Synopsis

Marvel's 616 (2020), Season 1 is a Disney+ documentary you can watch online on iFILM — eight episodes, each handed to a different filmmaker.

There's no single thread here; every episode stands on its own. One digs up the Japanese Spider-Man who swapped his motorcycle for a giant robot. Others turn to cosplayers, action-figure collectors, the obscure characters nobody remembers, and the women writers and artists whose names rarely made the cover. One sits down with the old "Marvel Method," where a writer hands an artist a plot summary instead of finished dialogue. The last one follows teenagers staging Marvel stories as short plays.

It's for the fans who care about how the work gets made, not the next blockbuster. Stream Marvel's 616 Season 1 online on iFILM.
