MARVEL'S AVENGERS: SECRET WARS Returns for Action-Packed One-Hour Premiere

Earth's Mightiest Heroes unite once again to fight the foes no single hero could withstand alone as MARVEL'S AVENGERS: SECRET WARS (previously "Marvel's Avengers: Ultron Revolution") debuts a fourth season with a one-hour premiere on SATURDAY, JUNE 17 (11:30 a.m.-12:00 p.m. EDT), on Disney XD, and on the Disney XD App and VOD (12:01 a.m. EDT).
