Entertainment Weekly has the first round of images to be seen from an upcoming Marvel Animation Studios project, something we haven’t had since the end of the deal with LionsGate. Iron Man & Hulk: Heroes United is set to land on April 23rd, 2013 from the studio with a mix of computer generated material and hand drawn animation as it pairs two of the more popular characters from both the movie universe and the comic universe. The premise of the film will be about the pair of heroes fighting the living energy villain Zzzax.
The film is not designed to be a part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, i.e. it’s not a continuation from The Avengers, but Marvel’s Jeph Loeb won’t be unhappy if you do think that. “We welcome people to interpret any way they like,” says Loeb. “In tone and character, we want to follow our best leader.”
“It’s our hope that we will start doing more feature-length direct to Blu-ray and DVD stories,” Loeb added. “They’ll more than likely be in team-up situations. We find it works really well when we have big exciting adventures with two or more of our heroes.”
Adrian Pasdar voices Iron Man and Fred Tatasciore will provide the voice for Banner and the Hulk. Dee Bradley Baker be voicing Zzzax.
