Anime News Network revealed that Marvel Entertainment is working on a new animated series named Marvel Future Avengers. The new series will air this summer on Dlife and is intended for young male audiences. There is currently no set release for the series outside of Japan.

The anime will follow Makoto, a young boy who gets superpowers after gene manipulation experimentation from evil forces. He and other youths will join the Avengers as apprentices named Future Avengers, similar to the comic Avengers Academy. The show will follow the young team as they train, fight villains, and grow under Avengers members Captain America, Thor, Hulk, Iron Man, and Wasp.

Additionally, Teruaki Mizuno will draw a manga version that will appear in the April issue of Shogakukan's Bessatsu Coro Coro Comics Special that will ship Tuesday.

This will be the sixth anime series from Marvel after the Marvel Anime series Iron Man, Wolverine, X-Men, and Blade as well as Marvel Disk Wars: The Avengers.
