Bringing even more cartoons to the small screen, Marvel Animation is beginning production on The Avengers: Earth’s Mightiest Heroes, the company’s latest animated series.

Film Roman (The Simpsons) has been hired to produce the 26-episode series which will be available for broadcast sometime in 2011 just in time for the Captain America and The Avengers live-action films.

Ciro Nieli (Teen Titans) will produce the series. The story is being worked on by Christopher Yost, who has worked on previous animation endeavors including Fantastic Four and Iron Man.
