Marvel’s Next Show Has a Unique Release Schedule & Fans Aren’t Convinced

by

Fans are reacting to the announced release plan for the new Marvel Studios series, Wonder Man, which will be available on Disney+ starting January 27, 2026. The show boasts a strong cast, including Yahya Abdul-Mateen II, Arian Moayed, and Ben Kingsley, among others.

Fans react to Wonder Man dropping all episodes at once on Disney+

Okay, so Marvel’s upcoming Wonder Man series has people talking, and it’s not about the story just yet. The release plan is causing a bit of a divide among fans. Apparently, all eight episodes are dropping at once on Disney+ in January 2026, and some viewers are really unhappy about that. They’re used to the weekly release model, and a full season dump just doesn’t feel right to them. It’s definitely sparked a debate about how we should be watching these Marvel shows!

The Direct reports that this news was revealed to fans at New York Comic-Con in 2025. They also mention this will be the first Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) series with eight episodes released all at once on Disney+.

Okay, so this new show is getting a mixed reaction from viewers, and it all boils down to how it’s being released. Some people are really into the fact that all eight episodes dropped at once – one viewer on X (formerly Twitter), @100xWalmart, even said it feels like the show is confident in its ability to grab you immediately, and that’s a good thing. They’re saying the creators aren’t pretending they don’t want you to binge it. But not everyone feels that way, and it’s definitely sparking a debate!

One viewer shared a hopeful feeling about the show, saying they just had a hunch it would be good, and weren’t basing it on any actual knowledge. However, other Marvel fans saw the decision to release all episodes at once as a sign the studio wasn’t very confident in the show’s success.

Another user, @cliffBallin, commented that releasing all eight episodes at once suggests the creators aren’t very confident in the show’s success.

One user suggested Marvel might delay the show to avoid competing with the release of Daredevil: Born Again Season 2. They believe it’s not about a lack of confidence in Wonder Man, but rather Marvel’s preference to not promote two shows simultaneously. Releasing Wonder Man weekly would overlap with Daredevil’s release, potentially causing a conflict.

Wonder Man centers around Simon Williams, played by Yahya Abdul-Mateen II, an actor striving to get cast in a superhero film. As he pursues this goal, Simon unexpectedly gains superpowers of his own.
