Loki and Star Wars: The Bad Batch are getting Disney + premiere dates

Today is a red letter day for Disney property announcements: release dates have been set for the Disney + series Loki and Star Wars: The Bad Batch, and the new Spider-Man movie has a new name.

We start with Spider-Man. After a marketing stunt in which three different stars of the film shared three fake movie names in addition to the first images of the movie on Instagram, the actual title of the new Spider-Man movie has been revealed in a cheeky Twitter video and blog post: Spider Man: No Way Home

The fake names previously circulated were inclusive Spider-Man: Phone Home Spider-Man: Home-Wrecker, and Spider-Man: Home Slice

Spider-Man: No Way Home premieres December 17, 2021.

And speaking of release dates and Marvel characters, the Disney + series Loki premieres on June 11. The series was previously announced, but this is the first time that we know the exact day when we can expect the first episode.

Here’s Marvel Studios’ description of the series:

Loki depicts the God of Mischief stepping out of his brother’s shadow in a new series set after the events of Avengers: EndgameTom Hiddleston returns as the title character, along with Owen Wilson, Gugu Mbatha-Raw, Sophia Di Martino, Wunmi Mosaku and Richard E. Grant. Kate Herron directs Loki, and Michael Waldron is the lead writer.

But Disney’s plethora of announcements today isn’t limited to Marvel. The new Star Wars animated series Star Wars: The Bad Batch Disney + will hit on that marketer-and-fan-invented Star Wars holiday may 4.

The first episode will premiere that day, while the second will be released on May 7 shortly after. From then on, new episodes will go live every Friday.

The series has been produced by Dave Filoni, Athena Portillo, Bead Rau, Jennifer Corbett, Carrie Beck and Josh Rimes, who have all worked on some previous animated series, such as Star Wars: The Clone Wars or Star Wars ResistanceFiloni also directed several episodes of The Mandalorian

Here’s Disney’s synopsis:

The series follows the elite and experimental troopers of Clone Force 99 (first introduced in Star Wars: The Clone Wars) as they make their way through a rapidly changing galaxy in the immediate aftermath of the Clone War. Members of Bad Batch, as they prefer to be called – a unique team of clones that are genetically different from their brothers in the Clone Army – each possess exceptional ability, making them extremely effective soldiers and a formidable crew.
