Marvel Studios Reveals Rumors on New Series and Characters

Marvel Studios Rumor Roundup

Recent rumors have surfaced regarding multiple upcoming Marvel Studios projects, notably Strange Academy and a new Jessica Jones series.

Strange Academy Updates

According to Daniel Richtman, the Champions and Strange Academy shows on Disney+ are set to take place post-Secret Wars, potentially running for multiple seasons. While Champions has not been officially announced, it is expected to revolve around the Young Avengers, including characters like Kate Bishop, Kamala Khan, Wiccan, and Speed, the latter making his debut in VisionQuest.

What is Strange Academy?

In the comics, Strange Academy was established by Doctor Strange to teach young sorcerers. The show may feature a stable of students like Alvi Brorson, Calvin Morse, and Zoe Laveau, alongside familiar faces such as America Chavez and Wong.

The series might also connect deeply into the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), serving as an essential tie-in leading up to Avengers: Doomsday.

Jessica Jones Series Development

Richtman also confirms that a new Jessica Jones series is in the works. With Jessica Jones (played by Krysten Ritter) likely to appear significantly in Daredevil: Born Again, this new iteration may revisit earlier storylines or even reboot the character's journey.

Returning Faces in the MCU

Additionally, Gwyneth Paltrow will reprise her role as Pepper Potts in both Avengers: Doomsday and Avengers: Secret Wars. Despite her past involvement, Paltrow has admitted to not keeping up with recent MCU films, expressing her thoughts on how the franchise has changed since its inception.

Hayley Atwell's Multiple Roles

Richtman also notes that Hayley Atwell will portray multiple variants of Peggy Carter in Avengers: Doomsday. Atwell previously expressed interest in exploring her character further, emphasizing her feeling of being an 'underserved character' in the MCU.

Looking ahead, it seems likely that the MCU is gearing up for an exciting phase, with the return of beloved characters and the introduction of new stories.
