Marvel Rising: Secret Warriors hopes to interest and inspire its audience. Marvel Animation's first animated TV film follows a group of younger heroes: Ms. Marvel, Squirrel Girl, Patriot, Quake, America Chavez, Inferno and a few other fan-favorites, like Captain Marvel. During New York Comic Con, CBR chatted with the animated movie's executive producer, Sana Amanat, and cast about what they hope fans take from the playful project.

Amanat thinks kids will enjoy the action sequences, but hope it's the relatable themes that stick with them after the movie ends.

"I think it's so important that we have stories, particularly in pop culture, that are inspiring and positive and challenge the next generation to take in those ideals for themselves," said Amanat. "Like, yeah, you can be cool and kick butt, but can you make sure that you give your friend a second chance?"

According to Amanat, that empathetic core is the beating heart of Marvel Rising: Secret Warriors.

"Can you make sure you get to know someone that you don't understand," said Amanat. "That's the stuff that we need to start integrating over the kicking of the butts -- which we do really well -- but we also love really well, and that's a really big message for the show."

The voice of Ms. Marvel, Kathreen Khavari, was honored to be part of the animated adventure that highlights the importance of empathy and staying true to yourself.

"It feels really special that I get to help be a part of that team, especially to play Ms. Marvel, and to have these diverse female characters and all these people of color," said Khavari. "And just the friendship between Ms. Marvel and Squirrel Girl, they're so great together and so supportive of one another, but also are super goofy and are able to be themselves."

Milana Vayntrub, the voice of Squirrel Girl, hopes the film will make fans laugh while also teaching them valuable lessons that they'll apply to their everyday lives.

"As much as we want to make content that has a positive impact on the world, I think making people happy while slipping them that little spoonful of sugar with that medicine is a great way to also improve the quality of this planet," said Vayntrub.

"To me, it's a groundbreaking series because the audience it targets and the themes of relatability, inclusivity and empowerment," said Kamil McFadden, the voice of Patriot.

McFadden further elaborated on how themes of relatability, inclusivity and empowerment can help make a positive difference for the film's young audience.

"Those are necessary and those are moldable years, so they'll be very impactful for when they get older and have the mindset of trying to change the world," said McFadden. "They've seen inclusivity and equality, so that's what they're going to try to promote and try and change so they see that, so it reflects what they grew up watching."

"This kind of embodies everything that Marvel is," said Tyler Posey, the voice of Inferno. "It's got a great message, it's really fun, it's relatable even though everyone's got superpowers, and that's what I think kids are going to really dig about this."

Posey went on to praise the film's female cast, noting that the film will transcend gender boundaries, offering something for both boys and girls.

"I think the strong female cast is badass, and I think that boys and girls can take a lot from it," said Posey. "Girls will be like, 'There's someone I can finally relate to, and she's a superhero and she's the same age.'"

Posey went on to discuss the importance of staying true to yourself and presenting that message in an organic way.

"It does have great messages," said Posey. "It talks about being yourself and being honest with yourself, and those are some really impactful messages for young kids. It doesn't shove it down their throats, it's straightforward and natural."

Posey hopes Marvel Rising helps boys realize they don't need to be tough to be cool; being vulnerable is okay.

"But also the little guys watching the show can be like, 'Those girls are cool,'" said Posey. "Girls have a really interesting way of looking at life and it's softer than guys. Guys are always kind of macho, and they need to drop that. I think they can learn a lot from these girls and they're really natural, just be yourself. I think there's something everybody can take away from this."
