Everything We Learned At NYCC’s Marvel TV Panel | The Mary Sue

Here’s everything we learned about Wonder Man, Daredevil: Born Again, Marvel Zombies, The Punisher, and more at the 2025 New York Comic-Con.

Phase Zero’s Brandon Davis moderated the panel, which featured special guests including Yahya Abdul-Mateen II, Charlie Cox, Krysten Ritter, Sir Ben Kingsley, Paul Bettany, and the head of Marvel Television, Brad Winterbaum.

The introduction, a video narrated by Mayor Fisk (Vincent D’Onofrio) himself, vaaaaaaguely teased the return of Mike Colter as Luke Cage and/or Power Man. However, it was only a tease. The Defenders aren’t all back yet.

Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man Season 2 might get venomous…

An exclusive teaser gave fans in the convention center first look at Season 2 and the introduction of Gwen Stacy, symbiotes, more Harry and Nico, some more Doc Ock goodness, and the return of Daredevil.

X-Men ‘97 is going there with Jean and Scott

The new executive producers, who worked on the original animated series, are finally going to get to do a storyline from back in the day. That storyline? Jean Grey’s pregnancy. The exclusive Season 2 trailer teased Apocalypse, time travel, and Polaris.

Oh, and the show is returning for Season 3.

Daredevil: Born Again is assembling a team.

Yet another exclusive trailer showed Krysten Ritter’s triumphant return as Jessica Jones. There was also plenty of glimpses at Foggy (?), Bullseye, Karen, Mayor Fisk in the boxing ring, and a gleefully violent vibe. Cox and Ritter talked about their sibling vibe and natural friendship and chemistry. (Cox calls her character “JJ,” how cute is that?)

The ‘Wonder Man’ trailer promises some meta comedy and the return of a fan favorite.

The teaser, which you can watch above, sets up the premise of the series. It’s about Simon Williams starring in a reboot of Wonder Man, a fictional character within the MCU. Williams is not a superhero. He just plays one on TV. We see the director explain his vision over Zoom. We see some skeptical fans. There’s even, I think, a joke about Marvel’s silly working titles: the movie within the show shoots under the fake title Cash Grab 2. We see the nonconventional audition process as well as his dynamic with Trevor Slattery.

VisionQuest surprised the panel completely.

Finally, Bettany appeared on stage to talk about the third piece of the Wanda, Agatha, and Vision puzzle. He talked a bit about White Vision’s journey through memory (and lasers) and showed another exclusive teaser. We got a first look at Ruaridh Mollica as yet another mysterious teen. As many have expected the show will give us human versions of various MCU AI including:

• DUME
• U
• JARVIS
• FRIDAY
• EDITH
• Ultron

More to come…
