Disney Channel Developing Animated Marvel Series About Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur

It looks like Disney Channel is getting in on some more Marvel fun. According to a brand-new report, the network is working on an animated series focused on Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur with one all-star crew.

Deadline is reporting that Disney Channels Worldwide is developing the animated series. Executive producers Laurence Fishburne and Helen Sugland will oversee the project via Cinema Gypsy Productions and Marvel Animation.

The animated series will adapt Moon Girl’s popular comic book series. There is no official synopsis for the developing show, but it will tell the adventures of Lunella Lafayette.

The pair put their heads together to save the day time and again from various evil villains.

“I went to Marvel and pitched them something that really couldn’t work out—there was a lot of legal red tape that just [was] something they couldn’t work out,” Fishburne explained. “But then they came back with the offer for Ant-Man and the Wasp and then they said, ‘Hey, what do you think of this?’ and I went ‘Oh yeah that, yes!’ so…”
