Appears that Marvel has struck not only a chord but gold with its upcoming Marvel Rising animation franchise. After revealing the official theme song a few weeks ago, today it unveiled the latest trailer for the Marvel Rising: Secret Wars animated feature set to be released September 30 on DisneyXD.
But that’s not all! Today, it was announced that Hasbro would be teaming up with Disney and Marvel to create a line of toys and merch based on the Marvel Rising franchise. Considering the tremendous success DC Comics has had with the DC Super Hero Girls line aimed at the young girl demographic and criticism over the lack of female toy characters in the past (most notably Black Widow) it appears that Disney realizes that it can still cater to the girl demographic beyond the Disney Princess brand. Be on the lookout for Marvel Rising merch in October.
Even Super Heroes have to make curfew! In the world of MARVEL RISING, super-powered kids balance their ordinary lives with their extraordinary ones to discover that their greatest powers lie within! Strong on their own, but even stronger as a team, these super teens use their unique skills and experiences to unlock their potential and find the confidence to better the world! With MARVEL RISING, heroes like GHOST-SPIDER, SQUIRREL GIRL, AND MS. MARVEL ignite their inner power and team up to protect the world. With Marvel Rising, the mission is clear: Stand Out. Rise Together!
HASBRO is teaming up with MARVEL and DISNEY to launch MARVEL RISING, a new line of MARVEL toys inspired by the Marvel Rising entertainment, where a diverse team of everyday teens utilizes their secret super powers to change the world and rise to their full potential! This dynamic line includes 11-inch-scale dolls that feature multiple points of articulation, soft goods, rooted hair, and super hero, training and civilian outfits. Kids can also recreate awesome adventures with innovative role play gear such as the GHOST-SPIDER WEB SLINGER!
