Marvel has announced an all-new schedule of digital series featuring a variety of programming for both die-hard and casual fans alike.
These new digital series include relaunched versions of its continuing popular shows such as This Week in Marvel and Women of Marvel, and new series like Earth’s Mightiest Show, Marvel’s Voices, Marvel’s Eat the Universe and Marvel’s first-ever scripted podcast Wolverine: The Long Night for fans to enjoy.
This Week in Marvel
This Week in Marvel offers a weekly long-form, up-tempo, deep dive into everything a fan not only wants, but needs to know about their favorite Marvel characters and stories. Hosts Ryan Penagos and Jamie Frevele lay out all the amazing, uncanny, and astonishing details bouncing around the Marvel Universe that week, engage with the community, and conduct in-depth podcast and on-camera interviews with an array of creatives—both within the House of Ideas, and those inspired by the Marvel brand.
Earth’s Mightiest Show
Earth’s Mightiest Show, hosted by Lorraine Cink and Langston Belton, is the weekly showcase of how the Marvel Universe has extended and impacted fandom and culture both at home and around the world. From interviews with celebrities and creators, to on-location tours and games, Earth’s Mightiest Show is a snackable celebration of the creativity and fun contained within the Marvel Universe and beyond. From the super-fan to those new to the Marvel Universe, Earth’s Mightiest Show will have something for everyone.
Women of Marvel
Women of Marvel is a bi-weekly podcast and series of on-camera interviews co-hosted by Sana Amanat and Judy Stephens. Women of Marvel provides a true behind-the-scenes look into the storytelling process at Marvel through the prism of the women working in an industry that has been historically male dominated. Women of Marvel celebrates the stories of both the creative forces that have built Marvel’s legacy as well as many other amazing women across pop culture.
Marvel’s Voices
The world outside our window is filled with a menagerie of unique people. Marvel’s Voiceshighlights how these different perspectives make for the best stories by shining a spotlight on the creators bringing diverse characters, viewpoints, and voices to the forefront of the entertainment industry. Hosted by Angelique Roche and released bi-weekly as both a podcast and set of video clips, these in-depth interviews are rooted in Marvel, but branch out into all walks of life, from literature to comedy to STEM.
Marvel’s Eat the Universe
In Marvel’s Eat the Universe, celebrity Chef Justin Warner welcomes a wide-array of pop culture influencers into his kitchen to cook dishes inspired by Marvel’s rich comic history and talk about their love of the brand, Super Heroes, life, food and everything in between.
Wolverine: The Long Night
Wolverine: The Long Night Marvel’s highly anticipated first-ever scripted podcast, made its debut earlier last month with top podcast listening service and content network Stitcher. The Wolverine: The Long Night story is a captivating hybrid of mystery and the larger-scale fantasy of the Marvel Universe. It follows agents Sally Pierce (Celia Keenan-Bolger) and Tad Marshall (Ato Essandoh) as they arrive in the fictional town of Burns, Alaska, to investigate a series of murders and quickly discover the town lives in fear of a serial killer. The agents team up with deputy Bobby Reid (Andrew Keenan-Bolger) to investigate their main suspect, Logan (Richard Armitage). Their search leads them on a fox hunt through the mysterious and corrupt town.
“Marvel New Media is focused on nurturing a more intimate and approachable relationship with both our super fans and casual fans by embracing and refreshing Marvel’s fundamental brand attributes, and by redefining how those fans experience the Marvel Universe across all platforms,” said Dan Silver, vice president, head of platforms and content for Marvel New Media. “As we launch and expand these new digital series, we will be introducing fans to a whole new perspective of the brand to reflect the core values of Marvel, our heroes, and extending into the real-life Super Heroes that inspire us every day.”
