Disney Plus, Disney’s streaming service launched in November 2019, has announced a collection of new series featuring some of Marvel’s most beloved characters. The new slate of original Marvel content includes a Hawkeye series featuring Jeremy Renner in the lead role, and a series featuring the much-anticipated arrival of the Fantastic Four.
