Immediately following, a brand new episode of “Marvel’s Avengers Assemble” (12:00 – 12:30 p.m., ET/PT) will air in this special super-sized Marvel Universe block on Disney XD.
The Agents of S.M.A.S.H. must work together to tackle threats while learning to balance Hulk-sized action with everyday family-sized problems.
