Icons Unearthed from The Nacelle Company is about to focus on the Marvel universe. A new season of the documentary anthology series has been ordered by VICE TV. The series, Icons Unearthed: Marvel, will delve into the Marvel Cinematic Universe and offers a look behind the scenes at some of the largest properties in the entertainment industry. On VICE TV, the new show makes its debut on March 7. Icons Unearthed: Marvel, directed by Brian Volk-Weiss, will include exclusive interviews with notable figures from the entertainment industry and the comic book industry, such as Clark Gregg, Todd McFarlane, J. Michael Straczynski, Charlie Wen, Margaret Loesch, Lou Ferrigno, Fred Raskin, Roger Corman, Shepherd Frankel, Bob Layton, Fernando Serzedelo, Val Mayerik, Oley Sassone, Maya Shimoguchi, and others
“While we were excited about the first three chapters of the Icons Unearthed series, it’s the Marvel season that we’ve had circled on the calendar since the beginning,” Peter Gaffney, VICE TV SVP of Content Strategy, says in a statement. “I grew up as a Marvel kid, and I still have boxes of comics in my attic, so it’s personally very exciting to me to have the world premiere of this epic story on our network.”
“You can’t have a discussion about the most impactful franchises in film history without bringing up the Marvel Cinematic Universe. We’re excited to pull the curtain back and explore how the MCU became the juggernaut it currently is. Here’s a hint, it’s due to the highest tolerance for risk in Hollywood history,” adds Nacelle Company CEO Brian Volk-Weiss.
Each season of Icons Unearthed focuses on a different subject. Previous seasons covered Star Wars, The Simpsons, and Fast & Furious.
Volk-Weiss, Cisco Henson, Alyssa Michek, and Ben Frost are executive producers on Icons Unearthed: Marvel. Pete Gaffney, Falguni Lakhani-Adams, and Andrea Brakke are overseeing the series for Vice TV.
