What to know<\/p>\n
OVO is releasing a new Marvel collaboration this Friday, teased in a cinematic trailer set across Toronto.<\/p>\n
The collection features apparel and skateboards showcasing characters like Venom, Wolverine, Ghost Rider, and more.<\/p>\n
Notably, Marvel\u2019s Iceman doesn\u2019t appear in the lineup, despite fans linking the drop to Drake\u2019s upcoming Iceman album.<\/p>\n
The rapper has yet to announce a release date for the album, though anticipation is already high thanks to recent livestreams and singles.<\/p>\n
Drake\u2019s OVO clothing line is releasing a new Marvel collaboration, and fans are wondering if it\u2019s a hint at the Toronto rapper\u2019s highly-anticipated album Iceman.\u00a0<\/p>\n
October\u2019s Very Own (OVO) dropped a trailer teasing the collection on Wednesday morning, featuring tons of Toronto landmarks and starring internet personality and skateboarder Miles Silva.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The sound of a police radio could be heard in the background of the action-packed video, where all units are being notified of a\u00a0 masked skateboarding thief last seen around Bathurst and Queen streets. Donned the \u201cThe Mighty Miles Silva,\u201d he evades police, skating past city staples like Toronto Metropolitan University, Union Station, and even a TTC streetcar.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The trailer ends with the drop date, which is set for this Friday, Dec. 12.\u00a0<\/p>\n
On Instagram, OVO posted a first look at some of the items that will be included in the line, such as shirts, hoodies, skateboards, and more \u2013 all themed around Marvel comic characters. Some of Marvel\u2019s most familiar heroes and villains appear on the pieces, including Venom, Doctor Doom, Ghost Rider, Wolverine, and X-Men favourites like Storm, Beast, and Gambit. However, it doesn\u2019t look like Iceman, a founding member of the X-Men, will appear in the collection.<\/p>\n
Still, fans have high hopes. Some say the collaboration would make sense if timed with Drake\u2019s album release. Beyond sharing a name, Iceman\u2019s real name is also Robert \u201cBobby\u201d Louis Drake.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cNot utilizing the Iceman character on any of the clothing was a huge missed opportunity, unless he\u2019s saving it for the album,\u201d one person wrote on Reddit.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cGotta have Iceman merch before the album. He\u2019s gotta be saving it\u2026 right?,\u201d another fan wrote on the platform.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The rapper has also done a number of stints leading up to the collab, including driving an ice truck around Toronto to promote his songs.<\/p>\n
