Reports Say Marvel Moving Ahead With 'Strange Academy' Disney+ Series Led by Doctor Strange

Reports point to a Disney+ pivot that tests Marvel's response to fan fatigue.

Overview

  • Multiple outlets report Marvel is developing Strange Academy for Disney+, positioning Doctor Strange as a mentor to young sorcerers from across the Multiverse.
  • The project draws from the comic concept and had been rumored and reportedly shelved before resurfacing this week through insider accounts.
  • Coverage notes heavy fan criticism, with calls for Marvel to refocus on core Avengers storylines rather than expanding Multiverse arcs.
  • Supporters argue the series could broaden the MCU’s mystical corner and launch a new roster of magical heroes if executed well.
  • Analysts frame the move as high risk, saying a misfire could reinforce perceptions of franchise fatigue while a hit could help restore momentum.
