Story
Marvel describes the story as, "When a threat no one could have expected bears down on the Marvel Universe, this ragtag, untrained band of teens have no choice but to rise together and prove to the world that sometimes the difference between a 'hero' and 'misfit' is just in the name."

Background
Marvel Rising is a multi-platform animation franchise that will launch in 2018.

The feature will be proceeded by six four-minute digital shorts spotlighting the characters, based on recently created characters in Marvel Comics.

Senior Vice President of Animation and Family Entertainment Cort Lane said of the project, "Marvel characters are so relatable because they live in our world and face the same challenges we do. So I’m very excited that our Marvel Rising team of heroes is so inclusive, reflecting characters with different backgrounds, particularly a set of strong female leads that our young audience can connect with."

Director of Content and Character Development Sana Amanat added, "This project is unlike anything we've done before, from featuring the rising and fan-favorite stars of the Marvel Universe, to a visually distinct animation style, this is a groundbreaking animated event. It's an action-packed adventure, full of comedy, heart and powerful messages for every kind of Marvel fan."
