Disney XD has given the go-ahead for a third season on the animated Ultimate Spider-Man.
The news broke during Saturday afternoon’s Comic Con panel in San Diego.
Season three will see Spidey joining forces with Iron Man, Captain America, Thor and Hulk to become a member of the Avengers, according to the Hollywood Reporter. The series will see Spidey still working as a part of S.H.I.E.L.D. and teaming up with his four contemporaries to battle a host of Marvel villains.
“Marvel’s Ultimate Spider-Man has struck a chord with our audience, boys and girls alike, who are transported weekly to another world where they dare to be heroes. We are excited to deliver another season of Spidey’s thrilling feats and more of the Marvel Universe to fans everywhere,” says producer David Levine.
Producer Jeph Loeb teased that fans will see “Cloak & Dagger, Amadeus Cho, Ka-Zar and the animated debut of Agent Venom” next season.
Executive producers on the Marvel Television production include Alan Fine, Dan Buckley, Joe Quesada and Loeb, with Stan Lee, Eric Radomski and Cort Lane as co-executive producers. Drake Bell, Chi McBride, Clark Gregg, J.K. Simmons, Steven Weber, Greg Cipes, Ogie Banks, Caitlyn Taylor, Logan Miller, Tom Kenny, Matt Lanter, Tara Strong and Lee are among the voice stars.
This only interests me because Deadpool made an apperence a few episodes ago, and may do so again.
