‘Loki’, ‘Ahsoka’, ‘Peter, Pan and Wendy’ (And More) Will Keep Disney+ Sizzling In 2023
Disney+ unveiled a blink-and-you’ll-miss-it first look at its 2023 slate of programming.
None other than the God of Mischief himself (Tom Hiddleston) introduced a sneak peak at the streamer’s upcoming shows, including a second season of Loki as well as glances at new series like Star Wars: Ahsoka, American Born Chinese, Marvel’s Secret Invasion, live-action Peter, Pan and Wendy, and Pixar’s Win or Lose, among others.
The first season of Loki was the most-watched show for Disney+ when it aired last year, and it set up Kang the Conquerer as the new big bad in Marvel Phase 5. The Season 2 cast also includes Owen Wilson, Gugu Mbatha-Raw, Sophia Di Martino, Eugene Cordero, Tara Strong and Rafael Casal.
Star Wars: Ahsoka stars Rosario Dawson. The show is written by Dave Filoni and executive produced by Filoni and Jon Favreau, and will continue Ahsoka’s story from previous Star Wars outings. The limited series also stars Natasha Liu Bordizzo as Sabine Wren from the Star Wars Rebels animated series, and Mary Elizabeth Winstead. Hayden Christensen also is expected to reprise his role as Anakin Skywalker.
In American Born Chinese, Michelle Yeoh stars as mythological goddess Guanyin in a series based on the genre-hopping graphic novel by Gene Luen Yang. The series tells the story of Jin Wang (Ben Wang), an average teenager juggling his high school social life with his home life who then gets entangled in a battle between the gods of Chinese mythology.
The Disney+ teaser for Secret Invasion shows only a few quick shots from the new series, but it is enough to excite any Marvel fan. The first shot shows Martin Freeman as CIA Agent Ross sneaking around the corner. It has yet to be announced where this show takes place in the MCU timeline, but that show seems to suggest after Black Panther Wakanda Forever.
