Marvel and Madhouse Team Up For Japanese Fans

Marvel and Madhouse are joining forces to bring some of Marvel’s best known superheroes to anime in a push to make the comic giant’s cast of characters better known in Japan and a major competitor in the tight Japanese anime market.

The first set of superheroes to hit as a series will be Iron Man and Wolverine. They will be introduced primarily to cell phone users and as a jumping point for merchandize and other collectibles. Four series for each is planned for sometime in 2010.
