Marvel and Disney characters are set to team up in Phineas and Ferb: Mission Marvel, a landmark Phineas and Ferb episode in which Marvel Super Heroes and the popular animated duo, Phineas and Ferb, defeat Marvel Super Villains and Dr. Doofenshmirtz. This is the first-ever crossover animated television special for Marvel and Disney characters. Following the TV premiere, Disney Channel SVOD and verified users on WATCHDisneychannel.com and the WATCH Disney Channel app for iPad, iPhone and iPod touch will be treated to a first look at the programme.

“The Marvel series and Phineas and Ferb both feature strong, memorable characters and compelling stories for kids and families alike, and we’re excited to present their great match-up to Disney Channel and Disney XD viewers this summer,” said Eric Coleman, Senior Vice President, Original Series, Disney Television Animation.  

“This is a real Marvel Super Hero operation,” said Jeph Loeb, Head of Marvel Television. “It’s an extraordinary opportunity for these two franchises to come together and create an adventure never before seen in the world of Marvel and Disney.”

Creators and executive producers Dan Povenmire and Jeff “Swampy” Marsh worked closely with Marvel’s creative team to ensure the Marvel characters fit seamlessly into the Danville world of the Emmy Award-winning series.
