Disney+ Day Offers First Look at She Hulk, Ms. Marvel and the House of Harkness
Disney+ celebrated another year on the air by showing off its upcoming slate of new Marvel Studios programs like Ms. Marvel and She-Hulk, as well as teasing second seasons of its hit 2021 shows like Loki and What If?
Some highlights include the return of the animated X-Men, the official title for WandaVision’s Agatha-based spinoff, and a new Spider-Man animated series. Unfortunately there aren’t trailers for everything, but if you go to Disney+ you can see a sizzle reel that has a first look at Moon Knight, Tatiana Maslany as She-Hulk and Iman Vellani as Kamala Khan, aka Ms. Marvel.
Moon Knight is described as “a new globetrotting action-adventure series featuring a complex vigilante who suffers from dissociative identity disorder. The multiple identities who live inside him find themselves thrust into a deadly war of the gods against the backdrop of modern and ancient Egypt.” It stars Oscar Isaac.
She-Hulk, meanwhile, follows Orphan Black‘s Tatiana Maslany as the titular “lawyer who specializes in superhuman-oriented legal cases” and will feature guest appearances from Mark Ruffalo and Tim Roth.
And Disney describes Ms. Marvel as the introduction of “Kamala Khan, a 16-year-old Pakistani American from Jersey City. An aspiring artist, an avid gamer and a voracious fan-fiction scribe, she is a huge fan of the Avengers—and one in particular, Captain Marvel. But Kamala has always struggled to find her place in the world—that is, until she gets super powers like the heroes she’s always looked up to.
There were no in-depth looks at the new series – in some cases we only saw the new show logos, but viewers of the stream (and those following on social media) now know what they have to look forward to in 2022 (and beyond.)
