Marvel Secretly Developing New Live-Action Disney+ Project, Potentially Young Avengers or New Mutants
Marvel Studios is developing a new live-action series for Disney+, potentially featuring characters from either the Young Avengers or New Mutants franchises, according to recent reports. A newly established production company called Veil Productions has been set up to oversee the project. Marvel typically creates dedicated production companies for each major initiative, with Veil Productions being the latest example following similar setups for other MCU projects.
The production has been assigned the working codename “Slumber Party,” though details about its significance remain unclear. Marvel’s production codenames can either reference the project directly or be deliberately obscure. The name “Veil” itself references a young character from the A-Force in Marvel comics, suggesting the series may focus on younger superhero characters, which aligns with both Young Avengers and New Mutants properties that typically feature teenage and young adult heroes.
Few additional details have been confirmed at this stage, with Marvel and Disney maintaining official secrecy around the project’s scope and direction. The announcement reflects Marvel’s continued strategy of expanding its original series catalog on Disney+, building on the studio’s established pattern of developing interconnected MCU content for the streaming platform.
