The plan for Marvel, according to president of animation Eric Rollman, is to release an animated series behind the live-action movies that they release — this is now confirmed for the upcoming live-action film version of Thor.
The series will consist of 26 episodes that run 30 minutes each. These will be released in Fall of 2010.
Here’s the premise for this animated series…
The animated series will follow Thor, the Norse god of thunder, as he defends his mythical home of Asgard against fantastical villains, fiendish hordes, winged creatures and angry giants. The show will take place in various worlds — from mountainous landscapes to places of icy mists and fiery voids — and will include many of the comic’s supporting cast, including Balder the Brave, the Warriors Three and Thor’s evil adopted brother, Loki.
Fans of Thor will have to jump all over this one.
