Marvel Entertainment announced a new project, called Marvel Rising, a while back. The animation franchise, launching this year, will feature some of Marvel Comics’ most exciting and diverse superheroes, including Ms. Marvel, Squirrel Girl, Quake, Spider-Gwen, Lockjaw, and America Chavez.
Now, Marvel has released a whole bunch of character designs for the first feature-length animated film in the franchise, Secret Warriors. To have a flick through them, just click on the main image up there, that’ll fire up our gallery.
Here’s the official synopsis for Secret Warriors:
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.
There’s loads more info about the direction Marvel is taking the gang over at its official press release for the film.
More as we have it.
