Marvel Entertainment released the trailer for Marvel’s Behind the Mask, the upcoming documentary special debuting on 12 February on Disney+.
Marvel’s Behind the Mask dives into the creative process behind bringing Marvel’s superheroes to life in comics, and how they’ve reigned over the hearts of millions over decades.
The trailer features clips of comic book creators like Joe Quesada and Brian Michael Bendis, celebrities like Darryl McDaniels of Run DMC, and scholars discussing the power of Marvel’s superheroes. Marvel previously released a synopsis of what to expect from the new Disney+ streaming documentary:
From the very inception of comic books, secret identities have been an integral part of both super heroes and villains leading ‘normal’ lives. But it’s the characters beneath that resonate within us across generations of fans. Since the advent of the Marvel Age of Comics in the early 1960s, Marvel’s writers and artists have used the notion of identities to examine the evolving concept of equal rights. These legendary Marvel creations and stories have not only reflected the world outside our window – they have become a reflection of our own identities and who we truly are.
Produced by Marvel New Media with Tarmac Creative and directed by Michael Jacobs, Marvel’s Behind the Mask will have guests, writers and artists behind the characters like Black Panther, Miles Morales, Ms. Marvel, Luke Cage, the X-Men, Captain Marvel, and many others.
Marvel’s Behind the Mask debuts on 12 February 2020.
