Disney's making 10 Star Wars and 10 Marvel TV shows

Spider-man: Freshman Year, huh? Better put Uncle Ben's corpse on defrost, he's going to need to go another round.

Maybe it means freshman year of college?

According to the article linked last page, it's "an animated series that follows Peter Parker on his way to becoming Spider-Man in the MCU". So, prequel.

The only one that actually seems or sounds interesting to me is the Secret Wars.

Why make it a series instead of a movie though?

Well, I guess the series will have more time to develop...would have been great to have it as a movie trilogy or duology instead through.

Did I imagine reading somewhere that the art style for Spider-man: Freshman Year will be drawing inspiration from Steve Ditko's work on Spider-man?

It's hard to know how and why they're making these decisions, especially with the dynamics of theatrical release vs direct-to-streaming what they are right now. The suspense and implications Secret Invasion could be very cool over the course of a couple to several movies, but maybe it would risk sucking the life out of some stuff, too. Those mysteries and reveals might be better to do sort of done-in-one (-series), so it's over with.

Echo is interesting to me mainly for the representation - I honestly don't know much about the character in the comics.

Moon Knight I've been excited about since the initial announcements, and if one can judge from a pre-teaser, it looks pretty cool.

More Kathryn Hahn is great in everything I've seen her in, so more House of Harkness could be a lot of fun, and another chance to explore the magic side of the MCU, particularly in the wake of Dr. Strange 2.

She/Hulk is the one I'm scratching my head about the most, just because I don't have a feel for the tone yet. I can't help but notice that it's not "She-Hulk", but "She/Hulk".

COVID.

Disney are uncertain as to what extent movie going will bounce back, and don't want to put too many eggs in the blockbuster movie basket.

Yeah looks like the days of 200-300 million dollar blockbusters are over at least short term.

Do we know what the Star Wars shows are?

I really wish that an across being toxic didn’t tank the show she was going to be in.

Just had an idea for a thread, actually…

Book of Boba Fett, Mandalorian 3, Andor, Kenobi, Ahsoka, Bad Batch 2. Those are the ones in the "started filming" stage. Other things, like the Lando series, are still in planning, and therefore may not make it out the box.

Assuming that you are referring to Rangers of the New Republic, it is no longer in active production. My understanding is that it was going to have a prominent role for Cara Dune and so that is no longer happening, at least not as it was originally envisioned.

That one I'm kind-of fine with. The character was great, but it's not like Republic Ranger was a classic Star Wars archetype.
