About Rise of the Superheroes
This is the story of how superheroes from Tim Burton's prototype blockbuster Batman, Blade, X-Men, Spiderman to Iron Man and the Black Panther brought to life from the pages of comic books, first took over Hollywood and then conquered the world through action films with larger-than-life characters.
Directed by Tom O'Dell, Rise of the Superheroes leans on a strong ensemble — Jenna Busch, Emma Loggins, Chris Claremont — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about documentary titles of 2019.
