Last year, the Quibi streaming service died so quickly that it never had the chance to debut Slugfest, the Marvel vs. DC documentary executive produced by Anthony and Joe Russo. However, the doc has a new home and a premiere date. The Roku Channel will premiere the first episode on Friday, December 24. Additionally, The Roku Channel debuted a new trailer for the series.
The series is based on Reed Tucker’s book, Slugfest: Inside the Epic, 50-Year Battle Between Marvel and DC. The series starts at the beginning with the creation of Superman and the emergence of superheroes. And as the trailer also illustrates, DC and Marvel needed each other. As it says in the video, “without Marvel, DC probably wouldn’t exist. And without DC, Marvel certainly wouldn’t exist.”

Via The Roku Channel, the Russo Brothers also shared the following statement:
“Audiences will leave Slugfest with a whole new of understanding of how the rivalry between two creative powerhouses shaped the iconic storylines and characters that fans around the world have come to know and love. We’re thrilled to partner with The Roku Channel to unpack the fascinating, but untold, history behind the most well-known competition in comics.”
The series will run for ten episodes, with Kevin Smith as the narrator for the show.
