From Friday, 13 April to Sunday, April 22, DStv Premium customers will experience an unprecedented
cinematic journey with the M-Net Movies Marvel Studios Pop-Up
Channel. This super-powered channel, which will be added to the
already existing six M-Net Movies channels on DStv, will be available
for ten days only on channel 109 and will feature 15 of the most
pulsating films from the massively popular Marvel Studios franchise.
During these ten days, the M-Net Movies
Marvel Studios Pop-Up Channel will run from 5 am to 11 pm daily. Each
day of the week a film from the franchise, which has overlapping
storylines, will be screened in chronological order, i.e. according
to how the films were released in cinema. Starting with 2008’s Iron
Man, viewers can revisit the stories of their beloved heroes all the
way through to Spiderman: Homecoming, which will close the channel on
Sunday 22, April.
“This channel is a special treat for
the legions of Marvel fans—both old and new—who have enjoyed the
live-action exploits of favourite Marvel Superheroes in films that
express the unique vision and creativity of their filmmakers and
deliver thrilling action and visual spectacles with relatable
characters,” says Wangi Mba-Uzoukwu Regional Director, M-Net West
Africa. “The timing of our M-Net Movies Marvels Studios Pop-Up
Channel is also absolutely perfect with the franchise currently
creating an incredible buzz worldwide"
The release of the recent Black Panther
became the biggest film of all time, showing that Marvel Studios is
at the forefront of the comic-book-turned-action-pop-c ulture
phenomenon. While the M-Net Movies Marvel Pop-Up channel will give
DStv viewers the opportunity to enjoy more gems of the franchise,
which has been ten years in the making, it also serves as a lead-up
to the new Avengers: Infinity War which hits cinemas on Friday, 27
April 2018.
On top of the 15 feature films, there
will also be programming linked to the behind the scenes of the
movies, such as United We Stand, Divided We Fall; The Making of
Captain America: Civil War; Guide to The Galaxy with James Gunn and
more.
Additionally, avid fans of the
blockbuster franchise will be treated to a range of documentaries
offering incredible insight into the history of Marvel. These
include: Marvel 75 Years From Pulp to Pop; From Asgard To Earth
(Thor); Marvel's Captain America: 75 Heroic Years; Ultimate Iron Man:
The Making of Iron Man 2 Rebuilding the Suit; Marvel Studios:
Assembling a Universe just to mention a few!
