2011 is going to be an awesome year for Marvel fans. Not only will 2 Avengers themed feature films be debuting that summer (“The First Avenger: Captain America” and “The Avengers”) but Marvel has now announced an animated series for “Earth’s Mightiest Heroes”.

The line-up for this team includes “Iron Man”, “The Hulk”, “Captain America”, “Wasp”, “Ant-man”, and “Thor”. Recent comic book additions to the roster, “Wolverine” and “Spider-Man” are noticeably absent. This team, rather, reflects the original line-up of “The Avengers” and may also represent the line-up we’ll see in the 2011 feature film.

No network has officially been named for the series yet, but it should be on the air in time for the big summer releases. It will not be connected to the soon to launch “Iron Man” animated series schedules for Nicktoons in 2009.
