The majority of Marvel Studios' projects, to date, have been live-action. In fact,  What If...?  currently resides as the only animated series to join the roster. The Disney+ series followed Jeffery Wright's Watcher as he looked over various alternate timelines until it culminated in the cosmic being needing to form a group of heroes to take on a Multiversal threat in Infinity Ultron. When the first season streamed last year, the creatives behind the scenes weren't shy in revealing that a Season 2 was on the way and that they hoped to get it out by 2022. Since then, there hasn't been much in the way of new information. ADVERTISEMENT Coming into the new year, Disney+ released a sizzle reel that showcased all of the upcoming projects coming to the service within the year.

Disney+ Reveals Promising Update for Deadpool and MCU's R-Rated Future

Image
In February 2020, Marvel Studios proclaimed  "the universe is expanding"  ahead of their extension of original content on Disney+. The pandemic would put those plans on pause, but once 2021 rolled around, the Marvel Cinematic Universe would dominate social conversation for the full calendar year. Even during the theater drought, the success of shows like  WandaVision  and  The Falcon and the Winter Soldier  allowed for the MCU to remain at the top of Hollywood's hierarchy.  Marvel Studios will continue their streaming surge in 2022, as the franchise is set to debut shows for rookie characters like Oscar Isaac's Moon Knight and Iman Vellani's Ms. Marvel. Before those originals hit the small screen, the Marvel branch of Disney+ is getting a significant boost of new content.

Spider-Man's Madame Web Spin-Off Movie Gets Promising Update

Image
Sony Pictures is in the midst of a theatrical Spider mania across the globe. Not only is  Spider-Man: No Way Home  breaking records worldwide, but the studio also has plans to re-release last year's  Venom: Let There Be Carnage  to further satiate Spidey fans. And that isn't all. Sony has made it well-known that it plans to continue its efforts to expand its theatrical wall-crawling horizons by exploring characters elsewhere in the Spider-Verse, like Kraven the Hunter, Morbius, and Madame Web.  This mindset of keeping Peter Parker proper in the MCU while exploring solo movies centered on characters of the wider Spidey canon has proven fruitful for Sony Pictures thus far, with the  Venom  franchise being a resounding success.  ADVERTISEMENT Of these spin spinoffs, one of the most mysterious has been the  Madame Web  movie by filmmaker S.J. Clarkson. The project still has not made any casting announcement public, but names like Charlize Theron and ...
