On top of Halloween, October 2023 will bring a quartet of exciting new entries on Disney+ from both the Marvel universe and the Star Wars galaxy.
2023 has been another major year for both of Disney’s biggest franchises, with the MCU and Star Wars both combining to bring nearly half a dozen new streaming entries for fans to enjoy.
On top of its theatrical releases, Marvel took to Disney+ to deliver Secret Invasion in the summer along with another new entry coming soon, although a couple of projects were forced into delays until next year.
On the other hand, Star Wars has brought plenty of thrills thus far with The Mandalorian Season 3, Young Jedi Adventures, and The Bad Batch Season 2 along with episodes of one final show continuing for a few more weeks.
Marvel and Star Wars’ Run on Disney+ in October
Disney+ shared an official press release confirming the four projects from Marvel and Star Wars that will debut on the service in October 2023.
1.) Loki
After more than two years away from the small screen, Tom Hiddleston’s Loki will make his return in Loki Season 2 this October.
