MARVEL SUPER HERO SQUAD: JENNIFER MORRISON
Jennifer Morrison is providing the voice of Wasp for Cartoon Network's upcoming Marvel Super Hero Squad animated series.
Morrison, 30, has been a cast member for all five seasons of Fox's House, playing Dr. Allison Cameron.
Morrison is featured in the new Star Trek movie, playing Winona Kirk, the mother of Captain Kirk.
Morrison's younger sister, Julia, provides the voice of Screaming Mimi in the series.
"They have to battle each other in the show -- and we found Julia through Jennifer," Marvel's Cort Lane told The Continuum. "Julia is an actress and very talented opera singer, which came in very handy for Mimi's sonic blasts -- Julia did the high-pitched squeals herself."
Super Hero Squad will launch later this year on Cartoon Network. Twenty-six episodes are being produced.
Look for more on the show soon here in The Continuum.
IRON MAN: ARMORED ADVENTURES: "COLD WAR"
"Cold War," a new episode of Iron Man: Armored Adventures, will premiere on Nicktoons on Friday.
Here's how the network describes the episode:
"Iron Man is still trying to take down Obadiah Stane when he finds someone else with the same objective -- Blizzard. Ignoring Rhodey's warnings, Iron Man and Blizzard unite to take down Stark International from the inside out, but Iron Man soon realizes he and Blizzard are fighting for two different causes. There's a fine line between revenge and justice, and now it's armor versus ice with Stane's life as the prize."
