Sony Computer Entertainment and Marvel Entertainment officially announced that they will be collaborating to create original "LittleBigPlanet" content based on the Marvel Universe.
The news was revealed yesterday at Comic-Con International in San Diego during Marvel's panel discussion highlighting the next generation of Marvel video games. To help illustrate what might be in store for fans, concept art of possible costumes were shown incorporating Iron Man, Wolverine and Captain America, however other characters will be considered.

With "Play, Create and Share", "LittleBigPlanet" has established the Creative Gaming genre and the game continues to grow and evolve, helped by partnerships with marquee brands such as Disney and now Marvel.
The customizable nature of the unique PlayStation title allows players to alter characters and build entirely new objects and levels; then share and play them online as part of the "LittleBigPlanet" community. In fact, the sharing nature of the game has become so embraced, it has attracted fans to publish more than one million levels to the PlayStation Network since the award-winning game launched last October. Put another way, one new level has been published roughly every 21 seconds since "LittleBigPlanet" hit shelves.
