Trivia[]
- While given the preface of "Marvel's", the series is actually produced directly by Disney Television Animation.
- The series premiere is set to coincide with the release of a new comic book series.
- While this is the first co-production between Disney TVA and Marvel, this isn't the first collaboration between both; Marvel Comics previously published comics based on series from The Disney Afternoon, such as Gargoyles.
- This is the first Disney series in which Diamond White plays the protagonist.
- This is the second show (after some episodes of What If...?) to be animated by the Belgian-owned Australian production company Flying Bark Productions.
- This is the second Disney Channel animated series in which has a "African-American" for the main protagonist, first series being The Proud Family & it's reboot.
- This is the third Disney Channel animated series that originally premiered on a Friday, but then would later premiere future episodes on Saturdays, following The Ghost and Molly McGee and Hamster & Gretel.
- This and Hamster & Gretel are the last DTVA animated shows to feature serialized elements and story arcs, due to the announcement on October 2021 that Disney Television Animation would be moving story-driven shows away from Disney Channel (future story-driven shows will be on Disney+ instead) and move onto more episodic-musical shows.
- The Owl House was originally going to be the last DTVA series to be serialized/story-driven.
- This is overall the 9th and final series by DTVA to be serialized/story-driven and to air on Disney Channel.
- Following Gravity Falls, Star vs. the Forces of Evil, Rapunzel's Tangled Adventure, DuckTales (2017), Big Hero 6: The Series, Amphibia, The Owl House, and Hamster & Gretel.
