Marvel HQ made some big announcements during yesterday’s (March 31) Marvel Rising panel at WonderCon. Attended by Sofia Wylie, Milana Vayntrub, Kathreen Khavari, and Kamil McFadden, the panel also featured a screening of their new special, Marvel Rising: Iron Heart.

During the panel, the cast and director announced that three new Marvel Rising specials would be released this year. The first is called, Marvel Rising: Battle of the Bands, which spotlights Dove Cameron as Ghost-Spider in a 22-minute animated special. On the day of Gwen’s “Battle of the Bands” competition, mysterious attacks force her and the Secret Warriors to investigate. Can they save the city and get Gwen to the concert on time?

The next special is Marvel Rising: Operation Shuri will introduce the fan-favorite character Shuri, voiced by Daisy Lightfoot to the Marvel Rising universe in a 22-minute animated special. The lives of the Secret Warriors are turned upside down when faced with their latest mission: hang out with Shuri, the Crown Princess of Wakanda, and show her what it’s like to be an ordinary teenager. But nothing’s ordinary when you’re dealing with one of the smartest and most famous people on the planet.

Marvel Rising: Playing With Fire will star Tyler Posey as Inferno. In this 44-minute special, Inferno’s powers are stolen by a young and powerful villain and it’s up to the Secret Warriors to defeat their new foe and help their friend. But does Inferno even WANT his powers back? Meanwhile, America Chavez, voiced by Cierra Ramirez , learns a lesson about friendship and family from teammate Ms. Marvel.
