Marvel has unveiled a teaser trailer for its upcoming Generations series of 10 one-shots, and the video promises the Marvel Universe is big enough for both classic and newer versions of the company’s iconic superheroes.

Marvel sparked a large discussion about what to expect of a comic book publisher whose most popular characters had transitioned from being white men to young women and people of color. Perhaps the most worrisome comment was the suggestion that Marvel might back off from new, diverse heroes because of low sales numbers.
The video begins with Editor-in-Chief Axel Alonso raising the question, “Is there enough room in the Marvel Universe for Steve Rogers and Sam Wilson? For Bruce Banner and Amadeus Cho? For Logan and Laura?” as images of the heroes flash across the screen. Right before the Generations logo flashes across the screen, Alonso answers his question: “There is room for all of them.”
It’s further confirmed that Generations springs out of a key moment in the current Secret Empire event series when our heroes enter the Vanishing Point, which Alonso describes as “a unique place that allows them to have a singular experience, to interact and have a meaningful encounter that will shape them moving forward.”
Marvel’s Generations will be available digitally and comic stores in August.
