JackFetch Posted November 15, 2008 Report Share Posted November 15, 2008 Marvel Animation is developing and self-producing a 26 half-hour episode series based on its long-running comic book "Thor," with the series targeted to launch in fall 2010, following Marvel's live-action feature Thor, which hits theaters on July 16, 2010. The animated series will follow Thor, the Norse god of thunder, as he defends his mythical home of Asgard against fantastical villains, fiendish hordes, winged creatures and angry giants. The show will take place in various worlds -- from mountainous landscapes to places of icy mists and fiery voids -- and will include many of the comic's supporting cast, including Balder the Brave, the Warriors Three and Thor's evil adopted brother, Loki. Marvel president of animation Eric Rollman said the series is part of the company's plan to follow each live-action movie with an animated series and "offer a continued awareness in the marketplace." http://www.superherohype.com/news/topnews.php?id=7816 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Koete Posted November 15, 2008 Report Share Posted November 15, 2008 Let me guess...Don Blake's going to be a teenager in high school, Mjolnir is going to be an iPod instead of a walking stick, and Valkyrie is going to be head cheerleader.

If it was live action on CW I'd believe that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
