- Marvel's "Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur" animated series is currently airing on Disney Channel.
- The cast and producers told Insider they'd love to see the protagonist, Lunella, in live-action one day.
"Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur" brings 13-year-old super-genius Lunella Lafayette to life in animation, but the cast and producers tell Insider they'd love to see the character transition into live-action at some point.
"Yes!" Diamond White who voices the series' protagonist, Lunella, enthusiastically told Insider on the show's red carpet on February 4 alongside her costar Fred Tatasciore who voices Lunella's 10-foot-tall dinosaur, Devil.
"Imagine me with poof balls," White added, referencing Lunella's signature hairstyle. "Come on!"
On the series, Lunella decides to start to fight crime to defend Manhattan's Lower East Side alongside Devil. (The show's running gag is that the Avengers defend New York City below 14th street.)
If her character could team up with anyone in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), White said she'd love to see Lunella interact with fellow New Yorker, Spider-Man.
"I think Spider-Man would be perfect because, you know, they're both scientists and they would have to figure each other out," Tatasciore said. "Peter and her would get along."
It feels like a natural fit.
Those who have visited Avengers Campus at California's Disneyland Resort or Disneyland Paris know that Lunella and Spider-Man already know each other.
A live-action version of Lunella is seen in the queue for the Spidey-themed Web Slingers attraction, a connection White acknowledged when Insider mentioned it.
But it could be a little while before we see Lunella interact with other MCU characters outside of Disney's theme-park space.
"We have plenty of stories to tell of Lunella in animation," series' executive producer Steve Loter told Insider on the red carpet when asked if there's a chance to see Lunella in live-action at some point. "If it turns into a live-action property somewhere down the line, we'd be excited."
Supervising producer, Rodney Clouden, added, "I think we opened up the door for a possibility."
When we asked the duo if "Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur" is considered part of the Marvel Cinematic, they told us they like to say "it's complementary of the MCU."
Loter said "Moon Girl" was always pitched as an animated series through executive producer Laurence Fishburne, who also voices a mystical being named the Beyonder on the series, adding that animation felt like the right medium to translate a 10-foot-tall dinosaur to screen.
Still, "Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur" producer Pilar Flynn would love to see the character portrayed in live-action at some point to get her story in front of a broader audience.
When we asked her if the team has discussed the idea with Marvel Studios' head Kevin Feige or anyone else at Marvel, Flynn said, "It's something we had brought up as something we'd love to have as a possibility in the future, but not something that's set yet."
"Hopefully, once the show is out we'll get more opportunities to do spinoffs or, yeah, even have her come to life in live-action one day," Flynn added.
Also starring the voice talents of Alfre Woodard, Libe Barer, Sasheer Zamata, and Ian Alexander, "Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur" is currently airing on Disney Channel. The first six episodes of the 17-episode season are streaming Wednesday on Disney+.
