Potential future shows
  • Starhawk and the Ravagers: A spin-off of Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 following Stakar and his reunited team going on a wild adventure/heist. The natural villains would be the Badoon, recalling the original comics.
    • Alternatively, a prequel focusing on Yondu and how he met Starhawk and became a part of the Ravagers.
    • While James Gunn has planned for Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 to be his last Guardians film, he hasn't ruled out helming a Ravengers spin-off series.
  • Jimmy Woo: A spin-off of Ant-Man and the Wasp that shows us what Jimmy Woo is normally doing as an FBI agent, with an equal blend of action and comedy. Expect allusions to his comics' organization ATLAS if such a series is made. It could also spin out of Shang-Chi, or lead in to a potential sequel.
    • It could be a spin-off of WandaVision and have Darcy return as a main character.
  • Midtown: A spin-off of the Spider-Man films. It'll follow students at the Midtown School of Science & Technology and help introduce new elements that'll impact the third MCU Spider-Man film.
  • The Two-Gun Kid: A Period Piece that follows the eponymous hero, real name Matt Hawk, as he encounters supernatural and extraterrestrial forces in the farthest reaches of the American west in the 19th century. Other western characters such as the Rawhide Kid, the Masked Raider, and Kid Colt can make a guest appearance or two.
  • Union Jack: The story of Joseph Chapman, who becomes a masked vigilante who operates around England, while fighting off a criminal organization. May or may not include allusions to the Falsworth family.
    • It would take inspiration from the 2007 miniseries and feature Chapman teaming up with Arabian Knight and Sabra (possibly with Contessa Valentina Allegra de la Fontaine recruiting them for their shared mission).
  • I Am Groot: A Prequel focusing on the original Groot, showing his origin before he met Rocket and then showing how he became Rocket's "muscle". It'll introduce elements present in future "cosmic" films.
    • Jossed: while there will be a Groot-centric show with that title, it will instead be a bunch of animated shorts focused on Baby Groot.
  • The Crew: A loose tie-in to the Black Panther characters, which follows "Kasper" Cole, Josiah Bradley, and others being recruited by T'Challa to act as a covert group to uncover a plot to turn Americans against Wakanda.
    • Finding Wakanda: An alternate idea for a Black Panther spin-off centering on the making of the in-universe documentary by the same title that was shown in Spider-Man: Far From Home. A Travelogue Show that explores the lives and sociopolitical opinions of everyday Wakandans, historians (including one Changamire), and low-level government officials, particularly their views on the current monarchy and how it's handled recent events. We could also see through the show’s diagetic framing how the documentary is used to sway outside (read: "Western") opinion on Wakanda and cast it in an unfavorable light, especially if The Daily Bugle or related organizations are involved in its production.
      • It has been established that the MCU Daily Bugle is basically a "news" website (or at least as much as you can consider an InfoWars stand-in "news"); at best, Jameson would show up in a clip saying vibranium turns frogs gay. Which would be hilarious, I admit.
      • We'll have to wait (probably until the next Spider-Man film) and see how seriously the public treats the Daily Bugle, but it's not as though in our current sociopolitical climate those sorts of media outlets aren't taken seriously by a surprisingly high percentage of the American public up to and including the President...
      • Okay, I have to to raise a few questions; Why would Marvel want there to be multiple episodes of a show that boils down to "Here's some white guys saying mean things about Wakanda"? What do they have to gain from such a series? How would they market a Fake Documentary that's intentionally xenophobic as entertainment on Disney+? And if it isn't really about American guys who hate Wakanda saying it over "stock footage" of the country, what purpose would such a series serve? Couldn't they accomplish the Worldbuilding aspect in a show that actually about Wakandans doing things, told from their perspective?
    • A drama series focused around Wakanda is confirmed to be in development. While not much is known, the wording suggests it will be set in Wakanda proper, making both The Crew and Finding Wakanda unlikely to be the focus.
  • The Warriors Three: A prequel starring younger versions of Hogun, Fandral, and Volstagg before they really became companions of Thor. Young Thor, Loki, and Sif will all appear in minor roles, and it will detail how the Warriors Three became who they were. It'll provide a more expansive look at Asgard and the unexplored realms.
  • Tales of the Quantum Realm: A series starring Bruce/Hulk. It'll be about him and various researchers helping Hank Pym to study the Quantum Realm. There, they stumble into the city of K'ai, where Princess Jarella guides them through the mysterious hidden world of creatures that live there while she and Bruce fall in love. The series will tie up the loose thread of Ava/Ghost by saying that the research helped find a way to cure her condition.
  • The Unbeatable Squirrel Girl: Now that Marvel TV's New Warriors pilot for Freeform has failed, she's up for Marvel Studios to utilize if they're interested. Would explore the quirkier side of the Marvel Universe in ways appropriate of her.
    • Milana Vayntrub will, for lack of a better word, reprise her role from the failed pilot.
    • They would use Adaptation Distillation to fuse her solo series with her earlier appearances. It'd start with showing Doreen as a high school graduate who becomes a superhero who gets into shenanigans with the goofs calling themselves the Great Lakes Avengers trying to make a name for themselves in Wisconsin, before she moves to New York City to attend college there. MODOK would be the villain of the show, with Patton Oswalt reprising his role from the upcoming Hulu cartoon, but a version exclusive to the MCU. Due to the comedic tone taken, it'd mostly consist of Squirrel Girl effortlessly defeating MODOK over and over while struggling with her school life.
  • Wonder Man: A series showing actor Simon Williams become the superhero Wonder Man, encounter an Avenger or two, and try and navigate Los Angeles in a post-Blip entertainment industry. All while his actions are manipulated by a mysterious villain.
  • Ka-Zar and Shanna: A series introducing the Savage Land into the MCU through the eyes of both Ka-Zar and Shanna the She-Devil. Events will include some time committed to showing their respective origins, Zabu having to fight off dinosaurs, Ka-Zar's and Shanna's first meeting and courtship, and an antagonistic outsider coming to the Savage Land to try and exploit it.
  • The Baxter Building: A Work Com set in the titular building, serving as a prequel to a potential Fantastic Four film.
  • Ant-Man and the Wasp: Cold War: A prequel to Ant-Man focusing on Hank Pym and Janet van Dyne operating as superheroes for SHIELD during the Cold War.
  • Marvel Team-Up: Another anthology series, but set in the proper continuity. It would used to show additional stories for various established heroes, but with an added bonus; each episode would feature one of said previously introduced heroes teaming up with another making their MCU debut. This provides an outlet to introduce whole new heroes into the MCU without having to insert them into the movies. It would also be less risky to use obscure characters in this format, allowing for oddball choices for what heroes they choose to introduce and use later in the films (all of which could apply to the villains they fight as well).
  • Slapstick: A Looney Tunes-esque comedy series, will be full of refrences to numerous 1920s-50s cartoons.
  • 1602: A series that takes loose inspiration from Neil Gaiman's Marvel 1602, that shows the distant past of. the MCU. It'll be an elaborate historical fiction, showing Historical Domain Characters interacting with characters who are the distant predecessors or ancestors of Marvel heroes and villains, with plots taking place primarily in England during the transition of Queen Elizabeth I to James I and North America. The main characters in the England based parts will be Mutants hiding their powers while being hunted by a previous Black Knight, while the ones in the North America ones will be an ancestor to the Cheyenne hero Red Wolf and the allies he makes.
    • Alternativly, Marvel 1693, as we know that Agatha Harkness was a Salem Witch, and we may have two with "Dottie", aka Sarah Proctor note .
    • A spinoff of WandaVision focused on Agatha, is in the works, so 1693 (probably called something different) might be on the way.
    • Semi-Confirmed. Season 2 of What If...? will based at least 1 episode on 1602. There is also the potential for a spin-off, in the same vein as Marvel's Zombies
  • Tigra: A series that shows Greer Grant encountering the hidden Cat People, becoming Tigra, and going on an adventure that ends her being recruited into the Avengers. Her story would be understandably simplified, with her pre-Tigra identity as the Cat being Adapted Out, the Cat People's history being streamlined, and some of the main Avengers being the heroes she first teams up with instead of Spider-Man. If Werewolf By Night gets introduced in Moon Knight, he'll reappear in Tigra.
  • Alpha Flight: A series detailing the formation of the titular group, who are Canada's state-sanctioned Super Team. Each episode would shine a spotlight on a member, with the members plucked from various incarnations of the team (i.e. Talisman being used in the place of Shaman, Zuzha Yu serving on the team along with her father Puck). It would also feature an appearance from Wolverine, who could appear as a member who leaves the team during the series or a former member who has since joined the X-Men, possibly helping integrate the Merry Mutants into the MCU if they haven't gotten their own movie yet. The final episode would feature the team, now more united thanks to the events of the previous episodes, making a big splash and becoming well known to the other heroes of the MCU, with an appearance by Captain Marvel to boot.
  • Nick Fury: Agent of SHIELD: A prequel series that follows a young Nick Fury when he was just a rookie in SHIELD, and showing his rise to prominence within the organization. The villain would be a Nazi war criminal, a reference to how the original Nick Fury was a sergeant in WWII. Samuel L. Jackson will provide a framing device as a modern day Fury telling a friendly Skrull about the events of the series, making up for the Time-Shifted Actor needed to show Fury at such a younger age.
  • Sleepwalker: The story of Rick Sheridan and the titular Sleepwalker, a member of a race of being who travel through dreams in a realm called the Mindscape and capture evil entities that try to possess human bodies, who ended up trapped inside Rick while battling a powerful creature known as Cobweb who was trying to take over Rick to invade the physical world. On Earth, Sleepwalker emerges in a physical form when Sheridan sleeps and the otherworldly hero will do battle with the eccentric gang leader Jeff "8-Ball" Hagees and the mind-enslaving songstress Lullaby. This will alert Cobweb to the situation, and it will try to manipulate the situation to invade Earth. For the sake of getting a change of scenery, Rick will live in another heavily populated American city instead of New York City, like Philadelphia or Houston. Despite the change in location, the series will also feature a guest appearance by Doctor Strange and/or Moon Knight.
  • Justices: Time Variance Authority: a spin-off of Loki focusing on the Time Variance Authority. It'll be a parody of police procedurals both new and old such as Kojak and NCIS, but with time travelers and alternate timelines. It'll focus on various Justices, including Peace of course, pursuing time traveling beings who have broken their laws, with tongue-in-cheek jokes similar to previous parody series such as Angie Tribeca and Police Squad!.
  • Kitty Pryde and Wolverine: a series focused on the adventures of the two titular X-Men heroes, taking inspiration from the 80s miniseries of the same name. Like it, it would feature Kitty and Logan traveling to Japan and battling Ogun, who would serve as the main antagonist of the series. Divergences from the comics would include the presence of Lockheed, the absence of some characters such as Yukio, an appearance by Daken, and, in general, just how the two main characters are actually like due to how they get introduced. This will also serve as a way to give Wolverine a prominent role without having him at the very forefront of the MCU's X-Men films, since that might be seen as too similar to how things were done in the X-Men Film Series.
  • Killraven: a series set in an alternate universe where an alien force has enslaved humanity, opposed only by rebels called the Freemen and a man named Jonathan Raven, who'll become known to the aliens as the titular Killraven, make allies in this world, join the Freemen, and ultimately save his Earth.
  • Force Works: a series that'll follow Pepper and Rhodey assembling a new hero team to hunt down villains who have complicated revenge schemes against Tony and his legacy, which they'll admit there are an annoyingly large amount. The members of Force Works would be Joseph Green, a US military sergeant who became bonded to a destructive alien gauntlet salvaged from Thanos' invasion fleet, Century, an alien warrior suffering from memory loss who came to Earth after hearing of its superheroes, and last, but most importantly, either Daisy Johnson/Quake or Bobbi Morse/Mockingbird from Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.
  • Avengers A.I.: a series partly based on the short lived comic book of the same name. In this series, Dimitrios (or rather DIMITRIOS) will be an A.I. assistant similar to JARVIS or FRIDAY who will decide Ultron was right and go rogue, take over an android body, and try to continue Ultron's efforts to destroy humanity. Another A.I. assistant, called Alexis/ALEXIS, will take over an android body as well and oppose him alongside Vision (if he really comes back in WandaVision that is), a "runaway" android teenager named Victor Mancha, a robotic duplicate of Victor Von Doom of Latveria, and Agent Monica Chang of SWORD, who has come to make sure things go smoothly. Luis will also appear as a reference to Hank Pym being the team's leader in the comic, to provide comedic relief and give us all more Michael Peña.
  • X-Men: Baptism of Fire: a series that acts as a prequel to the first MCU X-Men film, based on the very earliest X-Men comics. This means that it'll feature Scott Summers/Cyclops, Bobby Drake/Iceman, Hank McCoy/Beast, Jean Grey/Marvel Girl, and Warren Worthington/Angel going on their very first missions under the direction of Charles Xavier/Professor X. Their first true battle would be against Magneto and be called the team's "baptism of fire" by Xavier, just like in the first issue of X-Men. With that story being told in a series instead of in the movies, the films can be a bit more creative about who gets the spotlight.
  • Paladin: A series focused on the exploits and cases of an elite mercenary/private investigator, the titular Paladin. He would firmly be an anti-hero and explore what life is like for an extraordinary person who purposefully keeps himself in a moral gray area. If the rumors about Charlie Cox returning as Daredevil are true, it'd also be awesome to see Daredevil act as a sort of Hero Antagonist to Paladin who eventually teams up with him.
  • Strange Tales: A second animated anthology series based on the multiple Marvel series of the same name. The series would be very varied; some episodes will be Horror focused, others will be about giant aliens, others will focus on Johnny Storm/The Human Torch, others will feature the respective introductions of the Bloodstone family and Brother Voodoo. Cloak and Dagger could return as well, and Nick Fury could appear in an episode too. Introducing each story will be none other than Doctor Strange himself, acting as a host and ending each episode with hinting at how the events of each will impact the MCU.
  • Destroyer: A show following Keen Marlow, an investigative journalist who was given Captain America-esque enhancements by one Dr. Eric Schmitt. After Schmitt was killed by Neo-Nazis, Keen became the Destroyer, a grimly garbed vigilante, to avenge his death. That would all be done in flashbacks, while the series proper will follow an aged Keen coming out of retirement to stop a new Neo-Nazi cell.
  • Mark Hazzard: Merc: Have you ever wondered what it's like to be a totally human soldier of fortune in the Marvel universe? Well, if you did, meet Marcus "Mark" Hazzard. In a world with crazy advanced sci-fi tech, superhuman powers, alien monsters and more, Mark is just a man with a few guns and knives just hoping he can make it back in time for dinner with his wife and son. As you may imagine, that's easier said than done.
  • The Thing: a spin-off of the Fantastic Four film, starring its iteration of Ben Grimm. It'll be either a solo adventure starring the hero in a thrilling adventure or the MCU's first straight up Romantic Comedy, focusing on Ben's budding romance with sculptor Alicia Masters. Or perhaps it'll be both, appealing to a wider audience.
  • Secret Warriors: A series the brings back Clark Gregg as Agent Coulson from the universe he is currently in. Him alongside his "secret warriors" he alludes to in Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., will have to fight a multiversal threat from the shadows, maybe Molecule Man.
  • Captain Universe: The story of the Captain Universe mantle being passed down to a new handle. It would be a great way to introduce the character to the MCU and is one of the few major characters that has not been touched so far.
  • Shadowland: A loose adaptation of the empyous comic. With Daredevil, The Punisher, Jessica Jones, Winter Soldier and Moon Knight out on the streets forced to fend for themselves, a limited team up mini-series. Would be a great way to bring Punisher and Jessica Jones back into the MCU.
  • Damage Control: Somewhat like the short lived DC Universe TV show Powerless. The backstory behind this series is that Tony Stark established the eponymous organization in the fallout of the Chitauri invasion. Like in the original comic series, the story would follow John Porter, a former freelance contractor who joins Damage Control and uses his talents in aid of the various rebuilding efforts.
  • Millie the Model: A series focused on the titular Millie, a pretty, good natured young lady who works as a fashion model in New York City for the Hanover Agency. There are no superheroes fighting the forces of dangerous villains, with the story being a romantic adventure with a mostly zany, humorous tone. The closest we get to a bad guy is Chili Storm, Millie's Friendly Rival who is a cousin of Susan and Johnny Storm, and even then it's nothing severe. The show will see Millie fumble her way through various lighthearted scenarios with her photographer love interest Clicker and Fat Best Friend Daisy. During all this, events more akin to a more typical MCU work can be seen in the background.
  • AXIS: a series that's very loosely inspired by the event comic of the same name. It'll be another animated series, set in the MCU's Mirror Universe, where the heroes are the villains and the villains are the heroes.
  • The Legion of Night: the dark adventures of an eclectic group brought together to fight occult threats.
  • Valkyrie: A Thor prequel series focused Valkyrie, here called by her given name Brunnhilde, and her sisters in arms' adventures and escapades throughout the Nine Realms from before they had to face Hela.
  • Night Thrasher: Since the New Warriors sitcom ended up not panning out, that frees up characters who were in that, such as Dwayne Taylor, aka Night Thrasher. This would be a more serious take on the character, focusing on his relationships with the Chords, particularly Silhouette and Midnight's Fire, his industrialist parents' ties to the Vietnam War, and how he builds his arsenal of tools, like his weaponized skateboard and Escrima sticks, for his vigilante work.
  • Jack of Hearts: A series focused on Jack Hart, a seemingly ordinary playing card enthusiast whose life changes forever when his scientist father is murdered by agents of a corporation trying to steal his experimental "zero fluid". Jack ends up getting exposed to it while trying, and failing, to save his father, and subsequently develops an array of superpowers, most notably the ability to shoot concussive blasts. Jack then dons a containment suit from his father's lab, decorates it in imagery meant to evoke the Jack of Hearts playing card, and sets out to become a superhero. His mission is to avenge his father by bringing down the leaders of the corporation that killed him, and maybe learn some secrets about the mother he never knew along the way.
  • The New Mutants: A Superhero Horror series focusing on the The Demon Bear Saga.
  • White Tiger: After her do-gooder older brother Hector is murdered, Ava Ayala finds something strange hidden away in his college dorm room; the mysterious Jade Tiger Amulets, which bond with Ava and grant her the superpowers of the White Tiger. Now she sets out to find Hector's killer, figure out why he had the amulets, and avenge him.
  • Hellcow: An animated Horror Comedy series starring Bessie, a cow from a Swiss farm who was turned into a vampire by none other than Dracula himself (unintentionally). She now wanders the Earth getting into adventures that only a bovine bloodsucker could.
  • Darkhold: The Book of the Damned: an anthology series focusing on those who have wielded, sought out, or were harmed by the Darkhold. Each episode will be set in a different time period, with there being a different main character in each episode, some being characters from the comics and others not. Each episode will open and end with the person who currently possesses the Darkhold reading from it.
  • The Saga of Crystar: An adaptation/reimagining of the obscure fantasy comic Saga of Crystar, Crystal Warrior. It is set on the alien world of Crystalium, where the valiant Prince Crystar leads the Crystal Warriors. Crystar and his allies, such as the warrior Warbow and handmaiden Ambara, fight against the forces of evil, such as the wizard Zardeth and Moltar, the brother of Crystar.
  • Luis for President: A satirical political comedy about Luis, through a series of hijinks, finding himself in the running to be elected the next President of the United States.
  • The Invaders: Loosely adapted from the comic books of the same name, but given a slight Setting Update, moving them from World War II to the early days of the Cold War. Members could include Namor (who's been rumored for a while), the android Human Torch (who had existence teased in a Freeze-Frame Bonus in Captain America: The First Avenger), James Falsworth (as Union Jack, possibly inspired by his friendship with Steve), Spitfire, and others.
  • Taskmaster: A Black Widow spin-off for Antonia Dreykov. It'll show us what's become of her following the Blip, long after the events of the film, most likely as a free agent taking a job to take out a very dangerous villain. Mercedes Merced could be included as Antonia's love interest (Being a streaming series, it wouldn't necessarily have to worry as much about it being banned in some countries).
  • Warlock: A Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 spin-off that'll show Will Poulter's Adam Warlock's adventures following the end of his debut film.
  • Black Knight: A miniseries featuring Dane Whitman taking up the Ebony Blade after the events of Eternals, interspersed with flashbacks delving more into Dane's family history. Other British supers could make brief appearances, and Lia McHugh could return as Sprite, possibly serving as The Watson regarding Dane's family history (and contributing some comic relief with her attempts to get used to being a normal human, with plenty of Phoneaholic Teenager antics). The series could also set up the appearance of Captain Britain down the line (most likely Brian Braddock, as he's the most famous of 616's Captains). Nathan Garrett, Dane's uncle, could serve as the Big Bad, or he could be The Atoner who helps Dane take on another threat (most likely dying in the process).
  • Sky-Devils: A miniseries set in the 1940s during World War II. It'll follow the Sky-Devils, a secret international team of fighter pilots, consisting of the mysterious American operative "K-4", the skilled French fighter René Dauvergne, and the rich British actor turned soldier Ronald Wolverstone-Clodd. To make the team less homogenous, one of them will be given a Race Lift and they'll end up accepting a female pilot into their group. Their mission in the series will be to fight against a cell of Hydra agents.
  • 2099: In a similar manor to 1602 up top, a series involving around the future heroes of the Marvel Universe.
  • Contest of Champions: The Grandmaster somehow captures and forces several heroes to fight one another. One half of the abductees are previously established characters, while the other half are international heroes making their debut in the show. The first few episodes would be no more than fun battles with commentary from the Grandmaster, before the later episodes show the heroes teaming up to free themselves from the titular Contest, much to their captor's hilarious dismay.
  • Truth: Red, White, and Black: A spin-off to The Falcon and the Winter Soldier that is an adaptation of the comic of the same name. It'll show how Isaiah Bradley first became a super soldier and show how he was used and abused by the American military in greater detail. His clash with Bucky as the Winter Soldier will be shown.
  • Korg: an animated series starring Korg, who's backpacking across Europe and getting into misadventures with Miek and ordinary people who'll rarely ever acknowledge that Korg is an alien rock guy.
  • The Making of Shadow Warrior 3: An Eternals spin-off. It's an in-universe behind-the-scenes special about the filming of Shadow Warrior 3, the Bollywood film series that Kingo starred in. It'd be rife with Stylistic Suck.
  • Scarlet Scarab: A Moon Knight spin-off that would see Layla come to embrace being the first Egyptian superhero in the MCU. The plot would naturally followup on some elements of Moon Knight, but it would mostly be a more conventional superhero story that'd see her having to deal with criminal or even military antagonists (Raul Bushman perhaps?), thus distracting her from the situation with Jake Lockley. Taweret would also make a couple of appearances, possibly to allow there to be scenes with Layla's father as well.
  • America Chavez through the Multiverse of Madness: An animated Prequel spin-off to Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness. It would be a miniseries would show a handful of America's previous travels through the Multiverse in detail, expand upon her childhood and her moms, and end by showing how she ended up in the company of Defender Strange. His home universe would one of the ones we see, possibly last. During it all, America would be being pursued by the monsters (including Gargantos and a couple others) tasked by Wanda with capturing her. It would end with a Flash Forward to just after the events of the movie.
  • Black Bolt: A series following Blackagar Boltagon, with Anson Mount reprising his role. Rather than being about the Earth-838 version from Multiverse of Madness, this would follow the proper MCU Black Bolt, but now with the costume from the film. The maligned ''Inhumans would be mostly ignored, with its events only being alluded to lightly (having occurred in Broad Strokes). The show would only sparsely feature the other Inhumans and be mostly inspired on the title character's solo series from 2017.
  • New Asgard: a (possibly short form) workplace comedy set in New Asgard, Norway. It would be about the office staff who work for King Valkyrie, including Miek, having to deal with political office shenanigans with a Mundane Fantastic bend. Tessa Thompson's King Valkyrie would be The Ghost, as an homage to the unseen POTUS in Veep, though it'd be more like Parks and Recreation in terms of tone.
  • Avengers Academy: One of the more experienced heroes of The MCU (either Rhodey, Pym or Banner) decide they should train a new generation of Young Heroes, and create The Avengers Academy. It would be your standard high school series but they're all superheroes and in the MCU, characters featured in the series would include Repil, Hazmat, Mettle and Finesse.
  • Agents of S.W.O.R.D.: A Spiritual Successor to Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. that would focus on a team of S.W.O.R.D. agents dealing with preternatural threats to the public. Just like SHIELD, the main cast would consist of mostly characters made for the show, though with a handful of comics characters mixed in. One prominent character would be Tyler Hayward's replacement following his arrest at the end of WandaVision. Unlike SHIELD, appearances from characters originating from the movies (or even other shows) would be a more common sight. It could also follow up on potential plot threads from The Marvels, since Monica is a lead in that film.
    • Alternatively, Agents of A.T.L.A.S could also be a Spiritual Successor of Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. but with more basis in comics following the preestablished team, seeing Jimmy Woo team up with a mix of team members from the Original and New comic counterparts. This show would be the MCU debut of characters like Gorilla Man and White Fox.
  • Death's Head: A series following a version of the powerful "freelance peace-keeping" robot who winds up stranded in the Marvel Cinematic Universe and having to face numerous questionable forces that discover him and want to reverse engineer his body for their own wicked machinations.
  • Night Raven: The story of the eponymous Night Raven, a near immortal, gun toting vigilante. It follows how he became locked in an endless rivalry with the sinister, sadistic Yi Yang, the very woman who made him more than a mere human for her own entertainment and pleasure.
  • The Living Mummy!: A series following the reemergence of N'Kantu, who menaces the modern world before becoming a bit more of an Anti-Hero who will encounter Ghost Rider and the Helstroms. His past life as an African prince enslaved by the ancient Egyptians will be told in flashbacks, with viewpoint characters investigating the cursed walking corpse's origins after witnessing his aforementioned rise.
  • The Blip: A show chronicling the life of several people during the five years in which the population of the world had been halved by Thanos.
  • Man-Thing: A series following the mysterious creature as it protects the Nexus of All Realties, while largely ignoring the previous allusions from Agents of SHIELD, but acknowledging that he is a former champion of Sakaar.
  • Brother Voodoo: A series following young occultist Jericho Drumm as he gains powers to destroy demonic villains.
  • Conan The Barbarian: More likely to be a movie, but c'mon, Marvel owns the rights now, do you think they wouldn't make something for him.
    • While they have reacquired the comic book rights. The film and TV rights are a whole different can of worms. In fact, Millennium Films even has a Red Sonja film in the works.
  • League of Realms: A show set after Thor: Love and Thunder. Following the events of the film, a potential new threat rises in a sect of surviving Dark Elves who plan to revive Malekith using a magic artifact. To stop them, Sif recruits skilled individuals from across the Nine Realms to form a team dubbed the League of Realms, taking the positions as founder and leader from the currently absent Thor and the deceased Jane. The other members could consist of the Dwarf dynamite nut Screwbeard, the Vanir wizard Ro Bloodroot, the Light Elf gunslinger Ivory Honeyshot, the Rock Troll warrior Ud, and, lastly, the Dark Elf survivor Waziria, who wants to prevent Malekith's return most of all.
  • Quasar: A series that would focus on the Cosmic side of things (on a smaller scale) and introduce either Wendell Vaughn or Phyla-Vell as Quasar. If it's the latter, it would have Vaughn be a Posthumous Character and it would largely focus on the reimagined backstory Phyla-Vell would need to have to fit into the MCU continuity and her efforts to master the power of the Quantum Bands. If it's about the former, it would skip Wendell's origin story for the most part and focus on him fighting a threat to Earth out in the space, with Phyla-Vell relegated to a supporting character. He could also be depicted as gay to make him a bit more similar to his successors.
  • Power Pack: Marvel has had the idea to adapt The Power Pack a few times, and Disney+ looks like the place they will go to experiment with ideas. Power Pack will follow The Power siblings after gaining their powers from a dying alien. The show could then follow a Monster of the Week format where they fight obscure Marvel villains with comic hijinks ensuing. The series will probably be 9 episodes long.
  • Songbird: A series that would follow Melissa Gold, and first see her as the villain Screaming Mimi before taking up the mantle of Songbird in an effort to help people. The show would probably focus on themes of reformation and struggle. The villain would probably be someone like Mister X or The Scourge of The Underworld.
  • Alpha Flight: A series that would introduce and focus on Canada's Premier Superhero Team: The Alpha Flight. Members of the comic book Alpha Flight that could be on the team in the show include Guardian, Talisman, Snowbird, Puck, Sasquatch, Aurora, Northstar and Vindicator. The villain of the show will likely be Wendigo.
  • Voyager: A series following Va Nee Gast, the daughter of The Grandmaster and hero known as Voyager. It would probably take elements from the Avenger: No Surrender storyline, with the memories of Earth being altered to where they would think Voyager was always one of their heroes. At first she'd a be a spy for The Elders of The Universe or Celestials but eventually would be genuinely inspired by the people of Earth and would turn against them, becoming an actual hero.
  • Order of The Shield: A variation of Jonathan Hickman's SHIELD run, The Order of The Shield would see the "real" Shield emerge in the MCU as the Ancient Science cabal seen in Hickman's run. Historical Domain Characters like Leonardo da Vinci, Isaac Newton and Nostradamus would have significant focus along with the return of Agent Coulson.

The Disney+ side of things is setting up Young Avengers
Let's look at the lineup so far:
  • Hawkeye: Already confirmed to have Kate Bishop starring.
  • Loki: Could easily lead to young Loki manifesting somewhere in time and space thanks to Loki's shenanigans.
    • Confirmed. A young Loki Variant appears in the series.
  • WandaVision: It's been said that things are going to get weird in this show. It could potentially introduce Billy and Tommy, and justify them being teens by now with magical shenanigans.
    • Alternately, the show might incorporate elements from Vision's 2015 maxi-series and introduce Viv Vision.
    • A shot from the Super Bowl TV spot shows Vision and Wanda standing in front of two cribs, lending further credence to the theory that it's setting up Billy and Tommy.
    • Confirmed: Billy and Tommy appear in WandaVision. They cease to exist at the end of the series, but The Stinger suggests that they might be reincarnated down the line like their comic book counterparts.
  • The Falcon and the Winter Soldier: The villain looks to be Zemo, and we all know how much he loves drudging up secrets from the past for his owns means. His plans could lead to the discovery of Isiah Bradley and the darker side of Project: Rebirth, which in turn could lead to Eli Bradley coming out of the woodwork.
    • Confirmed, both Isaiah and Eli Bradley appear in the series.
Furthermore, Cassie has already been established in the Ant-Man films. The only major characters left to introduce are Nate and Teddy. Teddy could show up in a Captain Marvel film or perhaps a Disney+ series about the Skrulls (possibly Secret Invasion?). Nate doesn't necessarily need his own spinoff, as his arrival is what starts the original comic anyways.
  • Not just in the Disney+ series: Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness is set to introduce America Chavez, while Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania will feature Kang the Conqueror, who's the future version of Iron Lad. Kang also makes a surprise appearance at the end of Loki. So a Young Avengers film or series somewhen in Phase 4 or 5 is definitely not to be excluded.

A reformed HYDRA will be the villain of Falcon and Winter Soldier
Red Skull is free from his obligations on Vormir, and Jack Rollins and Mitchell Carson are still at large. Additionally, Bucky would have a personal grudge with Red Skull, and Falcon a personal grudge with Jack Rollins.
  • They've already teased Baron Zemo as the villain.
  • Fully jossed - the show has the Flag-Smashers as its main villains, with Zemo (who spends part of the series in an Enemy Mine with the leads) as a secondary antagonist and the Power Broker as a Greater-Scope Villain.

The Hulu shows will have a crossover miniseries, a loose adaptation of Midnight Sons
Nico Minoru would take the magic user spot from Doctor Strange, Robbie Reyes will take the place of the other Ghost Riders, and Daimon would take his canon role (possibly alongside his sister) and fully become Hellstorm. A villain from each series will have been recruited by Lilith, Mother of All Demons, to help her commit a great atrocity. This will somehow result in the other "Runaways" being captured or incapacitated, so Nico will use magic to draw Robbie and Daimon to the threat of Lilith.

The Leader will officially debut in She-Hulk.
Hey, it's the best way to follow up on that plot thread.

The Falcon and the Winter Soldier will introduce Contessa Valentina Allegra de Fontaine

The experiment that leads to the Fantastic Four's creation will be an attempt by Reed Richards to reverse Thanos' snap.

There'll be a line of X-Men adjacent miniseries
There were a lot of groups and characters who were never used in the original film series. While the MCU will definitely be have its attention on the X-Men first and foremost when it comes to the mutants, a cosmic group like the Starjammers, other mutant hero teams like Excalibur and Generation X and even an antagonist organization like the Hellfire Club have a lot of potential for interesting stories that would expand the universe. There could also be series that place the focus on a single X-Men member.

Since Armor Wars will most likely introduce new characters, let's guess. who they'll be
  • Villains
    • Kondrati Topolov/Titanium Man: In the MCU, Topolov will be a regular looking man who has never gone by Gremlin.
    • David Roberts/Firepower: Roberts will be the MCU's Firepower since Iron Man 3 already used the original as an unarmored villain.
    • Wilbur Day/Stilt-Man: He could be the first of those with Tony's stolen tech that Rhodey tangles with. Daredevil could even make a cameo.
    • Galina Nemirovskaya/Crimson Dynamo: Using her could allow us to have a female villain, which they may want to do if they still include Titanium Man.
      • Black Widow makes a reference to Crimson Dynamo through Yelena Belova calling Red Guardian by that name.
    • Guardsman: Really, it could be any guy in there. Heck, it could be multiple guys in identical suits who just acts as cannon fodder.
    • Desmond and/or Phoebe Marrs, who appeared in the comics' Armor Wars II, could take Justin Hammer's place if he doesn't return.
    • Arthur Parks/Living Laser
    • Zeke Stane: He could possibly be the Big Bad who uses Tony's old armors to avenge his father Obadiah, and Rhodey has to stop Zeke while preserving his old friend's legacy.
    • Gregor Shapanka/Blizzard/Jack Frost
  • Heroes
    • Walter Newell/Stingray: It'd be nifty if they still included him and I don't see why they wouldn't. Stingray could be an ally to Rhodey after the latter realizes he wasn't really using stolen Stark tech and become a new supporting character in the movies.
    • Riri Williams/Ironheart: Depending on the release dates of Ironheart and Armor Wars, Riri could make an Early-Bird Cameo somehow.
    • Jocasta: Feeling he needs his own J.A.R.V.I.S. or F.R.I.D.A.Y., Rhodey will dig up the J.O.C.A.S.T.A. program and put it in his armor. Later, she could take over a spare, all silver-y Rescue armor to, well, rescue Rhodey while he's in peril. This armor will then get upgraded later, perhaps outside of Armor Wars into a full body for Jocasta to inhabit.
  • Others
    • Su Yin: an obscure Iron Man supporting character. Perhaps she could be reimagined as a love interest for Rhodey.
    • Bambina Arbogast: an employee at Stark Industries.
    • Rumiko Fujikawa: She'll be brought back from the cutting room floor of Iron Man 2 as an ally of Rhodey for this.
    • H.O.M.E.R.: Rhodey's new A.I. helper, voiced by Dan Castellaneta.
    • Pending Sony's co-operation, Abner "Abe" Jenkins, either as a villain under the Beetle alias, a hero under the Mach X title, or starting as Beetle and pulling a Heel–Face Turn into Mach X. Would also set him up to appear in Thunderbolts, which the MCU is clearly heading towards with Val's team.

The Big Bad of Ironheart will be Tomoe, the Techno Golem
Differences for the character in the MCU would include Tomoe having a proper family name, her ninja minions being replaced by mercenaries in Mandroid armor, and her having a personal vendetta and history of some kind with Riri.

In either Armour Wars or Ironheart Tony Stark will return as an AI.
  • Before even creating Iron Man in the MCU Tony was already an AI expert, having already created J.A.R.V.I.S., furthermore the fact is that the only possible way the suits work is some kind of BCI, it is possible that at some point Tony used that technology to make a copy of his neural network, to work into a form of rebirth as AI, not to mention that Tony being reborn as AI has precident in the comics, according to the Marvel Wiki there have been no less than 4 Tony A.I.s in earth 616, not to mention Mainframe from MC 2. Of particular note is the third AI, which served as a mentor to Riri while the real Tony was comatose.

We will get a series centered around Ronan the Accuser
Particularly, the Ronan from the 2014 timeline visited in Endgame. Given how that timeline's Thanos and his army traveled to the future (with Thanos and Nebula being killed and Gamora remaining there), the Guardians of the Galaxy never formed in the new 2014 timeline, allowing Ronan's life to be spared. This series could focus on Ronan's backstory as an Accuser and his actions now that he's on his own, and could potentially set him up to appear in the MCU's prime timeline later down the line.
  • Or alternatively, it'll fill in the gap between Captain Marvel and Guardians of the Galaxy by showing how Ronan left the Kree and joined Thanos. We could even get a cameo from Carol to fufill the promised offscreen battle between them.

We'll get a Brick Joke of sorts
  • ...in that Jessica Jones and Daredevil return, plus Snowflake from Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. who went to an uncertain doom.

Potential future Special Presentations
  • The Winter Guard: A special that'd introduce the titular Russian superhero team. It could be a Period Piece set during the Cold War or be about a contemporary group inspired by a failed attempt by the USSR to make a team of special agents. Red Guardian may be Adapted Out due to Alexi's role in the MCU, like his confirmed inclusion in Thunderbolts.
  • Throg: Frog of Thunder: A special that'd properly introduce Throg after his cameo in Loki. It'd star Puddlegup, a seemingly common frog living in Central Park who gains the power of Thor and defend the park goers and other animals from a Thor villain. His backstory as the cursed human Simon Walterson would only be hinted at.
  • Stingray: A maritime/underwater adventure featuring Walter Newell, a brilliant oceanographer who uses a manta ray-inspired armor suit. While exploring the depths of the sea for his villainous brother-in-law Tiger Shark, he could encounter denizens of Talocan who could prove to be friend or foe.
  • Kid Kaiju: A short story about Kei Kawade, who will be retconned to come into possession of a magic sketchbook that can summon any creature drawn in it. The book will be linked to supernatural elements of the MCU.
  • Cloud 9: A short about Abigail Boylen, an aspiring aviator who wants to use her powers to explore the world. She would eventually get into contact with a contingent of skrulls who want to impersonate her and would wind up fighting them off
  • Muderworld: A group of normal people of varying ages and backgrounds find themselves in a bizarre and hellish theme park full of deadly traps. They were all abducted by the flamboyant, ruthless, and game loving hitman Arcade, who tells them only one of them that only the last one left standing will be let go. Our protagonists are the ones who realize that he's lying and intends to kill them all regardless.

Halloween Special Presentations will become an annual tradition
They'll feature either Elsa Bloodstone or Man-Thing or both appearing throughout each of them. The specials will eventually lead up to a movie about either Elsa or Man-Thing.

Potential future Halloween Special Presentations
  • Tomb of Dracula: This will be Dracula's introduction into the MCU and he'll be a Villain Antagonist squaring off against a team of vampire hunters. This will set up the upcoming Blade movie.
  • The Living Mummy: A group of archaeologists stumble upon an ancient tomb and unwittingly release the cursed figure known as N'Kantu. But will this dread being be their enemy or their savior?
  • The Monster of Frankenstein: Doctor Frankenstein has crafted an inhuman monster from the corpses of the dead, proving his scientific brilliance. But when the monster begins to rampage against the innocent famed monster hunter Ulysses Bloodstone battles the creature for the safety of humanity.
  • Straw Man, Dead of Night: A brother and sister purchase a strange painting of a scarecrow. But soon odd happenings occur and it seems the scarecrow has left his picture to come to life. But is this Straw Man there to menace them or protect them from the unknowable?
  • Terror Inc.: A grotesque figure stalks the city's streets at night, tearing apart the bodies of the criminals who walk the night. But is this figure merely an avenging force or is there perhaps something more noble to them?
  • Tale of the Zombie: Business owner Simon Garth is captured by a voodoo cult and made into a zombie under their command. But these cultists soon learn that the dark powers hold far less gain and far more cost then they could ever realize.
  • Marvel Zombies: A scientific experiment gone wrong tears open the wall between realities, allowing undead versions of Earth's Mightiest Heroes to attack the world. Can anyone stop this unstoppable force?
  • The Incredible Hulk Meets The Missing Link: Bruce Banner is called in to investigate the destruction caused by a mysterious creature... one not seen since the times of the prehistoric. Banner endeavors to stop this engine of carnage but soon finds this may be one enemy even the Hulk can't hope to survive.
  • Wolverine vs. the Wendigo: Logan agrees to do a favor for the Canadian government, investigating a lab that went quiet weeks ago. But his search for answers will soon lead him to cross paths with something that has savagery surpassing his own.
  • The Machine Man: Dr. Able Stack has achieved a breakthrough on his robotics research, creating a fully sentient machine being. But when his mysterious backers announce their intentions to use this "Machine Man" as a weapon for their own ends, death quickly strikes. Could the cold machine have chosen murder to save itself? Or is this the work of something far more natural?

Potential future Christmas/Holiday Special Presentations
  • Marvel Zombies: A Christmas Carol: An adaptation of Zombies Christmas Carol, set in the main MCU but still in the traditional Victorian Era London. Like with the comic, it'd be a fairly straightforward adaptation outside of the presence of the undead. Unlike the comic, there'd be references to Marvel Universe lore, mostly in the form of small aesthetic details like how magic energy looks or a Long-Lived character making a background cameo.

Potential future Spotlight series
  • Rage: Teenager Elvin Haliday becomes a vigilante known as Rage in order to protect his community from Bart Gallows, a racist ex-cop who has christened himself the "hero" Americop as an excuse to abuse and harass young black men. By standing up against Gallows, Rage becomes a symbol of change, but not without heavy personal sacrifice for Elvin.

Alternative Title(s): MCU Disney Plus And Hulu Series
