In 2024, Disney is set for changes. Following a string of underperforming MCU releases in 2023, Bob Iger emphasized a shift towards prioritizing quality over quantity in their content production. With over 20 MCU projects in various stages of development and numerous Star Wars shows and movies in the pipeline, many announced during the 2023 Star Wars Celebration event, Disney+ has now confirmed several of these upcoming projects. Most are slated for release in 2024. Let’s take a look at what’s in store.
1. ‘X-Men ’97’ — March 20
‘X-Men ’97’ debuts on the platform with its first two episodes premiering on March 20, 2024. The series will comprise 10 episodes, each with an average runtime of 30 minutes. As a continuation of ‘X-Men: The Animated Series,’ it exists outside the MCU canon, residing within its own timeline. Nevertheless, for those seeking a nostalgic trip, this is an unmissable treat.
2. ‘Star Wars: The Acolyte’ — June 5
‘The Acolyte’ was announced to be in development in 2020.
