Marvel has a new series of animated short films in the works which will focus on some of their more obscure or up-and-coming characters, including the likes of Ms. Marvel, America Chavez, and Victor Kohl.
Each short will revolve around Gwen Stacy, here going by the moniker Ghost-Spider, and will build towards a feature-length film titled Marvel Rising: Secret Warriors
Marvel has assembled quite a cast for this project, which will see Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. actress Chloe Bennet reprising the role of Quake, and our new live-action Squirrel Girl Milana Vayntrub lending her voice to Doreen Green.
Check out the press release below, along with a promo image and video:
Marvel Rising: Secret Warriors is a long-anticipated event, bringing together Marvel’s newest and beloved characters that have garnered major fan excitement over the last few years. Powered teens Ms. Marvel, Squirrel Girl, Quake, Patriot, America Chavez, and Inferno join forces as an unlikely, but formidable crew of aspiring heroes. When a threat no one could have expected bears down on the Marvel Universe, this ragtag, untrained band of teens have no choice but to rise together and prove to the world that sometimes the difference between a “hero” and “misfit” is just in the name.
“Marvel characters are so relatable because they live in our world and face the same challenges we do. So I’m very excited that our Marvel Rising team of heroes is so inclusive, reflecting characters with different backgrounds, particularly a set of strong female leads that our young audience can connect with,” said Cort Lane, Marvel’s Senior Vice President of Animation & Family Entertainment.
