, “Zodiac” will begin filming in London in spring 2027, with casting expected to get underway in the coming weeks. Marvel also unveiled the show’s first logo, although the company has yet to announce its cast, creative team, or specific storyline. For now, the biggest clue is its description as a live-action spy thriller, suggesting Marvel wants to revisit the espionage side of its universe rather than introduce another conventional superhero adventure. Of course, Marvel has plenty of history in that department, from “Captain America: The Winter Soldier” to the increasingly complicated world of S.H.I.E.L.D. Whether “Zodiac” taps into that established mythology or charts its own course remains unclear. The name also has a history in Marvel Comics, although the studio has not confirmed whether the series will draw from the criminal organization of the same name. The other big announcement concerned “Marvel Zombies,” which apparently has plenty of life left in it, despite the whole being-dead thing. Winderbaum revealed that Marvel will release three additional two-part specials over the next three years, beginning with “The Winter Soldier” in 2027, followed by “The Fist of Khonshu” in 2028 and “The Last Guardian” in 2029. The titles suggest potential appearances by Bucky Barnes, Moon Knight, and other familiar Marvel characters, although the studio has not yet detailed their respective stories or confirmed which characters will appear. [The announcements were also recorded in the live NYCC panel updates.](https://www.reddit.com/r/marvelstudios/comments/1x11hhk/marvel_television_and_animation_panel_at_nycc/) The announcements arrive during an interesting transitional period for Marvel Television. “Wonder Man” recently ended despite its critical acclaim, while “Daredevil: Born Again” will conclude with its third season in 2027. Meanwhile, “VisionQuest,” starring Paul Bettany, premieres October 14, bringing the interconnected television storyline that began with “WandaVision” and continued through “Agatha All Along” to its conclusion. Marvel's immediate television future may look considerably leaner than it did during the early Disney+ boom, but between an original espionage series and a steady stream of animated zombie adventures, Winderbaum clearly isn't shutting down the operation. Whether that more measured approach translates into stronger shows remains to be seen, but Marvel has now outlined at least part of its television and animation plans through 2029.

Marvel Television brought a few surprises to New York Comic Con on Thursday, unveiling an entirely new live-action series and a three-year plan for more undead superhero mayhem. Brad Winderbaum, Marvel’s head of television and animation, announced “Zodiac,” a new espionage thriller heading to Disney+ in 2028, alongside three two-part “Marvel Zombies” follow-ups arriving annually through 2029. Apparently, even Marvel’s dead superheroes have a more secure employment future than some of its living ones.
