Beginning with WandaVision in 2021, Marvel started creating live-action TV shows that are officially part of the main MCU storyline. Previous shows like Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., The Defenders Saga, The Runaways, and Cloak & Dagger weren’t connected to the movies, even though they were considered canon within their own stories. These new series are designed to be important to the overall MCU narrative, linking directly to films like Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness and The Marvels. The results have been uneven, with some hits (Agatha All Along), some shows that didn’t quite land with audiences (She-Hulk: Attorney at Law), and some that were poorly received (Secret Invasion). However, the reaction to and quality of Wonder Man suggests a path forward for these series.
