Marvel Studios at SDCC: everything we learned about the MCU's new animated shows – including X-Men
Marvel Studios gave us exclusive new glimpses of their upcoming slate of animated shows at San Diego Comic-Con – and we couldn't be more hyped for the return of Peter Parker, the X-Men, and Groot to our screens.
We got our first look at shows like X-Men '97, Spider-Man: Freshman Year, and Marvel Zombies, as well as episode previews of I Am Groot and What If…? season 2. That's a lot of animated goodness coming to Disney Plus in the next couple of years.
If you're not one of the lucky ones at Comic-Con, we've got you covered. Here's everything we learned about the MCU's next batch of animated shows from the Marvel Studios panel at SDCC.
First up at the panel was I Am Groot. The upcoming show all about the tiny tree will cover the character's childhood across five shorts. Vin Diesel is back to voice Groot, while Bradley Cooper will also be lending his voice to the series. Writer/director Kristen Lepore introduced the first trailer for the show ahead of its August 10 release – and one of the shorts, "Groot Takes a Bath," was even screened for SDCC attendees. In it, Groot takes a spa day in the woods – and goes up against a mischievous bird, according to our reporter in the room.
The very first look at Spider-Man: Freshman Year debuted at the panel. The artwork is suitably comic book-style, and Peter Parker looks like his usual smiley self.
