In the Avengers: EMH Season Two teaser you've seen new characters such as Vision, Surtur, The Thing, Dr. Doom, etc. revealed to what I'm sure is nothing but delight. However, in this recent podcast with Marvel, Chris Yost lets it slip that another Marvel team will be featured in the second season as well. Here's a synopsis of the main highlights below:

-He and Producer Joshua Fine mapped out an early storyboard for where they wanted to take the animated Avengers series early-on.

-Similar to the first season, expect a ton of more Easter Eggs

-The X-Men and Guardians of the Galaxy will cameo [*we already knew about The Guardians but not the X-Men]

-The Serpent Society was one of his favorite cameos in Season 1. Director and developer Ciro Nieli favors The Howling Commandos so expect to see more of them.

-The foreshadowed plotlines from Season 1 will "explode" in Season 2. One of the big plotlines in the second season will focus on The Skrulls. The show will be giving it's own spin on the Secret Invasion storyline which will play out during the first half of the season.

-Expect to also see a few "classic" Avengers comic book stories adapted as well

-The Masters of Evil, Loki and Kang the Conqueror will all return at various points during Season 2

There's a bit more in the podcast on Avengers: EMH and Yost also discusses his run on Scarlet Spider and the possibility of adapting it for animation, so be sure to hit the source link below to listen to the podcast in it's entirety.

[Editors Note: While writing this article, I stumbled across these highly spoiler-ish images below. Some may have seen it already, but if you're like me, this is new.]---UPDATE: The below art was indeed made by one of the artists on the show but doesn't necessarily confirm that this will be the look of the characters on the show or if characters such as Black Goliath and The Watcher will appear. It's more like concept art.

The Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes is an American animated television series by Marvel Animation in cooperation with Film Roman based on the Marvel Comics superhero team the Avengers. The show debuted on Disney XD in Fall 2010 starting with a 20 part micro-series.

Marvel Entertainment, LLC and Disney XD have announced that a "new Marvel Universe" programming block which includes Season 2 of Avengers and animated Ultimate Spider-Man series will begin broadcasting in April 2012.

The series initially features a team based on the roster for the original Avengers, composed of Iron Man, Giant-Man, Hulk, Thor, and the Wasp. The team is later joined by Captain America, Black Panther, and Hawkeye. In terms of tone and style, the series is based primarily on the original stories by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby. However, it also tends to utilize material from all eras of the comic's run and other sources such as the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

Not bad, not bad at all. Ultron was pretty awesome in Season 1, looking forward to his return. (Strange that it wasn't mentioned.)

Destroyer14 - 3/22/2012, 1:02 PM

Oh, and I wonder how Rulk will fit into this, should be interesting.

JBatesyFilmreviews - 3/22/2012, 1:07 PM

That picture is so confusing! It seems they have made x men their version of Alpha Flight with the candian leaves on the costumes and sasquatch on the team?! And Bill Foster?! WHAAAAAA

LMB10 - 3/22/2012, 1:10 PM

That image is fan art by one of the shows artists I'm fairly sure.

TheFlyingGarcia - 3/22/2012, 1:14 PM

Why is ant man black....

brokeBatman - 3/22/2012, 1:15 PM

HULK VS RED HULK! nice.

DoodPool - 3/22/2012, 1:19 PM

@DeadPOoly01

It's probably Goliath, he uses the same kind of suit to grow like PYM does.

thewonderer - 3/22/2012, 1:23 PM

Does anyone know if Ultimate Spiderman is set in the same universe as this?

Gutts81 - 3/22/2012, 1:25 PM

YES! YES! YES! My dick is so hard for this series!

TheFlyingGarcia - 3/22/2012, 1:26 PM

@doodpool@ Thanks. I'm assuming he's replacing him since hank sort off quit in the last season.... ?

csdot - 3/22/2012, 1:28 PM

does Rogue flying around in a Ms Marvel type suit mean well see her take Carols powers? that seems quick.

superotherside - 3/22/2012, 1:29 PM

Looks great! Can't wait!

thewonderer It may or may not be, nothing official yet. It seems it might be but at the same time, it might not as USM, seems to have younger versions of Doom, etc. whereas EMH seems to have a more adult version which uses magic as well as technology. But who knows. :)

Gutts81 - 3/22/2012, 1:30 PM

Now this is a question to everyone on the site. Is it me< or do the xmen costumes have maple leaf on the left side like Alpha fight?

soundwave129 - 3/22/2012, 1:33 PM

That image is fan art.

FightAs0ne - 3/22/2012, 1:35 PM

Awesome sauce

calin88 - 3/22/2012, 1:37 PM

question guys? when Thor is looking at Earth an says "Avengers, the world is in your hands" what does it mean? does he leave? I hope not

marvel72 - 3/22/2012, 1:51 PM

i did call that the x-men would cameo,what with avengers vs x-men over the next six months in the comics.

can't wait for this to air.

SWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEET

jazzman - 3/22/2012, 2:20 PM

@JBatesyFilmreviews

Wolverine is canadian so they made his costume to represent his background

@DeadPOoly01

that is Bill Foster aka Goliath and the second person who took the mantle of Giant-Man

DarkKnight17 - 3/22/2012, 2:22 PM

pesmerga44 - 3/22/2012, 2:33 PM

From the poster art with the X-men in Alpha Flight style costumes I am guessing it my be an Exiles type story with the Avengers getting transported to another dimension where the X-men were all Canadian and formed there. Now with Bill Foster maybe he takes up the mantle in season 2 possibly we will see.

6of13 - 3/22/2012, 2:36 PM

Double dose of The Avengers in April!
And I love this show.

SolidSnake007 - 3/22/2012, 2:57 PM

I want to see Dr. Strange!!!!!!!!!!!!

Epicenter - 3/22/2012, 2:58 PM

The "Canadian X-Men" image is indeed just fan art created by one of the show's artists. He did it as a thank you for working on season 2. Here's his quote.

"Portfolio: Avengers EMH crew Gift Poster…
Hey Folks. This is a crew poster I did for the folks I worked with on “The Avengers: Earth’s Mightiest Heroes” upon the completion of my duties when we wrapped preproduction on episode 52. Sort of a “What If” scenario that was never addressed in the show. I had a good time working on that production and so I drew this for my friends with whom I enjoyed working.

Cheers."

TheOmegaOne - 3/22/2012, 3:11 PM

I was having fun watching the video til I saw Red Hulk and my fun went soft.

stumbleMaster57 - 3/22/2012, 3:13 PM

sweeeeeeeeet

Sosa4693 - 3/22/2012, 3:15 PM

Why isnt spodey doing a cameo, or peter parker as a photographer, still gonna be an awesome show to watch, cant wait

TheIconicMan - 3/22/2012, 3:16 PM

Amazing!

Sosa4693 - 3/22/2012, 3:16 PM

Sh*t, meant to write spidey not spodey, damn keyboard

Ha1frican - 3/22/2012, 3:25 PM

Seems they updated Cap, IM, and Thor' custumes to be closer to the film versions. Not a bad thing, just worth noting. Personally i think they all look better.

CyberBishop - 3/22/2012, 3:32 PM

Red Hulk... Nice!

TheDpool - 3/22/2012, 3:39 PM

I hope thats Fan art because Wolverines suit just dont look good, And so many people asking why Giant man is black.... Read a comic lol

MrDuck - 3/22/2012, 4:20 PM

Red Hulk looks badass but I never did like the cape on Black Panther

MadTitan - 3/22/2012, 4:21 PM

looking forward to season 2! a Spidey cameo would be nice too. and hopefully Cap will finally get to say that famous battle cry "Avengers Assemble!"
