A trailer has been released for the upcoming Disney+ Original series, called “El Origen De La Mascara”, aka “Marvel Lucha Libre Edition”, which sees Marvel tag teaming up with the Mexican Wrestling Promotion, Lucha Libre AAA Worldwide, to create a brand new mockumentary series.

It follows the step-by-step of the Mexican wrestling tournament with wrestlers inspired by Marvel characters. With Mexican comedian Franco Escamilla as the main narrator, the new production presents the story behind the Marvel Lucha Libre Edition championship., combining the best of wrestling culture with the stories, secrets and rivalries between heels and technicians inspired by heroes and villains and all the action of Marvel.

With a mockumentary narration, the cameras records the events of a tournament that pits Los Tecnicos and Los Rudos, two groups of fighters inspired by Super Heroes and Marvel’s most iconic villains. Throughout five episodes, it records each instance of the league from the personal perspective of the fighters, culminating in the great event that will award one of them with the coveted belt, crowning him as the new champion. And with the inspiration of Marvel as a base, the plot follows, in turn, the latent danger of The Symbiote, a clandestine high-performance substance that seems to be consumed by some of the fighters.

Franco Escamilla is providing the narration for the series, with humour and irony. Providing data and anecdotes about the characters and historical information about the culture of wrestling in Mexico. The production also features on-camera testimonials from true legends of the ring, as well as judges, fans, renowned fight announcers, organizers and experts in the discipline.

The trailer premiered at the Triplemanía XXX Chapter 3 event on October 15th 2022.
