Disney's annual D23 event is set to take place at the Anaheim Convention Center this weekend, and despite a recent press release making no mention of Marvel Studios, we're now hearing that some MCU-based projects will indeed be showcased.
According to insider Daniel Richtman, we will get a new look at Agatha All Long, as well as first teasers for other upcoming Disney+ shows Daredevil: Born Again and Ironheart (whether the footage will be released online afterwards remains to be seen).
On the animation side, we're expecting promos for Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man, Eyes of Wakanda, as well as future seasons of What If...?, and X-Men ’97.
We still don't know if any upcoming big-screen releases will be featured, but Marvel has been known to make some pretty major announcements during D23 in the past, so we might learn more about the studio's plans in the build-up to Avengers: Doomsday, at the very least.
“We are thrilled for fans of all ages to join us in Anaheim next month for what will truly be the ultimate Disney fan experience,” said Michael Vargo, head of D23: The Official Disney Fan Club in a statement. “This year, D23 has been reimagined to showcase even more of what they love from across the worlds of Disney. Guests will enjoy the incredible programming and show floor offerings we have in store at the Anaheim Convention Center, where our exceptional storytelling and experiences will come to life through spectacular entertainment with many of the creative masterminds behind the magic.”
Over 55 panels and presentations across five stages are coming to the multi-day fan experience, showcasing the very best in creative storytelling and innovation from across The Walt Disney Company. Disney’s award-winning storytelling engines, along with the Walt Disney Archives and Disney Experiences, have carefully curated an expansive line-up of extraordinary panels and presentations featuring behind-the-scenes access, rarely seen treasures, first-look showcases, and highly anticipated reunions. And fan-favorite presentations including D23 Mousequerade: The Ultimate Disney Costume Contest, Disney Princess – The Concert, Disney Character Voices: Inside the Studio, and more will once again return to the Anaheim Convention Center.
This year’s show floor is the largest in the event’s history and provides even more ways for fans to interact with beloved brands, stories, and talent, including immersive pavilions from Disney Experiences, Walt Disney Animation Studios, Pixar Animation Studios, Disney+, Hulu, National Geographic, and more. There’s something for everyone with incredibly immersive experiences for all fans.
