Marvel HQ is airing promotional videos announcing that it will begin airing the Marvel Future Avengers anime from May 31. The anime is scheduled to air regularly on Mondays through Fridays at 6:30 p.m. IST.
The anime follows Makoto, a young boy who gains superpowers due to an evil gene manipulation experiment by Hydra. Makoto and other youths join the Avengers as apprentices named "Future Avengers." The anime shows Makoto and others as they train, fight villains, and grow — all under Avengers members Iron Man, Captain America, Hulk, Thor, and Wasp.
The first season premiered on Dlife in Japan in July 2017. The anime's second season debuted in July 2018, and it focused on the Inhumans.
Yūzō Satō (Iron Man, Gokusen, Kaiji) directed both seasons of the anime at the Studio Madhouse, and Japanese writer Ryuu King (Dragon Ball Super scripts, Marvel Disk Wars: The Avengers) was in charge of the series scripts. Takahiro Umehara (Iron Man, Beyblade, Claymore) designed the characters.
Teruaki Mizuno (Kyōryū Taisen Dinobout, Metallica Metalluca) drew a manga version that debuted in Shogakukan's Bessatsu Coro Coro Comics Special magazine in February 2017.
Marvel previously teamed up with Madhouse to create the Iron Man, Wolverine, X-Men, and Blade television anime series. Voot Kids began streaming Marvel Anime: Iron Man in India in May 2020. Netflix began streaming Marvel Anime: X-Men and Marvel Anime: Wolverine in India on December 16.
Marvel and Madhouse also created the Iron Man: Rise of Technovore film in 2013, and the Avengers Confidential: Black Widow & Punisher film in 2014.
Marvel and Toei Animation collaborated on the Marvel Disk Wars: The Avengers television anime series, which premiered in Japan in April 2014.
