Entertainment Weekly has announced a new movie from Marvel Animation titled Iron Man & Hulk: Heroes United. The movie, due out on home video April 23rd of next year, will feature Iron Man and Hulk fighting Zzzax. It will be comprised of a combination of computer-generated animation and hand-drawn art.

According to Jeph Loeb, the movie will focus on the origin of Zzzax as the two heroes meeting thinking the other is to blame. Loeb and Kevin Feige teased the idea that this could be interpreted as a sequel to this year's The Avengers, and they intend to replicate the banter seen between Bruce Banner and Tony Stark.

Adrian Pasdar and Fred Tatasciore have already been confirmed as Iron Man and Bruce Banner/Hulk. Dee Bradley Baker will play Zzzax.

Loeb stated that this will likely lead to more direct-to-video features again, including more team-ups.
