Quote:
The MCU will continue on Disney+. Loki lives! Well, sorta. Disney+ is expected to give a few of our favorite characters from the Marvel Cinematic Universe renewed life by way of limited series devoted to them, starting with a series about Loki (Tom Hiddleston). These miniseries are expected to run somewhere around six to eight episodes apiece, and the full slate of characters who might be given their own standalone properties on Disney+ hasn't been revealed. However, a series starring the Winter Soldier (Sebastian Stan) and Falcon (Anthony Mackie) is in the works with Empire scribe Malcolm Spellman attached. A potential Vision (Paul Bettany) and Scarlet Witch (Elizabeth Olsen) series has also grabbed Captain Marvel writer Jac Schaeffer, according to The Hollywood Reporter. Meanwhile, rumor has it that Lady Sif (Jaimie Alexander) may finally return to the MCU, following her curious absence from Thor: Ragnarok, by way of a standalone series as well.
Marvel boss Kevin Feige confirmed that these series will be officially connected to the MCU, for those of you worried about AUs. "They will be entirely interwoven with both the current MCU, the past MCU, and the future of the MCU," he told ComicBook.com

Star Wars news as well:

The Mandalorian will mark an all-new Star Wars debut. The MCU isn't the only franchise expanding by way of Disney+. One of the most exciting things to come out of the new service is the introduction of some all-new Star Wars properties — the first of which is a live-action show called The Mandalorian. Jon Favreau is executive-producing the series and revealed that it will center on a galaxy not so far away, as far as fans are concerned: "After the stories of Jango and Boba Fett, another warrior emerges in the Star Wars universe. The Mandalorian is set after the fall of the Empire and before the emergence of the First Order. We follow the travails of a lone gunfighter in the outer reaches of the galaxy far from the authority of the New Republic."
There is no word yet on an exact premiere date, but subscribers can count on seeing The Mandalorian debut on Disney+ exclusively sometime after the service's launch. Game of Thrones alum Pedro Pascal will star alongside Nick Nolte, Gina Carano (Deadpool), Giancarlo Esposito (Breaking Bad), Emily Swallow (Supernatural), Carl Weathers (Rocky), Omid Abtahi (American Gods) and Werner Herzog (Grizzly Man).

A second Star Wars series is in development. Disney has also unveiled its plans to revive Diego Luna's Cassian Andor from Rogue One: A Star Wars Story for a prequel series that will follow the Rebel spy before his time on that fateful final mission. According to the description of the new series, "The rousing spy thriller will explore tales filled with espionage and daring missions to restore hope to a galaxy in the grip of a ruthless Empire."
The Clone Wars will also come back. The popular animated Star Wars series The Clone Wars will be making a comeback on Disney+ as well. After its fifth season concluded its run on the Cartoon Network, the series enjoyed a sixth season on Netflix but hasn't featured any new episodes since 2014. At San Diego Comic-Con, however, a new season was announced for Disney+'s original programming plans.
