The challenges contain working intently with the better MCU, making certain that we do not reveal something too quickly or play with a personality that’s not able to be revealed. It is a delicate act the place each are contributing to a film concept collectively.
What made it simple and on the similar time tough for you in animation?
We’re fairly free; we do not have to be tremendous aligned with what’s going on within the MCU as a result of it’s a huge multiverse. We are able to discover each character freely, which was quite a lot of enjoyable for us and, hopefully, for the followers too. They get to see totally different superheroes at totally different ranges.
Dr. Unusual into the Unusual Supreme is sort of a tricky job. Did you count on such overwhelming and vast acceptance for that character, or was it unintentional?
We knew it could be sturdy. Initially, we wished one thing darkish and robust with Dr. Unusual, and our head author AC Bradley got here up with a private expertise that reframed it. I knew folks would find it irresistible, however I didn’t count on such large love. The character and the massive swing we took to create it have been so passionate.

I can not anticipate folks to see that. I do know folks will prefer it, and we consider in that.
