The Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) is a media franchise and shared fictional universe that is the setting of superhero television series based on characters that appear in Marvel Comics publications. The MCU first expanded to television with series from Marvel Television that released from 2013 until 2020 on ABC, Netflix, Hulu, and Freeform. Marvel Studios—the production studio behind the films—began releasing series on Disney+ as part of Phase Four. WandaVision began streaming in 2021, and was followed by The Falcon and the Winter Soldier, the first season of Loki, the first season of the animated What If...?, and Hawkeye, while Moon Knight, Ms. Marvel, and She-Hulk: Attorney at Law were released in 2022; the phase also includes two Marvel Studios Special Presentations. Phase Five series released in 2023 include Secret Invasion, the second season of Loki, and the second season of What If...?. Echo released in 2024 and is expected to be followed that year by Agatha All Along along with the animated series Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man and Eyes of Wakanda, with Daredevil: Born Again and Ironheart planned for release in 2025. Phase Six will feature an untitled Vision series in 2026. Wonder Man, Marvel Zombies, and an untitled Wakanda series are also in development. These series feature greater interconnectivity with the feature films than those from Marvel Television, with many actors reprising their roles from the MCU films and the Marvel Television series.
