Marvel announced the release of a surprising new addition to its list of shows on Disney+ in June 2025. Marvel's small-screen future will return to form this month by reintroducing Dominique Thorne's Riri Williams in Ironheart. Aside from the armored heroine's small-screen debut, plenty of projects under the Marvel brand are slated to premiere in 2025 and beyond, including a recently announced project that would bring joy to young fans of the franchise. 

Disney confirmed that Marvel's Spidey and his Amazing Friends Season 4 will premiere on Disney Jr. on Monday, June 16, 2025, at 8 a.m. PT. Six episodes will then be available to stream on Disney+ on Tuesday, June 17, 2025. 

Marvel's Spidey and his Amazing Friends' Season 4 release on the streamer was a surprise, considering it wasn't part of Disney+'s original June 2025 slate. The hit series joins six other upcoming Marvel shows that fans can't wait to watch in the months ahead.
