MTV mistakenly misrepresented something that Marvel’s editor-in-chief Joe Quesada said during an interview with them regarding the possibility of an Avengers movie. The gist of the article was basically that there was a snowball’s chance in hell of an Avengers movie ever happening.
Turns out that is absolutely not true. (BTW, MTV has put up a clarifying correction in their original post.)
Quesada was referring to the likelihood of movies based on the concept of the Marvel Team-Up series of comic books, where there are stories that throw together characters like Spider-Man and Wolverine into a standalone story. That is what is unlikely to ever happen on the big screen.

The inference seemed odd considering that Marvel just released an updated movie slate which includes an Avengers movie (albeit at the very early stage of “Writer Engaged”).
He did say that his idea of the core “dream team” in an MTV (and thanks to SHH for alerting me to the correction)

Saw that on SHH! early and was looks for a comfirmation. Thank God, that spell was incorrect! Now, Avengers assemble!!!!
FYI, The new Thor comics are excellent!
I think the whole Tony Stark bad guy thing will be explained in the upcoming Marvel event involving the Skrulls. As the previous commenter said, the current Thor comics have been VERY well written by JM Straczynski. Marvel just reprinted issues 1-3 all in one book, try and pick it up Vic, it is damn good reading. Same goes for the Captain America books, Ed Brubaker is doing a great job there (along with Iron Fist). It looks like the Winter Soldier (Bucky) will be filling in for Steve Rogers, I think everyone needs to give it a chance.
Agree with everything you said,Vic.
They probably killed Thor becuz he could kick the Hulk’s @$$ with one hand behind his back,and that would be a problem for a book like WWH,where Hulk HAS to smash EVERTHING and “nothing can stop him”……BS.
Vic
I don’t know about that,Kel. Would be great to see WWH battle it out with the “new atitude” Thor. Maybe Marvel’s waitng to showcase this event in the future.
Has the new Cap killed “yet” and is the pistol a special?
Vic
Main thing with the Avengers movie is, are they going to pull a Justice League and make Iron Man, Captain America and Thor movies, and then just change all the actors when they bring all the characters together?
Vic
A little off topic I know, but I liked how in the Ultimate Avengers Animated movie and The Invincible Iron man, despite being totally different versions of Iron Man, they kept Marc Worden doing the voice. Nice touch I thought.
I’m dissapointed that there won’t be any Marvel Team Up movies. I think that’s the direction to go in. Imagine the Increwdible Hulk Vs. the X-Men, or Spiderman and Daredevil battling each other and the Kingpin; that would rule!
I can’t wait for the inetivable blockbuster team up of squirrel-girl-girl and slapstick.
Tony Stark is gonna get fired from shield, cry over Steve Rogers and hit the bottle again, then as we do with our real-live “celebrities” we’ll forgive him once he goes to rehab for three an a half days.
I would however buy a ticket to see the Avengers movie!
T., IMO, there still could be some Marvel Team-Up movies just not with the characters that are already own by different studios. Marvel could still make Team-ups like the following: Shield and Ironman, Cap and Deadpool, Moonknight and Black Panther, Thor and Hulk(again).
