To prep for the Marvel-ous gig, Wittman over the pandemic binged MCU movies (and was “quite amazed at all the kind of sly fun that existed in them”), while Shaiman picked the brain of his “total Marvel nerd” husband, Lou. Shaiman and Wittman’s songwriting credits include Hairspray (for which they won a Tony and a Grammy), the Broadway-adjacent TV show Smash (dare we hope for a “Let Me Be Your Star-Lord” tune?) and the movie Mary Poppins Return.
