Rumours of Marvel Animation studios first appeared earlier this year after job postings surfaced online, and it seems like the new “animation branch and mini studio” is a new development under the Feige- and Alonso-led company.
Additionally, Alonso also noted that there are “a few other shows” that will come out before the end of the year, includes Ms. Marvel and Hawkeye. With this in mind, it seems like we’ll be ending the year on a good note.
