Marvel Move is a fitness app that invites users to embark on athletic runs alongside characters from Marvel comics. The news comes from the tech portal Hi-Tech Mail.Ru, which reports on this new release in the sports and entertainment space.

The concept behind the app is to record superhero voices that guide workouts and share stories tied to each session. According to the creators, the voice work features actors who portray these heroes in Marvel films. In practical terms, Thor is voiced by Chris Hemsworth, and Hulk is voiced by Mark Ruffalo, lending the experience a familiar, film-inspired tone for fans.

Marvel Move is the product of Six to Start, the studio behind the earlier fitness game Zombies, Run. The new app expands on that idea by letting players select from various difficulty levels and narrative arcs, so workouts can feel as challenging or as lighthearted as the user desires. The storytelling element has the potential to turn ordinary runs into immersive adventures where progress is tied to the unfolding plot and the hero on screen accompanies the user through every kilometer.

Early information indicates Marvel Move is set to launch in the summer of 2023 as a free-to-use platform with a premium tier for full access to all features. The anticipated price for a year of premium access is about 75 dollars, with approximately 6,000 rubles implied in the original report. Availability is pegged to both Android and iOS devices, ensuring a broad reach, though there is no clear update about language support, including whether Russian will be offered at launch or later. The pricing structure suggests a single annual subscription model rather than a per-month plan, aligning with many fitness apps that balance free entry with paid enhancements for more content and capabilities.

Previous coverage notes Android’s ability to run apps originally designed for iPhone platforms, indicating a cross‑platform development approach that could help Marvel Move reach a wider audience across devices. As the rollout proceeds, users in Canada and the United States will likely be the primary markets where the app gains traction, driven by a demographic of Marvel fans who also enjoy interactive fitness experiences. The fusion of workout routines with narrative escapades may appeal to runners seeking motivation beyond traditional pacing and distance metrics, offering a playful, story-driven alternative to solo workouts.
