Disney+ Announces Marvel's Behind The Mask Documentary Special Airing February 12

Disney+ and Marvel have announced Marvel's Behind the Mask, a new upcoming documentary special slated to hit the streaming service on February 12. You can check out the official trailer for the special below.

Marvel's Behind the Mask will let fans behind the curtain to "discover the inspiration behind Marvel's greatest heroes" in what looks to be a deep dive into the company's history and evolving creative philosophies.

According to an announcement posted on Marvel's website, the documentary will also "feature guests from across Marvel’s 80-year legacy, including the writers and artists behind the rise of characters like Black Panther, Miles Morales, Ms. Marvel, Luke Cage, the X-Men, Captain Marvel, and many other characters in the Marvel Universe, highlighting Marvel’s impact on pop culture and media." The documentary will serve as a nice counterpart for Marvel Studio: Legends, a new series that revisits some of the most iconic moments from the MCU, one character at a time.

The film is directed by Michael Jacobs and produced by Chris Gary and Ryan Simon for Tarmac Creative and Strike Anywhere. Joe Quesada, Shane Rahmani, Stephen Wacker, John Cerilli, Harry Go, and Sarah Amos serve as executive producers for Marvel.

Given everything going on and about to get underway with Marvel and Phase 4 this year, the time is just about right for a look back at how far Marvel--and the artform of comics--has come.
