For a few weeks, Marvel fans had heard that Marvel Television<\/a> was secretly developing a show called \u201cZodiac.\u201d Because that word is so synonymous with symbols, mystery, and intrigue<\/a>, we all assumed it was code for something else. But as it turns out, it is not. At New York Comic Con<\/a>, Marvel just announced that a new series called Zodiac is coming to Disney+ in 2028.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s a clip of the official announcement. You see the logo above.<\/p>\n

So, what the heck is Zodiac about? Who is in it? Marvel, so far, isn\u2019t saying. All we know is that it\u2019s a \u201cspy thriller\u201d and there are at least two clues staring us right in the face. \u201cIf you\u2019re a fan of the comics, there\u2019s a lot hidden in that logo,\u201d Marvel Television\u2019s Brad Winderbaum said at NYCC. \u201cThat\u2019s all you\u2019re getting. It\u2019s supposed to be a secret.\u201d<\/p>\n

The first is the \u201cO\u201d in Zodiac. That looks like one of Tony Stark\u2019s Arc Reactors. Now, clearly, Tony Stark isn\u2019t going to show up on a Disney+ show. But is there a Tony Stark-like character whose story is still dangling on Disney+? Yes, there is. Riri Williams. Aka Ironheart. So maybe she\u2019s part of this show.<\/p>\n

But then there\u2019s the \u201cA.\u201d That certainly looks like the logo for S.H.I.E.L.D. And if this is a show with S.H.I.E.L.D. in it? Strap in. Does that mean we\u2019re looking at the Nick Fury-type S.H.I.E.L.D. that has been at the forefront of the movies and even had its own Disney+ show (kind of) in Secret Invasion? Or could this be Marvel\u2019s way to bring back cast members from Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., in the same way they did with characters from the Netflix shows like Daredevil, Jessica Jones, and Luke Cage?<\/p>\n

You can almost start to see where those stories could cross over too, right? Riri\u2019s technological prowess. S.H.I.E.L.D.\u2019s need to help people. And didn\u2019t Riri literally make a deal with the devil at the end of her show? Could we get Mephisto back here?<\/p>\n

Also, if you look at the comics, there was a Marvel group called Zodiac, made up of characters based on astrological signs. We doubt this is related in any way to that, but it\u2019s worth mentioning. And was probably the inspiration, at least for the title.<\/p>\n

Unless, and stick with us on this, but since \u201cZodiac\u201d was thought to be just a placeholder name, could it still be that? Could Marvel be trying to pull a fast one on us, as it has in the past? It seems possible.<\/p>\n

We\u2019ll have more on Zodiac, or whatever the heck it is, when we know more.<\/p>\n
