It wouldn’t be much of a Disney+ Day without a few announcements from Marvel Studios. The MCU is expanding in very interesting ways as it introduces some new heroes while giving a few other supporting players their chance to shine with their own signature series. For instance, Hawkeye is set to debut later this November, while What If…? Is confirmed for a season 2. That’s not all, we will also get to see some exciting new titles like Moon Knight, She-Hulk, and Ms. Marvel join the roster of heroes. And if you were still hungry for some nostalgia, well Disney and Marvel is bringing back the 90s animated X-Men series.
Hawkeye is set in post-blip New York City where Clint Barton aka Hawkeye has a seemingly simple mission: get back to his family for Christmas. But when a threat from his past shows up, Hawkeye reluctantly teams up with 22-year-old skilled archer Kate Bishop to unravel a criminal conspiracy. The series stars Jeremy Renner, Hailee Steinfeld, Vera Farmiga, Fra Fee, Tony Dalton and newcomer Alaqua Cox. Episodes are directed by executive producer Rhys Thomas and directing duo Bert & Bertie; executive producer Jonathan Igla is head writer. The series premieres November 24, 2021. Enjoy an action-packed look in the Marvel Studios special on Disney+.
