Marvel Sets Live-Action Spy Thriller Zodiac for 2028 Disney+

Marvel Television has announced a new live-action spy thriller series, Zodiac, set to release in 2028 on Disney+. The announcement was made at New York Comic Con, with the show's logo also being revealed.

According to Brad Winderbaum, shooting for the series will begin in London in the spring, with casting starting in the next couple of weeks. This timeline suggests that the production is moving quickly, with the cast expected to take shape soon.

The series is described as a spy thriller, although the exact plot and characters are still unknown. Some sources suggest that it may be connected to Marvel's secretive government organization, SHIELD, given the inclusion of the SHIELD logo in the show's title artwork, as noted by avclub.com.

Zodiac is the first new live-action show announced for Marvel since Ironheart, and its release in 2028 gives the studio a chance to build anticipation and excitement for the series. The show's premiere on Disney+ will also mark a significant addition to the platform's lineup of Marvel content.

Marvel Television has been managing a busy slate of shows, with Wonder Man premiering in January and being renewed for a second season, only to be canceled a few months later. The contrast between Wonder Man and Zodiac is notable, with Zodiac arriving with a logo, a release year, and a production window that reaches into spring, as reported by el-balad.com.

Daredevil: Born Again is also set to end with next year's Season 3, which will reportedly be a reunion for the Netflix Defenders heroes, including Krysten Ritter, Mike Colter, and Finn Jones. Meanwhile, VisionQuest is set to premiere on October 14, with Paul Bettany back as the robot Vision.

The announcement of Zodiac has sparked speculation about the show's potential connections to other Marvel properties, including Avengers: Secret Wars. However, Marvel Studios boss Kevin Feige has denied that the franchise will undergo a total reboot, as noted by ign.com.
