Marvel Television Announces Live-Action Zodiac For 2028, Along With Three New Marvel Zombies Specials, More

Marvel Television brought some big surprises to its New York Comic Con panel today, including some major announcements—what exactly is Zodiac?—and a first look at Daredevil: Born Again Season 3.

As we write this, fans at New York Comic Con are being treated to the first episode of VisionQuest, but the first half of Marvel Television's panel included several big announcements. 

The first saw the studio confirm that we're getting Zodiac on Disney+ in 2028. Described as a spy thriller, no additional story, character, or casting details have been revealed. It's hard to shake the feeling that this might be a codename for something else, as none of the comic book iterations of Zodiac seems quite right for a TV series.

The "A" seems to be hinting at S.H.I.E.L.D., anyway, so it's going to be an interesting show to keep an eye on in the coming months.

It's also been revealed that Marvel Animation's Marvel Zombies is making a comeback with three specials over three years: The Winter Soldier in 2027, The Fist of Khonshu in 2028, and The Last Guardian in 2029. It appears the plan is for them to drop every Halloween.

Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man Season 2 has a new poster, along with confirmation that it returns to Disney+ on January 13. An X-Men '97 Season 3 trailer featured appearances from Deadpool and She-Hulk, though that could be Morph again. 

Daredevil: Born Again Season 3 was also spotlighted briefly, with Marvel Studios confirming that Season 3 will be its last (which drew loud boos from attendees). Charlie Cox joked about resurrecting the #SaveDaredevil campaign, and a trailer was shown to fans. 

In that, the Defenders reunite, Bullseye is shown in his full suit, and Matt Murdock reportedly creates a makeshift costume with his prison uniform. There's currently nothing to suggest that will be officially released, and it hasn't leaked...yet.

Finally, we have a new VisionQuest poster, which can also be seen below. The first reactions from critics and fans will drop a little later, though screeners were only sent out earlier today, so it's doubtful that anyone has watched it in its entirety just yet. 

Stay tuned for more updates from New York Comic Con as we have them.

@TheRationalNerd - They spent a lot of money making those assets, cheaper to re-use those and even cheaper than live-action.

Is Zodiac a Mashup of agents of shield and captain Carter?

@Vigor - it does give very AOS vibes to me though I don’t think it has anything to do with Peggy.

@Vigor - Were you thinking about the "Agent Carter" One-Shot as well?

@TheVisionary25 - I have that exact agents of shield sticker on my ford Bronco gas door. So its Def AOS!

This is officially the end of Marvel on Disney plus.

It was fun while it last, I guess.

I wonder if it involves Agent Peggy Carter given in the one-shot she goes on a mission to retrieve "Zodiac". That and like Josh pointed out, the "A" looks like the SHIELD crest.

I thought they were done with the shows? [frick] all this garbage!

Reboot the MCU and DCU

Ok Marvel is officially dead, maybe the last exciting thing we will see be secret wars

But the things they are doing? Cancelling DD, Wonderman, not renewing Moonknight for... zodiac? Really? And more marvel zombies crap? Nobody was a fan of the writing on what if, or marvel zombies, or the xmen episodes directed by those folks... this sucks

I feel like even if it’s not the comic booky costumed versions , you can still do Zodiac on the small screen given they have gone through various iterations in the comics so you could pick & choose from any version to create the organization you want in the MCU.

My guess is given that it’s a spy thriller and the hints to SHIELD in the logo that it would be about the resurrection of that organization as they try to deal with this new one that is taking Hydra’s place…

Perhaps even going as far as having one of their agents such as Clay Quartermain go undercover to take it down from within?.

Anyway , I’m intrigued so far and hope it turns out well!!.

Do they seriously think bringing back Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. will pull in more viewers than Daredevil? I know AoS fans have been begging for its return for years, but Daredevil fans did the same, and it still got canceled.

I have a feeling they’re only doing this because of Lanterns. Watch it get canceled next year or end up being a one-season show.

They already [frick]ed up Secret Invasion, which had a great comic storyline to draw from, and now they want to try their own take on Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.? Instead of giving us a second season of Moon Knight? Really?

@ImNotaBot - Moon Knight needs a cinematic reboot, not a second season. Disney Marvel have proven time and time again they can't do TV.
ImNotaBot
ImNotaBot - 10/8/2026, 6:23 PM
@HashTagSwagg - There is no way we will get a Moon Knight full reboot or even a movie with the amount of viewers the show had. Maybe in 10+ years a full reboot is possible by right now i think a new showrunner and a better writing team for a season 2 is our best hope but I doubt it.

I’m guessing this might be another Nick Fury-led series loosely based off Secret Warriors which had the Zodiac Cartel featured.

Never got the hype with Marvel Zombies unless you're just that much of a fan of shock value deaths🤷🏾‍♂️

As a fan of Agents of Shield, Zodiac seems more interesting. I'd love to get a spiritual successor to that show.

@ModHaterSLADE - the first Marvel zombies was really good imo but fell off in quality story telling after that.

Zodiac....no other details. No one knows what it is about. Why even announce it lol. You may as well have put random letters on the screen with "Marvel Studios" above it. It's not like anyone even has any details to get excited about.

google says: In Jonathan Hickman’s Secret Warriors comics, the "Zodiac" (also known as the Great Wheel) is a secret council of top spymasters—including characters like Nick Fury and Baron Strucker—originally gathered by Leonardo da Vinci, where each member took an astrological sign.

Given the Marvel Zombies specials , I’m assuming we are no longer getting S2 since I think it was in development…

Anyway , doing one on Winter Solider in that universe makes sense since I think his fate was unclear in the What If episode he was in though Fist of Khonshu is intriguing since the Blade iteration of Moon Knight died in Marvel Zombies S1 so will this be a prequel about him or Marc Spector that was implied to be the MK before him or one set after where he is still and becomes the new Avatar?.

Anyway , Marvel slate so far…

2026:
VisionQuest
Avengers:Doomsday

2027:
YFNS S2
Daredevil:Born Again S3
X-Men 97 S3
Marvel Zombies:The Winter Soldier
Avengers:Secret Wars

2028:
YFNS S3(?)
Zodiac
X-Men
X-Men 97 S4 (?)
Ghost Rider
Marvel Zombies:Fist of Khonshu
Black Panther 3

2029:
Marvel Zombies:The Last Guardian
