    DISNEY+ DAY: New Animated ‘Spider-Man: Freshman Year’ is MCU Canon

    We just got the reveal that a new animated Spider-Man series with the subtitle Freshman Year is heading to Disney+. It instantly caught everyone’s attention, as it might potentially take place within the MCU just like their previous animated project What If…? and luckily Marvel quickly confirmed that it is indeed. It’ll explore Peter Parker’s time as he becomes Peter Parker in the series in a style that celebrates “the early comic book roots.” Jeff Trammel is acting as executive producer. The only question remains if Tom Holland will return to voice the character, as he didn’t in What If…?.

    The first official look at the Fist of Khonshu has arrived! As part of Marvel Studios Disney Plus Day presentation, fans were treated to a first look at the 2022 streaming series Moon Knight. Oscar Issac has confirmed as Moon Knight this past May after months of rumors pointed to him taking on the role(s). Isaac will face off against Ethan Hawke. The new special has arrived and offers our first glimpse at the titular hero and his iconic white outfit.

    The footage looks absolutely fantastic and some of the scenes line up with the leaked photo that surfaced online a few months ago. The dark and cryptic tone of this sneak peek is exactly what fans are looking for in a Moon Knight adaptation. One surprising detail in this footage is the seemingly Irish accent of Marc Spector, an attribute not usually associated with the character in the comics. Whatever the case is, this footage is more than enough to get anyone hyped.

    Disney + Day: ‘Obi-Wan Kenobi’ to Feature Vader and Kenobi, Round 2

    A brief feature on the upcoming streaming series Obi-Wan Kenobi debuted today on Disney Plus and gave fans an idea of the role Hayden Christensen’s Darth Vader will play.

    In a behind the scenes interview, star Ewan McGregor spoke glowingly about reuniting with his prequel co-star, saying, “The most beautiful thing of all is it’s brought me back together with Hayden.” Debora Chow, who will direct the series after helming two episodes of The Mandalorian, indicated that the return of Vader is integral to the DNA of the show, saying, “We couldn’t tell the story of Obi-Wan Kenobi without addressing Anakin of Vader.”

    And ever since news of Christensen’s return reached fans, they’ve been waiting for Vader to get his rematch, something McGregor coyly teased saying he and Christensen might,”Have another swing at each other. Might be quite satisfying for everybody.“

    Obi-Wan Kenobi will stream next year on Disney Plus.
