Christmas came early for Marvel fans last night and also, maybe so much for the superhero studio’s claim of scaling back and “less is more?” Yesterday evening, eagle-eyed fans spotted a new “Coming To Disney+” teaser in front of episode one of “Agatha All Along,” that quickly made its way online. And while Marvel has shied away from giving away too much information lately, less announcements at Comic-Con and D23 than expected, the studio really gave up the ghost of its future TV plans.

While some fans and reporters got a taste of Marvel Television’s “Ironheart” at Disney’s recent D23 Expo, the series, which was shot in May 2022, will likely not arrive until more than three years after it went into production. And so, the series has been relatively shrouded in a decent amount of mystery up until recently.

This much we know, created by Chinaka Hodge (“Snowpiercer,” “The Midnight Club“), Ironheart centers on Riri Williams (Dominique Thorne), the brilliant M.I.T.

Marvel’s Kevin Feige hit the D23 stage on Friday night in Anaheim and revealed a taste of “Captain America: Brave New World,” a hello from the cast of “Fantastic Four,” and trailers for “Agatha All Along,” “Ironheart,” and “Daredevil: Born Again.” While only “Agatha All Along” was put online, let’s say we’ve had a chance to see all the footage.

And it was “Agatha All Along.” After several other titles, the last one yesterday obviously meant as a gag, it appears that Marvel’s upcoming “WandaVision” spinoff series is actually “Agatha All Along.” That’s just one of the announcements at this year’s Disney Upfronts (the event where a studio pitches advertisers about what’s coming in the future).

You’re sick of hearing of the WGA writer’s strike and the SAG actor’s strike, surely. But the reality is they keep messing with everything. And while they are not the exact culprit here—the writing has been on the wall for Marvel’s Disney+ strategy for a while—it’s certainly not helping things when talent aren’t able to promote the films and TV series that they star in, thus giving studios, streamers, and cable channels pause to promote their content while the strike is ongoing.

Earlier this month, Disney CEO Bob Iger commented that his company must become “better at curating” content that’s “extraordinarily expensive.” “We want the quality on the screen, but we have to look at what they cost us,” Iger said. What’s that mean?

Two years ago, Bob Iger pointed to the rafters and said, the future of our business is on streaming and Disney+. By then, everyone had a streaming service or one in the works, and it ushered in the age of #TooMuchContent. However, as we know, after the Wall Street Netflix crash of April 2022, which impacted the entire industry as the stock market totally reevaluated the worth of all streaming services, things are changing.
