The Marvel Superheroes Come To Disney.com…In Lego Form
There’s another movie set in the Marvel universe coming soon, which can only mean one thing: Another companion web series, of course. This time, the studio has teamed up with Lego and Disney for Maximum Overload, an animated series featuring all of the big Marvel superheroes.
Marvel has previously used web companions to hype a number of its productions, including X-Men Origins: Wolverine and recent TV debut Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. This time, the superhero flick du jour is Thor: The Dark World, which comes out the weekend after Maximum Overload’s debut.
Sure enough, the web companion features a generous helping of Thor and his Asgardian brother Loki, but it also features a cavalcade of Marvel heroes, including characters like Spiderman and Wolverine who haven’t yet been included in the Avengers film universe. Oh, and they’re all Legos, adding another brand tie-in to the mix.
Maximum Overload runs for for five five-minute episodes, all of which are available on the Disney website.
