Marvel Animation’s D23 panel today in Anaheim, California, was far more subdued than Marvel’s live-action panel last night, which showed off trailers for “Daredevil: Born Again,” “Ironheart,” and “Agatha All Along.” Nonetheless, while short on news, trailers, or concrete release dates, the Marvel Animation panel did provide some updates.

But three Marvel cycles later, the super-well-received “What If…?” season two in December, the much-better-than-anticipated reception to the live-action “Echo” series in January, and the glowing reviews of “X-Men ’97 (currently sitting at 100% score on Rotten Tomatoes currently, read our review), things definitely appear to be on the upswing for Marvel.
