In collaboration with Hasbro, this new motion comics series of shorts will follow genius inventor Tony Stark, aka Iron Man, as he creates a new nanotech launch pad that allows his elite team of Avengers, aka his Stunt Squad, to fly through the air, show off their moves, and perform awesome heroic feats as they take their battles against Marvel’s meanest baddies to delightful new heights! Witness new high-flying adventures featuring Hulk, Black Panther, and Captain Americas Steve Rogers and Sam Wilson, premiering globally February 11 across Marvel HQ’s worldwide YouTube channels. Episodes will release regularly through April 2023, and later this month, Hasbro will bring characters from the shorts to life in a new upcoming toy line.
Adding to Marvel HQ’s premieres, the Avengers are back in MARVEL MECH STRIKE: MECHASAURS this March, only on Marvel HQ’s worldwide YouTube channels! In this third season of the popular Marvel Mech Strike short-form series, Ultron has returned to take over humanity…by sending it back to the PREHISTORIC AGE! When all hope seems lost, Shuri and Iron Man discover a new Mech Strike armor to give them a fighting chance. But will the combined might and ingenuity of the Avengers be enough to save the world? Following the success of the first two Marvel Mech Strike seasons, fans won’t want to miss exciting new MARVEL MECH STRIKE: MECHASAURS episodes, videos and digital activities, toys, collectibles, apparel, and more coming later this year.

Marvel Comics will also join the celebration this year with an all-new Avengers comic book series, starting with AVENGERS #1 on sale in May!

Villa (X-Men), this new era will see Captain Marvel leading a team of some of Marvel’s greatest icons, including Iron Man, Thor, Captain America, Black Panther, Scarlet Witch, and Vision, as they assemble once more to face The Tribulation Events and a new and insidious danger rearing its head: one that the Avengers know all too well, and one that comes to them in the most dangerous of guises – that of a friend.
Since the Avengers first debuted in The Avengers #1 in 1963, Marvel’s iconic team of Super Heroes has stood united against countless threats against humanity. With a continuously changing roster of living legends, the Avengers today are now one of the most recognizable Super Hero teams in pop culture.
