The Disney Entertainment Showcase Friday, August 9: 7 pm – 9 pm PT Close Undoubtedly the biggest panel at D23 2024 is the Disney Entertainment Showcase panel. This is not the first that will occur at D23, though is widely considered the kickstarter of the fan event. It will take place at 7 pm PT and run for two hours until 9 pm PT and will offer insight into every major franchise under the Disney umbrella. From Pixar and Walt Disney Animation Studios to Star Wars and the MCU, the Disney Entertainment Showcase will be Disney's way of delivering big updates at the beginning of the weekend, as evident by the D23 official website:

"Enjoy the magic of Disney Entertainment in a star-studded showcase featuring exclusive looks at the movies, series, and stage shows you love, and a glimpse into what you can look forward to. Join some of your favorite stars as they give you a peek behind the curtain at upcoming projects, never-before-seen footage, surprise announcements, and special guests, musical performances, and exclusive new content coming to the big screen, your small screens, and stages worldwide."

Concerning the MCU specifically, it is expected that Marvel Studios will flesh out the upcoming slate of movie and TV releases. SDCC 2024 allowed the studio to delve into five specific movies, though was short on announcements concerning the unannounced movies of Phase 6 and upcoming Marvel TV shows. As such, it is expected that D23 will offer exactly this. Insights into TV shows like Agatha All Along, Daredevil: Born Again, and Ironheart are likely, as are those for unannounced movie projects that could, but are not confirmed to, include franchises like Shang-Chi, Blade, Doctor Strange, Black Panther, and Thor.
Updates on the MCU's Spider-Man 4 are not likely considering Sony Pictures still owns the rights to the character, meaning any news will come from that studio as opposed to Disney.
Music of Marvel Studios Friday, August 9: 11 am – 12 pm PT Close The second of two panels surrounding the MCU on Friday, August 9 comes before the major Disney Entertainment Showcase. This panel, titled Music of Marvel Studios, will take place earlier in the day at 11 am PT, running for an hour until noon PT. The panel will show exactly what the title indicates, an insight into the music of various Marvel properties. The behind-the-scenes look at the music of the MCU will be presented by a panel of guests, from composers of MCU scores to songwriters and music executives Dave Jordan and Justine von Winterfeldt.
The music composers will offer insights into the scores crafted for their individual MCU projects – with Giacchino potentially delving into The Fantastic Four: First Steps…
The composers present will be Michael Giacchino, Christophe Beck, and Laura Karpman. The songwriters include Kristen Anderson Lopez and Robert Lopez, who crafted the various sitcom-based theme songs for each episode of WandaVision as well as the "Agatha All Along" song. The music composers will offer insights into the scores crafted for their individual MCU projects – with Giacchino potentially delving into The Fantastic Four: First Steps and his MCU directorial debut, Werewolf by Night – while the latter two will likely discuss the songs crafted for WandaVision, and could even offer tidbits about the upcoming Agatha All Along show alongside Beck.
