in at home and school. But one night, when a strange fog takes over her city, Kamala Khan asks to become a superhero just like Captain Marvel, and she succeeds! Kamala gets incredible powers like changing her size and stretching her body as much as chewing gum. The most exciting thing about this Marvel series is precisely its protagonist: Kamala is the first Muslim superheroine. Disobedient and rebellious, Kamala defies her family and religious traditions while juggling so that no one discovers her secret identity.
Duration: 6 episodes of 48 minutes.
She-Hulk: Attorney at Law (2022)
The plot will focus primarily on She-Hulk, a lawyer who happens to be a superhero with the same abilities as the Incredible Hulk. She-Hulk tries to balance her life as a lawyer and a superhero. But who is She-hulk? Jennifer Walters made her first appearance in Marvel comics in 1980. Her story begins with a terrible accident that lands her in the hospital and forces her to undergo an operation that forever changes her life. Seeing the seriousness of her cousin's condition, Dr. Bruce Banner, known as the Incredible Hulk, decides to donate his blood to give Walters a transfusion and save her life. It is precisely that exchange that would give her the powers of She-Hulk. Unlike her cousin, She-Hulk does not need to get angry to access her abilities since she is always in her green form and cannot return to her human form.
Duration: 9 episodes of 30 minutes.
WandaVision (2021)
The story follows two characters who have been part of the UCM since the Avengers movies. They are Wanda Maximoff and Vision, a super-powered couple who move to the suburbs to try to have an everyday life. Wanda's overall story is heartbreaking, even more so when Vision came into the picture. We recommend that before watching this series, you watch 'Avengers: Age of Ultron,' 'Avengers: Infinity War' and 'Avengers: Endgame.' Another strong point of this series is its homage to television, as each episode celebrates a different decade of TV. And be sure to take advantage of the intros of each episode. They are great!
Duration: 9 episodes of 35 minutes.
The Falcon and the Winter Soldier (2021)
This series stars a man with wings and a metal arm. He seeks to explore the world in which Marvel superheroes live. In 'The Falcon and the Winter Soldier,' there are no alternate realities or big superpowers. Still, the existence of any two superheroes, even secondary ones, as is the case of Sam Wilson and Bucky Barnes, as they face the world after returning from the Blip, that is when half of the world's population returned to reality at the end of 'Avengers: Endgame.' The series uses this possibility to rewrite the decade-long narrative and breathe new life into the franchise by questioning what Captain America means in a world where this character is no longer present but still needed. 'The Falcon and the Winter Soldier' uses Sam's ordinary life to give new meaning to the concept of the "working class hero."
Duration: 6 episodes of 49-60 minutes.
Loki (2021)
Loki, also known as the god of deception, is one of the most beloved characters in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. He has a series to suit him: adventure, fantasy, and surprises. Following the events of 'Avengers: Endgame,' 'Loki,' starring Tom Hiddleston, tells what happened after the character stole the Tesseract in 2012 and escaped to a desert location. After he escapes from the timeline created in 'The Avengers,' Loki is arrested by an organization known as the Time Variance Authority (TVA). And who are they? This agency originating from Marvel comics, is tasked with keeping all the timelines in the Multiverse under control. Well, the different parallel worlds within the UCM are already a reality, and 'Loki' will explore a part of them. There is no doubt with Loki, we will live many fantasies and surprises, and we will travel through the Marvel galaxy and its timelines until we leave it, or it leaves us, upside down.
Duration: 6 episodes of 45 minutes.
What if...? (2021)
The 'What If' series is the most different from the other series and movies in Phase 4 of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. It is a cartoon production that tells what would have happened in the UCM if the events had happened differently. Thus, in each chapter of the Marvel Studios series, a story is told with alternative histories, in which important events within the Marvel Cinematic Universe are altered, finding situations such as what would have happened if Peggy Carter had taken the super soldier serum instead of Steve Rogers, or if Yondu and his henchmen had kidnapped T'Challa instead of Peter Quill.
Duration: 9 episodes of 40 minutes
Hawkeye (2021)
Set after the events of 'Avengers: Endgame,' this superhero series follows Clint Barton, better known as Hawkeye, who crosses paths with young Kate Bishop, an archer as skilled as the Avenger himself. Barton will take Bishop as his pupil and teach her everything she needs to be a competent avenger. On the other hand, also appearing in the 'Hawkeye' series is Yelena Belova, who, after the events in the post-credits scene of Black Widow, will go in Barton's footsteps to avenge her sister's death, holding Hawkeye responsible for it.
Duration: 6 episodes of 50 minutes.
Marvel Studios: Legends (2021)
Navigating the Marvel Cinematic Universe can be tricky. That's why Disney+ has launched 'Marvel Studios: Legends' so that we stay aware of so many stories. It is created in a docuseries format. Each episode is dedicated to a specific character of the UCM and contains some of their best scenes and great moments during the movies. A way to review the most iconic moments of each character but also to prepare the viewer for what is to come. It reviews the superheroes and recovers secondary characters so that, if you have yet to watch the movies, you can join the TV series with a brief review of everything we need to know to avoid getting lost in the plot.
Duration: 26 episodes of 5-10 minutes.
What are the upcoming UCM releases on Disney+?
Secret Invasion (2023)
'Secret Invasion' is one more of the series Marvel has lined up to premiere this year and all signs point to it being as impressive as 'WandaVision', 'Loki' and 'The Falcon and the Winter Soldier'. The series has connections to 'Nick Fury' and 'Captain Marvel' and will tell the story about the Skrulls' attempt to invade and conquer Earth. The invaders have the ability to shape-shift, which they use to steal the identities of dozens of people without the rest realizing it. The Skrull queen, Veranke, takes the identity of Spider-Woman, and her army manages to supplant agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. and the Fantastic Four. 'Secret Invasion' will feature six episodes and will star Samuel L. Jackson and Emilia Clarke.

X-men 97 (2023)
Wolverine, Cyclops, Ciclops, Rogue, Storm and company will return to Disney+ in this sequel 31 years after the 1992 series, the mutants' first appearance in the UCM. The '90s animated series that made the X-Men the most famous superhero team on television is coming back. While no exact release date has been given, Marvel has scheduled the series for September 2023. That's still a long way off, but in the meantime we can always ease the wait by catching up with the original series, available on Disney+.
Duration: 10 episodes.
Ironheart (2023)
'Ironheart' promises to be a teen adventure series that will feature Riri Williams as the main character. Riri was born in 2016 from the hands of Brian Michael Bendis and Mike Deodato as a gifted fifteen-year-old studying at MIT. One day, using material stolen on campus, she makes herself an Iron Man-like armor and Tony Stark himself ends up giving her the approval to become a superheroine.
Duration: 6 episodes.
Agatha: Coven of Chaos (2023)
This series will be a spin-off of 'The Vision and the Scarlet Witch.' What will it be about? As with all things Marvel, secrecy is at an all-time high as to the premise of the series. But we can imagine, especially from the cast, that it will be a sequel to Agatha's wanderings after 'WandaVision'... and thus the series would have to explain what happens to the witch after she gets trapped in Agnes' "persona" at the end of the series. As for the cast, Katrhyn Hahn plays the title character.
Duration: 1 season. Episodes to be confirmed.
Echo (2023)
This series will be a spin-off of 'Hawkeye'. Echo, Marvel's first Native American superheroine, is already here. She appeared briefly at the end of episode 2 of 'Hawkeye', was officially introduced in episode 3, and ended up giving a lot to talk about throughout the series. Echo is what Maya Lopez, the first Native American superheroine in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, calls herself. She is a gifted athlete with tremendous visual reflexes. Her greatest ability is, in true Taskmaster fashion, the ability to copy her opponent's moves; she's called Echo for a reason, right? However, Echo depends exclusively on these visual reflexes because she is deaf.
Duration: 1 season. Episodes to be confirmed.
Marvel Zombies (2024)
Marvel Studios' animated series will give birth to a new generation of heroes fighting an ever-expanding zombie scourge.
Duration: 4 episodes.
Spider-Man Freshman Year (2024)
Although the release of the Spider-Man animated series is a long way off, here's everything we know so far. The series will be based on the Marvel comics of the same name, "Spider-Man: Freshman Year". As its title implies, it will show Peter Parker's first years in high school when he learns to be Spider-Man and before the events of "Captain America: Civil War". In this way, the young man returns to his roots, where much of his difficulties come from having to find a balance between his life as a normal teenager and a street vigilante. As a result, he will have to hide his identity from his friends and family, as well as confront some iconic characters from the graphic novels.
Duration: 1 season. Episodes to be confirmed.
