Premise

Development

The series was announced as one of the two documentaries by Marvel for Disney+ on April 10, 2019. The editors at Marvel Comics found some innovative ways to include these kids as superheros and to surprise them by revealing they are immortalised in Marvel Comics.

Release

Dave Trumbore writing for Collider said, "Disney+ delivers an endearing, empowering docuseries". CNET's Bonnie Burton said, "Marvel's Hero Project on Disney Plus spotlights real kids making a difference." Matt Fowler for IGN said. "Marvel's Hero Project is a well-intentioned and nicely-presented packaging of profiles featuring some uniquely inspiring young warriors willfully making the world a better place. It's not entirely suited for a 30 minute format, and you can often feel the strain, but it's never not uplifting."
