An anthology documentary will take a behind-the-scenes look at the beloved superhero franchise.
Marvel has two previews of its new Disney anthology documentary series, titled Marvel’s 616.
Each episode of the next series will be directed through another filmmaker and will be in another facet of the Marvel universe.
The new clips correspond to episodes directed through Gillian Jacobs and Paul Scheer.

Jacobs is known for her role in the popular sitcom community, as well as for her role in Judd Apatow’s Netflix series Love.
Scheer is the author of Big Mouth, the Netflix animation that focuses on the hormonal difficulties of a teen organization at puberty.
Jacobs’ episode, “Higher, Farther, Faster,” features interviews with women who direct the scenes in Marvel.
Marvel Entertainment Vice President Sana Amant talks about Brie Larson’s enthusiastic reaction to the 2019 film Captain Marvel, that the company wants to “do more” with the character.
Lover also shows how Kamala Khan’s character, also known as Ms. Marvel, was encouraged through her own reports as a young Muslim woman. Ms. Marvel is one of the characters who will take a standout in the upcoming Marvel’s Avengers video game, released through Square Enix.
Scheer’s episode, on the other hand, titled “Lost and Found,” examines why some Marvel characters were welcomed into the mainstream, while others, such as Dr. Druid or Typeface, never were.
