Paul Bettany returns as Vision, continuing an 18-year MCU run that began in 2008’s Iron Man as JARVIS. He reunites with James Spader’s Ultron, and other familiar MCU faces join the cast. Vision works to get his humanity back and reconnects with his son, Tommy Maximoff, played by Ruaridh Mollica. If you want a refresher on the franchise, see Wikipedia’s MCU overview.
2. Iron Man and his Awesome Friends
This animated children’s series returns on October 28. It began on Disney+ in August 2025 and follows kid versions of Tony Stark, Riri Williams and Amadeus Cho, each with their own Iron suit. They use their brains and armor to solve problems and take on villains like Ultron, Absorbing Man, Loki and Swarm.
3. Marvel’s Spidey and his Amazing Friends
Season 5 resumes on October 30. The show stars grade-school versions of Peter Parker, Gwen Stacy and Miles Morales facing Spidey’s rogues, including Rhino, Doc Ock, the Green Goblin, Electro, Black Cat, Sandman and the Lizard. It also led to the Iron Man spin-off, and the two shows shared a Halloween-themed crossover in September.
What’s Coming Later
Marvel’s pipeline after October looks like this, based on the report:
- Daredevil: Born Again Season 3: March 2027, confirmed as the final season, with a Defenders reunion featuring Jessica Jones, Luke Cage, Iron Fist and Elektra.
- Marvel Zombies specials: Announced at New York Comic-Con for 2027, 2028 and 2029.
- Zodiac: A spy thriller shooting next year, aimed at a 2028 premiere.
- Spider-Man: Brand New Day: Expected on Disney+ much later, likely not until Summer 2028 per the report.
- Avengers: Doomsday: Opens in December and is expected to stream sometime in 2027.
The report also notes that Marvel seems to be leaning harder into theatrical releases, since many streaming shows haven’t performed well on viewership.
