"Marvel Animation on Disney+" News & Discussion (Spoilers)

[Frontier]

It might eventually come down to the merchandise sales, like it always seems to for Marvel cartoons especially Spider-Man. They're already not afraid to use a different VA or design when it's canonically supposed to be MCU based. Maybe this rationale will spread to other characters when it becomes a bigger issue with actor likenesses, etc.

Marvel Studios Planning ‘Multiple’ New Animated Series Following Debut of ‘What If…?’

Marvel Studios’ “What If…?” — which debuts on Wednesday on Disney Plus — marks a critical creative milestone for the MCU. As the title suggests, the show takes full advantage of the storytelling possibilities of the multiverse that “Loki” officially established. Each self-contained episode...

I think this is new-ish. Groot will be photo realistic? I knew knew it would be CGI, but I wouldn't have ruled out something like the old Rocket and Groot shorts. It feels like this might become their house style. At least Moon Girl will keep the 2D dream alive.

I guess with their major blockbuster franchises (Star Wars, MCU), they see CG as the way to go...

Wasn't it announced recently that Disney will start a separate animation house for Marvel only. I'm looking forward to that based on What if?. With that and Devil Dinosaur & Moon Girl, I do have some semblance of hope.

I figured this would be worth posting here as well - Disney+ Day is on November 12. There will probably be some updates in regards to upcoming shows, so perhaps news about their Marvel animation slate will also surface.

Marvel Studios has hired Sofia Alexander, who I believe is going to be stationed in the new animation studio.

Shot in the dark, but considering Onxy Equinox was traditional animation, I hope we get more 2D animation from Marvel Studios...

 

[M.O.D.O.K.]

Pretty cool to have her on board. I believe she's going to be in a leadership position again. I really enjoyed Onyx Equinox and I'm looking forward to see what she brings to the table. Though I'm also sad this means there won't be a second season or a continuation of OE.

I'm not sure if there could be more 2D animation from Marvel Studios even if she has a primarily 2D background. To give an example, a lot of Disney Junior originals are CGI (most notably, the ones made by Disney Television Animation), yet many of the storyboard artists worked on a lot of the 2D Disney movies and/or TV shows from the late 1980s-early 2000s (such as Larry Leker, Jill Colbert, Francis Glebas, Hank Tucker, and Carin Anne Greco, among many others). I wouldn't be surprised if she would still work on a CGI Marvel show.

It brings to mind the article from about a month or more ago where she was talking about the importance of animation to Marvel Studios and how it was her first love, etc.

A minor note, some of the stuff coming to Disney+ on November 12 for their "Disney+ Day" event. There's nothing mentioned about Marvel Animation specifically, but there might still be some announcements.

Here's hoping for some good news .

 

[SweetShop209]

Liza Singer is now a director at Marvel Studios. Some previous credits include being a storyboard artist for Disenchantment and Harley Quinn 2019, a storyboard revisionist for the 2019 DC Superhero Girls, and a director for The Harper House.

A new rumor says a Howard the Duck animated series could be announced next month during the Disney+ Day event.

Presumably not going to Hulu this time .

Honestly, if that happens it'll be completely watered down.

If they make an animated series about Howard the Duck, do you think they could make a crossover with Disney's Ducktales?

 

[Rick Jones]

I could picture a jokey reference but not a crossover. That would take a lot of doing.

It would be amusing if they manage to squeeze in a nod to the upcoming Darkwing Duck reboot somewhere in Howard's show since the two might end up premiering together on Disney+ (again, if a Howard the Duck toon really is in the works).

 

[Frontier]

I guess Howard is now part of the thematic Disney Duck-verse .
