The second day of D23 brought one of the most exciting panels of the whole weekend: the Marvel panel. The Marvel section revealed some new trailers, casting news, and other details for upcoming movies and shows in the MCU.
Here are the most exciting trailers and announcements from Disney at the Marvel panel.
Werewolf by Night
Marvel’s doing something a little different, with a Halloween special streaming on Disney Plus on Oct. 7. Called Werewolf by Night, it appears this Halloween special features Man-Thing, and stars Gael García Bernal and Laura Donnelly.
Secret Invasion
The first Secret Invasion trailer was revealed during the panel — bringing Samuel L. Jackson’s Nick Fury to the spotlight, as he deals with a sect of Skrulls invading Earth. Alongside Jackson and some other MCU actors like Cobie Smulders and Don Cheadle, the show will also star Kingsley Ben-Adir (One Night in Miami…), Olivia Colman (The Favourite), and Emilia Clarke (Game of Thrones).

Looks like Bucky Barnes (Sebastian Stan) has joined the Thunderbolts, a team made up of fellow morally-grey and/or somewhat villainous characters including Yelena Belova (Florence Pugh), the Red Guardian (David Harbour), Taskmaster (Olga Kurylenko), Ghost (Hannah John-Kamen), U.S. Agent (Wyatt Russell), and Valentina (Julia Louis-Dreyfus). Think of them as the Suicide Squad of the MCU, but without the cringey method acting.
