With Disney+ and the announced miniseries, everyone thought that it was the end for Marvel TV's continuity. Funny thing is, Marvel TV is still alive and kicking, and they're set to make some shows for Disney+ as well. What's also interesting is there looks to be a horror anthology series featuring several characters.
Talking to Deadline, Marvel TV chief Jeph Loeb talked up a show called Adventure into Fear. He says:
"Then we started having the same conversation, which was there is in the comic book world the Spirit of Vengeance, and they are this sort of unusual group of characters, which involve Ghost Rider, which involve Hellstrom, which involve Hellstrom's sister, Anna. We suddenly saw that there were three or four shows that we could put together that we now refer to as Adventure into Fear."
While Deadline thought this was going to be a new branch of "Marvel Horror", Loeb replied with:
"No, it's terror, because when you say horror, it means so many different things. There's everything from Saw, which is the last thing that we want to do, gore-fest kind of thing to there's a monster running around. What we love is the notion of how we can present a Marvel hero who was truly feared and truly believed that they were a monster, but that, as the stories go on, they realize, oh, I'm the hero of the story, I'm not the villain of the story."
When it comes to Adventure into Fear, some fans also thought if this was a platform that they were going to introduce Man-Thing. With DC just cancelling their Swamp Thing, you'd think that Marvel could give it some time to breath before they start making a series which included their own swamp monster.
We don't know when these upcoming shows will release on Disney+, but hopefully they step up on the quality if they want to be taken seriously by the main MCU.
Disney+ is set to launch on Nov. 12.
