We’ve all heard a while back that Jonathan Majors would become the next major villain of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, as he’ll take on the role of Kang the Conqueror.

D23 has kicked off its Marvel panel in style and it seems that director Ryan Coogler wanted to jump right into his next Marvel project, the Disney+ series Ironheart. Not only that, it seems they even brought some footage for attendees to tease what the new project has in store alongside a (finally) updated loog for the series.
Anthony Ramos is also confirmed that he’s playing The Hood but teases he’s not quite an evil character. It seems he may have a good heart but ends up taking a deep dive into a dark place at some point in the series. The series is still being shot and people are highlighting that it looks great from the showfloor.
Marvel Studios D23 panel has finally kicked off and they are focusing on what’s heading our way with Black Panther Wakanda Forever. The lucky attendees got an exclusive sneak peek of what the film has to offer and it seems like a lot of the storyline will be built around vibranium and the world trying to capitalize on Wakanda’s biggest resource in the absence of their former king. It’ll be interesting to see how they tackle this storyline and how it may tie together with Namor’s story.
While Jon Watts was originally set to direct Fantastic Four after his success with Spider-Man: No Way Home, he suddenly pulled back on the project. Shortly after he’d announce his involvement with a new Star Wars series titled Skeleton Crew. It wasn’t until Star Wars Anniversary that we’d find out about it but it turns out the idea was actually going back and forth between Jon Favreau and Jon Watts during their time on the set for Spider-Man as revealed during the D23 Expo panel.
During the panel, we also got our first look at Jude Law‘s mysterious character, as shared by our own Charles Murphy attending the event.
It looks like we finally have a release date for the anthology series Tales of the Jedi. The continuation of the animated side of Star Wars ever-growing lore will take the look at different and familiar characters from the franchise’s history and give them a bit more time.

We’ve got our first new release dates as finally will know when The Bad Batch season 2 releases.

It’ll consist of 16 episodes and come with a two-episode premiere, which is a nice trend from the series.
D23 is finally here and Lucasfilm took us on a ride throughout a fantasy-filled land as well as looking beyond the stars. But there is one more major project many have been quite excited for and that is the grand return of Harrison Ford as Indiana Jones.
