During the Disney investor presentation this evening, Marvel Studios head Kevin Feige dropped a metric ton of news about Marvel’s upcoming plans. The company is already developing several shows for Disney+ that we knew about, but here are a few that are new: Secret Invasion, Ironheart, Armor Wars, and I Am Groot will all be heading to the streaming service.
Get details about all of those below, plus casting news about the She-Hulk series that’s also in the works.

Samuel L. Jackson will return as Nick Fury in Secret Invasion, which Feige hyped as perhaps the most significant crossover event since Civil War in the pages of Marvel Comics. He’ll be joined by Ben Mendelsohn as Talos, the Skrull who appeared in Captain Marvel and later disguised himself as Fury on Earth so the real Fury could take a much-deserved vacation in space.
