A number of new Disney+ shows were recently announced at the D23 Expo, but the upcoming streaming service won’t be the only home for new Marvel series, as the Disney Channel gets ready to air a new animated superhero program.
As announced during the Disney Television Animation panel, the Disney Channel has officially ordered Marvel’s Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur, which has Laurence Fishburne and Helen Sugland attached as executive producers.
Like the comic book series of the same name, the show will follow “the adventures of 13-year-old super-genius Lunella Lafayette” as she works to protect New York City’s Lower East Side with “her ten-ton T-Rex, Devil Dinosaur.”
No other story details are currently available, but during the D23 panel, Fishburne expressed his excitement for the project: "As an avid comic book fan, I am thrilled to be involved with 'Marvel's Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur.' Disney Channel is the perfect platform to explore this pint-sized female African American superhero and I can't wait for their audience to enjoy the lighthearted adventures of Lunella and Devil Dinosaur."
Disney hasn't set an official release date for Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur, but it has been confirmed that Jeff Howard (Planes) and Kate Kondell (The Pirate Fairy) will serve as co-producers and story editors.
