A new Marvel animated show is about to assemble on Disney Jr. and Disney+ and it’s got some big stars as villains!
Tony Hale will be portraying the humorous villain Ultron in the show “Marvel’s Iron Man and his Awesome Friends.” Vanessa Bayer lends her voice to the character Swarm, while Talon Warburton takes on the persona of Absorbing Man.
The series revolves around the escapades of best buddies and brilliant minds – Tony Stark, Riri Williams, and Amadeus Cho – as they collaborate to tackle challenges big and small while safeguarding their city. To aid them in their heroic endeavors, the Iron Friends possess individual Iron Suits that grant them the ability to soar and provide increased superhuman strength. The show features Mason Blomberg, Kapri Ladd, and Aidyn Ahn as the voices of Tony Stark (Iron Man), Riri Williams (Ironheart), and Amadeus Cho (Iron Hulk), respectively, as per the official description.
This is the first Iron Man preschool series and Bayer, Hale and Warburton are thrilled to be a part of it.
“Being part of the Marvel Universe and voicing Swarm is truly an honor for me. I often find myself playing nice characters, so portraying a villain like Swarm was an incredibly enjoyable experience,” expressed Bayer.

“I’ve been a huge Marvel fan since I was a kid, so being part of this series and getting to share this with my own son fills me with so much gratitude. Now I just have to figure out how to explain to him that his daddy is a bad guy,” said Warburton.

“It’s really fun playing a villain because it gives me permission to yell at people and get paid for it. Yes, please,” exclaimed Tony Hale.
