Marvel Announces Avengers Cartoon

by brian on October 8th, 2008

Today at Marvel.com,the company announced the production of a new animated series, “The Avengers: Earth’s Mightiest Heroes.” Film Roman, the company that produces The Simpsons and King of the Hill, is already at work on a 26-episode first season. The new series is expected to hit the air in 2011. It won’t be alone as 2009 brings a plethora of Marvel animated action including Nicktoons Wolverine and the X-Men and Iron Man: Armored Adventures, as well as Marvel Super Hero Squad and The Black Panther.

Marvel’s plan here is obvious as it’s moving to get an Avengers live action movie into theaters in 2011 too. The cartoon will feature a very fan friendly Avengers lineup including Iron Man, Hulk and Captain America. Don’t worry longtime Avengers fans, team stalwarts Thor, Giant Man and Wasp are on hand too. Fox tried an Avengers cartoon in 1999 but it didn’t feature the “Big Three” of Cap, Iron Man and Thor and was thus very short-lived.
