Disney+ Shows First Looks at New Spider-Man, X-Men, Groot, and Marvel Zombies Animated Series

Disney+ debuted at San Diego Comic-Con 2022 (SDCC) and gave Marvel fans a whole slew of shows to look forward to. This marked Marvel Studios' first appearance at the event in three years, and they delivered.

Marvel Studios has officially revealed the first looks of all new original animated series coming to Disney+ on Twitter. "Spider-Man: Freshman Year" is slated for release in 2024, "X-Men '97" will arrive in fall 2023, season two of "What If...?" releases in early 2023, among other announcements like "Marvel Zombies" and the very adorable "I Am Groot" trailer.

The Disney+ Animation Panel at SDCC highlights the streamer's dedication to the animated original series that many subscribers love as well as its commitment to continuing the Marvel franchise.

The studio has shared new information about 'Spider-Man: Freshman Year', such as the second season titled 'Spider-Man: Sophomore Year'. It was also reported that the prequel series will have an appearance from Charlie Cox, who plays Daredevil. This makes sense because (spoiler, sorry) Matt Murdock's character was shown in a post-credits scene in "Spider-Man: No Way Home".

There were also rumors of recognizable villains appearing in the new Spider-Man series, such as Dr. Octavius, Chameleon, Speed ​​Demon, Scorpion, Butane the Pyromaniac, Harry Osborn, and Amadeus Cho.

Last year, "What if...?" premiered an episode titled "What If… Zombies?", introducing the concept of zombies to the Marvel Cinema Universe. The original "Marvel Zombies" animated series is now official and will explore the undead side of superheroes. It will premiere exclusively on Disney+. No release date has been announced.

Originally released in 1992, "X-Men: The Animated Series" had 76 episodes before being canceled in 1997. This new version called "X-Men '97" promises to be a return of mutant superheroes which is sure to fill the hearts of many 90s kids who grew up with the series.

The company then unveiled the trailer for “I Am Groot,” the collection of five original shorts premiering on August 10. This will be the only "Guardians of the Galaxy" spin-off premiering in 2022.

Disney+ announced yesterday that "Deadpool", "Deadpool 2" and "Logan" were appearing on the platform. This may require parents to correct their parental control settings due to R ratings, while others may now host a Wade Wilson and Wolverine marathon.

Unrelated to Marvel, Disney+ also released a short teaser for "National Treasure: Edge of History", which sadly had no sign of Nicolas Cage but will feature a new character Jess, played by Lisette Olivera. The show also had its own panel at Comic-Con.
