Marvel TV shows: Disney announces release months for 'Falcon and Winter Soldier' and 'WandaVision'

Disney has announced when fans can expect to see its Marvel TV shows focused on characters, including Falcon and Scarlet Witch.

Three new series have been in the works for years now and the first glimpse at the end product was released during Super Bowl LIV last weekend.

It’s been unknown when exactly these shows will be dropping on Disney+, but CEO Bob Iger has now revealed in a call with investors the month that each will arrive.

The Falcon and the Winter Soldier, focused on characters played by Anthony Mackie and Sebastian Stan in the MCU, will arrive in August, while WandaVision – which stars Elizabeth Olsen and Paul Bettany – will follow in December.

The latter will serve as a prequel to Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, the big-screen follow-up to Scott Derrickson’s 2016 hit. Derrickson recently stepped down as director.

Next year will see Tom Hiddleston’s Loki take centre stage in his own series, but there’s no word on which month in 2020 fans will be able to see it just yet.

Away from the Marvel universe, Iger announced that The Mandalorianand baby Yoda – will be returning for its second season in October.
