The Avengers: News and Speculation

[TheDarkKnight08]

You're gonna love Zodiac. Ruffalo and RDJ playing off eachother are one of the best aspects of the film. It's Hulk and Iron Man berating eachother. :awesome:

I've seen it 3 times and I own it. It truly is David Fincher's magnum opus, next to Fight Club and Se7en. However, I do agree that they play great off of each other and if we see any of that, particularly since they're both scientists in their own right, in the film, I'll be more than happy.

And to your comments about having to sway DC fans about this, I've been a DC fan longer than a Marvel fan, and even with the ****** announcements made at Marvel Comics' panel, I swear I've white hot with anticipation for seeing the Aven gers on the big screen. Just the idea of seeing different superheroes that exist and operate on their own right together in a film is as ambitious as any filmmaker could even dream. This is gonna be epic. If 2012 really is the end of times, I'll die proudly knowing we got to see The Avengers and another Batman film to see the world off!:awesome:

(I'm kidding about that last part, but dammit, I'm excited!)

[JeetKuneDo]

Marvel Studios has the rights to the Punisher back!!!!
Awesome!

Not impressed. Get back to me once the folks at Marvel have stormed the 20th Century Fox buildings and taken back X-Men, Fantastic Four and Daredevil by force. Until then... :o
One step at a time. :)

Scar Jo = yum
Glad she will be in the Avengers i hope her character gets fleshed out more.
"fleshed out"...heh...nude scene?

He was awesome before Iron Man. Unlike a lot or people around here I was a fan of his long before Iron Man. :yay:
Same here. Fan since Less than Zero. And everyone should see Chaplin in my opinion.


BTW Just from seeing this, RDJ needs to host the Oscars at one point. He could be presenting Andy Dick with a humanitarian award and you'd cheer til your lungs gave out.
Probably. :)

[Tony Stark]

They kept all the cool characters in. :o

Why all the hate for Pym? He was an Avenger before even Cap was.

[SpiderByte]

But his film is still in development, and there's only so many new characters you can introduce in one film. Hawkeye took the last available slot, so bye bye Pymmy.

[samsnee]

So do you guys think Scarlett met up with her husband backstage and basically told him his presentation blew?

[Spider-ManHero12]

True dat.

How in the hell am I going to go to sleep tonight??? That clear picture is now my desktop background. Agreed!

[Sawyer]

One reason I'm still giving The Avengers a chance: Joss Whedon. I've loved the guy's stuff for eight years now and I'm not about to let the loss of Norton get in the way of Joss' finest hour.

So I guess War Machine's not in it?

[Doctor Jones]

(I'm kidding about that last part, but dammit, I'm excited!)

I love DC too, but alot of people are complaining or just fearful of The AVengers is setting up for one big failure.

I say we can't really know if we don't try it do we? If it works, it works and we were right, if it doesn't, well... four years down the drain and DC ridicule. Although I'm not condoning a DC vs Marvel war here. As I love the DCU.

Just Marvel a bit more. :awesome:

Nah, man I hear ya. If the world does end in 2012, and I walk out of the hopefully great Superman film or The Hobbit and a meteor hits, I can look up to the sky and say, "Yup, I'm happy." Because of everything leading up to the end could be awesome.

Hell, with all of this awesomness, maybe the world will end because of everything happening next year and 2012? The Mayans somewhere wrote "Avengers and comic book films in 2011 and 2012" but the written proof is lost.

Maybe the Mayans drew the Avengers team on the Mayan Calender. But it's on the back side.

[Downhere]

So I guess War Machine's not in it?

Let's hope not, the movie is already packed and honestly, I didn't care for Cheadle in the role.

[Donut]

I want to see this panel damn it

[Crockett]

Edit

[Project862006]

hope for a cameo of ant man i know fillion is a favorite but i want patrick wilson

fillion age is really showing

[Gold Samurai]

Avenger's assemble! aka suck on it DC

2 videos + 4 photos of the Avengers casting ! It was sooooooo huge. The most awesome thing of the world :shock

[Crockett]

So I guess War Machine's not in it?

He will probably not have as much screen time as the Avengers but I think he is in the movie, but as Rhodey maybe.

[Tony Stark]

So do you guys think Scarlett met up with her husband backstage and basically told him his presentation blew?

It looks like from the pic Chris is whispering to Scarlett, "hey babe, why don't you dump that green loser and come backstage with me. Once you're with a god you'll never go back."

[Sawyer]

Can we not turn this into a DC vs. Marvel thing?

[the alamo rippe]

there going to need one badA* villain to battle these guys.. im thinking HYDRA (http://www.comicvine.com/hydra/65-3480/) with Loki

[JeetKuneDo]

So do you guys think Scarlett met up with her husband backstage and basically told him his presentation blew?

Is this true? I've seen it alluded to several times in this thread. (I've not been to the GL forum yet) I hope not. :(

[Boom]

How about we don't turn this into an unnecessary dick-measuring contest between Marvel and DC?

Don't kill the buzz with that nonsense.

[Doctor Jones]

Can we not turn this into a DC vs. Marvel thing?

Agreed. I like to think DC is taking their time more and are learning their lessons and carefully planning. Marvel already did that, so DC is catching up, which isn't a bad thing. I could care less about a JL film, but I am excited for the expanded film DCU.

[misjuevos]

So I guess War Machine's not in it?
good im glad they arent letting iron man success go to their heads.

[SPider-T0rch]

Sucks to be a poor kid living on the east coast right about now....like me lol. God, I've missed so much that I wanted to see at Comic Con

[The Batman]

Uh....I'm glad everyones getting excited for things we already knew: That a bunch of Big name actors are gonna be in an Avengers film, that Joss Whedon is directing, That renner will be hawkeye, and that Norton will be replaced.

The part that really makes me laugh is the childish marvel vs dc comparisons, made by the same people who cant go a thread in a marvel forum, hell ANY forum without comparing their favorite hero's flick to "The Dark Knight".

I mean, if there were something new reported, I'd be bouncing up and down but...there wasnt. Just a nice get together.

[Captainhulk]

Marvel Studios has the rights to the Punisher back!!!!

What's the point, if Marvel won't make R rated movies?

[Sawyer]

Even if they could, what makes them think anyone would go see it after three failed attempts?

[Tony Stark]

What's the point, if Marvel won't make R rated movies?

So was Punisher War Zone not a Marvel Studios production?

It's just seeing them all gathered together in public for the first time with the music booming in the background.

Sorry you didn't get anything out of it.

[Downhere]

Even if they could, what makes them think anyone would go see it after three failed attempts?

Exactly, Punisher has been crapped on too much, it's pretty much tainted. Although, I did enjoy the previous two, but they just don't seem to catch on with audiences.

[The Batman]

I'm sorry, judging by the downright stupid reactions from some, I'm glad I didnt.

Cant wait for some actual news regarding this movie, though.

[MMMMM...Dounuts]

The reason I'm excited is because I'm actually seeing the actors together on stage and coming to the realization that this movie is actually happening and it will be here fairly soon.

And I agree with you on people being childish over DC vs. Marvel, personally I see it as the best of both worlds. I'm equally a DC fan as I am a Marvel fan.

If anyone offers geek lessons I would advise you to take them. :woot: This is the sort of thing we get excited over. The group pic alone is enough. Heck...I even got excited when I saw the closeup of Thor's helmet yesterday.

[Doctor Jones]

DC will get their due. I see them as just taking their time and correcting their wrongs on the JL film. Just because it's slower doesn't mean it won't happen.

I think for all comic book fans, this is is good news. It shows that things like this are possible and not just stuff of dreams.

[Sawyer]

I mean, they're not my cup of tea anyway, but even if every person on these boards loved the movie, they, and especially War Zone, performed like crap. At this point it seems pretty neck and neck with remaking Gigli.

Hiring the worst actor in Hollywood for one of their big 3 characters, I don't see how they learned anything.

Let me put it this way:

Christopher Reeve
Michael Keaton
Val Kilmer
George Clooney
Christian Bale

Ryan Reynolds?

Reminds me of the Sesame Street song, "one of these things just doesn't belong here."

[Downhere]

Pretty much. There's a high probability that any future Punisher movie will perform like crap, so I think we won't be seeing the character again for quite some time.

[Tony Stark]

Would the stupid reactions include yours?

...just saying.

Dude, Keaton recieved the same and even worse criticisms. He too was a comic actor remember? He was Beetlejuice. Far from what you would call Batman. :cwink:

And Reynolds has done serious roles. He is good in them. Alot of the movies he was in are ****, even thoguh he was more comedic, he was the bright spots of those films.

[Sawyer]

Ryan Reynolds? The worst actor in Hollywood?

I swear, this place gets more ridiculous every day...

Since you're the guy who just claimed Ryan Reynolds is the worst actor in hollywood, id rather you not say anything, but i can tell you cant help yourself.

Thats one mighty fine sig! :awesome:
Gracias :O

[Sawyer]

Van Wilder was the greatest movie of the 21st century and we all know it. :cool:

[AndrewGilkison]

Punisher would be better off as a TV show on HBO at this point. Big blockbuster movies are just not in the cards for the character unless he is guest starring in one of them, like Black Widow guest starred in Iron Man 2.

Dude, you might want to change the colors of Clark Gregg's name. It's making me think the names are moving, and not in a good way.

LOL. I went with "Dark Orange" for that very reason.

Keaton did Clean and Sober before doing Batman. He did way more serious stuff before he did Batman.

I know there was criticism of Keaton at the time, and alot of it was because of his height.

And seriously someone brought up Amityville remake? the one that got a 24% rating on RT?

OK "worst actor in hollywood" is a bit of hyperbole, but he's horrible. He is the most freaking annoying person I've seen on screen. It's not that he was in bad movies, he freaking ruined Blade Trinity. I swear I was hoping Snipes would just cut the dude's head off.

[Project862006]

i wont be happy till Marvel gets daredevil

Daredevil really could give batman run for his money under Marvel imo

[Whiskey Tango]

I thought Reynolds was the best thing about Blade Trinity.

Well, second best, after Jess Beil's rear.

Gotta agree with that. RR has been good in everything I've seen him in. Heck...he was the best part of the Wolverine movie. And that was in a movie starring one of the leading men that most would put on the "good" list of actors playing super heroes. (Hugh)

[Sawyer]

I'm just really pumped that Whedon is doing this.

[The Batman]

I'm just really pumped that Whedon is doing this.

This. Not to mention he tweaked the Captain America script

[BizarroAids]

Aside from all the casting debates and helmet/costume discussions.

We're getting the AVENGERS!

Sorry, that's all I wanted to say. We finally get our team!!

[louiebling$]

Yeah that's pretty freaking awesome. As a fan growing up reading the books, I never thought this day would come.

I'm past the whole Norton think, Ruffalo is a worthy edition, I've been a fan of his work for a long time. I think his personna is perfect for this movie. It's going to be a different interpretation, but perhaps that's what this movie needs.

This is going to be about Banner trying to controll the Hulk to work with the Avengers, and his struggle with that. Even Norton I think would have had to change a bit of the characterizaiton to fit this film.

[TNC9852002]

Did anyone see the teaser?

[Majik1387]

@louie's sig, I like it as is.:yay:

[Sawyer]

I also liked hearing Whedon say that he saw Abrams's Star Trek as pretty much the gold standard for a big team movie. Hopefully this bodes well for the Avengers film.

[The Batman]

I'm hoping wasp makes the final lineup with hank

As much as I like going on Rotten Tomatoes, I hate when someone brings it up in an agrument. Its always feels like d**k move. Thats because it is.

Plus Reynolds hasn't had a bad performance in a film. The films have been terrible but he was never the reason.

[SpiderByte]

I'm hoping wasp makes the final lineup with hank


Well, sucks for you then, because Whedon said that Ant-Man won't be in it. No Hank means no Wasp, since the two are basically a package deal.

Oh, and Fillion said that Ant-Man wouldn't be his choice to play for a superhero either.

[Figs]

I like that pic of everyone at SDCC on state. Renner looks real happy, as he should be. Going from being a fairly new actor to co-starring in a huge summer film.

Hahaha! He was by far not what ruined Blade Trinity. Him and Wesley Snipes were really the only good things about that film.

[Docker2.0]

Ah crap! So Norton really is gone! Dang you Marvel! :argh:

Now that my rage has subsided, bring on Thor and Cap, then the Avengers. Man 2011 can't get here fast enough. 2010 has had to be the most boring summer of movies in ages! Other than Iron Man 2, there's nothing to really look forward to. But next year.....I'm getting wood already! :awesome:

Oh! And for that crap about DC/WB taking their time to do it right, check the sig. That says it all about that taking the time to do it right excuse...........because that's all it is...a freakin excuse. :o

[Sebastos]

Avengers is a trending topic on twitter. :awesome:

His smart ass routine is annoying to me. He seems like a nice guy in real life, and it was very cool what he did for that little kid in the GL shirt at the GL panel (he recited the GL motto and gave him a signed copy of a GL book). But I don't care for him as an actor. I've seen him in multiple films, and I'll give him Van Wilder as that movie is hillarious, but to me he is just an in shape and ripped version of Will Ferrell.

[Docker2.0]

Oh! GL was at the SDCC wasn't he? Honestly, I was looking forward to GL more than any movie coming out next year but now I'm looking forward to Thor and Cap then third on the list is GL. I think Marvel stole all of the thunder from under DC this year. With that being said, there is no way in hell Avengers is going to live up to the hype. It's freakin impossible. Mark my words. :o

[SpiderByte]

Iron Man lived up to the hype. Dark Knight lived up to the hype.

Why not Avengers?

[Sebastos]

Thor is the #1 movie i'm looking forward to next year for sure.

[Spider-Vader]

The Avengers teaser was ALMOST what I had imagined. I would of had shots of the Avengers doing an action move. Iron Man doing his iconic ground slam, HUlk doing a thunderclap, Black Widow flipping around, War Machine shooting up things, Hawkeye quickly shooting arrows, Thor slamming in the ground with lightning everywhere & Cap throwing his shield at the screen.

Also, since the Pyms won't be major players I want War Machine as a main character!

[Sawyer]

Thor is the #1 movie i'm looking forward to next year for sure.

GL and Thor are pretty neck and neck for me.

[Docker2.0]

Iron Man lived up to the hype. Dark Knight lived up to the hype.

Dude..mark.my.words. :o

[Majik1387]

I think it's better for War Machine to worry about Military issues instead of superhuman threats, considering Iron Man is already in the Avengers

[misjuevos]

renner teaming up with whedon again after so many years, look at them now.

[JeetKuneDo]

Ever see "Just Friends"? Hilarious movie due to him and Anna Faris.

[Tony Stark]

I actually really like alot of the DC characters, and if the DC guys want to rip me so be it. I keep hearing that DC is all about "quality over quanitiy" and how they are "learning from their past mistakes".

Sorry that's BS. You're telling me than in 30 plus years since the Linda Carter show, they could not get a script together to do Wonder Woman? They had freaking Joss Wheadon, and they pissed it away.

Nolan fell into their freaking lap, so please don't use his films as an excuse as to why DC can't put anything else decent together save for some renditions of books like V for Vendetta, and a few like that.

DC has been a part of Warner since the 70's. They have a studio and yet they continuously fail to produce this stuff.

I really hope GL turns out great, but I've not been impressed so far. I've only seen three minutes or so of Thor and it looks freaking EPIC with a capital E! I wasn't going to hold it up to Iron Man 1 as I thought it might be unfair, but from what I've seen it very much looks like it could blow IM1 out of the water.

Marvel has put out some stinkers, yeah but at least they are trying, and they are increasing their brand value. DC simply has not done that, and they have driven the Superman franchise into the dirt. We'll see what Nolan can do, but Abrams would have been a much better fit IMO.

[Tony Stark]

Have not seen that one.

A picture is worth a thousand words.

Where was there a description of it?

[Majik1387]

Have not seen that one.
You're missing nothing good, other than Anna Faris.

[Docker2.0]

Could not have said it any better Tony. I like DC and as much as I've batched and complained about a GL movie, they are still dragging their feet on everything. Everyone keeps saying they are doing "quantity over quality" but WTF does that mean? Other than Batman Begins and TDK, what have they done that has been financially successful? Watchmen didn't do that well, Losers and Hex bombed.....but yet, DC is doing it the right way. Get the f out of here. I will say that if GL does well, I do think a Flash movie will happen but that makes no sense! Flash could be as huge as Spidey if done right but yet and still, it all hinges on a character that is like night and day when compared to him.

[Tony Stark]

Does she get naked? might be worth a Netflix rental.

[Spider-ManHero12]

And those words are the word 'awesome' repeated one thousand times. This. :up:

Not that I remember, but she's the funniest thing about the movie.

I want good GL and Flash movies way more than Supes and Batman movies at this point. The two latter have been done to death for me. I would not be shocked if the next Batman movie falls back to the 300 million domestic mark. (I know...but apparently that is "utter failure" territory from the way some describe IM2) Just read a description of the teaser footage of GL today and it sounds cool. I do wonder if its trailers next year are going to look better than Thor and Cap trailers just due to the spectacular nature of GL's powers. (You know we are going to get the giant green fist)

Does she get naked? might be worth a Netflix rental.

She's just funny as h*ll.

Yeah and going to a comicon panel and saying "we've got movies in the works but we can't talk about them." Seriously? This is how they drum up interest from their core audience?

[Dvhyzs]

Avengers will be better than Thor... GL might be better than both of them though.

[Parker Wayne]

Yeah and going to a comicon panel and saying "we've got movies in the works but we can't talk about them." Seriously? This is how they drum up interest from their core audience?

Agreed. Johns said he had some big news for the panel and when time for the panel came, he said he couldn't talk about any of the properties. That was a huge letdown.

[Tony Stark]

I want good GL and Flash movies way more than Supes and Batman movies at this point. The two latter have been done to death for me. I would not be shocked if the next Batman movie falls back to the 300 million domestic mark. (I know...but apparently that is "utter failure" territory from the way some describe IM2) Just read a description of the teaser footage of GL today and it sounds cool. I do wonder if its trailers next year are going to look better than Thor and Cap trailers just due to the spectacular nature of GL's powers. (You know we are going to get the giant green fist)


I didn't see the GL footage, but the Thor footage was uper epic. Even the scene with Agent Coulson interrogating Thor was sweet. We got a hint in IM2 that this isn't just a nice guy in a suit. I love that line "I will taze you and watch Super Nanny while you drool on the floor!" I think he's going to turn out to be a real bad ass in future films.

GL could be very epic if done right. But it could also be a corny effects film. It will be interesting to see how it turns out. But from what I've seen of Thor so far, GL is going to have some big competition.

[babykhris]

I was wondering now that Marvel has The Punisher back should he be referenced in The Avengers. I don't mean a cameo maybe Fury's looking for new members and sees Castle's name and turns him down or something.

[misjuevos]

hope whedon takes a page from branagh and cuts out the alter ego and just uses the hulk as much as he can. i really don't want to have to see banner needing to get mad the whole film. they can use banner for setups, but this should really be the hulk in avengers, save banner for hulk movies. maybe let ruffalo do the voice of the hulk and make the hulk actually interact with the team.

[Sebastos]

They could do a scene with like a holographic projectile of other superheroes if the team is looking for new members.

I though Hemsworth let it slip that Donald Blake was in the film.

Amazing. :awesome:

[Terminator]

Yeah and going to a comicon panel and saying "we've got movies in the works but we can't talk about them." Seriously? This is how they drum up interest from their core audience?

Wouldn't really be much different then Marvel. Did they actually show any footage from Avengers?

[Aesop Rocks]

Renner seems to be having the time of his life.

People are misconstruing the avengers reveal as oh just actors you already knew who were gonna be in just standing on stage oh big deal.

It was all about the delivery imo

after Thor Panel they said "you guys can stay a little longer if you want"

and then they randomly play the teaser and then SLJ and then 1 by 1 each cast member comes onstage it was just an awesome moment and not just a bunch of actors on stage.

it was executing so well and was such a surprise

Yea I was hoping Edward Norton would be the Hulk.... would feel more like a crossover movie like that.

And why isnt Don Cheadle there? War Machine is not in Avengers?

[Terminator]

He is but he's being played by Chris Rock. Didn't you hear? :awesome:

[Ipodman]

So Wasp and Antman is not in? Hmm. I hope marvel squeeze them in

[roach]

im sure casting isnt done...we havent seen a villain/villains yet...and Antman and Wasp might be cameos like Fury started as

[DocHoliday]

won't lie... that Avengers segment is pretty badass and RDJ is the consummate show man.

[SpiderByte]

Let's affirm what we already know: RDJ is a badass mofo.

[Doctor Jones]

His smart ass routine is annoying to me. He seems like a nice guy in real life, and it was very cool what he did for that little kid in the GL shirt at the GL panel (he recited the GL motto and gave him a signed copy of a GL book). But I don't care for him as an actor. I've seen him in multiple films, and I'll give him Van Wilder as that movie is hillarious, but to me he is just an in shape and ripped version of Will Ferrell.

Watch Smokin' Aces and The Nines. In The Nines he plays three different people and you really buy for a fact they are three different personalities.

Buried looks great and I heard he's good in Fireflies in the Garden as well.

[Doctor Jones]

Now I need to see that Cap footage. I missed the live feed and could only catch the last moments of the first showing of the Thor trailer until the end.

[Donut]

There was a live feed of the panel ?

[Spider-ManHero12]

was'nt he good in adventure land too

[Doctor Jones]

I heard that was well even though I haven't seen it.

[Bruce Banner]

was'nt he good in adventure land too

He was rather reserved...in a good way. For the character he had to play it fit perfectly IMO.

[Brian Braddock]

He was very understated in Adventureland - anyone who still has this absurd 'douche' notion of Reynolds or thinks that he only plays one type of character needs to go watch that movie; Smokin' Aces too. Sure, the beginning of S.A. may be 'vintage' Reynolds, but once the **** hits the fan, you get to see a more sombre and serious side to the guy.

Hell, lets go one further. You want serious? how about the Amityville Horror remake.

Reynolds hardly played that like it was a comedy, did he?

[Blackman]

Eh... don't watch Adventureland that movie was pretty weak. He's not even in it that much. Smoking Aces was alright and The Nines was good I suggest you see those

[Doctor Jones]

If you don't think Reynolds is capable of serious, watch the last scene in Smokin' Aces.

[Blackman]

I see on IGN that they were talkinga bout a solo franchise for Hawkeye. I know its all talk, but I'm wondering does he have his own villians, love interests(other than Black Widow) and everything that would make him stand alone well?

[RaZaTrOn]

He has Mockingbird.

Their new series is meant to be pretty good so that could be something to look into story wise.

[Wolvieboy17]

To whoever it was that I argued with constantly about the 'reliability' of Jeremy Renner being in talks for Hawkeye, nyah nyah :P

Seriously though, this whole thing is my dream come true. Everything Marvel is doing, and leading up to Avengers and future Marvel movies, not only has me tingling with excitement as a Marvel fan, but has restored my faith in Hollywood that there are still people who genuinely love making the best possible films they can, rather than just relying on a franchise to sell. God Bless Marvel. EXCELSIOR!

[Spider-ManHero12]

BEtter quality. Just for the hell of it.

Damn, did Scarlett look good. The Spill guy shouted, "Whoa, that's right!" or something like that.

This sucks. There are bootlegs for Avengers but not Cap or Thor so far. Maybe it's because it's more of an announcement. Well, that one picture had everyone holding their phones up.

Wow! Like one of the comments said, RDJ is Tony Stark. He doesn't even have to act at all.

[SpiderByte]

It's great when an actor matches a character, better when an actor can like a character....but it's awesome when an actor is basically the character in real life as well as film.

Except maybe a tad shorter.

[JeetKuneDo]

Kevin Feige can officially suck my effing balls dude. Mark freaking Ruffalo. Dude looked like a sore thumb out there.

Kinda like how Bruce Banner would look standing next to Thor, Tony Stark, and Steve Rogers you mean? :woot:

[Docker2.0]

Yeah, Ruffalo will do fine. I'm hyped more than ever. But you know what I really hate? No matter how much you are hyped about the Avengers, someone always brings up TDK. Just freakin saying. That crap has nothing to do with Marvel or Avengers but the freakin Dark Knight always comes up.

[sabetoonth]

and if he does suck the people at Marvel are gonna hear it lol

ok im wathcing this footage as i post here, Reprising? Ruffalo aint played the character yet, so he isnt reprising as i recall MY defination of the word

Ha, this is true. A similar thing is happening on the GL boards with "Marvel owning WB!" Like someone said over there...this isn't a competition. It's for us fans to enjoy. It shouldn't be clouded with who or what is/will be better.

[misjuevos]

doesnt matter who plays banner, the hulk is still the hulk. i just hope the hulk is in the film more than banner. let ruffalo voice the hulk and if he returns for another hulk film let banner be in that.

more hulk, less banner for avengers.

It's not about me!! :argh:

Seriously, I was saying in another thread that I'm hyped for Marvel and hoping that DC gets it together because Flash could be huge but it seems like at every CC, DC always says "I can't talk about that right now".....that's it. You know what someone said? TDK. period. :dry: What the F does that have to do with anything? :huh:

[sabetoonth]

THat's my point! If Avengers is huge and JLA is done right, there's one other possible move that may not ever happen but it will be spoken upon a lot: who'd win, movie JLA or Avengers. Like I said, the movie would never happen but the talk alone would be great. I'm looking forward to GL, though it's further down in third place behind Cap and Thor for next year, DB/WB needs to get it together and I do feel bad about John's because he's a fan at heart and you know he's trying behind the scenes but what can he do when he has those jackarses at WB pulling the strings and not even allowing him to talk about things? :huh:

[Figs]

Marvel has the rights back and they're planning....something with him, apparently.

[misjuevos]

i can't believe lou ferigno is still huge, he is still in great shape and can probably play a cop instead of a security guard, or a shield agent maybe. yea now that i think of it a shield agent would be best.

I don't think you examined what RDJ said very closely. I was rolling my eyes a little that Inception is getting even more praise on a Marvel panel.

[xmfreak86]

Even though it was probably one of the most simplest teasers Ive seen in a long time... If they played that in theaters today I think it would be more than enough to get people excited for the movie. I mean the combination of SLJ's voice saying the classic quote and shadowy logo with the full reveal of the logo at the end... Classic! I got chills from just hearing "AVENGERS ASSEMBLE"... :-) Need to see again! MAY 4, 2012 can't come soon enough...

[Nightwing]

Surprisingly enough Ruffalo stands at 5'9, which according to some of Banner's bio's is his height in the comics. Not that height actually matters in the movie world (as we've become witness to) - but just wanted to throw that in there.

[Pac-Master]

Yes.

[SpiderByte]

They kind of HAVE to. They signed him on for the part of Hulk. Now, whenever Hulk is in the script, he has to do it.

Basically, Ferrigno is Hulk and Ruffalo is Banner. Two seperate characters.

As another poster mentioned his face is a little round, very healthy looking.

[Tony Stark]

Most Welsh people are nice, like Gruffudd. Bale need some serious anger manegement classes. Before the whole "we're f-ing done professionally" incident, there was a story just after TDK released about how he got brought up on domestic violence against his mom and sister.

Bale's mom and sister showed up and demanded he loan them $200,000 dollars. They filed assault charges after he refused, in addition to insulting his wife and other assorted misdeeds.

He might have anger issues but he was severely provoked during that particular incident.

I don't tend to judge celebrities, especially from what the tabloids say, but to me it's incredibly obvious that Bale has some issues.

Jeez, I thought everyone had moved past the stuff with Bale. He was definitely wrong for what he did, but on the other hand there was no context for the incident on the Terminator set. McG and the DP were probably wrong in that situation as well.

I dunno about you guys, but this has become increasingly more apparent over the last couple of months, especially after Joe Carnahan spilled the beans on one the angles being considered.

[Doctor Jones]

So I'm wondering if they're still keeping Loki in with that Hulk angle. I kind of doubt it now, since maybe they would have brought Hiddelston out. Whedon said he's outlining so there's that.

EDIT: Saw that article. Still a possibility I guess. Maybe they want to keep more secret. This must have just been for the heroes. Fine with me.

Even among his fans Joss Whedon Is bound to face critism over his attempts to build up mark Ruffalo up.This and Robert Downey JR trying to amke It sound like Ruffalo has been the only Banner In the Marvel Studios Universe films.This will cause more controvsary not less because it sounds like attacks on Edward Norton and his portrayal of Banner.

what was said

[Tony Stark]

People read way to much into this stuff. What is he going to say, "Well my first choice was Ed Norton, but he wanted too much money so luckily we landed Ruffalo."

He's going to talk up his actor. It's part of his job to be the PR machine for this movie. Ed is a big boy, and he understands the business end of this.

I agree with him that Ruffalo has a vulnerable quality that has not been seen since Bixby. Ed brought his own thing to the character, and I loved it, however what I loved best about Bixby was that you rooted for the hulk because you wanted to watch the scenes with him almost more than when you saw the Hulk.

Wow, are you guys serious? What was he supposed to say. "Damn, can't believe I'm stuck with Mark. Eff you Kevin Feige!"

:huh:

[Boom]

I think you are looking waaaay to much into this.

I've read nothing from Whedon to suggest he is attacking Norton.

Regarding Whedon saying "Ruffalo was his first and only choice for Banner" isn't out of place or a dig at Norton.

Norton's issues wouldn't have been a director/actor issue. From reports, his issues were him against Feige, possibly pay issues, possible screentime issues, but Whedon didn't have anything to do with it.

i agree with Whedon mark has that damaged man quality about him

[Doctor Jones]

When Norton wasn't going to do it, Ruffalo was Whedon's first and only choice. Simple as that.

RDJ saying "reprising his role as Bruce Banner..." was something that meant acceptance. That it is Mark Ruffalo, and we are moving on with him.

Hearing Whedon talk about that about Ruffalo is great. Ruffalo does have a great vulnerability about him and yet he can carry a role with weight and depth. Whedon has a great ear for individual characters but in an ensemble. Hopefully there is more to Banner than we think.

[marvelrobbins]

Yes but I guarante you on some boards a lot of antiWhedon remarks will be made because of this.And most damaging Is the remarks of ruffalo as best banner Since Bill Bixby.Many of those who wanted Edward Nortona s banner will see that as Insult.

I heard some rumblings not sure If they are true that Norton was more 616 Banner while Ruffalo will be more ultimate Banner.

[Gamma Goliath]

Ruffalo is playing the same character Norton played, I hope they don't write him differently.

[Doctor Jones]

Eh, now that they have the entire cast in place I doubt it will be hard for Whedon to write with them in mind. It's a difficult thing to decide. Write them as the character or as the actor. Whedon is the only director to have this. The cast is in form before the script has been written (assuming the Penn script isn't being used)

[Sawyer]

Seriously I am so pumped that Whedon's in on this. Him doing a full-on Superhero movie is something I've been yearning for since I started watching Buffy eight years ago. Astonishing X-Men was literally the last good X-Men comic I've read, do hopefully The Avengers is just as awesome.

actually this happens more often than not. On Jaws they were writing the movie every night and filming those scenes the next day

[Doctor Jones]

I think he can deliver. Serenity felt like an actual film and he can handle ensembles. That and his comic book passion and knowledge with the ability to tell great stories as a writer makes him the man for the job.

True yeah. But with such an ambitious film like this I don't think the actors have even seen the Penn script at the very least.

The thing that's amazing about going from Serenity to The Avengers is with Serenity, it was stunning to see that he could do so much with so little. With The Avengers... well, you can only imagine what he'll do with alot!

[Doctor Jones]

Yup, and I think Whedon will have it under control and know what to do story wise and logically. It's not just some fanboy's wet dream splattered on paper. This has to make sense logically for all these characters to come together. They can't just be thrown into the mix. Whedon has the knowledge but knows how to tell a story cinematically. Two great combinations.

I seriously hope we see the formation of the team. Because that's your character stuff right there. But I don't think I have to worry. Whedon saying he loves Abrams Star Trek as the staple of summer films is a great sign. I mean I wanted Abrams to direct this, but Whedon saying he loves that film and is directing this. I couldn't be happier with that.

[misjuevos]

only suit we need to see now is hawkeyes

[roach]

well it probably wont be faithful and he probably wont have a bow and arrow

[Alex Logan]

Regarding Whedon saying "Ruffalo was his first and only choice for Banner" isn't out of place or a dig at Norton.

Actually, it is out place, just like RDJ saying "and REPISING the role of Bruce Banner..."
