During an hour long panel at the C2E2 Expo, Jeph Leob gave a little in site on where Marvel animation is heading in the future.
The Ultimate Spider-man:
Leob was only able to show and animation test that featured Spidey web slinging, taking out a bad guy, and taking orders from S.H.I.E.L.D. director Nick Fury. During the video you could hear J.J. Jameson (as reported earlier, J.K. Simmons)yelling that Spider-Man was a "menace". Leob also mentioned that not only is Paul Dini producing but he is writing the pilot episode. He also shared the Brian Michael Bendis, who created Ultimate Spider-Man, had written two episodes him self.
The Ultimate Spider-Man is due to start running in 2012.
The Avengers: Earth’s Mightiest Heroes:
During the panel Leon showed an episode of what he thought would be the season two opener(he wasn't sure).
Here is Screen Rants review of the episode:
The episode starts off with The Avengers facing off against the Serpent Society. Hank Pym (Ant Man/Giant Man) tries to intercede in the fight, but it quickly becomes clear that neither the bad guys or good guys are willing to stand down. Pym’s pacifist ways are put to the test in the first of several awesome fight scenes. A couple of moments elicited serious “oohs” and “aahs” from the fans.
Later, back at Avengers HQ, Pym continues work on his robot Ultron, which he hopes will bring peace to the world. Of course, fans of Marvel Comics know that Ultron is anything but peaceful. Once Ultron’s dark side is revealed, the rest of the episode revolves around Captain America, Black Panther, Hawkeye and the rest of the Avengers fighting the evil robot. During the battle, something major happens to Thor, but I won’t spoil it here.
The final fight with Ultron, which features an awesome appearance by The Hulk, is full of great action. It’s not overly violent, but it’s terrifically animated and very entertaining. Let me put it this way: If I was 11, this would definitely be my favorite show.
According to Leob
The Avengers: Earth’s Mightiest Heroes will return in May after the
Thor movie is released.
