8 Upcoming Disney Plus Marvel Shows (2020 And Beyond)
If we go back a few years, nobody would have thought that there will be a whole universe of Marvel movies. With more than 20 movies, MCU is bigger than ever before.
Besides spectacular movies, there were also a lot of Marvel TV shows under the banner of Marvel. For instance, there was Netflix’s Daredevil, Punisher, Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., and many more. But unfortunately, Marvel movies completely ignored the events happening in Marvel TV shows.
Nevertheless, with the launch of Disney’s streaming service, Disney+, everything is going to change. Firstly, Disney Plus became the prime destination to watch all Marvel movies. Secondly, Marvel Studios is working on its own Shows that will be tied directly with Marvel Movies. And these upcoming Disney Plus Marvel Shows will expand the Marvel Universe even further:

Marvel Shows Arriving On Disney Plus
1. The Falcon And The Winter Soldier
This is one of those Disney Plus Marvel shows that will take place after the events of Avengers: Endgame. After the retirement of Steve Rogers as Captain America, Falcon is handed over the shield. So, Falcon teams up with Bucky Barnes (aka The Winter Soldier) to take on the Marvel comic-book supervillain Super-Patriot.
Expected Release Date: Late 2020
2. WandaVision
I know, everyone is thinking that after being killed in Avengers: Infinity Wars, how could Vision reappear in this Marvel TV show. Well, as of now, we only have some theories on that. One of those speculations states that most of the events in WandaVision will take place in Scarlet Witch’s mind. According to Kevin Feige, Chief Creative Officer of Marvel Entertainment, events of this Marvel TV show on Disney Plus will lead directly to the sequel of Doctor Strange. And that seems plausible as it is confirmed that Scarlet Witch will team up with Dr. Strange in the upcoming “Doctor Strange In The Multiverse Of Madness.”
Expected Release Date: Fall 2020
3. Loki
In the original timeline, Thanos kills Loki in front of Thor. So, there’s no way for that version of Loki to return. However, in Avengers: Endgame, when our heroes went back in time to get the Tessaract in 2012, things didn’t go as planned. Loki somehow escapes from the bounds of the Avengers and takes the Tesseract with him. Well, this is one of those Disney Plus Marvel shows that will follow the mischievousness of Loki, the one who never got killed by Thanos.
Expected Release Date: Early 2021
4. What If…?
It will be an animated Marvel TV show on Disney Plus based on the Marvel comic book series “What If…?” Have you wondered what could have happened if Peggy Carter took the soldier serum instead of Steve Rodgers? And how things would have worked out if Loki wielded the Mjolnir instead of Thor? Well, all these different scenarios will be covered in What If…?
Expected Release Date: Late 2021
5. Hawkeye
We don’t know much about this Marvel show as of yet. However, what we know is that the events of this upcoming Disney Plus Marvel show will take place after the Avengers: Endgame timeline. Hawkeye will continue teaching his daughter, Kate Bishop, who’ll eventually take the mantle of Hawkeye from his father.
Expected Release Date: Late 2021
6. Ms. Marvel
For those who don’t follow Marvel comic books, Kamala Khan (aka Ms. Marvel) is a Pakistani girl with shapeshifting abilities. She discovers that she’s isn’t human and is handed over the Ms. Marvel title by none other Captain Marvel. It’s confirmed that Kamala Khan will appear in MCU movies too in addition to the upcoming Marvel TV Show on Disney+. So, Ms. Marvel may appear in Captain Marvel 2.
Expected Release Date: T.B.A.
7. Moon Night
Just like Ms. Marvel and Hawkeye, we don’t have much on Moon Night. However, it is confirmed that we’ll see a Disney Plus Marvel Show revolving around this character. Just imagine Batman suffering from multiple personality disorders — yep, that’s Moon Night for you.
Expected Release Date: T.B.A.
8. She-Hulk
Bruce Banner is no longer the only Hulk in MCU. In the comics, Bruce’s cousin, Jennifer Walters, becomes She-Hulk after a blood transfusion from Bruce. And this Marvel show on Disney+ is going to follow that same story arc. Also, Feige said that they have big plans for She-Hulk. So, we can confidently say that Bruce’s cousin will appear in MCU movies in the far future.
Expected Release Date: T.B.A.
Upcoming Disney Plus Marvel TV Shows Will Be No Less Than Marvel Movies
One might think that the scale of Marvel shows on Disney Plus will be small when compared to Marvel movies; however, that isn’t the case. All Disney Plus Marvel shows in the list will be limited to a maximum of 6 episodes. So, it will be like watching a 6-hour long movie. Also, I have already mentioned that these upcoming Marvel TV shows on Disney Plus will fall directly in the MCU timeline. So, the production of all the Marvel shows on Disney plus will be massive.
