2026 is shaping up to be a HUGE year for Marvel Studios. Wonder Man was already a hit both critically and amongst fans and casual viewers alike. But Marvel still plans to release a Spider-Man and Avengers movie, as well as two mainstay shows with Daredevil and VisionQuest. Plus, two beloved animated shows return with second seasons. Oh, and a Punisher special.

With all of that goodness on the horizon, it's time for us to predict what we think they may do with a few of these characters.

What are some of your boldest predictions for this year?

No matter what, we as fans are eating good in 2026.
