A new Ultimate Spider-Man cartoon will be the centrepiece of the programming schedule on Disney XD.
The block will also feature new animated short-form series, live-action interstitials and the return of The Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes cartoon.
"Iconic Marvel heroes and villains and stories with core values of accomplishment, discovery and growth make Marvel Universe a perfect complement to Disney XD and a destination for parents and kids to experience together," said Gary Marsh, president and chief creative officer of Disney Channels Worldwide.
"Marvel Universe block is an incredible animated ride filled with fantastic action and adventure," said Jeph Loeb, head of Marvel Television.
"The spectacular team of writers and animators capture stories with all the dynamic fun you can imagine. Disney XD is the perfect place for families and Marvel fans of all ages to come together every Sunday."
Ultimate Spider-Man will be produced by Marvel CCO Joe Quesada and Paul Dini (Batman: The Animated Series, Lost). Stan Lee will lend his voice to the show, which will also feature The Avengers' Agent Coulson.
'Marvel Universe' will launch on Sunday, April 1.
