It's been four years since the Marvel Studios 2021 special Disney+ day. After four years, all the productions announced in this short film have finally premiered, culminating with Marvel Zombies in September 2025.

It's important to mention that during those four years, there were many changes:

Secret Invasion underwent reshoots and was delayed until the summer of 2023.

Echo had its episodes shortened and all premiered on the same day in January 2024.

Agatha House of Harkness was renamed Agatha All Along (after having four other names, lol).

Spider-Man: Freshman Year was renamed Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man and premiered in January 2025.

Other productions also premiered in between those announced here:

Where Wolf by Night, I Am Groot Season 2, What If Season 3, Daredevil: Born Again, and Eyes of Wakanda.

With all that said, I'll conclude this brief overview. Please share your thoughts.

P.S.: I think I forgot to mention someone. Could you remind me, please?

I didn’t know that nugget of info about Echo. Were the episodes shortened for length or was the episode count itself cut?

lullula_arborea2025-11-13 14:27

was originally going to be 6 episodes, you can find info about the original version here: https://www.reddit.com/r/MarvelStudiosSpoilers/comments/199a365/all_of_echos_cut_plot_points_by_cwgst/

Paperchampion232025-11-13 15:14

At least some of it was additional connections to Born Again's older version. They cut it while that was being overhauled. Honestly im glad they did, because some of it (you can see in the link the other commenter linked you) entirely seems to get Matt Murdock wrong (like him being okay with her blowing up a train yard and her killing people).

Born Again's overhaul was well worth that sacrifice.

To this day I still believe that Secret Invasion should have been its own movie. The whole concept of not knowing who is an ally or not and for how long really interests me and would have been fun to see on the big screen.

ThePhunkyPharaoh2025-11-13 14:51

I think I care less about the format and more about the fact that it needed more build and more stakes. The shows and movies preceding it should have had allusions, hints, or even full blown reveals that major characters were Skrulls and then the actual project should have focused on the intrigue of not being able to trust anyone with more than just Rhodey being shown as a Skrull. There needed to be a reason not to call the Avengers and that should have been because they were compromised

CaptHayfever2025-11-13 15:48

At the very least, they shouldn't have made the character who was already announced to be the protagonist of Armor Wars end up having been Skrull'd for Lord knows how long.

NaiRad10002025-11-13 17:01

If I recall I think it was supposed to be a movie. Same wit Hawkeye and Falcon and Winter Soldier

youthpastor2472025-11-13 20:49

Honestly, the whole of Phase 4 should have been Secret Invasion, and it should have led to either an Avengers or Captain Marvel movie where they fight the Skrulls. Not every movie had to be about Skrulls, but you could have easily had the overarching theme be the Skrulls taking over positions of people who got blipped and then turning against humanity once those people returned to their normal lives.

ScaredFamousfan2025-11-13 14:27

I was no naive first time watching this, I thought they were only showing part of their schedule turns out they revealed the whole next saga during that investors day video. They should never do that again

vivianvisionsburner2025-11-13 14:42

Oh, wow. That's crazy. They've really changed because the few announcements we've gotten since then have all been one-at-a-time and through the trades.

Curious to see what the next era looks like

lrd_cth_lh02025-11-13 15:18

x-men 97: sequel to a beloved property that doesn't need 3 seasons to get to the good plotlines.

Echo: spin off to a streetlevel property.

Spiderman freshman year: I am not even sure if this is the fifth spiderman cartoon this decade or a cancelled live action rpoject.

Agatha: Another spin off but about the best twist villain, does answer some questions just not the once you were askiing.

Zombies: funny elseworld story.

She Hulk: why couldn't they just hire one of the writters from Boston Legal?

Ms. Marvel: I am literally not in the target audience for this.

Moon Knight: That one was pretty good.

What if 2: I did like it, but the multiverse is so dead as a concept right now.

I am groot: I skipped this one.

Iron heart: they actually fixed her character from Wakanda forever by giving her flaws aknowledging them and make them have consequences. Also they learned from the Acolyte and released 2 episode per week.

Secret Invasion: they fucked this one up and denied it any emotional pay off by not having a confrontation between furry and the monster he created.

CaptHayfever2025-11-13 15:46

> Spiderman freshman year: I am not even sure if this is the fifth spiderman cartoon this decade or a cancelled live action rpoject.

It became "Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man"; they reworked it from an MCU Spidey prequel into an alternate-universe story.

YellowHammerDown2025-11-14 00:48

I've been very critical of Disney's use of the Spider-Man property in animation since Marvel reacquired the rights. YFNSM has by far been the best animated series they've made with the IP.

The-Batt2025-11-13 16:14

These shows really filled out the Marvel section of Disney+. A wide variety of content for Marvel fans.

Tristonia72025-11-13 17:00

For real. It’s a lot of entertainment, even though it’s not all good or seemingly relevant to the main story. Gives people stuff to watch

Master-of-Focus2025-11-13 20:29

Well the audience has shown they like quality over quantity

Tristonia72025-11-13 20:41

I definitely prefer quality. Just saying that it’s cool to see how many options we have in the marvel category now

Meizas2025-11-13 16:20

I love the slide with lonely Armor Wars 😂

I'm excited to potentially have another reveal/graphic like this someday for post secret wars. I know they're more cautious about that now, but this seemed to work out

LegendaryOutlaw2025-11-13 16:34

The Agatha show name changes was such a great troll from Marvel.

mike2k242025-11-13 18:05

I can’t help but feel like most of these projects just were pretty disappointing honestly. The Disney+ MCU shows as whole is just overall pretty meh

9FingeredFrodo2025-11-13 20:12

This list has a lot of clunkers and I think contributed to the loss of good will toward the MCU after Endgame.

mike2k242025-11-13 20:19

Agreed. It was also the fact that it felt like there was way too many projects at once, people didn’t know what was homework to watch what wasn’t. Just a recipe for disaster

Sharktopotopus_Prime2025-11-13 18:52

This image right here showcases why the MCU has been struggling throughout the Multiverse Saga. If you look at the Infinity Saga lineup by comparison, Avengers films were never more than three years away. By the time Doomsday releases, it will have been seven years since Endgame. Similarly, during the Infinity Saga, big headliner projects showcasing Marvel's most popular heroes were released every single year. Now, we have to wait many years between projects that show the Marvel heroes that fans have already come to know and love.

Look, I'm not saying we shouldn't have any projects dedicated to less popular heroes, but the Multiverse Saga has almost completely sidelined the MCU's headliners, in favour of focusing on a bunch of characters that the regular public and even a lot of Marvel fans don't really know. The MCU should really stop making entire series and films dedicated to C- and D-level heroes. Think about it: Iron Man and Captain America's origins got told over the course of a single movie. Now Disney+ is giving us more than double that amount of time to tell the origins of heroes that are far less popular. It doesn't make sense. If you want to feature lesser-known heroes, best to do it in an event series that brings a number of characters together. Stop treating every single character like they deserve their own project.

This is why I'm excited for the next couple years: because we're finally returning to a model where the big names and huge teamup movies have a regular spotlight.

eagc72025-11-13 21:14

To be fair we should've gotten Avengers 6 by now, but the world and the film industry went to heck in the last few years.

Now i would hold my excitment about teamup films having regular spotlight, we don't know yet if Feige is gonna go back to the model of having Avengers films every 3 or so years or if he will stick to the model of the Multiverse Saga in where Avengers is saved for the finale (Which is what i suspect was the plan for the Multiverse Saga in order to make Avengers more "special" lets save them as the big finale)

Correct-Chemistry6182025-11-14 09:31

The point isn't about C-list or D-list heroes. Before The Suicide Squad, Peacemaker was a memorable comic book character only because Alan Moore was inspired by him to create The Comedian. Now his TV series has dominated the ratings on HBO Max, and the character has become one of DC's most famous antiheroes.

And that's because his show was written with a recognizable, original style and a genuine passion that, combined with the writer's talent, has made it a cult classic even for those who haven't actually watched the series (just look at the memes about the second season's opening theme: almost no episode begins with a dramatic scene followed by the theme song, but the meme and the theme song have become equally popular).

This is the real problem with the MCU: they make bland, unappealing projects, assuming they'll still make money thanks to the fandom, as if we were still in the 2019 boom and not in a period when cinema in general is in crisis and superheroes are no longer a sure thing at the box office.

The perfect example is The Marvels: if you take away the fact that the three protagonists are MCU characters, what's so memorable and captivating about that film? The plot is "three girls on a quirky and generic space adventure against a generic villain," and it would be fine for a TV movie, at best for a direct-to-streaming movie. Yet Disney spent an insane budget on this little story, making it a flop.

epic_reddit_dude2025-11-14 12:43

They should have just stuck to the formula of focusing on movies with the big name characters and having the lesser known characters play smaller roles or villain redemption roles like they did with black widow, Hawkeye, winter soldier, ghost, vision, war machine, falcon, and so on. Of course they could still do the occasional riskier solo movie featuring a lesser known character like with Shang chi which was successful, just as long as they are able to make a really good first impression or can help set up more world building in the larger mcu. Plus that’s exactly how guardians of the galaxy took off back in the day. So it can work, but not all the time

In the post-secret wars era, I feel they should go back to that formula instead of a million tv shows that no one watches. I mean Spider-Man 4 is already showing signs of them doing this by also featuring punisher and hulk. Literally Just keep doing exactly that with a bunch of the other solo movies going forward after secret wars. Work smarter not harder.

For example characters like nova and gladiator could be in guardians of the galaxy and show up in other cosmic centric movies, and man thing and werewolf by night and other marvel monsters could be in a blade or moon knight movie or ghost rider movie. The possibilities are limitless

EnvironmentalWolf722025-11-13 21:35

Didn’t they announce some Kang movie which poofed?

eagc72025-11-13 23:55

Yeah Doomsday was originally Kang Dynasty, but they didn't announced it till 2022, a year after this announcement
