Marvel Releases MPower Disney+ Documentary Series Trailer

Marvel Studios is giving the ladies the spotlight with their new trailer for MPower, a four-part documentary series on Disney+. In this show, the evolution of women heroes is explained by the people who help bring them to life. The characters focused on in the first grouping are the women of Wakanda, Captain Marvel, Scarlet Witch, and Gamora from Guardians of the Galaxy. With how much love exists for each of these characters, there's something for all fans to enjoy when it comes to the individual entries. In fact, they got the actors that play a lot of these heroes to sit down and give their thoughts on what makes them so compelling.

"MPower is a tribute to women's representation and empowerment," Zoe Saldana said of the series with Marvel.com. "We're enthused to have the involvement of a diverse group of women whose voices and stories will serve as a source of inspiration. Our hope is that this series will ignite meaningful conversations and drive real change towards a more equal and inclusive world."

"Every hero has an epic origin story and so does this series," added Executive Producer Justin W. Hochberg. "When I conceived MPower, I did it out of love for my teen daughter so she would have more icons to look up to, voices to learn from, and role models to help her impact the world. Today, that vision is now a reality thanks to Brie Larsen, Elizabeth Olsen, the women of Wakanda, and, Zoë Saldaña, whose leadership was 'Mpowering.'"
