[Movie] The Avengers (2012)

One of these four women will most likely be taking the only other large female roll (aside from ScarJo as Black Widow) in the movie to round out the cast. It's apparently Nick Fury's assistant, according to Sam L. Jackson. Maybe a Maria Hill type?

I hope that they aren't basing casting decisions on appearance.

I was only going to see this because of Ed as the Hulk, but now that he's not in it I don't think it will be very good.

I was only interested because of Edward Norton too.
There's still Robert Downey Jr., but he's no Ed Norton.

Mike Fleming over at Deadline is saying that Cobie Smulders (How I Met Your Mother) is the front-runner to play the last major role. If he is to believed, I am a super-genius and got it right when I speculated the role would be Maria Hill, who in the comics ran S.H.I.E.L.D. between Nick Fury and Tony Stark.

He also says that Smulders was on Whedon's radar before to play Wonder Woman when he was attached to that project.

There should be an official announcement on the casting before the end of the weekend.

And seriously: WTF is up with the flamethrower robots? This movie looks like epic fail, which in turn bodes ill for The Avengers.

He's a soldier in a war. What do you expect it to look like?

Actually first off, what exactly is wrong with it?

Looks sweet! Can't wait.

He looks really good slim in the beginning.

I am happy with this.

Not an extremely exciting trailer, but it works for me.

In other words

yesyesyesyesyesyesyesyesyes

To preface: I would still call this a rumour, but Ain't It Cool picked it up and it would make me really excited if it were true.

Apparently Marvel shot a specific teaser for the movie, probably to attach to Captain America or Thor. AIC says that teaser will feature Loki, but Latino Review is taking it further and saying that the film will feature the Skrulls as well.

Almost any other director I might be nervous about that. But Joss Whedon could knock this out of the park.

I never expect the movies to follow the continuity of the comics very closely. In this case I'm more excited by the prospect of Whedon going into space again, since he's done it so well before.

No Spider-Man or Wolverine cameos in the Avengers movie? Waaaaaaaaat.

They are part of the New Avengers, whereas this movie is suppose to be about the founding members.

Though it's kind of hard to say if there will be cameos or not when they haven't even started production yet.

I have to say I have always been a big fan of The Avengers and if this movie flops I will be very disappointed. I am very grateful that they are using some of the actors from the independent Super hero movies instead of just trying to recast everyone.
Post Script: Even though Hawkeye is my favorite Avenger I have to say the actor casted for him (at least in that picture ) looks for mentally challenged !

any better?

oh man. I can't wait to see this cast all suited up.

Rejoice

IMDb Video: Captain America: The First Avenger -- Trailer #1

Avengers is my favorite anime in my child hood. The movie gonna be hit in the theater.

My question is, where does Batman come into play in all of this?

Two bits of random news today.

One, Loki will not be a villain or the villain in the movie at all as previously speculated.

Secondly, in an interview while doing pretty for Thor Chris Hemsworth assured fans that the movie will pay due service to each of its heroes, not just focus on one or two. Which is pretty much what I was expecting based on Joss' history with ensembles.

Kinda makes me wish Thor wasn't apart of this. I mean he's cool and everything, but I wish he was his own superhero, not a part of the Avengers. I mean, everyone else is all science, and then....GOD.

It's annoying knowing that Gods and monsters exist in the same world as Iron Man
