All The Big Marvel And Star Wars (And ‘Avatar 2’!) Announcements From Disney’s D23 Expo

Following a flurry of Walt Disney Animation and Pixar announcements, D23 returned for day two with another big-time studio showcase: the Marvel Studios, Lucasfilm, and 20th Century Studios panel, which included previews of upcoming movies and shows.

Here they are, including release dates (or years) when applicable:

–Andor (September 21), the Rogue One prequel that will last 24 episodes over two seasons

–Tales of the Jedi (October 26), an animated series comprised of six shorts, three about Ahsoka, three about Dooku

–The Bad Batch (January 4, 2023), season two of the animated series

–Ahsoka (2023), Rosario Dawson’s Ahsoka Tano gets her own Obi Wan-style showcase

–Skeleton Crew (2023), about a group of kids (“but it is not a kids show,” according to creator Jon Watts) who get lost in the Star Wars galaxy; also, Jude Law!

–The Mandalorian (2023), the season three teaser has Baby Yoda and Babu Frik (or maybe a different Anzellan My apologies to the Anzellan community). What more do you need

–Indiana Jones 5 (June 30, 2023), a teaser was screened (but not released to the public) and it looks promising — Harrison Ford’s age is tied into the theme of the film, and director James Mangold seems to have effectively balanced nostalgia and a new pulp-style adventure. Phoebe Waller-Bridge will provide the comedic relief.

–Black Panther: Wakanda Forever (November 11), two clips were shown: Angela Bassett’s Ramonda telling off a room of politicians for why she doesn’t share Wakanda’s precious Vibranium while Danai Gurira as Okoye and Michaela Coel as Aneka kick the butts of some gun-toting goons, and a new action-focused teaser that once again ends with a shot of Black Panther without revealing the hero’s identity

–Ironheart (2023), a genius teenager (Dominique Thorne) builds an Iron Man-like suit

–Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania (Febuary 17, 2023), the trailer isn’t “coming out for awhile,” according to Kevin Feige, but it was shown at D23. In the footage, Scott Lang (Paul Rudd), Hope van Dyne (Evangeline Lilly), Hank Pym (Michael Douglas), Janet van Dyne (Michelle Pfeiffer), and Cassie Lang (Kathryn Newton) enter the Quantum Realm, where they encounter Bill Murray (not the actual Bill Murray, sadly, but a character played by him) and Jonathan Majors’ scene-stealing Marvel baddie Kang. But the best part of the clip: the “you have no good car ideas” guy from I Think You Should Leave calls Ant-Man “Spider-Man.” Put him in every Marvel movie.

–Werewolf By Night (October 7), the special starring Gael Garcia Bernal and Laura Donnelly is a throwback to black-and-white monster movies
