if Norton play up, they will just do a avengers battle the hulk and in the end bruce banner lies face down in the dirt … finito no norton, move on with the story, they fight aliens as in the animated avengers, or ultron or something… No?

Rob says:

ghost-rider doesn’t have star power

it is the worst film ever made, there’s not even the slightest chance of him being in avengers.

790 says:

Yeah I knew Ghost Rider wouldn’t make it into Avengers but it was still a great film.

JimboVA says:

I’m really surprised there is more support for Ant-Man than for Vision! Maybe it’s because I didn’t start reading Avengers from the start … but when I think of the Avengers – I always see Vision on the Team. I also like the idea of maybe having a X-Man on the team. Or maybe even The Thing from Fantastic 4.

I don’t really like the Thor/Loki as villians angle. I would prefer someone like Ultron. Maybe they can even use somebody like Baron Zemo or a small villian team like the Wrecking Crew ???

JimboVA says:

Reading the rest of the posts … my votes [if I cant have Vision] would probably be Hawkeye or Black Widow. No expensive CGI .. they are pretty basic. Also – Namor could be a villian. He seems to go thru all those “crazy phases” where he forgets who he is and plans war on the surfice world …

Wolfonthelam says:

I imagine the plot will come pretty close to The Ultimates stuff. Banner is hired to do the scientific work on the super soldier serum (partly why it was mentioned in the Hulk movie) and along the way he hulks out. The Avengers Assemble to drop the nerd turned dangerous monster.

The obvious ones in the line-up… Cap, Iron Man, The Hulk, are all great ideas, not so keen on the ones that will probably be there too… Thor and Ant-man are kinda crappy characters in terms of movie marketability. I’m really hoping their solo movies get lost in the same drawer as the once rumored young magneto and Professor X project.

I can imagine an addition of Black Panther to the line-up, there’s good potential for a solo… or Storm, Panther movie there. And Wasp sure is a better option than Ant-man.

I’ll just keep my fingers crossed for a West Coast Avengers, just so I can see USAgent beat the crap out of Hawkeye on the big screen :)

Panda says:

I think the Hulk set up for Banner to have more control, so when it comes to Avengers he will be an active member of the team.

Avengers villains… Zemo is a likely choice. Probably be a setup from the Cap movie.

I can see Pym in Avengers, but Black Widow deserves her own flick more than he does. It could be a great espionage/spy movie. Widow makes more sense in Avengers to add a female to the mix.

Hawkeye and Cap are a little to similar (I always thought of Hawkeye as the West Coast Cap).

BRAVEHEART says:

WITH SO MANY SUPERHEROS IN ONE MOVIE,WILL IT BE LIKE X.MEN AND HAVE LEAD CHARACTERS THEN INTRODUCE MORE THAT ARE MORE IN THE BACKGROUND AND JUST GET A GLIMPS OF THEM!?!
I’VE ALWAYS SAID THAT AN AVENGERS MOVIE IF HANDLED RIGHT COULD BE AS BIG AS STAR WARS…AND I STILL BELIEVE THAT BUT HAS TO HAVE A CAST AND CREW THAT WILL PUT 1OO% INTO THE PRODUCTION AND MARKETING OF THE FILM…IF THEY GET MORE MAJOR STARS FOR ROLES,MABEY THEY COULD WAIT TILL AFTER THE MOVIE’S BEEN A MONSTER AT THE BOX OFFICE BEFORE COLLECTING THIER CASH,AND RELEASE MORE CASH FOR THE ACTUAL FILMING OF THE MOVIE….
ALSO IF MARVEL GOT THE RIGHTS BACK SO THEY COULD ADD A CERTAIN WEB-HEAD TO HAVE A CAMEO IN IT THEN BOY CAN YOU IMAGINE THE POTETIAL IT WOULD HAVE….
BUT STAY CLEAR OF A FANTASTIC FOUR PRODUCTION AND DIRECTOR.

INK says:

I would be a happy, happy man if Marvel got back the movie rights to Spidey … but, ain’t never gonna happen. He makes to much moola for Sony.

greenknight333 says:

Does anyone know how long Sony and Fox have movie rights on Spidey, X-Men and FF? I’d be curious to know…Vic?

Sorry, I have no idea.

Vic

BRAVEHEART says:

IF THERE ARE NO-MORE FF MOVIES COMING OUT FROM FOX AS WE’VE HEARD…THEN SURELY MARVEL CAN GET HOLD OF THEM AND RE-DEVELOPE THEM AND ALSO MABEY SILVER SURFER AND GALACTUS WOULD MAKE A WELCOME APPEARANCE IN AN AVENGERS MOVIE TOO..
EVEN IF IT TAKES A FEW YEARS,WE NOW HAVE THE GREAT DREAM OF “ALL” MARVEL CHARACTERS BEING MADE BY MARVEL STUDIOS!!!
ISN’T IT GREAT BEING A MARVEL FAN RIGHT NOW!?

greenknight333 says:

It certainly is…

JY says:

Here it is: the ultimate suggestion for Marvel and Avi Arad for casting Captain America!!! (and I have thought about it):

Chuck Norris.

He would be absolutely perfect in every way, including the way that his age could factor into this and subsequent movies.

Any better suggestions are welcome and encouraged, as I think the casting on Cap should in this case be done by the loving public fans.

@JY Um, Chuck Norris may be in decent shape, but the man’s 68 years old. I’m sorry but that’s too old IMHO.

Tatiana says:

“And will the budget for an Avengers movie really end up being higher than the budget of NASA’s last mission?”

That was PRICELESS.

In terms of The Avengers movie, I have mixed feelings. I can’t proclaim that I’m super knowledgeable of the Marvel universe. So unless it had an animated TV show, I probably never heard of them. I saw Iron Man because I had SOME inkling about the universe, and enjoyed the trailers but I am not sure about making individual movies for heroes that basically unknown to people outside the comic book reading universe?

In that context, I think it’s a pretty risky gamble. For X-Men it was easier to have a larger cast because a majority of people at least know the big faces (Prof. X, Storm, etc) but to make a movie for Thor or Ant-Man might be pushing it I feel. And then to attempt a cross-over of all these characters in hopes of sustaining a viable plot, where everyone gets enough screen time and a movie that isn’t longer then all three Lord of the Rings movies together will be one hell of an attempt.

But I suppose people will still see them if the trailers are good enough. They’re making all sorts of (somewhat) unknown comics into movies but it’s just a question of whether it’s going to be a good movie.

They’re probably better off turning the Justice League into a movie – I think I’d rather see that.

Nerdling says:

1. Marvel’s Thor has very very little to do with Norse Mythology. Also people need to get tid of the idea of the Norse Thor being compassionate in any sense. He was the ultimate ideal for the Vikings. A warrior that strikes fear upon his enemies and soforth. Okay, the vikings robbed and plundered almost all of England, raping an obscene amount of women and girls in any country with a seaborder, drank and did shroom like drugs when they went on a killing spree. What does that tell us about the Norse Thor? Marvel Thor has very little to do with norse mythology, thus peoples connection with Norse Mythology should have nothing to do with the marketabillity of Marvel Thor.

2. Not all Europeans(such as my self) will dislike Captain America. I remember him as being a very decent superhero. As ive gotten older i tend to like him more and more. (especially when i read 1602 and the likes) It is true there is an very large amount of Europeans that quite frankly hate America, but is far from all of us and many of those who hate the U.S. will se Captain America as an symbol of Americas current state, but i believe if they just angle Captain America as a superhero who arose from beating up nazis, they could pull him off. Also if he was mildly disgruntled with the state of mind in The U.S. whilst having trouble adapting to the modern society. (would love to see him mourn Bucky.)

3. Antman should be a character who seems to be somewhat a comical sidekick, but also the mcguffin of the movie. Like R2D2. He must have something the enemy wants.

4. The villain imo should be someone we havent seen on the big screen who poses an ideologic threat to every member of the Avengers. Im thinking an Economic threat to Stark, an antipatriotic force opposite Steve Rogers. A religious fanatic contrast to Bruce Banner and a very human evil against Marvel Thor.

5. As for the global politics discussion in this fora i only have this comment. If compassion and fairness fails in an capitalist and democratic world, why would it succeed in an socialist world?

6. U are all NERDS!!!

Rob says:

Holy crap, if only Chuck Norris was 20 or so years younger, him as Captain America would cause the biggest media frenzy the world has ever seen…ever!

I think I would die of a heart attack if that occurred

and yo Nerdling, isn’t a nerd a dude involved with tech and stuff, lol. I think ‘geek’ is the word you want, but I don’t like that word, despite being a huge movie buff myself

Nerdling says:

I dont think Nerd knows more about tech stuff than any other person in the same category. A geek was once person who bid the head of chickens. Commonly used derogatory towards outsiders with odd Facial features/body features. Nerd is also derogatory towards outsiders, with the only difference that they may not be distinct in a physical manner from the rest of the group. Mostly i believe a Nerd to be a person without any life. Although it seems more and more people are taking pride in being a nerd (which is not unexpected due to the standard of living nowadays.) the term applies both to people who know how to disassemble a computer and put it back together blindfolded and for people who know what properties there is in any Magic Card:the gathering card by name. The words are meant to demean persons and dequalify them as sexual objects. That was the original purpose of the word. When Nerds around the world are embracing the word, it is a phenomena much like black men taking the N-word and turning it to a somewhat positive. But Nerd is not quite there yet. It is still an demeaning word towards many people in this fora, with the exception of those who embrace it. anywho… Now imagine a world where Nerd is as much censored as the N-word. There would arise quite a bit of confusion. Nerd!!

High Kalibur says:

Wait…. what studio is in charge of this project? I say give it to Paramount! Who did the Incredible Hulk –wasn’t it Marvel Studios? Let Marvel do their own movie, Universal to distribute.

The Avengers can be a historical film, P-L-E-A-S-E do it right!

JP says:

Maybe Marvel could use the Avengers movie for save the Fantastic Four franchise.
Do you imagine it? The original Avengers (plus Capi, less WASP) almost losing the final battle and in last three minutes of the movie The Fantastic Four, the Ghost Rider, the X-Men, Spidey, Daredevil, Elektra, a few SHIELD agents and Silver Surfer appear to help.

quicksilver says:

Hmmmmmm

Jim Beam says:

Thor should follow the Donald Blake character who gets cast to earth as a mortal, stripped of his immortality by Odin as a lesson of humility.
And then What If Loki Stole Thor’s Hammer? Uh sorry just remembering that comic book.

I hope they just stick to THE original Avengers first roster. Thor can hold his own against Hulk (I’d like to see Grey Hulk though)

I’d also like to see an X-men Reboot. Now that they can show that superhero films are successful, I’d like to see the X-men redone, using the original X-Men team of Beast, Jean Grey, Cyclops, Iceman and Angel. And Beast should be his human self with those large hands and feet. Not blue fur, blue fur happened in X-Factor.

And THEN later on they can introduce the second X-men team. AND finally do the Mutant Massacre storyline with the Morlocks, Marauders and Thor (yes Thor) before he became Thor Frog.

todd says:

After joining the Avengers, Maya returns to Japan to keep an eye on Elektra Natchios, a dangerous assassin rumored to be leading the Hand, check on the Silver Samurai from time to time, and hopefully solve the conflict between The Hand and Clan Yashida. As Ronin, around the conclusion of the Civil War between the pro- and anti-registration factions in America, Maya fights Elektra and is killed, but is soon resurrected by the Hand with the same process used to raise Elektra. They take Maya captive with the intent of turning her into an assassin for The Hand. Luke Cage, Spider-Man, Wolverine, Doctor Strange, Spider-Woman, Iron Fist, and the new Ronin rescue her and escape, leaving a furious Elektra to send the Hand after them. During a brief lull in the fight with the Hand, in which Luke Cage tries to negotiate with Elektra to buy time, it is revealed that the Hand has been successful in brainwashing Maya, as she subsequently stabs Dr. Strange with a sword given to her by one of the Hand[2]. She continues to fight the New Avengers until Dr. Strange is able to release his Astral Form, with Wong’s help, and frees Maya from the brainwashing. Maya then charges straight for Elektra, who is fighting Luke Cage, and brutally stabs and slices her with a sword. It is revealed afterwards that Elektra is a Skrull warrior in disguise[3]. They return to New York, after Spider-Woman’s apparent betrayal of them when she steals the corpse of the Skrull Elektra[4]. The Avengers hide in a hotel room, (Strange’s magic making it appear that Echo is the only person in the room) before returning to Strange’s Sanctum Sanctorum. Echo officially hands the Ronin identity over to Clint Barton after they arrive[5]. After Strange confirms their identities by casting a spell that shows everyone their true nature- Echo appearing dressed in a female variation of Daredevil’s costume- the team heads to Stark Tower to stop The Hood’s attack on the building. There, they encounter the Mighty Avengers locked in battle with an army of invading symbiotes, one of which latches on to Echo[6] before Iron Man manages to cure those infected.

ShadreaD says:

It would be cool if wolverine joined the avengers in the movie.
Then the movie will get more interesting. I think those heroes should be the avengers in the movie:

1- Wolverine
2 – Spiderman
3 – Iron man
4 – Captain America
5 – Thor
6 – The hulk

Those should be perfect. Well at least for me. See ya

High Kalibur says:

I like that roster, although if a trilogy is planned it could make sense to bring them in through the sequels.

Unfortunately, Wolvie and Spidey are licensed by Fox and Sony respectively — so it isn’t going to happen. I think Civil War would be the best storyline to incorporate into Avengers 2 & 3.

Screenrant should write an article about “Which Villain(s) will be in the Avengers” — because that will be crucial to the story that brings the selected heroes together.

As of now, my vote is a revamped Doctor Doom (ignore Fantastic Four *Begins throwing up*)… Iron Man and the Avengers have had their fair share of problems with the lad, plus he is the most intelligent villain in the comics and Tony Stark’s intelligence rivals Richard’s.

What other Villain ideas are out there?

Baldour says:

I was watching 2 and a half men the other day and I would love to see Kelly Stables as Wasp. She is naturally tiny and smoking hot. any thoughts?
