Marvelhas finally released the first official footage for forthcomingDisney PlusshowsDaredevil: Born AgainandIronheart, plus one of its 2025 threatrical offerings,Thunderbolts.

The blink and you’ll miss them clips, which you can see in the video below, were released today (August 29) as part of Marvel’s 85th birthday celebrations.

The footage in question starts at the 1:57 mark, with a brief glimpse of some ofThunderbolts' main players, such as Florence Pugh’s Yelena Belova, David Harbour’s Red Guardian, and Sebastien Stan’s Bucky Barnes, as they prepare to exit an elevator. TheMarvel Phase 5movie’s expected lead trio are joined by Wyatt Russell’s US Agent and Hannah John-Kamen’s Ghost, but we don’t know where the quintet are, or why they’re working together yet.

Seconds later, we get our first official look at Charlie Cox’s Matt Murdock/Daredevil, who’ll star in his own Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) TV series after making a number of cameos in other Marvel movies and TV shows. Unsurprisingly, the footage fromDaredevil: Born Againdoesn’t reveal too much about the spiritual successor toDaredevil, which originally aired onNetflix, but at least it shows Murdock wearing his iconic superhero suit – one complete with blood red eye mask protection – that’ll surely excite fans.

Meanwhile,Ironheart’s first footage also makes its debut in the 85th anniversary video. Dominique Thorne’s Riri Williams can be seen flying through the streets of Chicago – dodging traffic as she does so – in her custom builtIron Man-like suit while screaming “Let’s go!”.

The trio’s first-look clips come days after Marvel accidentally leaked the aforementioned video on its own social media channels. As reported by the likes ofGamesRadar/Total Film, the comic book giant shared and then deleted a sizzle reel of the above material last Thursday (August 22). Clearly, someone jumped the gun and published the video before they were supposed to.

Regardless, it’s good to have some high-definition footage to pore over, especially in light of other leaks surrounding some of these MCU projects. On August 14, we reported on aleakedThunderboltstrailer that revealed our first look at Lewis Pullman’s Sentry and the Marvel movie’s paranoid thriller vibes. That teaser, which was debuted exclusively at D23 Expo 2024 days earlier, made its way online without Marvel’s consent.
