NYCC 2025 - All Announcements From The Marvel Television And Animation Panel

At New York Comic-Con last weekend, Marvel hosted an eventful panel featuring fresh trailers and confirmed premiere dates for its forthcoming television lineup. Here’s a breakdown of all the key announcements.

Wonder Man

Release Date: January 27, 2026

Yahya Abdul-Mateen II and Sir Ben Kingsley treated fans to an exclusive first look at the new trailer, which you can watch below. The series follows Simon Williams (Abdul-Mateen), a struggling actor determined to land the lead role in a blockbuster reboot of the classic superhero film Wonder Man. Directed by Destin Daniel Cretton, the eight-episode series will premiere on Disney+ after the holidays.

Abdul-Mateen shared his excitement with the crowd during the panel:

As an actor, there's so much that goes into it. There's vulnerability, there's ego, there's hopes and dreams, there's ambition, there's the lonely road. As Simon, I get to walk that fine line and experience all of that. I'm really excited to share Simon's journey towards achieving his dream.

Vision Quest is a series that has been in the works for quite some time. Marvel announced earlier this year that the show was in development with Paul Bettany and James Spader returning as Vision and Ultron in the series.

An early exclusive trailer offered a glimpse of White Vision (last seen in WandaVision) entering a mysterious mansion, where he encounters several AI entities, including Tony Stark’s creations F.R.I.D.A.Y. and E.D.I.T.H. It was also confirmed that James D’Arcy will reprise his role as Jarvis from Marvel’s Agent Carter. The trailer concludes with a brief shot of Ruaridh Mollica in a CCTV recording, identified as Thomas Shepherd, better known to comic fans as Speed, the son of Wanda and Vision.

Paul Bettany revealed what to expect from the show on stage:

What’s different about Vision right now is that Red Vision gave Vision all of his memories, including the memories from within the Hex. But White Vision is having real difficulty connecting to them. So he has the memories, but he doesn’t have the emotions and the feelings, and I think that’s what the journey is. White Vision’s journey during the show is about his attempt to connect to those memories and who he was… but with lasers!

An official announcement following the panel also revealed the additional: Henry Lewis as D.U.M.-E, Jonathan Sayer as U, Orla Brady as F.R.I.D.A.Y., and Emily Hampshire as E.D.I.T.H.

It seems Marvel is finding their groove in the television department and fans can expect to see some interesting projects hit Disney Plus next year.
