Marvel Studios: Legends
Marvel Studios: Legends is an American television docuseries created for the streaming service Disney+, based on the Marvel Comics characters and objects that appear in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU). Produced by Marvel Studios, each episode showcases an individual character or object with footage from past MCU films and Disney+ series, highlighting their prominent moments from the MCU.
The series was first announced in December 2020. Marvel Studios: Legends premiered on January 8, 2021, with subsequent episodes released shortly before a Disney+ series or special's premiere or a film's initial release. It received positive responses for being helpful to casual viewers of the franchise, but criticism for being a clip show with no new footage or documentary elements. The 26-episode first season covers projects in Phase Four of the MCU, while a 21-episode second season covers projects in Phase Five. Beginning with the second season, the episodes were also made available on Marvel Entertainment's YouTube channel, with the season one episodes eventually being added to YouTube as well. Beginning in 2025, episodes were released exclusively on YouTube.
The series examines individual heroes, villains, moments, and objects from the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) and how they connect, in anticipation of the upcoming stories that will feature them in the Disney+ series, films, and Special Presentations in Phase Four, Phase Five, and Six.
Marvel Studios: Legends was announced in December 2020 as a new series that would revisit characters from the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) ahead of their appearances in new feature films and Disney+ series as part of Phase Four of the MCU. The series features short episodes made up of footage from past MCU films that featured the highlighted character, moment, or object. Two episodes were initially announced, with one for Wanda Maximoff and one for Vision ahead of their roles in WandaVision. Upon its announcement, many commentators believed the series would be a clip show and a good way to remind viewers of a character's history and allow casual viewers a quick way to catch-up without watching hours of past MCU content. Chaim Gartenberg at The Verge also likened the series to the one-page recaps Marvel Comics uses to similarly catch readers up for ongoing stories. Collider's Matt Goldberg felt Marvel Studios: Legends did not cost Disney or Marvel Studios "anything more than some editor's work and a bit of music" to produce given each episode's length and content.
Subsequent Legends episodes were released for Falcon, Winter Soldier, Zemo, and Sharon Carter; Loki and the object the Tesseract; Natasha Romanoff / Black Widow; Peggy Carter, the Avengers Initiative, and the Ravagers group; the Ten Rings; Clint Barton / Hawkeye; Dr. Stephen Strange, Wong, and Wanda Maximoff / Scarlet Witch; Thor, Jane Foster, and Valkyrie; Bruce Banner; T'Challa, Shuri, and the Dora Milaje; and the Guardians of the Galaxy members Mantis and Drax, which concluded the first season.
The second season of Legends began in February 2023, and includes episodes for Scott Lang / Ant-Man, Hank Pym and Janet van Dyne, and Hope van Dyne / Wasp; the remaining Guardians of the Galaxy members Peter Quill, Gamora, Nebula, Rocket, Kraglin, and Groot; Nick Fury, Maria Hill, Talos and the Skrulls, Everett K. Ross, and James Rhodes / War Machine; "Variants" and the TVA; Carol Danvers, Monica Rambeau, and Kamala Khan; the Guardians of the Multiverse; and Riri Williams.
The third season of Legends began in July 2025,[citation needed] and features the episode for Wakanda's War Dogs.[independent source needed]
Each episode consists entirely of archival footage from previous MCU films and television series.
