Planet Hulk to be Animated by Lions Gate/Marvel Entertainment not Madhouse

Humberto Saabedra

Following up on yesterday’s announcement of Marvel’s anime projects at Comic Con International, Entertainment Weekly has confirmed via their exclusive trailer that Lions Gate/Marvel Entertainment will handle animation production on the feature slated for release in 2010, not Studio Madhouse as has been reported by the rest of the media.

The confusion stems from the announcements of the Wolverine and Iron Man projects being announced at the same time as Planet Hulk.
