Disney Releases Trailer for ‘Marvel’s Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur’

Written by John Edward Betancourt 

There was a time, where it seemed as though the Marvel Cinematic Universe was only going to thrive on the silver screen, and understandably so. For every single MCU film that arrived in theatres, dominated the competition, and pleased fans endlessly with proper, big budget adaptations of comic book stories the fans had yearned for, for decades on end. So why not just let these event films rule the day and let that happiness reign? But Marvel Studios, headed by visionary producer Kevin Feige, wanted to do so much more with this universe, and properly highlight all of its unique stories beyond the Avengers and other well-known heroes and something magical came out of the decision to expand the MCU.
​
Such as MCU stories that found their way onto the small screen via Disney+, and through new animated features in theaters such as Into the Spider-Verse, so that the rich nature of the source material could be explored by all, and properly celebrated, and it even allowed for heroes that aren’t discussed enough… to have their day in the sun. Such as Moon Knight, and well, the diverse and imaginative nature of the MCU is top of mind today, simply because… another unique and enriching Marvel story, is about to arrive on the small screen. For February 10, 2023, will see Marvel’s Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur debut on the Disney Channel, with the first six episodes available on Disney+ on February 15. 

Which is an animated adaptation of Amy Reeder and Brandon Monclare’s wildly popular and acclaimed comic book series of the same name, and it is also an important and inspiring series. One that is going to receive great care in the world of television and provide its audience with wonderful meaning, and for proof… then look no further than the gifts Disney bestowed upon fans today. For earlier, Disney released a trailer, a synopsis, and even some Key-Art and a Soundtrack Pre-Save Link, to prepare fans for this wondrous series and showcase how great it is going to be, and with that in mind, here are all of those gifts to peruse as we prepare to be wowed by another incredible adaptation from a universe of storytelling that knows no bounds.
