Marvel, Star Wars, and more from Disney are expected to take center stage in announcements from the studio's 2025 Upfront presentation. The year has already come and gone with multiple projects from the entertainment giant, some successful and some not, but there are no plans to stop releasing new stories anytime soon.
Disney's 2025 Upfront presentation will take place on Tuesday, May 13, at 4 p.m. ET, according to a press release shared by ABC. The presentation is expected to run for about two hours and will premiere many first details on what will come from the studio's biggest franchises for the rest of 2025 and beyond.
Looking at previous years, Disney used the 2024 Upfront event to show off a new trailer for 2025's Daredevil: Born Again. That trailer included a key nod to Daredevil's appearance in 2021's Spider-Man: No Way Home, where he called himself "a really good lawyer."
Last year also brought some disappointing news from that presentation, which indicated that Ironheart's release on Disney+ had been delayed until 2025.
Thus far, Marvel and Star Wars have both released major streaming projects on Disney+ in early 2025.
Marvel kicked off the year with Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man and Daredevil: Born Again, the latter of which became a big hit. Meanwhile, Star Wars ended Andor Season 2 with some of the series' highest-rated episodes ever after finishing Season 1 of Skeleton Crew earlier in the year.
What to Expect From Disney's Upfront 2025 Presentation
Considering Upfront is focused on the streaming side of things, Disney has plenty to discuss for the rest of the year and early 2026.
Arguably, the most notable in that group of shows is Percy Jackson Season 2, which is due to hit the streaming service in December. This season will focus on author Rick Riordan's Sea of Monsters book for Walker Scobell and company, and it will help set up everything coming in Season 3 (which has already been greenlit) as well.
Additionally, Marvel and Star Wars are expected to have plenty of highlights during Disney's Upfront presentation.
For Marvel, many fans are hoping to get the first official trailer for the MCU's next Disney+ series, Ironheart. Recent online rumors have indicated that a trailer will be debuting at Upfront, and given that the Disney+ series debuts in less than two months, now would be the perfect time.
Also on the docket for the MCU this year are Eyes of Wakanda, Marvel Zombies, and Wonder Man, which will close out a busy year for Marvel Studios. The year will add to Marvel's growing cache of animated series and R-rated projects (Marvel Zombies) before Wonder Man introduces a Hollywood-based superhero unlike anything the franchise has ever seen.
For next year, all eyes are on Daredevil: Born Again Season 2, which will continue Matt Murdock and Kingpin's story by embracing part of the Shadowlands storyline from Marvel Comics.
As for Star Wars, along with the second season of the animated Star Wars: Visions, anticipation is building for what will come in Ahsoka Season 2, due to debut sometime in 2026. With filming for Ahsoka Season 2 now underway, fans are eager to see how Rosario Dawson's character will make her way back to her galaxy, all while being reunited with Anakin Skywalker in Force Ghost form as well.
There are also still plenty of surprises in store for Disney fans in the upcoming Upfront presentation, leaving many anxious to find out everything the industry giant has in store for the foreseeable future.
