Kids of all ages should be pleased with the news, reported from USA Today, we’ll see a bevy of superheroes and villains from the House of Ideas make a special crossover appearance on Phineas and Ferb. The Disney Channel special, Phineas and Ferb: Mission Marvel, will be set to air later this summer.
From USA Today:
The Avengers have had some great team-ups up over the years, but not quite the same as they’ll have with a dynamic animated duo and their platypus.
Stepbrothers Phineas Flynn and Ferb Fletcher find themselves in the world of Spider-Man, Thor, Hulk and Iron Man in the upcoming special Phineas and Ferb: Mission Marvel, premiering this summer on the Disney Channel. The adventure marks the first TV cartoon crossover for Marvel and Disney properties.
Working with the folks at Marvel, Phineas and Ferb creators Dan Povenmire and Jeff “Swampy” Marsh are doing their own takes on comic-book evil-doers Red Skull, Whiplash, Venom and M.O.D.O.K. when they start raising a ruckus in the boys’ town of Danville after Dr. Doofenshmirtz accidentally takes away the heroes’ powers. Enter Phineas and Ferb, who get involved to save the town and make some new super friends along the way.
Oh, and no epic Phineas and Ferb event would be the same without fedora-clad Perry the Platypus, and his alter ego Agent P, thrown into the thick of things.
Phineas and Ferb have a lot to do on their own, though, before tackling supervillains and watching Thor drop the mighty hammer Mjolnir on foes.
