Disney Jr. has greenlit a new preschool animated series called Marvel’s Iron Man and his Awesome Friends, which will premiere on Disney Jr. and Disney+ in summer 2025. 

In production now at Disney Branded Television, the project is part of Disney/Marvel’s strategy to introduce iconic characters from the MCU to a much younger generation of fans. And it comes on the heels of a successful first initiative that has seen Marvel’s Spidey and His Amazing Friends stretch out to four seasons.

The new show focuses on the adventures of Iron Man and his posse, who don technological suits and use special gadgets to protect their city and help citizens in trouble. Sean Coyle (Puppy Dog Pals) and Harrison Wilcox (Marvel’s Spidey and His Amazing Friends) are executive producers, and the producing team also includes Disney Jr. and Marvel Studios, in association with Atomic Cartoons.

“Iron Man is the character that launched Marvel Studios and will always be especially beloved here as the hero that made the MCU possible,” says Brad Winderbaum, head of streaming, television and animation at Marvel Studios. “That’s why we’re so excited to partner with the incredible team at Disney Branded Television and bring Iron Man to a new audience. Together, we are building a series that introduces the most brilliant scientists and inventors in the Marvel Universe.”
