About Marvel Future Avengers
Makoto, Adi and Chloe were raised and genetically modified by Hydra and taught that the Avengers were villains. After Adi and Chloe defect and Makoto escapes to join them, the Avengers take the three in and train them as the Future Avengers. Their first big case is the Emerald Rain Project, a scheme by Hydra and the Masters of Evil that is tied to Makoto, while his best friend Bruno is drawn to the other side.
Madhouse produced the series with Walt Disney Japan, with Yūzō Satō directing and Ryū King as lead writer. It aired in Japan on Dlife and Tokyo MX, with a 26-episode first season from 2017 to 2018 and a 13-episode second season in 2018. The English dub casts Max Mittelman as Makoto, Mick Wingert as Tony Stark, Roger Craig Smith as Steve Rogers and Fred Tatasciore as Bruce Banner. Both seasons reached Disney+ in 2020.

How to watch it
This is a standalone anime with its own continuity, so you can start it anytime. It follows Marvel Disk Wars: The Avengers in Disney Japan's line of Marvel anime, though it doesn't continue that story. Watch both seasons in order, since season 2 builds on the team formed in season 1. It is aimed at younger viewers but works for anyone who enjoys team-up stories and the classic Avengers roster.
