Though 2025 will be another big year on Disney Plus for Marvel Studios, the Marvel Parliament remains committed to reducing the number of streaming projects released per year. As revealed by Disney’s Big Cheese, Bob Iger, Marvel Studios is moving in the direction of two streaming projects each year and it’s beginning to look like that plan will be fully realized once the studio completes its Multiverse Saga.
We’re slowly going to decrease volume and go to probably about two TV series a year instead of what had become four and reduce our film output from maybe four a year to two, or a maximum of three.

With Season 1 of Daredevil: Born Again, Ironheart and Wonder Man set for 2025 and a second season of Daredevil: Born Again and the Vision-centric series already looking like sure bets for 2026, it 2027 may be the year that Disney finally dials back on Marvel Studios’ streaming content. Though no official announcements have been made, it’s beginning to sound like the long-awaited Nova series will be ready to go in 2027 and now, a new report points toward another highly-anticipated series potentially being on the schedule with it.
According to a new report from insider Daniel Richtman, Marvel Studios is planning to begin production on Champions in 2026 with an eye on a post-Secret Wars release.
Originally developed as Young Avengers, the project was recently reported to have undergone a title change to reflect the age of its core group of heroes. While there’s obviously no confirmed cast for the series, Iman Vellani (22 years old) and Hailee Steinfeld (27 years old) seem likely to lead the project alongside Dominique Thorne (27 years old), Kathryn Newton (27 years old), Elijah Richardson (25 years old), Joe Locke (21 years old) and Xochitl Gomez (18 years old). Additionally, Logan Kim (17 years old), who will portray Amadeus Cho in Captain America: Brave New World, the actor yet to be cast as Tommy Shepherd and, possibly, an actress yet to be cast as Viv Vision could all find their way onto the titular team as well.
With the studio recently locking Ed Bernero down as the showrunner for Nova, it’s widely accepted that the Human Rocket will be the studio’s first Post-Multiverse series. Beyond that, it’s up in the air but with the studio reportedly actively searching for a showrunner for Champions, it could certainly be ready for a late 2027 release.
