BURBANK, CA, November 19, 2013 – Get ready for the world premiere of “Marvel’s Iron Man & Hulk: Heroes United!” This all-new animated movie debuts at Wizard World Austin Comic Con on Saturday, November 23, at 12:30 p.m. in Room 14 at the Austin Convention Center. Fred Tatasciore, the voice of Hulk, will make a SMASH-ing appearance to unveil the Marvel Television’s CG-animated feature to Wizard World attendees!

“Marvel’s Iron Man & Hulk: Heroes United,” is the first full-length direct-to-video CG animation feature that showcases the team-up between two of Marvel’s greatest Heroes – Iron Man and Hulk! When two HYDRA scientists try to supercharge a Stark Arc Reactor with Hulk’s Gamma Energy, they unleash a being of pure electricity called the Zzzax – and he’s hungry for destruction. Together, Iron Man and Hulk are the only force that stands in the way of the Zzzax’s planetary blackout. But first, the Super Hero duo will have to get through snarling Wendigos, deadly robots and the scaly powerhouse, Abomination. Can two of Marvel’s mightiest Heroes find a way to work together without smashing each other before time runs out?

Fred Tatasciore has voiced the Hulk more than any other voice actor for Marvel Television. In addition to this animated movie, he’s brought the Hulk to life in “Marvel’s Hulk and the Agents of S.M.A.S.H.,” “Hulk Vs.,” “Marvel’s Avengers Assemble,” “The Avengers: Earth’s Mightiest Heroes,” “Ultimate Avengers” and “Ultimate Avengers II.” His additional contributions to other Marvel animated series include Beast/Dr. Hank McCoy in the animated series “Wolverine and the X-Men” and “X-Men,” and Shingen Yashida in “Wolverine.”

Following its world premiere at Wizard World Austin Comic Con, “Marvel’s Iron Man & Hulk: Heroes United” debuts on Blu-ray, DVD and Digital HD December 3. For information about the film, visit http://marvel.com/movies/movie/184/ marvels_iron_man_hulk_heroes_united.
