After several months of development and discussions, we are pleased to officially announce the Marvel Brickfilm Universe! Similar to Disney’s cinematic universe, and BiM’s short-lived brickfilm universe the BFCU, the MBU is a shared continuity of LEGO Marvel media, primarily brickfilms but also text-and-image stories.

The epicenter for all things MBU is our official blog, where you can find a timeline of all media released thus far, updates on upcoming projects, character and group bios, a list of contributors, and in the near future much more. So far the MBU is a small operation - just Galactic Bricks, Atlas Animationz and I - but we will soon be looking to expand.

Ready to view

Upcoming

  • The Avengers: Defenders of Earth (brickfilm, coming 2015)

  • More than one 'secret project'

While we currently have a pretty solid idea of most of the MBU canon so far, we’re always looking for contributors. Even if your brickfilm idea doesn’t fit into the established canon, writers and animators for already-developing projects are also welcome, but we encourage your creative input! If you’re interested in contributing in any way, send me a message or reply to this thread and we’ll start discussing how we can work together. I am putting together a package of ‘essential material’, which I can send to you should you be interested. As a slight disclaimer, please don’t be offended if your ideas don’t fit with the canon: we’ve tried to set a basic timeline to make sure we’re all working from the same page, and we all need to adhere to it as much as possible (though for some things, like finer details of character backstories and such, allowances can likely be made).

Even if you don’t wish to contribute, we’d love to hear what you want to see from the MBU! Is your favourite hero or villain not getting enough love? Bored of the Avengers and want to delve into space with the Guardians of the Galaxy? Fancy raising your fists to hail Hydra? We want to know!

All that’s left for me to say is that on behalf of myself and the MBU’s other contributors, we hope you enjoy this little tribute to Marvel we’re putting together. It’s nothing grand or game-changing, and I know a lot of you aren’t keen on licensed brickfilms, but nonetheless this is a bit of fun and we hope you’ll like viewing MBU content as much as we’ve liked producing it!

Re: Marvel Brickfilm Universe - now live!

We should create our own characters to be along side Marvel characters in our version of events mini/smile

Might I recommend some civilians with powers who only use them for their self, and not for good or evil?

Also, I'd be interested in doing some Captain America stories.

I haven't spoken to the others about it yet but I did have a vague idea that there coud be some original SHIELD and Hydra characters, but also mutants and potentially Inhumans. There's a plotline in the comics that I thought was cool where Black Bolt (an Inhuman) sets of a Terrigen bomb and anyone in the world with the Inhuman gene immediately evolved into whatever they were destined to be. That could be fun to do somewhere down the line.

But since this is our own project, and only draws from the movies rather than running parallel, creating our own characters is something that could definitely be a lot of fun.

Re: Marvel Brickfilm Universe - now live!

Jampot, how do you become a contributer, or a collaborater for this? I'd be keen to join in the fun, and collobarate with you guys!

If so can you explain how it works in regards to our job, and how we keep in contact in regards to collaboration?

Sincerely,
Divine.

Re: Marvel Brickfilm Universe - now live!

This is actually quite a neat idea, although I'm not much of a fan of Marvel. Somebody should create a DC Brickfilm Universe to compete with you guys. mini/tongue

I actually have a DC Lego universe of my own, but there are no brickfilms as yet, just a blog serial (though I want to do some DC brickfilms at some point, just not right now).

I'm totally open to the idea of a DC Brickfilm Universe. That'd be extremely cool, especially if that and the MBU did the odd crossover (Darkseid gets an Infinity Gauntlet at one point, just sayin').

Re: Marvel Brickfilm Universe - now live!

Three months on, and work on the MBU is still blazing ahead. Avengers Tower: Invasion and Avengers: Defenders of Earth are going swimmingly, with Invasion to be released early in March, or possibly sooner. We've also had the first episode of SHIELD Declassified, giving some background on the superhero Mockingbird and her SHIELD record, and another episode is in production. Hopefully that will be available to view within the next week or two, though finding the voice actors may slow it down a bit.

As ever, we're still on the lookout for anyone who might be interested in taking part in the MBU. Some people have expressed interest already, but if you have any ideas or would like to do a brickfilm, no matter how big or small, I'd love to hear about it!

While we're keen to take off in every direction possible (Avengers, SHIELD, Inhumans, Guardians of the Galaxy, Defenders, Heroes for Hire and of course any individual hero or villain) Galactic Bricks and I were hoping people might be interested in tackling the X-Men or Thor (since we've come up with very little material so far that pertains to them), though anything else is still welcome. Equally, if anyone wants to create an episode of SHIELD Declassified, message me and I'll tell you the criteria (of which there's next to none, so free reign!).

KB also suggested creating original characters, and that too is encouraged! They could be a SHIELD, Hydra or AIM agent, an Inhuman, a mutant, a member of the Serpent Society, the Hand, or the Magneto Acolytes...there's tonnes of room to create new material!

So if you're interested in taking part, please send either me or Galactic Bricks a PM.

Re: Marvel Brickfilm Universe - now live!

Another quick update, the newest episode of SHIELD Declassified is now live! It's more of a fan tribute to Agents of SHIELD, and it's a bit ugly considering I animated most of it between some lectures, but we hope you enjoy it nonetheless.
