Mark Hamill and Stan Lee – aka two of the biggest icons in all of geekdom – have come together for a Marvel animated series. So get excited.

The pair are collaborating on Marvel's Avengers: Black Panther's Quest, the next season of Disney XD's animated Avengers series.

Hamill will voice the role of Arnim Zola in the series, the Hydra scientist "with a technological body, [who] has been implanted into this robot-like exoskeleton".

"He's a time traveller who has been locked in a 70-year battle with Captain America. I'm excited because Black Panther is coming into the storyline," he added.

This isn't the first time that Hamill has voiced the character, however, having played the role of Zola in multiple Marvel TV series. He has also been played by Toby Jones in the MCU.

While Hamill had a bit of a love-in with the comic book legend, Lee joked that working with the Star Wars icon was "terrible". Oh, you guys.

This isn't the only Marvel exploit that Hamill may be pursuing at the moment, with the star heavily rumoured to be joining Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 3 after a Twitter love-in with James Gunn.

The pair finally met up last month, though there's been no confirmation that Hamill will be joining the MCU. We live in hope.

Marvel's Avengers: Black Panther's Quest is due to air later this year on Disney XD.
