Earth's Mightiest Heroes will reunite on May 26th for a one-hour preview of Avengers Assemble, before debuting in a regular slot on Sunday, July 7th. The show has been designed to capitalise on the blockbuster success of last year's feature film, and features a voice cast that includes Marvel regulars Adrian Pasdar (Marvel Anime: Iron Man) and Fred Tatasciore (The Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes) - both of whom are also set to feature in this year's straight-to-video CG animated feature Iron Man & Hulk: Heroes United.
"Marvel's Avengers Assemble reunites the most popular super hero team -- Iron Man, Hulk, Captain America, Thor, Hawkeye and Black Widow, along with newcomer Falcon, marking the first time in animation history this distinct team of heroes will join forces. Led by Iron Man, the heroes train and live together in their new headquarters in Avengers Tower. The planet's most dangerous villains don't stand a chance when the Avengers assemble - whether they are stopping Dr. Doom from conquering Asgard, Attuma driving the Atlantean Army into New York City or Dracula unleashing vampire hordes, the Avengers must work together to succeed."

The Green Goliath returns to screens on Sunday, August 11th with the premiere of Hulk and the Agents of S.M.A.S.H., which is said to be aimed towards younger audiences and also features Pasdar and Tatasciore alongside the likes of Seth Green (Robot Chicken) as A-Bomb, Eliza Dushku (Batman: Year One) as She-Hulk, Clancy Brown (Wolverine and the X-MEn) as Thunderbolt Ross / Red Hulk and Benjamin Diskin (The Spectacular Spider-Man) as Skaar.
"In Marvel's Hulk and the Agents of S.M.A.S.H., Hulk has long fought alone to protect a world that sees him as a monster, but his friend Rick Jones has taken it upon himself to film the world-saving exploits of Big Green and his team to change that image. In this never before seen team up of Hulk, his cousin She-Hulk, A-Bomb, Red Hulk and Skaar, Marvel's mightiest super heroes form an eccentric family living under one roof, working together to tackle threats that are too enormous for other heroes to handle. From trying to house break their giant red pet T-Rex to stopping Ego the Living Planet from crashing into the Earth, the Agents of S.M.A.S.H. must learn to balance Hulk-sized action with everyday family-sized problems."
