The Disney+ streaming service will feature a new Star Wars live action series and also some new Marvel series.
Star Wars Series on Disney+
Iger also announced that Lucasfilm is in development on a second Star Wars live-action series for Disney+ that will go into production next year. The series will follow the adventures of Rebel spy Cassian Andor during the formative years of the Rebellion and prior to the events of Rogue One: A Star Wars Story. Diego Luna will reprise the role of Andor, which he originated in the 2016 film. “Going back to the Star Wars universe is very special for me,” said Luna. “I have so many memories of the great work we did together and the relationships I made throughout the journey.
In addition to the Cassian Andor series, Disney+ will also feature “The Mandalorian,” another highly anticipated Star Wars series. Created by Jon Favreau, “The Mandalorian” is set after the fall of the Empire and before the rise of the First Order. It follows the journey of a lone gunfighter in the outer reaches of the galaxy far from the authority of the New Republic. This series promises to bring a fresh perspective to the Star Wars universe, exploring new characters and storylines.
Marvel Series on Disney+
The new Disney+ streaming service will also be home to several new Marvel series. Among the announced projects are “Loki,” which will follow the God of Mischief after the events of “Avengers: Endgame,” and “WandaVision,” which will explore the lives of Wanda Maximoff (Scarlet Witch) and Vision. These series are expected to delve deeper into the characters’ backstories and provide fans with more context and development than the films have been able to offer.
Another exciting Marvel series coming to Disney+ is “The Falcon and the Winter Soldier,” which will focus on the adventures of Sam Wilson (Falcon) and Bucky Barnes (Winter Soldier) as they navigate a post-Captain America world. This series is anticipated to explore themes of legacy, friendship, and the challenges of stepping into the shoes of a beloved hero.
Disney+ will also feature “Hawkeye,” a series that will see Jeremy Renner reprising his role as Clint Barton. The show will introduce Kate Bishop, a young archer who takes up the mantle of Hawkeye. This series is expected to explore the mentor-mentee relationship between Clint and Kate, adding depth to the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
