Today’s Disney earnings call brought both good and bad news for all Disney+ subscribers. While the streamer is serving up plenty of new content in the 2022 fiscal year, they revealed that a few shows have been pushed further down the line as 2021 comes to a close. Most notably, Ms. Marvel, a new MCU series that was set to release earlier this year, has been pushed all the way down the pipeline into 2022’s Q4 (October-December). We’re going to have to wait quite a bit longer for our first look at Iman Vellani as the young superhero!

Along with Ms. Marvel, the company also announced that Star Wars series Andor and the live action remake of Pinocchio have been pushed into Q4 of 2022. But both of those were already slated to hit in 2022 at some point, so this news isn’t as big a surprise as the Ms. Marvel adjustment.

“The fourth quarter will likely be more indicative of what our slate could look like, once we have tentpole content flowing steadily from all of our industry-leading creative engines,” Disney CFO Kristine McCarthy said during the call. She also stated it was the “first time in Disney Plus history that we plan to release original content throughout the quarter from Disney, Marvel, Star Wars, Pixar and NatGeo, all in one quarter. This includes highly anticipated titles such as Ms. Marvel.”

Ms. Marvel is set to follow a young Kamala Khan, played by Vellani in her very first IMDb credit. Matt Lintz has been cast as Kamala’s friend Bruno, and Aramis Knight will play the vigilante Red Dagger. Additional cast members include Saagar Shaikh, Rish Shah, Zenobia Shroff, Mohan Kapur, Yasmeen Fletcher, Laith Naki, Azher Usman, Travina Springer, and Nimra Bucha. Sex Education‘s Bisha K. Ali has been tapped as the head writer of the project, which was originally slated to release in late 2021.

Andor is set five years before the events of Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, and will get into all the covert action of the early days of the Rebellion. The series stars Diego Luna, Genevieve O’Reilly, Forest Whitaker, Stellan Skarsgard, Denise Gough, Kyle Soller, Adria Arjona, Fiona Shaw, and more. Rogue One‘s Tony Gilroy has been picked up as the head writer for Andor, which maintains its original 2022 release schedule.

Lastly, Robert Zemeckis’s live action adaptation of Pinocchio will launch on Disney+ around the same time as these shows, with Tom Hanks and Benjamin Evan Ainsworth set as leads Geppetto and Pinocchio. Alongside Hanks and Ainsworth, Cynthia Erivo, Luke Evans, Lorraine Bracco, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, and Keegan-Michael Key round out the stacked cast. Like Andor, Pinocchio‘s release schedule has not been altered.

Ms. Marvel follows a long list of Marvel shows released on Disney+ in 2021. Those hits include WandaVision, The Falcon and the Winter Soldier, What If…?, Loki, and set to debut in two weeks, Hawkeye. Other upcoming shows set to follow Ms. Marvel include She-Hulk, Moon Knight, and Secret Invasion.
