Disney XD has a special one-hour preview of Marvel’s Avengers Assemble, airing Sunday, May 26 at 11 a.m. ET. The show officially premieres Sunday, July 7 at 11 a.m. ET as part of the “Marvel Universe” block on the channel.

In the first part of the special preview, Captain America is apparently destroyed by Red Skull, so Iron Man re-unites the team to try and avenge his friend and stop Red Skull’s army. In the second part, Red Skull steals Tony Stark’s armor, and the Avengers must galvanize the team to stop him and M.O.D.O.K. from destroying New York City. Marvel’s Avengers Assemble stars Adrian Pasdar (Heroes) as Iron Man, Fred Tatasciore (Kung Fu Panda: Legends of Awesomeness) reprising his role as Hulk, Roger Craig Smith (Wreck-It Ralph) as Captain America, Travis Willingham (Shelf Life) as Thor, Troy Baker (Marvel’s Ultimate Spider-Man) as Hawkeye, Laura Bailey (The Super Hero Squad Show) as Black Widow and Bumper Robinson (The Game) as Falcon.

Disney XD’s hit comedy series Crash & Bernstein has gotten the okay for a second season. But it shouldn’t come as a surprise. The “bro-comedy,” about a boy named Wyatt Bernstein whose new puppet Crash comes to life and becomes his loud-mouthed line-stepping surrogate brother, is one of the network’s most popular series in total viewers and across target kid and boy demographics. Production will resume in July and season 2 will premiere this fall.

“Disney XD continues to push creative boundaries for a sitcom and Crash & Bernstein delivers on this promise week in, week out. Crash has quickly become an iconic character on the network, and we look forward to a second season of more purple attitude and disruptive fun with this talented cast and creative team,” says Adam Bonnett, Senior Vice President, Original Programming, Disney Channels Worldwide.

The show airs Mondays at 8:30 p.m. ET/PT.
