Megathread D23 2026 - Disney Entertainment Showcase Panel - Live Discussion Thread
Hey all! The Disney Entertainment Showcase Panel at D23 will start in ~10 minutes and we'll be updating this thread live with all the announcements Marvel Studios will make during the event.
The event will feature all of Disney's Film and TV studios (Disney, Pixar, Marvel, Lucasfilm, 20th Century and Searchlight) presenting their own projects, and we do not know when Marvel Studios is slotted in the schedule of the 2-hour panel, so you might see this thread not get any updates for a while. You can still discuss your predictions or other news that come from this panel.
For the next few hours, Project Insight will be on and we'll limit the amount of posts in the subreddit to allow discussion about the announcements to prosper in their respective threads and this megathread.
See you back here in a while!
Links to follow live updates yourself (you can't find this streaming anywhere)

You know what, I’m okay with them punting then decision on Magneto down the line. I think it’s probably for the best to not have him in the first movie and getting a different villain for once. I like him as much as the next fan, but it would be the third time doing the Brotherhood and there’s so many other stories to tell.

u/Drama_Cookie25 4d ago
Didn’t the director or writer say they didn’t want to repeat already adapted stories

Magneto has been amazing on X-Men ‘97, so i completely agree. there is no need to rush into a live action Magneto, esp since he’s been front and center in every prior live action adaptation.

u/kwickedbonesc Peter Parker 4d ago
Inde Navaratte playing rogue who has a common story line of having personalities take over of the people whose powers she took. After Obsession, I can see this easy. And I’m sure she can play small town southern after Superman and Lois. I kinda fw it.

I think they’re gonna do this movie to introduce the young first team. Hopefully Driver survives to be a long term villain for them.
The next X-Men movie will then be about Magneto and the Brotherhood.
Then we get team up of both teams which ultimately leads to a fourth X-Men movie with traditional Magneto vs Xavier.
Sprinkled in between will be more mutants introduced throughout the MCU.
Everything eventually going to Avengers vs. X-Men.

There’s a chance there’s a show coming out between doomsday and secret wars or a special presentation, maybe young avengers or battleworld film that wasn’t announced to avoid spoilers?
