EXECUTIVE PRODUCER EXCLUSIVE
Double Trouble
A new heroine brings gadgets and a T. rex to the party in Marvel’s Moon Girl And Devil Dinosaur
IN ACTOR LAURENCE FISHBURNE’S LONG and esteemed stage and screen career, there are plenty of roles he’s taken just because he’s a lifelong comic book geek. He’s voiced the Silver Surfer, run the Daily Planet as editor Perry White and as Dr Bill Foster he scrapped against Ant-Man and the Wasp. But now he’s finally getting to steer some comic book adventures as executive producer of Disney Animation’s Marvel’s Moon Girl And Devil Dinosaur series.
As an avid comic book reader and part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe family, Fishburne tells Red Alert that he’s had an ongoing conversation with Marvel executives about doing something inside their universe with his Cinema Gypsy Productions partner, Helen Sugland. “I was presented with the Moon Girl And Devil Dinosaur comic, and I was like, ‘Wow, this is perfect for our time and for what’s going on right now.’ And the opportunity to jump into the animation space for me was a welcome one.”
