The Multiverse Saga continues to unravel, with numerous Marvel Studios’ projects premiering at a brisk pace, and Marvel has no intention of slowing down. With the MCU in the middle of Phase 5, and just as the second season of Loki kicked off on Disney+, many new preregistrations have surfaced online, offering fans a glimpse of what lies ahead for the next two years. See our report below for the latest information about the approximate expected release dates for Agatha: Darkhold Diaries, Daredevil: Born Again, Ironheart, and Spider-Man: Freshman Year.
Agatha: Darkhold Diaries (September 2024)
The first project that sounded the alarms was the registration of the WandaVision spinoff; Agatha: Darkhold Diaries, previously titled Coven of Chaos and House of Harkness. This registration was found by Twitter User: Scarlet Witch Updates (@ScarletWitchUpd on X).
‘AGATHA’ is set to release in September 19, 2024! 🔮

The registration details Agatha: Darkhold Diaries airing approximately on September 19th, 2024. It is important to note that the dates listed on these registrations ARE NOT the final release dates and are only an approximation. However, we at The Cosmic Circus can verify that the intended release window lines up with a September 2024 release date.
The registration also provides us with a short synopsis and a main cast listing:
“In the first episode, we see Agatha Harkness (Kathryn Hahn) finally break out of a spell she has been trapped in. She can’t wait to go back to her old murderous ways, only to find that she is powerless. The only way forward for her is to embark on a perilous quest to get her powers back with the help of an unlikely friend or two.”
Director: Jac Schaeffer
MAIN CAST:
- Kathryn Hahn as Agatha Harkness
- Aubrey Plaza as Rio
- Joe Locke as Teen
- Patti LuPone as Lilia
- Sasheer Zamata as Jen K
- Ali Ahn as Alice
This finding made us curious to search for more potential listings, and low and behold, we found a series of listings for future Marvel Studios projects.
Spider-Man: Freshman Year (November 2024)
The next project we found was one of the most highly anticipated Marvel projects featuring everyone’s Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man. Spider-Man: Freshman Year, produced by the talented head writer, Jeff Tramell, is slated for release approximately November 2nd, 2024. We also have a brand new synopsis for the animated series.
“Marvel Studios presents “Spider-Man: Freshman Year” in which Peter Parker’s life, while getting ready for his High School orientation, is forever changed by events that send him on a journey like none before. In the first episode, we discover that the new era of Spider-Man begins here!”
The registration also provides us with the main cast, listed below:
- Hudson Thames as Peter Parker
- Eugene Byrd as Lonnie Lincoln
- Grace Song as Nico Minoru
- Hugh Dancy as Otto Octavius
- Kari Wahlgren as Aunt May
- Zeno Robinson as Harry Osborn
Daredevil: Born Again (January 2025)
The highly anticipated premiere of Daredevil: Born Again was slated for January 2025 as an approximate release date. The 18-episode series listed the following synopsis for the show:
“Marvel Studios presents “Daredevil” in which longtime rivals Matt Murdock (Charlie Cox) and Wilson Fisk (Vincent D’Onofrio) try to leave behind their darker alter-egos to serve the people of New York only to have their pasts catch up to them. In the first episode of the series, we are reintroduced to the world of Daredevil.”
According to the preregistration, the following main cast is listed as below:

Ironheart (September 2025)
The final listing we found registered today was the Black Panther: Wakanda Forever spinoff: Ironheart. According to the preregistration, the project is aiming to air on September 3rd, 2025, approximately. This would list it nearly three years following Dominique Thorne’s debut as the character in Black Panther: Wakanda Forever back in 2022. The reasoning for why there is such a massive gap between these projects is currently unknown. However, it is possible that the show could carry a connection to the Armor Wars film, which will have a connection to the Ironheart series.
The synopsis for the show reads as follow:
“Marvel Studios presents “Ironheart” in which charming teenage super genius Riri Williams (Dominique Thorne) returns from MIT to her hometown of Chicago in her iron suit and begins to unravel threads that bring danger and adventure right to her doorstep. The adventure begins in episode 101 as Riri is introduced to the audience.”
There is also a Main cast and Director listing included for this series as well:
Director: Sam Bailey
MAIN CAST:
- Dominique Thorne as Riri Williams
- Anthony Ramos as Parker Robbins
- Alden Ehrenreich as Joe McGillicuddy
- Lyrics Ross as Natalie Washington

This is not the first time that the details of a Marvel Studios project were revealed via these preregistrations. Details for X-Men’97 and Echo were also listed, each set for release approximately January 3rd, 2024, and January 10th, 2024 respectively.
It is important to reiterate, once again, that all of these dates are approximate listings for pre-registration and not the final release dates. However, with these listings, we can make a strong case that the intended order for the release of these Marvel Studios Disney+ projects would be as follows:
-
January 2024: Echo

September 2024: Agatha: Darkhold Diaries
