Disney is continuing to make the most of the franchises it owns with a new crossover on the way. Disney Plus just revealed that The Simpsons will be taking Marvel by storm in a new short.
This is actually not the first time that fans have seen The Simpsons crossover into the vast Disney universe. Disney Plus had already done another short prior in which The Simpsons leave their comfort bubble of Springfield behind and find themselves shot into space. That last short consisted of The Simpsons entering the galaxy of Star Wars itself and was titled Maggie Simpson in the Force Awakens From its Nap. The debut of this first short coincided with Star Wars Day as a means for fans to celebrate the beloved franchise and also gain some new content to look forward to.
This was just the first in what appears to be a series of The Simpsons shorts and the second installment is titled “The Good, The Bart, and The Loki,” which is set to premiere alongside the fifth episode of Loki. The God of Mischief himself will appear in The Simpsons short and he will still be voiced by the one and only Tom Hiddleston. His character finds himself face to face with a whole new lot of enemies. The Simpson family, along with several fan-favorite characters hailing from Springfield, are making their way onto the screen as well. Loki finds himself yet again banished from Asgard, which leads to him joining forces with Bart Simpson.
Once again, Marvel has a strong intention behind this brilliant crossover. The short is created and informed by the Avengers: Endgame in the form of a parody. Each Simpsons character is transformed and morphed into a variety of MCU characters. As shown on the official poster for The Simpson s short, Lisa will become Thor, Moe will take the role of The Vision, Ned Flanders will portray Ant-Man, Ralph will transform into The Hulk, and Milhouse will take up arms as Hawkeye.
This crossover was birthed as a way for fans to pay tribute and homage to the MCU. With Loki's popularity and growing success, this definitely seems like the right series to get Marvel’s message across. New episodes of Loki are still being dropped on a weekly basis on Disney Plus and it will be fun to see what The Simpsons get up to when they enter the God of Mischief's world.
The Simpsons: The Good, The Bart, and The Loki will debut on Disney Plus on July 7th, 2021.
