The future of Marvel Television is looking bright, as evidenced by the awesome new sizzle reel released on Wednesday. In the two-minute clip, Marvel debuted new footage from seven upcoming shows, several of which no one had seen any footage from yet.
There’s What If…? season three coming December 22—then in 2025, Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man coming January 25, Daredevil: Born Again coming March 4, Ironheart on June 24, Eyes of Wakanda on August 6, Marvel Zombies in October, and Wonder Man rounding out the year in December.
And even though it’s a short preview, Marvel was sure to pack a lot in it. Here are the 21 cool things we spotted in the footage.
Daredevil: Born Again
A new suit (:26)– Each time the Man Without Fear appears in Marvel, he’s seemingly got a new suit, and this time is no exception.
Mayor Fish (:13, 1:34, 1:36)– As expected and teased, most notably in EchoWilson Fisk (aka the Kingpin) is now mayor of New York City.
Punisher is back (:15, 1:37) – While the first section of the trailer has a brief shot of Jon Bernthal as Frank Castle, later we see him in his Punisher outfit.
Muse (:09) – The footage features our first look at the villain Muse.
Yusuf Khan (:30)– Arguably the biggest Easter egg in the whole trailer is the appearance of Mr. Khan, aka Kamala’s dad from Ms. Marvel and The Marvels. He’s the guy asking Matt about being a lawyer. Could his daughter play a role here?
Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man
The footage here is super quick so really the biggest takeaway is this unique spin (pun intended) on a Spider-Man staple—the homemade suit. (:36)
Ironheart
Han Solo team up (:08)– Sorry, Alden Ehrenreich, you’re always young Han Solo to us. And in a very quick shot early in the trailer, we see that Riri Williams brings him one of her armors.
The Hood (:10, :45)– The trailer has a few quick looks at the Hood, the villain of the show played by Anthony Ramos.
New armors (:43, :47)– it looks like Riri will have a few armors in Ironheart and the white one is reminiscent of one of Tony Stark’s variants in Iron Man 3.
What If…? Season 3
Agent Coulson returns (:57) – Nick Fury leads a team, maybe traveling on the Bifrost, that includes everyone’s favorite agent, Coulson.
The Avenger Voltron (:59) – A shot of a Captain America-themed mech is from an episode where several Avengers pilot similar robots that all combine into one.
Cowboy Shang-Chi (:57) – An obvious one, but it’s good to finally see this hero back as we patiently wait for his live-action return.
Marvel Zombies
Is that Blade? (1:02) – A man slices and dices up zombies that looks a little like Mahershala Ali in a Moon Knight costume. Is it Moon Knight? Is it Blade? Is it someone else?
Varied zombies (1:01)– A quick shot shows not only a zombie member of the Dora Milaje but also potentially Cull Obsidian?
Zombie Thanos (1:34) – An undead Thanos? What’s scarier than that?
Eyes of Wakanda
There isn’t a ton we can glean from the two quick shots outside of its very unique and beautiful animation style that’ll feature many new characters from Wakanda. (1:25)
Wonder Man
Meet Simon (1:07) – Here’s our first look at Simon (Yahya Abdul-Mateen II) who is not just auditioning for Wonder Man, he’ll become Wonder Man.
Trevor’s back (1:19) – Ben Kingsley is back in the MCU, once again reprising his role as failed actor Trevor Slattery from Iron Man 3 and Shang-Chi. Glad to see he’s still in show business.
Costume homage (:08) – An early shot in the trailers shows Simon in a red suit, which feels like a reference to one of Simon’s alternative uniforms from the comics—his classic “safari jacket” casual look introduced in the late ’70s.
But also –
There are two things in trailer that have us totally stumped. There’s an image of someone in front of what looks like a crime investigation (:10) that we’re unsure of. Is this from Ironheart? Wonder Man? And then there’s the image above from inside the TVA (:05). We can place almost all of the images in this scene except the one in the bottom middle. It looks like Josh Gad in black and white. Any ideas?
