Hulk and the Agents of S.M.A.S.H.

Eliza Dushku Will S.M.A.S.H. as She-Hulk

Exclusive: Dushku will voice She-Hulk on the animated Hulk and the Agents of S.M.A.S.H. - and Iron Man's showing up too!

In the wake of Buffy/Angel creator Joss Whedon writing and directing The Avengers movie, one of his former Vampire Slayers has been tapped to voice a major Marvel hero.

Eliza Dushku (Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Angel, Dollhouse) will be voicing She-Hulk on the upcoming animated series, Hulk and the Agents of S.M.A.S.H. Adrian Pasdar revealed the news to me today, when we spoke about his recurring role on the new Ultimate Spider-Man animated series, where he voices Iron Man. (Look for that full interview later this week.)

Pasdar, who first voiced Tony Stark in the Marvel Anime: Iron Man series, revealed he would also be guest starring as Iron Man on the new Hulk series. He noted that he'd just been doing voice work on Hulk and the Agents of S.M.A.S.H. the other day with Eliza Dushku, adding, "She does She-Hulk."

The Heroes alum said with a laugh, "The funny thing is if people were to actually visit these animation rooms and see the guys and the girls that are doing it, with the exception of Eliza, who's a stunning beauty, the rest of us, we don't look quite as good as the animation characters they draw for us. It's really quite funny. You see these middle aged guys having fun, playing these younger whippersnappers. It's quite amusing to look around the room. "

Pasdar didn't reveal any story details about his Hulk guest appearance, but remarked, "Iron Man visits Hulk and the Agents of S.M.A.S.H. and that was really fun, working with those guys. So yeah, I'm getting around!"

I should note that Disney XD could not confirm Pasdar's statements about he and Duskhu's roles on Hulk and the Agents of S.M.A.S.H., which still has no specific premiere date announced.

At San Diego Comic-Con last summer, Marvel TV Head Jeph Loeb said that Agents of S.M.A.S.H. would feature Hulk, Red Hulk, She-Hulk, Skaar and A-Bomb, and revealed that Paul Dini (Batman: The Animated Series, Arkham City, Ultimate Spider-Man) was working on the series. In the fall, at New York Comic-Con Leob also said that She-Hulk has some of the best lines in the show.
