Marvel Zodiac: Marvel is heading into spy territory. Marvel Television has announced "Zodiac," a new live-action spy thriller. The series is set to debut in 2028.


Marvel Television chief Brad Winderbaum shared the news at the studio's New York Comic-Con panel. 


He confirmed that filming will begin in London this spring. Casting will start within weeks.


Few other details have been released. Marvel has not yet shared plot information or a cast list.


"Zodiac" is the first new live-action Marvel series announced since last year's "Ironheart." 


The timing is notable. Marvel just scored a major win on the big screen. "Spider-Man: Brand New Day" smashed box office records. 


The TV side of the franchise, however, has seen some popular shows come to an end.


"Wonder Man" is one of them. The series premiered in January and was canceled just months later. 


That came even though it had been renewed for a second season. It also earned an Emmy nomination for lead actor Yahya Abdul-Mateen II.


Critics praised the show. The nomination also made history. Abdul-Mateen II became the first live-action actor to earn Emmy recognition for both a Marvel series and a DC series. His earlier nod came for HBO's "Watchmen."


Another fan favorite is wrapping up. "Daredevil: Born Again" will end with Season 3 next year. 


The series brought back Charlie Cox's street-level hero, who first appeared in Netflix's "Daredevil." 


Season 3 appears set to deliver a long-awaited reunion of the Netflix "Defenders" heroes. 


That includes Krysten Ritter as Jessica Jones, Mike Colter as Luke Cage and Finn Jones as Iron Fist.


More Marvel TV is arriving soon. "VisionQuest" premieres Oct. 14. It will close out a trilogy that began with "WandaVision" and continued with "Agatha All Along." 


Paul Bettany returns as Vision. After his role in "WandaVision," the android has been laying low. 


He is also communicating with other AI androids, including Ultron, J.A.R.V.I.S. and F.R.I.D.A.Y.
