#FIRSTLOOK: MARVEL NEW YORK COMIC CON 2025 PRESENTATION
Marvel Television and Marvel Animation took to the Empire Stage at New York Comic Con for a showcase presentation of all the Marvel series coming soon to Disney+. The panel was moderated by Phase Hero host Brandon Davis, alongside Head of Marvel Television and Marvel Animation Brad Winderbaum, and featured special guests from across the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man Season 2
Winderbaum kicked things off with a look at Season 2 of Marvel Animation’s Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man, coming to Disney+ in Fall 2026. Winderbaum teased that Season 2 will bring more Spidey-lore to the screen—and the footage included a sentient black goo that was immediately familiar to fans in the room.
X-Men ‘97 Season 2
Winderbaum was joined on stage by Eric and Julia Lewald, the writers who originally created X-Men: The Animated Series. He announced that the Lewalds, along with original series director Larry Houston, have joined X-Men ‘97 Season 2 as Executive Producers. They talked about what fans can expect from the upcoming season, before sharing footage from X-Men ‘97 Season 2, coming to Disney + in Summer 2026.
Daredevil: Born Again Season 2
A New York presentation would not be complete without one of Marvel’s most iconic New York City heroes. Daredevil: Born Again’s Charlie Cox came to the stage to talk about where Season 2 of the hit series will find Matt Murdock/Daredevil. Fans were thrilled when they invited Krysten Ritter, returning to the MCU as Jessica Jones, to join them. She talked about finally returning to the character six years after the end of her eponymous series, before the cast shared a look at Season 2 of Daredevil: Born Again, coming to Disney+ in March 2026. The group confirmed that Season 3 of the series was already in the works.
Wonder Man
Yahya Abdul-Mateen II and Sir Ben Kingsley came out to share look at the series that takes audiences behind the scenes of a super hero movie remake: Wonder Man. Kingsley and Abdul-Mateen II talked about working with director Destin Daniel Cretton, shooting in Los Angeles, and the fun of playing a character who is also an actor, before sharing the first trailer for Wonder Man, an 8-episode series debuting on Disney+ January 27, 2026, at 6:00pm PT / 9:00pm ET.
VisionQuest
As one final surprise, Winderbaum returned to talk about VisionQuest, the conclusion of the trilogy that started with WandaVision and continued with last year’s Agatha All Along. He was joined by MCU veteran Paul Bettany, who talked about reuniting with James Spader’s Ultron before sharing an exclusive look at the series coming in 2026.

#SPOTTED: STAR-STUDDED NEW YORK WEEKEND
We weren’t planning to visit New York City for a bit but temptation got to us. We really should be resting after a draining TIFF and what seemed like an endless series of weddings. Rest can always wait as NYC was the place to be this weekend with New York Comic Con, Paley Fest, New York Film Fest, Taylor Swift on Saturday Night Live and more going on in tandem. We don’t know how New Yorkers even function with all that excitement going on!
We came with no real agenda but came out exceedingly-pleased about our weekend! It was beyond amazing. We keep doting on it, but 2019 will go down as our best year yet.
Wait till you see our sightings!
We, like the rest of Toronto, cannot wait for the arrival of EATALY, an upscale Italian grocer/eatery and all-around Foodie Heaven. New Yorkers are blessed with two locations and it was a joy having our morning coffee and pastries there.
This was our first visit ever to New York Comic Con, held at Jacob Javits Center, which was endless energy… it was amazing seeing how precise some of the Cosplay was! We are overjoyed finally to meet Marvel Cinematic Universe stars and acting veterans, Paul Rudd and Benedict Wong! They were beyond nice and we love seeing Rudd back with his signature hair again.
This year marks the 57th edition of the New York Film Festival and while many of the films screening there had done the rounds at TIFF ’19, it was so cool see New Yorkers get excited about them too. Films like Marriage Story and Parasite came out with raves just like in Toronto and they were lucky to see some Cast we didn’t get to see last month. Our highlight was getting to see ScarJo and having her throw you guys a wave! 👋 So cool Greta Gerwig came too to support Baumbach! We have a feeling this power couple will have competing Oscar contenders this Award season, she with Little Women. Just a reminder, these embedded albums can be scrolled-through by hovering right them and tapping on the arrow.

We adore Mary-Louise Parker and she is getting lots of acclaim for her work on Broadway in The Sound Inside. Loved getting to meet her finally!

Paley Fest celebrates Television, giving fans a chance to attend some intimate panels. We were lucky enough to catch the stars of AMC‘s The Walking Dead attending their panel.
It isn’t a New York visit without Saturday Night Live and this weekend’s taping was extra special with a star-studded list of guests seeing Fleabag star Phoebe Waller-Bridge host with musical guest, Taylor Swift! You won’t believe who came out to watch!

About as close as I could get to #TaylorSwift x #JoeAlwyn, #Lovers! #NYC #SNL #SaturdayNightLive

We couldn’t resist a visit to scenic Belmont Park! We are so happy to have found a gap in our day to see their star-studded card of racing including the Grade I Joe Hirsch Turf Classic and Champagne Stakes too!
Guess where I am?? @TheNYRA pic.twitter.com/zNRpjxjVIE

We love always trying new things and BIBBLE AND SIP stamped itself a new favourite and we cannot wait to go back for their Hong Kong-inspired pastries and superb coffee.
…and Shake Shack, you need to come to Canada, already!
Never a letdown. pic.twitter.com/vNGgGzDD5v
