MARVEL'S 616


Marvel.com describes "MARVEL'S 616" as "an anthological documentary series exploring the intersection between Marvel’s rich legacy of stories, characters and creators and the world outside your window. Told through the lens of a diverse group of filmmakers, each documentary will dive into the rich historical, cultural and societal context that has become inseparable from stories of the Marvel Universe."

IMDb lists "7 Episodes" in Season 1, and I had since given up searching for a "trailer", amidst all the reaction videos to to sneak peeks revealed thus far online (embedded below) ... all of this due to me seeing a ComicCon@Home-video (see below embed) - which perhaps to someone who has lapsed in continued collection of comics for the past decade - am somewhat intrigued to find out "what's up" from the source, as opposed to the bountiful of reaction videos from folks who read/collect (current) Marvel comics :p

OR you can argue I'm here to see what all the "hype" is about, and I will not correct you, cheers :)

Scroll thru for more, and await premiere somewhen on Disney Plus.

"Marvel’s 616 explores how Marvel’s rich legacy of stories, characters and creators exist within the “world outside your window.” Each documentary, helmed by a unique filmmaker, explores the intersections of storytelling, pop culture and fandom within the Marvel Universe. Join directors Gillian Jacobs, Paul Scheer, and executive producers Sarah Amos and Jason Sterman as they discuss the making of this Disney+ original anthology series with moderator Angélique Roché."

Episode 2 Sneak Peek: Higher, Further, Faster
"Higher, further, faster! Take off with this sneak peek at Marvel’s 616, which shines a light on the trailblazing women of Marvel Comics and explores how they found ways to tell stories of representation and inclusion. Helmed by actor and director Gillian Jacobs (Community, Love), the episode takes audiences through Marvel’s storied history by introducing them to women from the House of Ideas’ past and present who have helped build the Marvel Universe one story and character at a time. #Marvel616 is streaming soon on #DisneyPlus."

Episode 4 Sneak Peek: Lost and Found
"Actor and comedian Paul Scheer (Black Monday, The League) is on the hunt to discover the “forgotten” characters of Marvel Comics. Speaking to an array of experts and fans, this episode takes an untraditional and humorous approach to introduce audiences to a collection of obscure, wild, and sometimes bizarre cast of characters. Along his journey, Paul will discover what makes a great Marvel character and uncover an unlikely force to be reckoned with. #Marvel616 is streaming soon on #DisneyPlus."


And if you (like myself) was/were wondering "What the heck is "616"?" ... According to Marvel.fandom.com, "Earth-616" is "is the mainstream continuity of the Marvel multiverse and where most of Marvel's comics take place." ... and I wonder if this also means the Marvel Cinematic Universe equivalent? Time will tell, I suppose...
