The Stan culture that has developed around Elizabeth Olsen‘s Wanda Maximoff and the impressive success of Agatha all the time should serve as strong indicators to the Marvel Parliament that there is interest in more stories in the mysterious corner of the MCU. Although strong performances by Olsen and Agatha star Kathryn Hahn are huge factors, the audience was equally enchanted by Joe Locke, Aubrey Plaza and Patti LuPonewhose performance earned her a Critics’ Choice Award nomination. In this case, it’s not just big names, but great stories that fans respond to, and it’s clear they want more.

With that in mind and HBO is preparing to bring Harry Potter back to the pop culture front with a new streaming series set to debut in 2026, it sounds like Disney may be gearing up to capitalize on the buzz.

According to a report from MCU insider Daniel Richtman, Marvel Television is developing an adaptation of Marvel Comics’ The Strange Academy for Disney Plus.

Created by Scottie Young and Humberto RamosMarvel Comics The Strange Academy debuted in 2020 and focused on a new generation of magic users who were trained in the arcane arts at a Hogwarts-esque school opened by Stephen Strange. Classes at Strange Academy were led by a number of Marvel wizards, including Doctor Voodoo, Wanda Maximoff, Wong, Magik, and, yes, Agatha Harkness, and covered a range of topics from astral projection to interdimensional geography to xenoanatomy.

The report echoes a nearly two-year-old rumor that indicated Marvel Studios was co-developing the IP Benedict Wong and Xochitl Gomez as co-leads. Given the recent restructuring behind the scenes at Marvel Studios, it’s likely that whatever plans were originally in place for The Strange Academy has changed. Additionally, it’s always worth repeating that Marvel Studios’ head of television, streaming and animation, Brad Winderbaumhas warned fans that a project being developed doesn’t mean it will ever come to fruition on screen.
