Feige also gave fans a sneak peek at The Fantastic Four: First Steps. Stars Pedro Pascal, Vanessa Kirby, Joseph Quinn, and Ebon Moss-Bachrach are currently busy filming in the United Kingdom, but they sent D23 fans a special video message from set.

Up next, executive producer Ryan Coogler joined Feige to tease the upcoming Disney+ series Ironheart, following Black Panther: Wakanda Forever breakout Riri Williams as she faces a new threat. Coogler welcomed stars Dominique Thorne, Anthony Ramos, Lyric Ross, Alden Ehrenreich, and Regan Aliyah, who treated fans in attendance to exclusive footage.

Then, Feige brought out the stars of Daredevil: Born Again, welcoming actors Charlie Cox, Vincent D’Onofrio, Deborah Anm Woll, Elden Henson, and Jon Bernthal. Together, the cast teased the return of Matt Murdock and announced that the series will premiere on Disney+ in March 2025.
