UPDATE: It seems like Ms. Marvel will arrive even earlier than expected, with the Marvel Studios show announcing a summer 2022 release window during Disney+ Day on Nov. 12.
Disney+ has narrowed down a release window for two of its upcoming original series: Marvel Studios' Ms. Marvel and Lucasfilm's Star Wars spinoff Andor.
As revealed during The Walt Disney Company's Q4 earnings call for 2021, Ms. Marvel and Andor are currently slated to premiere on Disney+ during Q4 of 2022. In other words, both shows will hit the streaming service sometime next year between October and December, inclusive.
One of many Disney+ original series set within the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Ms. Marvel stars Iman Vellani as the Marvel Comics superhero Kamala Khan/Ms. Marvel and is slated to run for six episodes. Vellani will reprise her role as Kamala Khan opposite Brie Larson's Carol Danvers/Captain Marvel and Teyonah Parris' Monica Rambeau in the upcoming Marvel Studios film The Marvels, which is scheduled for release on Feb. 17, 2023. The Marvels serves as both a continuation of the Ms. Marvel Disney+ series and a sequel to the 2019 Larson-led film Captain Marvel.
In addition to Vellani, Ms. Marvel stars Aramis Knight as Kareem/Red Dagger, Saagar Shaikh as Amir Khan, Rish Shah as Kamran, Matt Lintz as Bruno Carrelli, Zenobia Shroff as Muneeba Khan, Mohan Kapur as Yusuf Khan and Laurel Marsden as Zoe Zimmer. Additionally, Yasmeen Fletcher, Laith Nakli, Azhar Usman, Travina Springer, Nimra Bucha, Alyy Khan and Alysia Reiner have been cast in undisclosed roles.
Meanwhile, Andor serves as a prequel to Lucasfilm's 2016 Star Wars anthology film Rogue One: A Star Wars Story. The Disney+ series is slated to run for 12 episodes and will see Diego Luna reprise his role as Rebel spy Cassian Andor. Additionally, Forest Whitaker and Genevieve O'Reilly are expected to reprise their roles as Saw Gerrera and Mon Mothma, respectively. It was originally announced that Alan Tudyk would be reprising his role as Cassian's droid sidekick K-2SO, though Tudyk subsequently cast doubt on his return.
Andor's cast also includes Stellan Skarsgård, Adria Arjona, Fiona Shaw, Denise Gough, Kyle Soller and Robert Emms, though, as is to be expected, details regarding their respective roles are being kept under wraps. Nevertheless, the show itself is a spy thriller that is expected to delve into Cassian's backstory and further flesh out the formative days of the Rebel Alliance. Andor is one of many Star Wars projects coming down the pipeline, with the franchise's next Disney+ installment, The Book of Boba Fett, set to premiere next month.
