With the spate of Marvel films coming this year, including a new Iron Man film, it’s only mildly surprising that Disney would share its lucrative Marvel license with Warner Bros. to have Traveler’s Tales develop LEGO Marvel Super Heroes.
The game will, like LEGO Batman 2: DC Super Heroes, reference the many Marvel films released in the past, including the Spider-Man franchise, the Iron Man films, The Avengers, and others. The plot itself has an original story in which Nick Fury summons The Avengers and other Marvel heroes (including, if the image is to be believed, Deadpool) to save the Earth from both Loki and Galactus.
The game will be released this Fall 2013 for every platform imaginable, including PC, Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3.
