Marvel Comics has been spewing out waves of new media content. The latest creation from Marvel is a new animated feature called Next Avengers: Heroes of Tomorrow.
The story is set in the future and revolves around the children of the current Avengers. Sometime in the future, the Avengers got sloppy and retired. Then Ultron came back and vanquished our heroes, but not before they could hide their children.
Although the series starts off with a dark history, the film looks to be aimed primarily towards children and tweens in both look and feel.
Chris Yost, writer for X-Force and Emperor Vulcan, had this to say on the new feature:
“This is a fun adventure film, starring a really young cast of kids… But at the same time, the stakes are incredibly high, literally the survival of humanity. The situation is grim. And while all that seems like it could be a big bummer, we keep the kids so busy running for their lives that they don’t have a lot of time to think about it.”
“If you do know the classic characters, and do know the history, then there is a TON of stuff packed into the movie. Nothing distracting, nothing that will take people out of the moment, but there’s going to be plenty of goodness for hardcore Avengers fans.”
Check out the Trailer:
Why such a dramatic trailer for such slapstick looking characters? I haven’t liked any of the recent marvel animated films. But i am looking forward to Iron Man and Hulk. Hopefully those go well.
