It appears like everybody’s favourite chompy boy, Jeff the Land Shark, is getting his personal challenge at Marvel Studios! The more and more common Marvel character created by Kelly Thompson and Daniele di Nicuolo may very well be the main target of a brand new movie or tv sequence, no less than if Brad Winderbaum, Marvel Studios’ Head of Streaming, TV, and Animation, has something to say about it.
Talking with Brandon Davis about What If… Season 3, Winderbaum hinted {that a} Jeff the Land Shark challenge is greater than prone to occur. The lovable, dog-like shark just lately made a splash within the studio’s hero shooter online game Marvel Rivals, alerting the lots to his overwhelming attraction. In Marvel Rivals, gamers controlling Jeff can rapidly swim across the stage (Jaws-style) to succeed in teammates in want of therapeutic. Jeff makes use of a robust stream of water, floating bubbles, and chip-damage assaults to avoid wasting compatriots or get rid of foes. In case you wait lengthy sufficient or carry out nicely within the recreation, Jeff can unleash an final assault that sees him making a whirlpool that sucks gamers into its vortex for a devastating assault. Jeff the Land Shark is one among my favourite characters in Marvel Rivals, alongside Squirrel Lady, Punisher, Hela, and Luna Snow.
Jeff the Land Shark debuted in Kelly Thompson’s West Coast Avengers #7 as Gwen Poole’s adopted pet. When he’s not hanging out with Gwenpool, he’s mixing it up with Kate Bishop or starring in his personal assortment of one-shot comics beneath the identify It’s Jeff…
Whereas Jeff frustrates some Marvel Rivals gamers, others embrace his lovable antics and Saturday Morning Cartoon vibes. Winderbaum doesn’t say what sort of challenge Marvel Studios has in thoughts for the character, although a sequence of shorts on Disney+ appears like the precise strategy. I’m picturing one thing akin to Marvel’s I’m Groot sequence, however approach higher. It should in all probability be some time earlier than we hear something extra a couple of challenge that includes Jeff the Land Shark. Nonetheless, it’s good to know Marvel Studios is conscious of his growing reputation and hopes to capitalize on it with a brand new movie or tv challenge.
