As a new year dawns, Marvel fans are ready to revisit their favorite characters. And there will be plenty of ways to do so in 2026.<\/p>\n

It all culminates with another Avengers team-up, reuniting Earth\u2019s mightiest heroes, new and old (and some in unexpected ways, given Robert Downey Jr.\u2019s return to the franchise). But it spans across both the big and small screens.<\/p>\n

In total, there are eight Marvel projects currently set for release in 2026, though things could always change. For the time being, fans can expect five shows, two movies and one \u201cspecial presentation\u201d (think of it like a TV special). Here\u2019s how it all breaks down.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Wonder Man<\/p>\n

\"YahyaYahya Abdul-Mateen II in \u201cWonder Man\u201d (Disney+)<\/p>\n

Release Date:\u00a0Jan. 27, 2026<\/p>\n

Cast:\u00a0Yahya Abdul-Mateen II, Ben Kingsley<\/p>\n

Number of Episodes:\u00a010<\/p>\n

It\u2019s been a long road for \u201cWonder Man,\u201d after the show was\u00a0announced<\/a>\u00a0back in June of 2022, but it\u2019s finally set to release in January. <\/p>\n

Yahya Abdul-Mateen II stars as the man himself, and Ben Kingsley will return as Trevor Slattery, who fans first met in \u201cIron Man 3,\u201d then ran into again in \u201cShang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings.\u201d<\/p>\n

In the Marvel comics, \u201cWonder Man\u201d centers on Simon Williams, an actor and stuntman who was a founding member of the Los Angeles-based West Coast Avengers. But eventually, he goes to work for villain Baron Zemo (Daniel Br\u00fchl in the MCU, though it\u2019s unclear if he\u2019ll be part of this series), who gives him superhuman abilities. Despite being an initial adversary to the Avengers, he later joins them.<\/p>\n

The Punisher (Special Presentation)<\/p>\n

Release Date:\u00a02026<\/p>\n

Cast:\u00a0Jon Bernthal<\/p>\n

Number of Episodes:\u00a01<\/p>\n

Continuing the \u201cspecial presentation\u201d trend started by \u201cWerewolf by Night\u201d and the \u201cGuardians of the Galaxy\u201d holiday special, Jon Bernthal\u2019s Frank Castle is now\u00a0getting his own,<\/a>\u00a0after returning briefly for \u201cDaredevil: Born Again.\u201d<\/p>\n

Bernthal is not only starring but also co-writing alongside Reinaldo Marcus Green, with Green set to direct. The special presentation will air in 2026, alongside Season 2 of \u201cDaredevil: Born Again. An exact release date and plot points have yet to be revealed.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s possible that it will tie into the state of things after \u201cDaredevil: Born Again\u201d season 1, but it\u2019s perhaps just as possible that it will tee up Bernthal\u2019s arc in \u201cSpider-Man: Brand New Day.\u201d<\/p>\n

Daredevil: Born Again (Season 2)<\/p>\n

\""Daredevil:\u201cDaredevil: Born Again\u201d (Credit: Giovanni Rufino\/Marvel Studios)<\/p>\n

Release Date:\u00a0March 2026<\/p>\n

Cast:\u00a0Charlie Cox, Vincent D\u2019Onofrio, Deborah Ann Woll, Elden Henson, Krysten Ritter<\/p>\n

Number of Episodes:\u00a09<\/p>\n

When \u201cDaredevil: Born Again\u201d was first announced, it became the only show to receive two seasons immediately (whereas \u201cLoki\u201d did not confirm its renewal until its season one finale). The show was given an 18-episode order, to be split up into two seasons of nine. Back in September, the show scored an early renewal once more<\/a>, meaning it\u2019ll be back for season 3.<\/p>\n

The first season ended with Mayor Wilson Fisk (Vincent D\u2019Onofrio) declaring war on vigilantes and enacting martial law in New York City. Naturally, that\u2019s a problem for Daredevil. So, he and Karen (Deborah Ann Woll) are building a team to take him on. Who exactly is on that team remains to be seen, but we do know that Krysten Ritter is joining the fray once more as Jessica Jones.<\/a><\/p>\n

In addition to Charlie Cox and Vincent D\u2019Onofrio returning to face off as Daredevil and Kingpin, Deborah Ann Woll and Elden Henson are set to return as well (though again,\u00a0how exactly that\u2019s possible for the latter<\/a>\u00a0remains to be seen).<\/p>\n

Spider-Man: Brand New Day<\/p>\n

\"TomSony Pictures\/Marvel Studios via Tom Holland on Instagram<\/p>\n

Release date: July 31, 2026<\/p>\n

Cast: Tom Holland, Zendaya, Jacob Batalon, Sadie Sink, Mark Ruffalo, Jon Bernthal, Marvin Jones III<\/p>\n

Tom Holland is back for round four as Spider-Man \u2014 well, at least his fourth solo film, after appearing in several other Marvel projects \u2014 only this time, he\u2019s just Spider-Man. As fans will recall, at the end of \u201cSpider-Man: No Way Home,\u201d Peter had Doctor Strange (Benedict Cumberbatch) cast a spell that would cause everyone to forget who Peter Parker is, thus taking them out of danger for knowing his super secret.<\/p>\n

Exact plot details are being kept under wraps at this point.<\/p>\n

Release Date:\u00a0Summer 2026<\/p>\n

Cast:\u00a0See the full cast here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Number of Episodes:\u00a0TBA<\/p>\n

Not only is \u201cX-Men \u201997\u201d returning for a second season this summer, but the animated series also scored an early season 3 renewal<\/a> as well. <\/p>\n

Kicking off in 2024, \u201cX-Men \u201997\u201d picked up immediately after the conclusion of the original 1997 show. The season one finale revealed Cyclops and Jean Grey are trapped far in the future in 3960 AD, while Charles Xavier, Magneto, Rogue,\u00a0Beast and Nightcrawler are in ancient Egypt\u00a0in 3000 B.C. Not exactly ideal.<\/p>\n

Fans got an early look at the trailer for season 2 earlier this year at New York Comic Con, and the footage signaled the return of Apocalypse, as well as Wolverine, Cyclops, Jean Grey, Jubilee, Nightcrawler and more.<\/p>\n

VisionQuest<\/p>\n

Release Date:\u00a0Fall 2026<\/p>\n

Cast:\u00a0Paul Bettany, Ruaridh Mollica, Emily Hampshire, James Spader, Todd Stashwick, T\u2019Nia Miller<\/p>\n

Number of Episodes:\u00a0TBA<\/p>\n

\u201cVisionQuest\u201d is set to be the final show in a trilogy of sorts for Marvel, coming on the heels of \u201cWandaVision\u201d and \u201cAgatha All Along.\u201d It\u2019s been delayed quite a bit \u2014 it was first announced in 2022 \u2014 and still doesn\u2019t have an official release date, but for now, it\u2019s set for Fall 2026.<\/p>\n

The series will find Paul Bettany once again as the Vision, but this time he\u2019ll be the White Vision that we saw fly off<\/a> at the end of \u201cWandaVision.\u201d He\u2019s been given his memories back without having lived them, so now he\u2019s trying to figure out his humanity once more.<\/p>\n

Fans got a look at the trailer for the series at New York Comic-Con this year, which also revealed that Ruaridh Mollica will be playing a grown version of Tommy, Vision and Wanda\u2019s son.<\/p>\n

Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man (Season 2)<\/p>\n

\"your-friendly-neighborhood-spider-man-show\"Marvel Studios<\/p>\n

Release date: Dec. 18, 2026<\/p>\n

Cast: Hudson Thames, Colman Domingo, Eugene Byrd, Grace Song, Zeno Robinson, Hugh Dancy and Charlie Cox as Daredevil<\/p>\n

Number of Episodes: TBA<\/p>\n

As we wait for a new live-action Spider-Man film, we\u2019ll have more of the animated webslinger headed our way as well!<\/p>\n

The first season of the series kicked off around the events of \u201cCaptain America: Civil War,\u201d right about when Peter would have met Tony and teamed up with him in the big inter-Avengers battle. Instead, he meets Norman Osborn (Colman Domigo), in a \u201csister timeline\u201d as\u00a0Trammell describes it<\/a>.<\/p>\n

In this timeline, he attends Rockford T. Bales High School instead of Midtown and becomes close friends with Nico Minoru, Lonnie Lincoln and Harry Osborn, rather than Ned Leeds and MJ. The season finale revealed a major twist on Spider-Man\u2019s origins, though.<\/p>\n

In short, it\u2019s an odd time loop, and a symbiote is involved. So yes, there are lots of questions headed into season 2.<\/p>\n

Avengers: Doomsday<\/p>\n

\"RobertRobert Downey Jr. announces his return to the MCU at Comic-Con 2024 (Getty Images)<\/p>\n

Release date: Dec. 18, 2026<\/p>\n

Cast: It\u2019s very big. You can see everyone we know will be included here<\/a>. <\/p>\n

Yes, the next Avengers-level event is coming, and it\u2019s coming in the form of Dr. Doom. <\/p>\n

Robert Downey Jr. returns to the Marvel franchise this time as a villain (it remains unclear how exactly they\u2019re going to explain this in-universe, but remember, the multiverse is well-established at this point). The villain was first teased in 2025\u2019s \u201cThe Fantastic Four: First Steps.\u201d<\/p>\n

There are only a handful of Marvel projects left between now and \u201cDoomsday,\u201d<\/a> so we\u2019re curious how they\u2019ll manage to smoothly bring in everyone they need to.<\/p>\n
