Marvel 1943: Rise Of Hydra Receives New Concept Art, Amy Hennig Promises ‘Fascinating Characters & Interesting Locations’

Former Naughty Dog writer Amy Hennig has provided new details on Skydance New Media’s upcoming Marvel 1943: Rise of Hydra during an exclusive scoop at Entertainment Weekly, including a look at some fresh concept art for the title.

Henna described that the World War II setting allows the development team to tap into the classic adventure films of that era, promising ‘fascinating characters and interesting locations.’

It led us to do a bunch of interesting things, one of which was to not only tell a story with a young Steve Rogers who’s still trying to find his feet, as opposed to the more seasoned guy that we’ve seen in a lot of the films. It also let us introduce a new Black Panther of 1943.

It led us to tap into all the things that I love, all of the wonderful tropes of World War II-era adventure films, classic men-on-a-mission movies and all of that. There’s a lot of intrigue in our story, a lot of twists and turns, fascinating characters, and interesting locations.

Wakanda at this point in time is hidden away from the outside world and protected by this impenetrable jungle. They are non-interventionist, but events transpire that pull them into the conflict. They have to protect their interests. The world is getting smaller. No satellites yet, but there will be soon. You can shoot down planes that maybe want to fly over Wakanda, but how long can you stay in the shadows?

Marvel 1943: Rise of Hyrda was fully revealed back in March and is scheduled for release in 2025 on PS5, PC, and Xbox Series X/S.
