Marvel announces Zodiac for Disney+ with 2028 release window

Marvel Television announced Disney+ series Zodiac at New York Comic Con, calling it a spy thriller with a 2028 release window.

According to IGN, Brad Winderbaum said the Zodiac title design contains clues about the direction of the story. The logo has fans wondering about a possible link to Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., but Marvel has not confirmed any connection.

Clark Gregg shared the announcement on Instagram, adding to the speculation. Marvel has not revealed any cast yet, and Winderbaum said the company expects to start casting within the next few weeks.

What happened

Marvel TV chief Brad Winderbaum said, according to the same report, that the Zodiac logo is more than just a title card. He said the design includes hints about where the story is headed. The report also notes that the logo contains visual elements that resemble S.H.I.E.L.D., though that remains an interpretation of the design rather than an official confirmation of any story link.
