Trevor’s jail sentence did not sit proper with him, and he realized he “will not be fulfilled” if he simply sat again and did nothing, so he acted on his intestine intuition and sacrificed the anonymity of his powers.

Visitor and co-creator Destin Daniel Cretton have excessive hopes for a continuation of the story. The truth is, they not solely wish to see Disney greenlight Marvel Man season 2, however in addition they wish to see the present’s characters be featured in different Marvel tasks.

For these two filmmakers, it isn’t a matter of selecting only one choice. “I do not assume we may select one or the opposite,” Visitor admitted.

I am interested by that…However what I do love about Simon, which I noticed immediately, is to start with we see him within the tiny [trailer] going over his script. After which towards the tip, we see him within the massive star wagon [trailer] and he is nonetheless going over his script. In order that tells me that he will be all proper.”
