After a long journey on MVM covering Daredevil, Jessica Jones, Luke Cage, and Iron Fist, we finally arrive at The Defenders! We’ll take you behind the scenes on the Marvel / Netflix TV deal, the making of The Defenders show, and find out whether or not it was a hit! Then we’ll take you behind the page on the team-that’s-not-a-team, from its crazy sci-fi 70’s origins with Dr Strange, Prince Namor, and the Hulk, and how they're connected to Daredevil, Jessica Jones, Luke Cage, Iron Fist and Elektra! We’ll take a deep-dive into the first two episodes of The Defenders, and pull them apart scene-by-scene in the way that only MVM can! We'll explore whether Daredevil and Luke Cage count as "official" members of the original Defenders, we'll find out about the supporting cast member of this TV show that definitely IS a member of the original Defenders, we'll dig into the tragic story of Elektra's resurrection, the deadly leaders of The Hand, and what happened the first time Luke Cage met Iron Fist!

This week we head back into the MVM archives to take you behind the scenes on the making of the 2011 Thor movie! We’ll explore the failed attempts to make a Thor movie in the 90’s and 2000’s - from Sam Raimi, to Matthew Vaughan, to Guillermo del Toro! We’ll dive into Kenneth Branagh’s long fandom with Marvel Comics and the stories of Thor, and the big conflicts he had with Kevin Feige and Marvel Studios! We’ll take you inside the casting of the movie, the big name stars who nearly wielded the hammer, how Chris Hemsworth and Tom Hiddleston got their roles, and the disdain that Anthony Hopkins has for this movie! We also dig-in to just how important this movie was to the success of Marvel Studios - after the failure of Incredible Hulk, Marvel badly needed Thor to be a hit!

This series also introduced original X-Men characters like Storm’s nephew Spyke, and Wolverine’s clone X-23 aka Laura! We’ll take you behind the scenes on the making of X-Men Evolution, and what it took to become the successor to X-Men The Animated Series! We’ll dive into the creation, the network constrictions, the merchandise tie-ins and everything else! Then we’ll take you behind the page on the X-Men in the 90’s and the COLLAPSE of the greatest franchise in the history of American comic books! We’ll put the spotlight on a truly dire decade for the mutants, how it got so bad, and what it took to save the X-Men! Plus we’ll take a deep-dive into 4 episodes of X-Men Evolution, pull them apart scene-by-scene and bring you tons of Marvel history and trivia about Magneto, Nightcrawler, Havok, Spyke, and so much more!
