Disney Tweets Then Deletes Video Featuring First Looks at Daredevil, Red Hulk, Ironheart, and More

Disney posted – and then seemingly deleted – a promotional video that featured sneak peeks at upcoming Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) projects like Daredevil: Born Again and Captain America: Brave New World.

The video that made its way online today mostly highlights Marvel’s 85th anniversary and ends with a series of teasers for what’s to come in the near future (via Comic Book Club). It’s a sizzle reel with a good shot of Charlie Cox as Daredevil in the upcoming Disney+ revival show, while also giving fans a decent look at the ragtag Thunderbolts* team and Riri Williams’ return as Ironheart. It also includes the first official glimpse at Harrison Ford’s Red Hulk face after teasing his appearance in previous marketing.

The problem is that, apparently, Disney wasn’t actually ready to post the MCU teaser online quite yet. The video is now nowhere to be found on any official Marvel or Disney pages, leading to confusion among the many who had already seen the clips and managed to capture some of their favorite moments.

Each project shown in the MCU highlight reel also got a moment in the spotlight at recent events like San Diego Comic-Con 2024 and D23 2024. There’s a decent chance you’ve already seen much of the footage from the now-deleted video, as leaks from both events quickly made their way onto fan social media feeds whether they sought out the teasers or not. Even if thousands of fans have seen Daredevil, Ironheart, and Red Hulk before today, it looks like Disney still has its reasons for keeping the curtains closed.

It shouldn’t be much longer before each project returns in a more official manner. Captain America: Brave New World will swoop into theaters come February 14, 2025, meaning there’s just less than half of a year before we see Ford’s full debut as Thaddeus ‘Thunderbolt’ Ross. Daredevil will follow almost immediately after with its premiere set for sometime in March of next year, with Thunderbolts* set to follow on May 2. Ironheart is expected to arrive next year, too.

While Disney isn’t quite ready to reveal its next moves, you can at least read about all of the behind-closed-doors footage we saw for things like Daredevil: Born Again, Ironheart, Thunderbolts*, and Captain America: Brave New World. For everything else Marvel has in the works, you can click here.
