Every Marvel & Star Wars Project Coming to Disney+ in May 2025

What's on Disney+ confirmed the five projects from Marvel and Star Wars that will be released in May 2025.

Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse

The one Marvel project coming to Disney+ this May is one with a couple of years of traction under its belt, Sony Pictures' Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse. This is the second film in the Spider-Verse trilogy, centered on Shameik Moore's Miles Morales, Hailee Steinfeld's Gwen Stacy, and a plethora of multiversal web-slingers.

Initially released in theaters in June 2023, Across the Spider-Verse earned rave reviews and grossed over $680 million at the global box office.

This sequel threw Miles directly into a fully multiversal adventure, in which he met an entire society of Spider-people highlighted by Oscar Isaac's Spider-Man 2099. He then learned of canon events as his universe faced imminent danger, all while trying to figure out how to be a hero.

Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse will be available to stream on Disney+ on Thursday, May 1.

Star Wars: Tales Of The Underworld

Featuring over half a dozen veteran Star Wars voice actors, Tales of the Underworld will highlight the criminal underbelly of this universe through the eyes of Asajj Ventress and Cad Bane. Ventress will embrace an opportunity for a new life while Cad Bane takes on the responsibility of being a Marshal.

This new six-episode series will make its way to Disney+ in full on Sunday, May 4 to celebrate Star Wars Day (May the Fourth).
