Marvel TV’s Biggest Reveals You Missed at NYCC 2025 | Daredevil Born Again, Wonder Man & VisionQuest

AWritten by Klep Napier for WeAreCritiX.com

Marvel rolled into New York with a crowd that came to yell, and a slate that asked them to listen. Between the cheers, the panel kept landing a clear message. Television is where character relationships get time to breathe. Cities matter. Legacy matters. And yes, there were trailers, but the real headline was intent.

Moderated by Brandon Davis of the Phase Hero Podcast, the presentation was as energetic as the audience it played to. Davis kept things moving as Marvel’s Head of Television and Animation Brad Winderbaum guided fans through first looks, surprise announcements, and a handful of emotional returns.

Winderbaum opened with gratitude and a nod to Marvel Zombies, tipping that Brian Andrews was let off the leash and they are making more. Then he pulled the lens back. Long runs come from character pairs that sharpen each other over time. Think Peter Parker facing ghosts from home, or Matt Murdock grinding against Wilson Fisk’s power. The rest of the hour backed that up.

Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man

Season two is set to tug on old threads that Peter would rather keep buried. Showrunner Jeff Trammell is leaning into personal history that bleeds into the present. The room saw footage that promised a stickier, moodier high school, and yes, a certain black substance that tempts and corrupts. It looks less like monster-of-the-week and more like a friendship circle under stress, where every laugh carries a cost.

X-Men ’97

The baton pass is now official. Veterans Eric and Julia Lewald are executive producers for season two, which positions the show to honor the Fox Kids DNA without getting stuck in it. The trailer played to a packed house, the Apocalypse tease got a collectible handout, and Winderbaum confirmed season three is already in motion. It feels like the writers’ room is thinking in long arcs, not just nostalgia.

Daredevil: Born Again

Back in New York. Shot in New York. Made by New Yorkers. The trailer hit like a subway rush. Charlie Cox talked about higher stakes in a city that has grown harsher and more political. The pact of season one is shattered, and Mayor Fisk looms as a civic and cultural problem, not just a brawler in a suit. The reveal that Krysten Ritter is back as Jessica Jones landed like a reunion at the corner bar. The energy says street-level Marvel is loud again.

Wonder Man

Out west, Wonder Man looked like Hollywood staring down its own reflection. Yahya Abdul-Mateen II pitched Simon Williams as a working actor with ego, hunger, and a real shot at the thing he thinks he wants. Sir Ben Kingsley slid back into Trevor Slattery like he never left. The series leans on real Los Angeles locations and film-town rituals, a love letter with smudged lipstick. Expect comedy that punches through to something honest about ambition.

Vision Quest

The closer came with Paul Bettany and showrunner Terry Matalas teeing up a story that treats memory like evidence that will not hold in court. White Vision carries the memories of a life he cannot feel, which sets up a search for self that can only happen in television’s longer corridors. The tease echoed what worked in WandaVision. Genre play is on the table. Lore heads will eat.

What Marvel really said

Across the board, the panel argued for patience. Characters first. Cities as stages. Animation that respects childhood without behaving like it. And a willingness to let audiences wait for the big swings until they hit the hardest. It was a hype reel, sure, but it felt like a programming philosophy too.
