A series based on Marvel's Power Pack is reportedly in development for Disney+.
Here's the tweet: https://twitter.com/DanielRPK/status...73533478854658After teasing confirmation of a rumored project earlier in the day, Daniel Richtman -- who has previously been correct about unannounced projects from various studios -- wrote on Twitter, "Welp looks like not today after all but I'll tell u what it is - Power Pack show for Disney+." At this time this is unconfirmed, and should thus be taken with a grain of salt until such time as Marvel Studios or Disney officially announces the project.
Created by Louise Simonson and June Brigman, the titular team first appeared in 1984's Power Pack #1. The group is made up of Alex Power/Zero-G, Julie Power/Lightspeed, Jack Power/Mass Master and Katie Power/Energizer. They've been occasionally joined by Franklin Richards, son of Reed Richards/Mister Fantastic and Sue Storm/Invisible Woman. It's unclear how the series might relate to the Fantastic Four, who are set to join the Marvel Cinematic Universe in the future.
If true, Power Pack would be one of many shows based on Marvel characters coming to Disney+ in the future. Those other series include Hawkeye, Ms. Marvel, Moon Knight, WandaVision, Falcon and Winter Soldier and several more. Although how much is known about those shows varies, there's a lot of indication they'll connect to the films much more explicitly than Netflix's Marvel TV series did, with WandaVision said to be leading into Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness.
Note this guy has been right about many things in the past, and it's been said multiple times that Power Pack is something they're interested in.
It'll be interesting, and I wonder how they'll do it. They might run in the same issue as Harry Potter, as kids grow up fast, unlike in comic books. I also hope the X-Men join the MCU sooner even more now, as I'd love to see the Power Pack take part in crossovers with them like in the comics (such as their part in Mutant Massacre). Their close relationship with the X-Men was always cool.
I also wonder how they'll do it. Mainly because Power Pack is a book starring kids, but is not a kids book. It's straight superhero action that was played just as seriously as the X-Men, Spider-Man, Daredevil and the like, and covered themes like bullying, guns in school, genocide, and child abuse, and they fought legitimate supervillains that were dangerous. I mean, just look at the damn pic above. It's telling that the majority of the Power Pack's fanbase does NOT consist of kids, but rather adults who appreciate the mature storytelling. I hope it doesn't get watered down into a dumb kids' show, but I trust Feige will get it right.
Oh, and unicorn aliens is a meme waiting to happen.
