The Animated Feature Marvel Rising: Secret Warriors

Ming-Na Wen in Marvel Rising

Marvel Rising: Secret Warriors will be a full length animated feature. It includes some of the younger superheroes in the Marvel universe and is remarkable for its matter of fact approach to inclusion. The younger generation are going to save us all.

I love the diverse cast of this upcoming feature. I love that young heroes  represent the reality of the American melting pot. The full-length feature will release in 2018, but first Marvel will launch six, four-minute digital shorts. I don’t know any more details about the shorts, but will mention it on Twitter when I do.

I may not make it out to the theater to see Marvel Rising: Secret Warriors, but kudos to Marvel for adding these young heroes to the Marvel movieverse.
