Marvel Studios’ recent announcements at Disney’s D23 Brazil event have ignited excitement among fans, particularly regarding the future of the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s (MCU) television series. “Agatha All Along,” a spin-off from “WandaVision,” has garnered significant acclaim on Disney+, leading to speculation about its continuation. Marvel TV head Brad Winderbaum, in an interview with CinePop, provided encouraging updates for both “Agatha All Along” and “Loki.”
“Agatha All Along” concluded its run with several unresolved plotlines, suggesting potential for future narratives. Winderbaum hinted that the series might be the second installment in a trilogy that began with “WandaVision,” leaving fans eager for the next chapter. The series has been well-received by both audiences and critics, further bolstering hopes for its continuation.
Regarding “Loki,” which aired its second season finale in November 2023, Winderbaum addressed the possibility of a third season, stating, “There’s always a chance.” While no official confirmation has been made, Tom Hiddleston’s portrayal of the God of Mischief has been a cornerstone of the MCU since 2011’s “Thor,” making his return plausible.
Marvel Studios is also reevaluating its content release strategy to prevent oversaturation. Winderbaum mentioned that the studio plans to produce approximately two series per year, with flexibility to adjust based on project development. Similarly, Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige indicated that starting in 2026, the studio aims to release only two films annually, allowing for more focused storytelling.
The fate of Elizabeth Olsen’s Scarlet Witch remains a topic of interest. Although her character’s apparent demise occurred in 2022’s “Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness,” recent developments in “Agatha All Along” suggest she may still be alive. With her son, Billy Maximoff, returning through Joe Locke’s character William, fans anticipate Wanda’s comeback, especially with the upcoming series “Vision Quest,” centered on Paul Bettany’s Vision.
Initially, Jac Schaeffer was set to serve as showrunner for “Vision Quest.” However, due to scheduling conflicts with “Agatha All Along,” she departed the project in September 2024. Terry Matalas has since taken over as showrunner, with filming expected to commence in early 2025 and a Disney+ debut slated for 2026.
At D23 Brazil, Feige addressed Wanda’s future, stating, “We had ‘Agatha All Along’ on Disney+ just now, and that series was great for us. Since then, many questions about Wanda have remained in the minds of fans… So, I can only say that we are excited to find out when and how Scarlet Witch can return.”
In addition to these updates, D23 Brazil featured exclusive footage and announcements for upcoming Marvel projects, including “Captain America: Brave New World,” “Thunderbolts,” and “Daredevil: Born Again.” The event also showcased content from other Disney franchises, such as “Tron: Ares” and “Ice Age 6,” highlighting Disney’s diverse and expansive slate of future releases.
