“Hulk and the Agents of S.M.A.S.H.” presents different spin on Marvel hero
Everyone knows Hulk likes to smash. But now you’re going to hear him talk about it. In Marvel’s Hulk and the Agents of S.M.A.S.H., the mean green Avenger (Fred Tatasciore) shows his family side, teaming up with a unique group of crime-fighters who all share a fondness for large-scale mayhem. There’s his cousin She-Hulk (Eliza Dushku), his son Skaar (Ben Diskin), along with Red Hulk (Clancy Brown) and A-Bomb (Seth Green). They join together to battle enemies too huge for your everyday puny superheroes to handle. Oh, and all those muscles and egos will be living under one roof, also handling […]

Sneak preview: “Avengers Assemble” on Disney XD this weekend
Avengers Assemble sneak peek Sunday, May 26 Disney XD, 11am ET/PT Can we all agree now that it’s Marvel’s world and we’re just living in it? In addition to basically owning the multiplexes for the past few years — and for the foreseeable future as Phase 2 of its cinematic universe rolls out — Marvel is now invading TV in a big way. There’s the live-action Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. coming to ABC this fall, and this weekend viewers can get an hour-long sneak peek (that’s two episodes) of Avengers Assemble, an animated take of Earth’s mightiest heroes.

“Code: 9” amps up the pranks in second season on Disney XD
How can I get on Code: 9? That seems to be the million-dollar question with kids and adults alike regarding the wildly-popular prank show, which returns for a second season Monday at 7:30pm ET/PT on Disney XD. There are a lot of hidden-camera programs on television — the barometer will always be Ashton Kutcher’s Punk’d on MTV — but what makes Code: 9 stand apart is its focus on regular people instead of celebrities. And unlike the classic Candid Camera, the folks here are having the wool pulled over their eyes by their own family members. Yes, you read that correctly. […]

In Disney XD’s “Ultimate Spider-Man” Adrian Pasdar IS Iron Man
Who wouldn’t want a second shot at playing Iron Man? Adrian Pasdar first got the chance in 2010’s Iron Man series for G4, but the property had been adapted from a Japanese series, so it was a challenge to make his lines fit the action. This time, Pasdar feels a bit more comfortable with the role of Tony Stark and his hero alter-ego, and will be making his first appearance in a series of episodes of Disney XD’s Ultimate Spider-Man starting this Sunday, April 22 at 11am ET/PT, as part of the network’s Marvel Universe block. In the episode, young […]

Disney XD introduces Steven Weber and “Ultimate Spider-Man”
Is your spider-sense tingling? If it is, it might be because of the arrival of Disney XD’s new Marvel Universe block. The lineup of the all-Marvel weekly event will feature new animated short-form series, the series return of The Avengers: Earth’s Mightiest Heroes and more, but at its center is the premiere of Ultimate Spider-Man. The animated series represents something of a new take on the web-slinger’s legend, as Steven Weber, who voices Norman Osborn in the series, relates. “Ultimate Spider-Man is the latest kind of incarnation of the Spider-Man ‘canon,’” Weber says. “There have been so many different versions […]
