To kick off 2021, Disney will release three new Marvel TV series chronicling the side adventures of characters introduced in the movies.  In January, Wandavision will be released,  March will bring the release of  Falcon and Winter Soldier, and in May, the Loki series will hit the streaming platform.  Along with these titles came the announcement of live action remakes of both Peter Pan and Pinnochio set to release exclusively on Disney Plus.
