THE BOOK OF BOBA FETT
After being a part of original Star Wars trilogy and making an appearance in the extremely popular Mandalorian, this series will star the iconic bounty hunter, Boba Fett. He captured Han Solo in The Empire Strikes Back, becoming a fan favorite in the 1980 film. However, The Book of Boba Fett is not a continuation of Mandalorian, but rather a completely different show. It will be set along the same timeline and will maintain much of the same production and directorial staff.
HAWKEYE
Jeremy Renner is back in the Marvel Universe, but this time it’s to train a new Hawkeye, Hailee Steinfeld’s character Kate Bishop. The series is set to begin where Avengers: Endgame left off – with the introduction of the new archer taking over the role as Hawkeye. Renner has played the role of Hawkeye for 10 years; Steinfeld’s portrayal of the eager understudy is a great transition to keep the role youthful and fresh.
MS. MARVEL
New to the Marvel world, Kamala Khan is introduced as the ultimate superhero fan. At just 16 years old, Kamala is struggling to fit in at both home and school. But, when she suddenly gets superpowers, her whole world shifts and anything seems possible. However, she’s still just a teen living in New Jersey and learning to adapt with her new powers is not always easy.
NETFLIX | BY BRAD YOUTZ, MEDIA DIRECTOR
