Premise

The series follows the young heroes who are making remarkable and positive change across communities by dedicating their lives in self less acts of bravery and kindness. Every kid featured in the show has their own Marvel comic.

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

The first episode of the series launched on November 12, 2019 as one of the first titles for Disney+ with a new episode on every Friday. The series will have 20 episodes in total.

The website's critical consensus reads, "A heartwarming and powerful glimpse into the lives of some real life heroes, Marvel's Hero Project finds inspiration in a new generation of innovators". Metacritic, which uses a weighted average, assigned a score of 54 out of 100 based on 5 critics, indicating "mixed or average reviews".

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."
