The titular characters from Captain Marvel and Kim Possible have teamed up in a new TV spot on the Disney Channel. Though the two characters are from two completely different fictional universes, the heroes have joined forces to promote their new movies.

Once Disney acquired Marvel, all of the heroes in the Marvel Cinematic Universe became part of the House of Mouse. This has come in handy when it comes to cross-platform (and cross-franchise) promotions, especially when it comes to promoting two iconic female heroes. With Captain Marvel, the titular hero (played by Brie Larson) embarks on a cosmic mission to protect Earth, while Kim Possible, the new made-for-TV movie that debuted on the Disney Channel starring Sadie Stanley, follows the titular hero as a live-action character for the very first time. And, though it’s unlikely that the two franchises will ever cross paths, that didn’t stop Larson and Stanley from bringing their characters together.

In a new Disney Channel TV spot, Larson and Stanley stand side-by-side as they chat about the pressures of saving the world. As footage from both Captain Marvel and Kim Possible appear, the two list off skills necessary to being a hero, like having sidekicks or flying - either with jetpacks (Kim Possible) or by going binary (Captain Marvel). Stanley even suggests that the two characters team up, opening the door for Larson to borrow the “call me, beep me” line from Kim Possible’s theme song. Check out the TV spot below:

While it’s possible the new Kim Possible movie may attract some of the animated show’s older fans on nostalgia alone, Captain Marvel is the film that clearly has everyone’s attention. And, even though the film’s official reviews aren’t yet public, some early reactions from the film’s first screenings have been mostly positive. Specifics aside, the standout elements from  the film appear to be the ’90s setting, Ben Mendelsohn as the villain, and Carol Danvers’ pet cat Goose.

When it comes to heroes, Disney and Marvel are hardly in short supply. However, when it comes to female characters, it’s a different story, so having 2019 kick off with not one, but two female heroes is certainly a step in the right direction. And, even though a Captain Marvel/Kim Possible crossover isn’t likely to ever happen, Carol will have plenty of other badass characters to fight side-by-side with once she enters the battle against Thanos in Avengers: Endgame.
