MARVEL ANIME TEASER

Marvel Entertainment Inc. has partnered with renowned Japanese animation studio Madhouse (Paprika, Ninja Scroll, Vampire Hunter D, Tokyo Godfathers) and multiple-Eagle Award winner Warren Ellis to create four all new anime versions of classic Marvel Super Heroes. Get an exciting first glimpse of Iron Man and Wolverine on the trailer above. Iron Man still got his regular look while their rendition of Wolverine doesn't really look like Wolverine at all with his slim, androgynous look and long mullety hair.

These Marvel Anime TV series are being created as a way of merging the Marvel superheroes of western culture with the bold animation tradition of Japan. The series is expected to begin appearing on the Animax channel in Japan in spring of 2010.
