Marvel Introduces Ask Marvel Video Series, Lets You Ask Drax Questions
By Nick Tylwalk
If you’ve ever wanted to have questions answered directly by top talent from Marvel movies, TV and comics, you generally either had to be a journalist from a major media outlet, attended a panel at a big comic convention or hoped to catch them in a Reddit AMA or something. While that’s probably still likely to be the case going forward more often than not, Marvel has come up with another way for fans to reach out and find out more straight from the source with the new “Ask Marvel” video series.
The first video, which you can see below, features Dave Bautista, better known as the wrestler Batista and now arguably even better known as Drax the Destroyer from Guardians of the Galaxy. Marvel says it’s a mix of both “thought-provoking and off-the-wall questions,” and once you watch it, you’ll likely find yourself agreeing with that assessment.
New episodes of “Ask Marvel” will pop up every Thursday on the Marvel YouTube page and Marvel.com, with upcoming guests slated to include Daredevil star Charlie Cox and Marvel Entertainment Chief Creative Officer Joe Quesada. Having a chance to get your question answered couldn’t be simpler, as all you have to do is tweet inquiries with the hashtag #AskMarvel.
“We’ve been answering fans’ questions in our letters pages, at convention panels, and on our This Week in Marvel podcast for years, so we felt it was time to collect the burning questions our fandom constantly poses, get them in front of a wide array of Marvel folks, and put it all on video,” Ryan Penagos, VP & Executive Editor for Marvel’s Digital Media Group, said in a press release.
Consider that mission accomplished. Good luck getting your question through, and be sure to make it count.
