Mark Hamill and Stan Lee will provide voices for the upcoming season of the ‘Avengers Assemble’ animated series, which will be fully titled ‘Avengers: Black Panther’s Quest’. Lee will provide one of his famous cameos while Hamill will reprise his role as the villain Arnim Zola. The new season premiers this fall on Disney XD.
In “Marvel’s Avengers: Black Panther’s Quest,” the Black Panther must decide his loyalties. Is he an Avenger first or King of Wakanda? As the mysterious Shadow Council rises to challenge Wakanda, T’Challa teams up with his sister Shuri to go on missions that no other Avenger can. It’s a globe-trotting journey of espionage and mystery as old foes resurface and new friends are made. In the end, Black Panther must balance defending his home and stopping threats before they start. Is he a sword or a shield? Only he can decide.
