Heroes United is a series of direct to video films from Marvel Animation and the first from its own studio outside any joint ventures.
While Iron Man and Hulk: Heroes United were getting poor reviews after its release in December 2013, a preview of Iron Man and Captain America: Heroes United was put forth.
Iron Man and Hulk: Heroes United is a direct to video animated film by Marvel Animation. The film is the first long form of animation for Marvel since its Marvel Universe TV block and was targeted to children. The film stars Adrian Pasdar as Iron Man, Fred Tatasciore as Hulk/Banner, and Dee Bradley Baker as Zzzax.
The studio used a new process that they invented referred to as a "2-D wrap". This process starts with traditional animation then scanning into the computer to wrap it around the "characters to give texture and weight to backgrounds and strongly emphasize facial expressions."
In October 2012, Marvel Animation Studios announced its first DTV production, a direct to video film, Iron Man & Hulk: Heroes United, which was scheduled to be released on April 23, 2013. The release was pushed back to December 2013. The film's reviews were not favorable.
Two Hydra scientists enlist the Abomination to help them capture the Hulk and siphon his gamma energy into their own version of Tony Stark’s arc reactor. By the time Iron Man arrives to investigate, he and Hulk find themselves facing the newly created energy creature Zzzax. They also fight a Wendigo and a fleet of Mandroids.
Iron Man and Captain America: Heroes United is a direct to video animated film by Marvel Animation. The film was released on Digital HD, On-Demand, and Disney Movies Anywhere on July 29, 2014. It stars Adrian Pasdar as Iron Man, and Roger Craig Smith as Captain America. It is unknown if there will be a Blu-ray and DVD release of the film.
