The Avengers (2011)

Markus Corvinus
I'm really looking forward to this one, it's about time we get a Marvel team up movie. I just hope they really cook up something good, and use the Hulk wisely. I'm still very curious as to what villain will be used, if the Hulk won't be.

In any case, I expect to see a fight scene as great or better than this:

Kazenji
I'm also hoping each character gets enough screen time and not make it concetrate on one character, like what happen with the X-men movies too much time with wolverine (As much as like him).

SpaceMonkey
I can't wait for this movie!

SnakeEyes
As long as the actors are consistent and whoever they pick for Thor/Cap are quality actors, then I'll be excited for it. Right now though, I'm skeptical.

BruceSkywalker
I look forward to seeing this..

Should be a good story

Markus Corvinus
I agree with Kazenji in that this needs to be a real team up kind of movie, and not one that just focuses on one particular hero and then have the other team members nearly be like supporting members. But, I think that they're trying to eliminate that possibility by giving each team member a movie rather than going right into the Avengers movie.

Alpha Centauri
This has the potential to be the Jimi Hendrix of superhero movies.

If everything is set up as best it can, organised well with the solo movies, and then finished with a big movie based on The Avengers (Not Iron Man and friends), it will actually be beyond awesome, hopefully.

If they don't, it'll be a costly disaster.

SpaceMonkey
The fact they they will, hopefully, have no more Terence Howard-type issues where they have to recast an important role it will be great. Glad that Downey Jr. is signed on for it and, apparently, Norton is signed up also.

Why would Spiderman be in this, when Spiderman 4 and 5 will be coming out?

This Avengers movie should have great effects and a good story..

I've read a couple different stories on that

One story said that The Hulk will be the villain, but then anothe one said that the villain(s) is unknown right now

Markus Corvinus
If they have Spider-Man anywhere near the Avengers, I'll puke. Leave this to the big boys, not the little inexperienced kids. Anyway, I think Hulk has to play some sort of big role in this movie, he was one of the original members, afterall. Always has been.

Alpha Centauri
He hasn't been in The Avengers since they started it, if I recall correctly.

He isn't a team player, Hulk isn't a team guy. The Avengers are much more suited to say, Captain America, than Hulk.

-AC

Markus Corvinus
I know, I know, I'm just saying he's at least mandatory for the first movie. He can work as a hero if they take a new approach that doesn't mess up the character.

Endrict Nuul

Next, he's likely to appear in an 'Avengers' movie, but that's completely up to Marvel," she explained. "It's wonderful that Marvel now controls so many of their own characters, and they can create a Marvel universe in film and populate it with so many of their characters who naturally exist together. I think an 'Avengers' film is a very exciting prospect."

Would not surprise me if they threw wolverine in with him.

Markus Corvinus
Nah, it's not gonna happen, I know that for sure. But I'm certain the Hulk will be in it. Otherwise, there wouldn't have been a point in Stark approaching General Ross by the end of TIH.

SpaceMonkey
Spider-Man AND Wolverine??!! That would suck big-time ass! Thankfully they'll be sticking to IronMan, Hulk, THor, and Capt. America ONLY.

No, this wont ever happen. Marvel is kinda being careful now on not to screw their films up unlike DC. Spiderman franchise is in the shits right now, because of SP 3 was crap, Marvel is not pleased with this whole mess. And Marvel already has the characters picked out pretty much and no one in your post will be in the films.

My sentiments exactly. We don't need any nerdy kids in this movie, just the pro's. Spidey's cool and all, but never has been, and never will be Avengers material.

Nah, this movie will be based upon Avengers #1-4 most likely..

Spiderman has his own franchise and will back in screen in HIS OWN movie very shortly..

As for Wolverine, he is the sole property of 20th Century Fox and I highly doubt he will be apart of any Avengers film

Endrict Nuul
Marvel has little control over the SP franchise.

Impediment
If I remember correctly, Spidey was a reserve member of the Avengers. Still, Web Head's name doesn't need to even be mentioned in an Avengers film.

It would take a masterful Director to pull off an Avengers movie...,someone call Cameron.

Lets wait and see how Iron Man2, Captain America and Thor turns out before we get excited over this.

Markus Corvinus
Since Marvel has more control over their characters now as far as movies are concerned, it's a little less for us to worry about. But I do agree we should wait before getting overly pumped up.

Meh. No appearances by Captain America or Thor - just comes off as a mishmash of Marvel clips.
There's an animated fan trailer that looks a lot better on YouTube.

Indestructible
I wish there would be more characters than just Hulk, Thor, Iron Man, and Captain Ameria. I wish we could see Ant-Man, Wasp, Black Panther, and Sub-Mariner.

Kazenji
If they do that then they deffenitly need to make the movie as long as a Lord Of The Rings movie.

Indestructible
lol idc! If not Black Panther and Namor then wasp and ant-man! they were founding members for gods sake!

Pym and Wasp are musts. Hawkeye would be very likely as well. Namor and BP could have pretty awesome cameos if they were to be incorporated.

This is why movie makers need to pay absolutely no attention to the fans.

They have generally no clue what it takes to make a movie. "It'd be cool to see all these.", yes, but it'd never work.

They need to stick to Thor, Capt and Iron Man, with maybe Janet/Hank introduced during the movie.

Especially if they're gonna have Hulk, Fury and allegedly Black Widow too.

Aw how could I forget about Hawkeye?!?!?!?! he is like the mouth of the avengers lol

But he was'nt there in the beginning.

yea but he is a big part of the avengers later on. to be technical cap wasnt there in the begging either

Yeah, but Cap is Mr. Avenger - the flagbearer for the group.
Ultimates made it so the team formed with him as the leader; they're going to be doing it that way.

Yeh I'm all for that. With those three having their own movies it makes complete sense to have them as the initial Avengers team. Janet and Hank could be then be introduced at any point throughout the movie and by the end we would have 5 Avengers ready for the sequel.

Iron Man , Captain America, Hulk, Widow, and Fury is enough for me. Forget the rest.

Ideally there'd be no sequel, and The Avengers would be the big pay off to this work Marvel has done. The work of having a movie-based connecting universe like the comics, but smaller.

If you keep over-doing it, it'll fail and be less of an achievement. Pull it off and you'll have not only made a great series of movies in a genre that's frowned upon, but you'll have a solid body of work.

Assuming that Captain America and Thor go anywhere near as well as Iron Man, The Avengers will be a massive success. The demand for a sequel will be too great, plus they have so much to work with they probably wouldn't want to end it there. However, if they weren't to make a sequel, it makes it much harder to bring in Janet and Hank.

Alpha Centauri
That'll hardly be a loss.

They can bring them in for the first movie. Recruit them, introduce them, done.

They don't NEED that kind of time, for the money it'd cost.

-AC

Imo, any avengers movie has to have:

Cap, Tony, Hank Pym, Thor, then maybe Hawkeye and Janet. Everyone else can have a movie of their own or else just not be in it.

Kazenji
And also have the screen time as long as Lord Of The Rings just to give all the characters enought time on screen.

laughing out loud

imo, all that's needed is for each hero to have at least one major character scene to themselves. if you have hank and janet, that's two for the price of one. that can easily be done in 2, 2.5 hours.

fill the rest of the movie up with action and explosions and so on, and you've got yourself a movie...

Alpha Centauri
I honestly think they should have cast Maria Hill as the director of S.H.I.E.L.D., not Fury.

It's clearly not gonna be an origin story, so it doesn't NEED the history of Stark/Fury, S.H.I.E.L.D./Stark Enterprises.

I feel Samuel L. Jackson is just gonna play Samuel L. Jackson, not Nick Fury. Sure, the Ultimate version LOOKS like him, but it's not written like him.

Casting Maria Hill would have been better. At least cast her too. Am I the only one who thought she was a terrific director? Aside from, you know, being a complete ***** during Civil War.

-AC Yeah she did good, but why would you bring her in as the Director.

I know Nick Fury isn't the biggest mainstream guy ever but for all intents and purposes Marvel has him labeled as the head of shield for the mainstream. In the Marvel Ultimate Alliance game he is the director for Shield.

When compared to Maria Hill he is a much better candidate to gain any kind of public recognition.

Not to mention that while this may not be an origin story for S.H.E.I.L.D. who would you want to push as the general public's face of the organization. It's just gotta be Nick Fury.

It would be like making the first X-Men movie and having Emma Frost leading the Xavier Institute.

Who cares?

The fans know why Maria Hill would be there, and those who aren't fans wouldn't care less who is there.

It would make no sense to have Maria Hill as the chief of SHIELD, no matter how awesome she is or is not.

What would have been more awesome is if you'd ignored my clarifying reply in favour of repeating what HE said, despite me having dealt with that.

Oh wait, you did.

Everyone who reads comics knows who Maria Hill is and who Nick Fury is. In that sense it basically depends entirely on preference.

In terms of people who don't read comics, who is going to care whether it's Nick Fury or Maria Hill? You think that a bunch of teens or a couple on a night out are going to get into The Avengers and say: "Oh for...where the Hell is Nick Fury, former leader of the Howling Commandos? This will not stand!"?

More people know "Professor X, head of the X-Men.", as opposed to "SOMEONE, Director of S.H.I.E.L.D.". The X-Men had a far more prolific media outlet; cartoons and cameos aplenty.

What non-fan knows enough of S.H.I.E.L.D. to care who's in charge?

At the very least, she should be in the movie.

-AC

Doctor-Alvis
To be honest, I've become so bad at keeping up with comics these days that I would be one of those people wondering where the hell Nick Fury is and wondering what's up with this Maria Hill person.

I read enough to know of him, but not enough to know Maria Hill was even a character. Fitting to my in between status on this, I only sort of care. I'm expecting/really hoping it'll be light on the SHIELD stuff because I never really liked the concept.

I don't know why people keep making these comparisons.
The actor who plays the villain always has a different job than the one who plays the hero. ALWAYS. The hero has to be a straight arrow, while the villain can go in any direction, and people always say the villain stole the show. Well, that's partially by design.

I know most of you will probably hate me for saying this and it will never happen but I'd love to see Eric Bana as Banner again. I mean his hulk movie sucked and The Incredible Hulk was a MUCH better movie but I've always thought the casting was far more impressive for Hulk than Incredible.

To me the incredible Hulk with Bana's previous cast would be the perfect Hulk movie. Jus didn't like Norton as Banner, I mean he's a great actor and I normally always like his work but jus didn't fit half as well to me in the part as Bana did. And I hated Liv Tyler's Betty, Jennifer Connelly was WAY better IMO. The only better casting may have been William Hurt to Sam Elliot but both did decent jobs. I did hate Nolte's character. Roth's Abomination was far superior!

Eric Bana...

That would be a funny irony if he returned. I didn't have problems with him.

Nathan Fillion is NOT Ant-Man in The Avengers
by SuperHeroHype

Some confusion arises from today's panel
There seems to be some confusion that Joss Whedon announced Nathan Fillion will be Ant-Man in The Avengers at a Comic-Con panel today. While we couldn't attend, Marvel has confirmed to us that he was joking.

"Nathan Fillion is Ant-Man," he said, adding, "unfortunately Ant-Man isn't really in the movie."

they should have just gone with eric bana....i mean he, Lou Ferrigno, & Norton were the Hulks.

Norton's out(the best choice imo) soo im thinking Bana's the next best since Ferrigno was actually the hulk and not banner.


and the real question is since Norton banner's out will they change up hulks look any at all?

I hope if they have a group of villains like Acts of Vengeance they have the following:
1. Loki (Partner)
2. The Red Skull (Partner)
3. Victor Von Doom (Partner)
4. Baron Wolfgang von Strucker & HYDRA (Red Skull Subordinate and anti-SHIELD battalion)
5. Justin Hammer (Weapons supplier used by The Red Skull)

Other option can be The Skrulls

I agree and all the comic books fans on KMC always give me crap about it...despite Lee's Hulk being truer to the actual character. (minus the size growth thing.)

And it was not a snore fest. It was more interesting than the 08 Hulk. no expression

honestly, i think the first one had better acting and a deeper hulk story. the CGI was just shit, and while that usually wouldn't matter for most movies, for this one it was always going to be a bit part of it.

second hulk had better cgi and better action. yeah, i know, they don't make a movie, but it's a comic book movie.

To each their own the thing that turned me off too the first Hulk film was.

1. the big final battle must have been one of the worst i every seen.

2. When Hulk punch the Hulk dogs in the pills i mean really he is the freakin hulk

Disney isn't waiting for Marvel's agreement with Paramount to run out. They've bought back the rights to The Avengers and Iron Man 3.

I'd be interested in a villain team-up between Loki, Abomination, Black Knight, Absorbing Man, and the Melter.

I highly doubt we will see an Avengers movie before 2013. Thor hasn't even begun filming yet and if that movie and Cap America don't do well we will definitely not see an Avengers movie.

What? You are behind on things. THOR was shot this year, and comes out next May. Avengers cast is set, and begins shooting next January.

I meant to say finished filming. I didn't know it had finished but damn there is already a trailer up lol, right on. I'm still skeptical that we'll see an avengers movie though.

Marvel is feeling very confident in the next three films; it's like a Lord Of The Rings gamble, having so many films shot and ready in a row, for a narrow release window of a year. AVENGERS will be nearly finished shooting by the time THOR is released. But they - Marvel studios - are in control, not the distributor; it's their money. Based on the quality of the previous AVENGERS-related films ( IRON MAN 1 & 2, THE INCREDIBLE HULK), I think it will all work out fine.

Just noticed on superherohype its been debunked.

DAMN! that would have been cool. Why cant studios do a proper comic movie for a change. They better have Ultron in it then.

OK, everyone, filming starts today. It begins!!!!!!

I hope the villian isnt Loki (regardless of history) since he's going to be so prominent in the Thor movie. Its going to be like Magneto in the X-Men series. Too much.

I would say the same for Hulk being the "Villain" aswell. Personaly id like to see Thanos(of course) or Ultron,Kang. Hopefully they will use a villain that is shown to be a powerful threat to the Avengers line up as a whole.

Well not Thanos please. The guy isn't an Avengers villain. Ultron and Kang for sure. No new made up villains though. That would suck.

RE: Blaxican
I wouldn't mind seeing a Hulk that is manipulated by a bigger threat going ape-shit. Watch the Avengers struggle to beat him and have them unite as the climax and beat him down, then the Hulk and everyone else comes together as the Avengers to face the revealed mega-threat, which will extrapolated on in the sequal.

Someone like Thanos is, imo, too big and too abstract to use in the first "origin" story.

On the other hand, I could see a "Skrull Invasion" trilogy working out pretty well.

Wow. Now the weird part is I want to read it, but I also DON'T want to read it. I wish this would just go away.

Personally I hope for a Masters of Evil kind of storyline, yeah, it sounds easy for their first showing, but Kang and Ultron are kind of better as sequels (Ultron handled as they showed in the recent animation and Kang being a huge threat on his own). Too bad the Raft break and the Hood are too hard to adapt because of the effects.

These fan made trailers are hot for the avengers.
