"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". This is the tagline for the Marvel Rising: Secret Warriors. This is the new Marvel animated feature film slated for 2018.
Marvel is dubbing it as a new multiplatform animation franchise. It will feature the next generation of superheroes. The featured superheroes will be Spider-Gwen, Ms Marvel, Squirrel Girl, Quake, Patriot, America Chavez and Inferno. Teen Wolf hunk Tyler Posey will be voicing Inferno, yes, somebody better call the fire station.
The company will start by launching 4-minute digital shorts focused on Spider-Gwen before releasing the animated film Marvel Rising: Secret Warriors later. This is like what young Kenyan football fans used to enjoy while reading and watching Supa Strikas.
Sana Amanat, Marvel Director of Content and Character Development said, "This project is unlike anything we've done before — from featuring the rising and fan-favourite stars of the Marvel Universe to a visually distinct animation style, this is a ground-breaking animated event. It's an action-packed adventure, full of comedy, heart and powerful messages for every kind of Marvel fan."
