The Avengers: News and Speculation - Part 27A sub-section 12

[Thread Manager]

This is a continuation thread, the old thread is 282612

[Arkady Rossovich]

Iron Man is going to be released next year,Thor and Captain America are in the works.News about these films got me to think,are we closer to having an Avengers film?

How could it be done?What do you want to be in it?Which heros should be in it?The villains,the stories?I think there should be a thread for it...put any news about a proposed Avengers film here..

As for me,i think the film should have Captain America,Iron Man,The Wasp,Thor and The Incredible Hulk.The original members..as for villains..Baron Zemo and The Masters of Evil.

Let the discussion begin..

[Spidey-Quad]

Did you see The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen?

Sawyer was a wussy

Ever see lost?

They all were wussies

Ever watch a DC movie?

Well .....

[Spidey-Quad]

3rd ....

[Dr Lee]

wonder if there will be anything for Avengers with either Cap or Thor? if so it'll probably be just something similar in nature to the SDCC teaser... but still...

on and *Subscribes*

[Majik1387]

So many new threads....

[Sawyer]

What the **** is this?!

[Blackman]

Yeah whats up with the bunch of new threads

[Dr Lee]

isn't there a limit to how long a SHH thread can be for bandwidth sake.... or something similar? maybe the mods are just doing a clean up?

[LuisTX85]

I liked the other thread better!lol,Reading that Avengers interview with Helmsworth.....I believe even much more in Joss Whedon!!

[JAK®]

The thing is I bet the script is great and filled with big, comic-booky moments, but budget constraints will come into it and a lot of the script will be watered down.

I think a lot of people will expect a long battle between Thor and the Hulk and they will be disappointed when it turns out to be brief.

[Crimson King]

Wasn't it early to close the other thread? I thought it didn't get bogged down until 10k posts?

[Majik1387]

They've just changed it to 1K now.

[JP]

Resubscribed.

[Crimson King]

They've just changed it to 1K now.

Yikes. Really? I guess I can look forward to re-subscribing to twenty continuation threads per topic now.

[Chewy]

Yeah, 1k. I blame Anne Hatheway :cmad:

[WillardNation]

*resubscribes*

[Spider-ManHero12]

Thor + Hulk colliding = AWESOME.

[Dark Raven]

Most of these new threads don't make sense anymore. What's with all the old posts from what seems like ages ago which have been since superseded with other news. It seems like a bunch of posts were just cloned (and appear as if they were posted today) but it's clear that they don't seem to relate at all to anything current. All these posts seem pre-filming (especially in Spider-Man) as if the posters were completely oblivious to anything that has happened recently.

[BigThor]

I wouldn't be suprised, I'll be satifisfied as long as they're on an even playing field in terms of strength/power.

I doubt budget will be a problem since the budget for this movie is gonna be upwards of 200 million, especially if Cap & Thor are even midly successful (most likely they will be).

[Doctor Jones]

Part 1??

Lamest extention to a thread title ever. Sorry, but why Part 1?

[Sawyer]

Part 1??

Lamest extention to a thread title ever. Sorry, but why Part 1?

Because they'll be closing these down and starting a new one every 1,000 posts... meaning we'll be up to, like, part 18 by the time the movie actually premieres.

[Sebastos]

Man oh man, resubscribed, going to be doing alot of that. :o

[BizarroAids]

Nice Hemsworth interview. :up: Can't wait to see Thor smack the **** out of Hulk with Mjolnir.

[Rocker22]

New thread post.

[Figs]

Nice Hemsworth interview. :up: Can't wait to see Thor smack the **** out of Hulk with Mjolnir.

Same here!

[Doctor Jones]

I think it'll be more like Part 30... but still... how boring are those?

[Sawyer]

Yeah, I dont like this new system either. :o

If they want to stop lag, get rid of all the noobs on the Batboards complaining about Anne Hathaway and leave our threads alone. :cmad:

[BigThor]

Nice Hemsworth interview. :up: Can't wait to see Thor smack the **** out of Hulk with Mjolnir.

I wish, going by Marvel's animated track record Thor is most likely gonna be the one who's gettin smacked

Sad, but very true (sigh) :(

[Sgt.Pepper]

I hope that The Avengers is really epic in scale/scope. I'm very excited to see the brawl between Thor and Hulk.

[BigThor]

I hope that The Avengers is really epic in scale/scope. I'm very excited to see the brawl between Thor and Hulk.

I'm excited for the Avengers and I'm sure it's gonna blow people away, but I'm not really excited for a fight between Thor and Hulk.

Marvels track record for those two fighting equals one thing...Hulk pummeling Thor (Hulk Vs. & Ultimate Avengers)

smh

[Sgt.Pepper]

Yeah I know what you mean. I hate that Thor was Hulk's punching bag in Hulk vs.

But I'm keeping my hope high for a equal fight in the movie.

[BigThor]

Yeah I know what you mean. I hate that Thor was Hulk's punching bag in Hulk vs.

But I'm keeping my hope high for a equal fight in the movie.

I want to have high hopes for an equal fight but I don't think Marvel plans on switching up anytime soon.

:( :( :(

[echostation]

Yeah I mean Thor is gonna get owned sadly, which is stupid, he's a God, he should be beating down Hulk after a really really really hard and tough fight.

The scope of the film Hemsworthy said was really really big but then why all these budget cuts and the presumed budget of 130 million bucks? That's a pittance for a movie this scale in supposed Nepali standards...

[WillardNation]

Man oh man, resubscribed, going to be doing alot of that. :o

Right? 1000 posts isn't that many. We're going to be resubscribing to everything every 2 days.

[WildcatNC]

Yeah, 1k. I blame Anne Hatheway :cmad:

:funny:


There CANNOT be an Avengers movie without a good Hulk/Thor fight. Whedon knows this.

I have the same concerns about Thor being underpowered as everyone else. I would do something like this:


The rest of the Avengers are fighting with Hulk and not getting anywhere really. As someone gets up from a hard shot their like, "Where the hell is Thor?" Suddenly the sky gets darker and clouds gather, the wind picks up and Thor descends from high with blasts of lightning presceeding him. Hulk stops to watch the show so the other combatants do the same (getting a much needed break). Right before Thor lands a giant bolt of lightening blasts Hulk on his arse. Thor lands and grins slyly as Hulk gets up, angry as hell. Hulk launches his fist at him but Thor catches it, grimacing with great effort, with his own hand. A brief flash of disbelief comes across Hulks face as Mjolnir smashes into him from Thors free hand, knocking Hulk many yards through the air. Stark says, "holy s**t" as the other Avengers look at each other in amazement. Thor turns to greet them and Hulk leaps into him at full speed and they both fly into a nearby building. The other Avengers then re-join the fray.

I'd like to see it go something like that personally. They are pretty evenly matched but it takes Hulk a few lumps to realize it and an awesome entrance to boot.

:awesome:

That would be pretty awesome!

[Bren]

I think the biggest victory for Whedon would be to show somehow why absolutely everyone is needed. Everyone must have a place.

Of course, as we are all afraid of, they'll probably weaken Thor to 'fit in' with the others. Ugh.

[Chewy]

Renner and Ruffalo nominated for Oscars

[ultimatefan]

Congratulations, Renner and Ruffalo! That should help ease the anger towards the Norton replacement.

[Doctor Jones]

I guess we can't call Ruffalo an underrated actor anymore then?

[BigThor]

Yeah, but Thor is the "powerhouse", Iron Man is the "tech guy", and Cpt. America is the "strategist".

So everyone being needed does not have to directly transfer to "battling Hulk", since Cap & Iron Man's expertise are in other places (even though they're both pretty tough).

[Blackman]

I suppose good actor. Didnt deserve nod though

I never had a problem with him as Banner. Still don't. I just hope that it does help ease things a little

This would sure as hell satisfy me, Thor and Hulk should got at it just bit longer tho...lol

[Spider-Vader]

I think Whedon knows of the big Hulk vs Thor fan debate & will try to make them equal on the big screen. Unless, he particularly likes one of the two. It WOULD be nice to see Thor kick Hulk's ass for once.

[The Mast]

My concern is time.

If this movie is any shorter than 2 and a half hours, I'm going to be very worried.

[Rock Sexton]

Better hope Branaugh shows Thor to be that kind of powerful though. Hard to put everything together from just the Comic Con footage and teaser trailer, but so far I'm not so sure he's going to be.

[bored]

He may not always get the chance in his movie. Maybe against the frost giants.

[Silvermoth]

Might just subscribe to this.

[BigThor]

Thor is going to fight The Destroyer in this movie, and that doesn't sound powerful enough to you? The Destroyer >>>>>> Abomination

The hammer slam at the end of the trailer alone was FAR more powerful than anything Hulk did in TIH.

[Spider-Vader]

Better hope Branaugh shows Thor to be that kind of powerful though. Hard to put everything together from just the Comic Con footage and teaser trailer, but so far I'm not so sure he's going to be.

Well, the two trailers' action scenes mainly seem to be when Thor is depowered. So we have no clue yet, hopefully the final fight will show Thor being the powerhouse we all know he is.

[BizarroAids]

The one thing Whedon knows, is what fans want to see. He's into what we want to see, and I'm sure that's on his list. But I agree, Thor better hand Hulk his ass. :woot:

[BigThor]

Yeah, he deserves to win after the senseless beatdowns Hulk has given him in Marvel's animated movies.

[BizarroAids]

Yeah, he deserves to win after the senseless beatdowns Hulk has given him in Marvel's animated movies.

Hey now, those were good movies!!:csad: Thor is my favorite of the two.

But with Loki controlling the Hulk, it would be cool to have the scene where Loki tells Thor during the battle, that he was the one behind it.

I always thought would translate well to the movie.

Yeah, overall they were good movies but I don't like how Thor was beat to a pulp.

[herolee10]

Really, the only scenario that I would prefer to see the avengers getting into a scuffle with Hulk is because Banner is losing control over the Hulk or if a miscommunication took place, and NOT because Hulk being their obstacle was THE OBSTACLE for the film.

Speaking of which, does anyone know on who's supposed to be more intelligent/smarter between Bruce Banner and Tony Stark?

[BizarroAids]

Yeah, overall they were good movies but I don't like how Thor was beat to a pulp.

Had it just been Thor stomping Hulk the whole time, or them both just getting even blows, it would've been kinda boring. It makes it more exciting if Thor gets beat up for a while, then makes a dramatic comeback.

[Rock Sexton]

The hammer slam at the end of the trailer alone was FAR more powerful than anything Hulk did in TIH.

Well we don't know how that fight turns out quite yet and in what fashion he wins it. I'm just saying that they're going to have to portray his power accurately in order to convey Thor as being a viable adversary to The Hulk. I'm not talking about his hammer either. Visually it's going to be interesting to show how Thor could battle such a huge, angry beast. In the comics it's just accepted on it's face as comic fans immediately buy into all the power ratings, etc. etc. .... IMO the general audience will work a little differently.

The irony is the more powerful he is portrayed, the more lopsided the group looks so that's an issue Whedon has to sort out.

[BigThor]

But Thor came back only to get beaten up yet again, did you watch Superman Doomsday? Superman traded blows with Doomsday and they made the movie far more entertaing that some getting stomped for an entire fight.

We already know from the "spoilers" released a while back that Thor defeats The Destroyer with a hammer strike to the head.

Anyways, no matter how the victory comes about the mere fact that he's going to battle the 9ft tall Destroyer means that he's powerful enough to fight TIH Hulk.

Yea, that final scene in the trailer made me optimistic that they aren't gimping his power level.

[BigThor]

Agreed, hopefully Thor has quite a bit more of those powerhouse moments in the film :woot:.

[Still A ThorFan]

I'd love to see Thor take out Hulk easily, which if this was reality he could, but I agree it would be more fun if we can watch them beat the hell out of each other for a good 7 minutes with Thor being the clear victor or at least a tie.

[Crimson King]

I'd like to see this fight take place in the first half of the movie. Maybe the Avengers would send Thor after Hulk while the rest of them went off to deal with Loki. Kind of a way to keep Hulk busy while they try to break the mind control. Hulk and Thor would go toe-to-toe for a while with neither of them giving an inch. The fight is only broken up in the end because the Avengers break the mind control. That'd be one way to keep the fight a tie while still giving each of them an opportunity to show their strength.

It's kind of impossible to tell in Marvel anymore. It used to be that everyone (except for Reed Richards) got to have their own little areas of expertise. Banner was one of the preeminent physicists, for instance, and Tony Stark was this visionary engineer. Now everybody is sort of a jack-of-all-trades.

[WildcatNC]

Agreed, hopefully Thor has quite a bit more of those powerhouse moments in the film :woot:.

Someone said in an interview (I think Brannagh) that the final trailer scene wasn't even the biggest power display in the movie, so that says we will see bigger ones.

[WillardNation]

I'm loving the names for all these new threads.

That would be absolutely EPIC, do you think you can find that interview so I can see it?

As a fellow Thor fan, I would love to see them go toe to toe with Thor being the clear victor. Even if they manage to tie, I would still be more than statisfied at the simple fact of Thor not getting pummeled for a change :).

[Pumpkin_Bomb]

Speaking of which, does anyone know on who's supposed to be more intelligent/smarter between Bruce Banner and Tony Stark?

They're in different fields, so it's sort of an 'apples and oranges' situation. Banner is considered the top guy in terms of gamma radiation, while Stark is more of a techy, inventor type.

[Bren]

The irony is the more powerful he is portrayed, the more lopsided the group looks so that's an issue Whedon has to sort out.

Indeed, I mentioned that they may 'weaken' Thor to fit in with his colleagues. Not so much the same level, just not so stratospherically greater in power (like he should be :woot: ).

Also, I'm thinking that at some point, if Thor is ridiculously powerful in destroying the bridge and taking out The Destroyer with the hammer, they may simply attribute that to the Hammer itself, and they can use this as a reason why he's now weaker for Avengers. Something like losing some of his power by going back to Midgard, or rebuilding the bridge etc).

Of course, that's IF they depower him, which they probably will do.

My inner Thor fan wishes he would lay Hulk out with a single, ridiculously arrogant punch, complete with godly smirk and raised eyebrow.

But we all know that won't happen...

[WildcatNC]

That would be PERFECT!!! Great job :awesome:

If I can find it again. I was watching every cast interview on youtube one night and caught it then. Cant remember where it was from right off hand.

There are many good tidbits in those interviews if you watch them though, like the fact that Tom Hiddleston learned some Capoeira for his fighting style in the film and other things.

[Bren]

like the fact that Tom Hiddleston learned some Capoeira for his fighting style in the film and other things.

Damn that's pretty cool... After seeing photo's of him as Loki, I've seen him as sinister, not physically intimidating - very cool news!

You know, how does everyone think the Thor/Loki fight will go down? Is it going to blow the budget with Thor bashing through walls grown by Loki, dodging boulders magically thrown etc (which will probably blow the budget).

Or is it going to be a more straight-up fight. And if so, how is that possible? Where would Loki get the boost in strength from? Or does Thor lose some power somehow etc?

I'm more for the brute force vs crazy magic, but doubt we'll get that...

I really don't think it will need to be explained, I don't see what's the problem with Thor being powerful. I mean, it's not like he's going to be crushing planets or anything.

Saying his power comes from the hammer would be like a slap in the face.

From the little bit of footage we've seen, it seems like there's going to be a lot of close combat with Loki wielding a spear & Thor wielding his hammer.

Now I would love to see lightning blast and magical energy attacks used during the Thor/Loki fight, I could also see Thor picking up a huge boulder and throwing it at Loki.

[CaptainStacy]

I think a LOT of Thor fans are going to be disappointed next year. :word: :bh: :up:

[JAK®]

I'm going to call it now; the Thor/Hulk fight, in the finished film, will consist of Thor charging at the Hulk, getting in a couple of good shots with the hammer, then being grabbed by the Hulk and thrown away.

Saying his power comes from the hammer would be like a slap in the face.

No problem from me with him being powerful, I just think there might be a couple issues, coming from my assumption that Thor will not be THAT powerful in the Avengers;
1. He's either not at all massively powerful in his film, so he is consistent film-to-film, or
2. He IS massively powerful in his film, and that means a consistency issue moving to the Avengers film. That, I think, would need to be explained somehow.

Again, this is based on my feeling that they will tone him down for the Avengers. Of course, I'd just prefer him to be amazingly powerful in both, but I don't think it'll happen. Of course, I'm hoping I'm wrong :woot:

I agree, saying he gets his power from the hammer would be a slap in the face; just wondering how they might (try) explain a drop in power. Don't forget Silver Surfer. But that was Fox and director stuffing up, hope it doesn't happen here.

Yeah, Fox really pissed on alot of Surfer fans in FF Rise of the Silver Sufer by him being dependent on his board.

It pretty much seems like they're doing the same with Thor, I won't be suprised since he's gotten pissed on in almost all of Marvel's media :(

I'm going to call it now; the Thor/Hulk fight, in the finished film, will consist of Thor charging at the Hulk, getting in a couple of good shots with the hammer, then being grabbed by the Hulk and thrown away.

No matter how much I would hate this, I believe it's actually going to be something like this (shrugs shoulders). I'm really starting not to care anymore at this point.

[Crimson King]

Reading the Thor spoilers today, it's pretty safe to assume that Thor is definitely NOT underpowered in the movie.

come on BT, dont let all the speculation get you down. we wont know until we hear a bit more. i really hope we get more than that from a Hulk and Thor fight. i was expecting something like the scene in the Ultimates where Thor smacks him like 5 or 6 times in the head before the Hulk goes down. either way i see Thor coming out on top. hell lets just hope we get the scene at all.

Thanks Tikkie, it's just that it doesn't look too promising especially with Marvel's past depictions of Thor in animation. It just doesn't seem like they're gonna give him proper respect anytime soon.

Really, what makes you say that?.

There's a scene where Volstagg picks up a car with one hand.

[BigThor]

There's a scene where Volstagg picks up a car with one hand.

Yeah but that doesn't exactly mean that Thor will do anything using super-strength without his hammer.

[Rock Sexton]

There's a scene where Volstagg picks up a car with one hand.

So, I'm guessing that's where the car comes from that flies at the Destroyer in the official trailer. :cwink:

[BigThor]

Nahhh, I believe that's from a tornado that Thor created, if you watch the trailer again you will see powerful winds in the background.

[Rock Sexton]

Not really. @ 1:58 you get your clip of the tornado and then the Destroyer walking through all the clouds/dirt ..... then you see Thor carrying off the child followed by a clip @ 2:00 of the Destroyer's fire blast and then a clip where he punches away a car that's coming at him.

Ok look, just pay attention to the background when the Destroyer knocks the car away, you'll see alot of destructive winds blowing in the background.

[Crimson King]

Yeah but that doesn't exactly mean that Thor will do anything using super-strength without his hammer.

You don't think so? You really think they'll have Volstagg have the only show of super strength? I'm not so sure.

[Bren]

Must say, I'm very excited to hear of Volstagg picking up a car like that - Gives me a lot more hope for Thor's power levels - There's very little chance that Thor will be shown in full armour 'godly' form, physically weaker than other Asgardians.

[BigThor]

You don't think so? You really think they'll have Volstagg have the only show of super strength? I'm not so sure.

It's not that I don't think will, it's just that even though Thor's stronger they still might not have Thor using super strength with Mjolnir.

I really hope that it does means Thor will be shown using super strength, it just seems odd Chewy didn't mention Thor lifting anything huge.

[WildcatNC]

Damn that's pretty cool... After seeing photo's of him as Loki, I've seen him as sinister, not physically intimidating - very cool news!

You know, how does everyone think the Thor/Loki fight will go down? Is it going to blow the budget with Thor bashing through walls grown by Loki, dodging boulders magically thrown etc (which will probably blow the budget).

Or is it going to be a more straight-up fight. And if so, how is that possible? Where would Loki get the boost in strength from? Or does Thor lose some power somehow etc?

I'm more for the brute force vs crazy magic, but doubt we'll get that...


It will be more of a straight up fight from what iv'e seen.

Remember that the "spear" that Loki has is Gungnir, a weapon even more powerful than Mjolnir. He also has the power of Odin as the ruler of Asgard.

Thor is at a disadvantage if anything. His combat experience closes the gap i'm sure.


Hiddleston stated that while he seen Thor as more of a rock, rooted in strength, he saw Loki as fighting more like the wind. We know Hemsworth took much of his style from Tyson and boxing because of Mjolnir. I think we may see Loki use some illusion and magic here and there, worked into his fighting style. I hope so anyway.

[Rock Sexton]

Ok look, just pay attention to the background when the Destroyer knocks the car away, you'll see alot of destructive winds blowing in the background.

So the tornado follows him into the town?

When he drops down thru that tornado it's outside of the town limits.

[Chewy]

The Thor trailer contains many portions from different scenes spliced together to appear as though they are from the scene.

No, see here's the scene just look at what's happenening to the environment. It's obviously Thor creating a tornadow while battling the Destroyer.

I've watched it a billion times. In the "official" trailer you see this giant tornado flash down in the distance as people are walking about the town ..... That's the Destroyer arriving. You can even hear the thud when he lands. The shot of him punching down the car is a separate scene. If it's Thor moving the car, it's definitely not by Tornado. He's not gonna rip one thru the heart of the town.

You got some serious free time!!! :oldrazz: :cwink:

[Spider-Vader]

I'm going to call it now; the Thor/Hulk fight, in the finished film, will consist of Thor charging at the Hulk, getting in a couple of good shots with the hammer, then being grabbed by the Hulk and thrown away.
The sad thing is you're probably right. :csad:

[WildcatNC]

C'monnnnnnnn, are you telling me that you don't see all that wind in the background of that Destroyer picture posted?????


I don't think its Thor creating a tornado but he might be causing the wind you see because he is angry. That would be kind of cool.

No way to really know either way yet though.

[Vartha]

Yes, that's EXACTLY what that is it won't be the only time you see that tornado either.

There's wind YES but the tornado scene isn't connected to that Destroyer scene in that matter.

Regarding Hulk vs Thor, I am sure during production meetings they have and still talk about how they are going to make both fans happy. I would hope so.

I hope you're right, but based on that logic, they would have done that with The Ultimate Avengers dvd, and with Hulk vs. In both cases, they made it clear that Thor was no match for The Hulk. Wolverine gave a better showing against The Hulk than Thor did.

True, but they're gonna want to please a many people as possible with The Avengers film, in "live action" projects Marvel is more careful with trying not to step on anyones toes.

[BigThor]

@WildCat & Vartha - You guys have a good point, I should've been more clear by saying that Thor creating those strong winds is what's responsible for that car hitting the Destroyer.

I guess when I think of Thor & strong winds the word "tornado" comes to mind (lol).

[Vartha]

heh Well, it's not Thor's boasting that causes those tornados if that's what you mean lol

I guess this question is directed to those few that were fortunate enough to have read the script.
It seems that all the spoilers so far haven’t even hinted of Thor showing any feats of physical strength (without the hammer).
Without giving anything away spoiler-wise, (a simple yes or no will do), will there be any examples of Thor doing something similar to what Volstagg did?
I’m so worried that they are going to make him soooo hammer dependent.
May 6th can't come soon enough!!

Yeah, I don't think he's gonna do anything super strong without the hammer, it's quite wierd that Volstagg lifts something and Thor doesn't.

He's most likely hammer-dependant in the movie which is going to cause more people to believe he's not sh** without his hammer.

Reading your posts, you and I think a lot alike on Thor. What bothers me the most is that Thor has superhuman strength that is NOT dependant upon Mjolnir. As an Asgardian alone he has superhuman strength which is even greater than the average due to his parentage.

My greatest fear is that we are going to see an amazing Thor film that will (hopefully) capture the elements that are Thor (with hopefully superhuman strength), and then when the Avengers film comes out, Thor will be made to job to The Hulk in an effort to illustrate The Hulk's strength. When, in actuality, Thor can punch Hulk pretty hard without the hammer as evidenced throughout their meetings.

Ddayyuumm...
I been tracking the female sidekick role in Avengers for months...
Its not The Wasp...
They are going to cast an unknown...no name actress
All of her scenes are only with Sam Jackson
Which leads me to believe the female sidekick is one of shields administrative characters
They were looking at Asian and white girls. Sam Jackson DID NOT want an african american sidekick
There is an unknown actress who had callbacks that Joss liked.
Calm down folks, it aint gonna be action heroine type role. The breakdown said administrative.
****ing Sam Jackson man blew my cover. Mad depressed.
Biggest regret of 2011 so far is not doing my speculative Will Sam Jackson get a sidekick piece. ****. ****. ****.
Jackson was adamant about not having an African American sidekick. Funny IMO because sistas make awesome sidekicks!

That guy bothers me. Isn't he the one trumpeting steroid use for all actors cast as superheroes? I read the "prescription" suggestion he gave to Hugh Jackman. Awful. I know we're not talking about professional sports so it's not like they're cheating anything, but for him to claim that so much steroid use doesn't affect a person's health seems disingenuous.

[Chewy]

Morena Baccarin, Jessica Lucas, Cobie Smulders and Mary Elizabeth Winstead

So, probably Maria Hill.

[marvelrobbins]

Maybe marvel will let Joss whedon cast one of his actresses as original Shield character
who IS assistant to fury who If he wants to kill off a character can fill that role.If asian
maybe Dichen lachman.Maybe Morena Baccarin If ABC doesn't bring back V.With the Cape over maybe even Summer Glau.I remain hopefully that someone he has worked with promently can show up at least In small part.

[RealIrOnMaN]

Maria Hill, that's for sure.

[SuperSAINT]

SO happy to see Morena Baccarin on the list.

Fantastic stuff.

Please let marvel Joss cast Morena.If they do that I will never critize Marvel
again:woot:

Morena would be great.If not her My suspecion Is Joss would go for Cobie
Smulders.There were rumors both of them Joss had as contenders for Wonder
Woman when he was attached although officially the line Is noone was
considered when he was attached.

Morena Is not just beautiful but can act.Compare her In Firefly/Serenity to

Firstly, he said that today, he will be screen testing with a number of actresses up for the role of his “female sidekick”. We’ve known a long time now that there’s another role for a woman to be cast – the one that Demi Lovato couldn’t have, if you recall – but we didn’t know anything about what role this would be. Jackson thinks there are about five actresses trying out.

Sadly I have no idea who Maria Hill is, but I'd love to see Morena Baccarin in the film.

[Chewy]

If it's Maria Hill, Morena Baccarin is probably the closest match appearance-wise of the four

http://media.comicvine.com/uploads/0/77/85971-192811-maria-hill.jpg

Also, if it's Maria Hill, I sort of really hope it's not MEW. I just don't see her fitting in the role.

[Blackman]

I still wonder if SHaron Carter is going to be in this

also I like the choices for the sidekick role

[WillardNation]

Morena Baccarin DOES look the part to a T.

[Doctor Jones]

But Baccarin frightens me with that short hair. Those damn close ups of those V commercials stick in my mind like gum in such a frightening way.

[Sawyer]

I've grown accustomed to it. She's not just hot anymore. She's scary hot.

[Silvermoth]

I wonder if it'll be an "insert skrull here" sort of role.

[peterparker0077]

If it's Colbie, she's be a great Sharon Carter.

[SuperSAINT]

Agree with Chewy re: MEW. Was surprised to see her on the list, to be honest. Very cute, but if they're aiming for Maria Hill, I can't see MEW doing 'authoritative'.

I think Sharon Carter would be saved for Cap#2.

[Spideyfan93]

Jessica Lucas and MEW...more yummy than an ice cream sundae. Lick lick lickity split! ;)

[spideyboy_1111]

Baccarin would make a great maria hill and wasp imo... she can really go either way..

however while i'd love baccarin in either role, smulders i think would make a really cute janet

[Chewy]

I think Smulders would make a good Hill, too.

[S.A.A.D.]

Boo,no MEW.

[spideyboy_1111]

yeah, MEW would suck in both roles

[marvelrobbins]

Morena Is the best.Yes I too prefer her with longer hair as she was In Firefly/Serenity.But I have warmed up to short hair.She Is smoking hot on V.Sometimes
It Is hard for me to decide who Is sexier In episodes her or Laura Vandervoort.But Morena usually wins.Morena can be coldly professional and sexy.This Is why I hope marvel lets Joss cast her.Plus she Is the most believe of the actreses as Nick Fury's right hand.

[Stringer]

Definitely Baccarin. She can play either Maria or Wasp no problem.

[Spideyfan93]

You guys defying MEW...I'm disappointed.

[Sawyer]

Seriously, can we have a day go by without someone bringing up MEW? Is it that impossible?

[spideyboy_1111]

[WillardNation]

I still Stana Katic would be great also.

[hugekent]

I love how everyone says Baccarin looks the most like Wasp. If we were as familiar with some of these other women having short hair no one would be thinking it. Baccarin looks more elegant and Amazonian than I've ever imagined Wasp.

As for Maria Hill, well that would be OK. She's never impressed me as an actress though.

The only time I've ever been slightly turned off by Morena is after seeing a pic of her at Comic Con with blonde hair.

I really hope that: 1) They cast Baccarin; 2) It's the Wasp role.

Baccarin is going to get it for one word :SYNERGY

Disney owns Marvel Studios and most of the decisions of the Paramount distributed films were made before they came aboard. Avengers is Disney's baby why do you think there were rumors that Demi Lovato was going to be in Avengers (trust me I believe it was going to happen).

I'm not against Disney putting their stars in small roles in Marvel films just not overkill (no Raven Symone, Miley Cyrus, Zack & Cody, High School Musical reg, or any of those crappy Disney XD kids)

I better shut up they could be the cast of The Runaways.

[PyroChamber]

How about Baccarin for Maria Hill and MEW for Wasp?

[Majik1387]

Baccarin as Hill I can deal with, but no to her or MEW as Wasp. Besides, it's been updated that MEW isn't even testing for the Avengers.

[Chewy]

Why would Wasp be Fury's sidekick? Can anyone explain the thinking behind it being Wasp?

I'm sorry, but anyone who actually believes Demi Levato or any of the rest of the Disney channel stars have or had any chance of being in avengers is a crackpot and doesn't know the company very well.

Why would Wasp be Fury's sidekick? Can anyone explain the thinking behind it being Wasp?

Kinda hoping they're just doing it for the sake of introducing the character.

I just don't want a loose character, a plain side-kick, in a movie with all those characters already.

And it is an opportunity to have another female in the group. Too many men.

Thor & Cap's posters look great and they're just teasers, I just hope Thor's final poster has alot of lightning in it.

It's probably wishful thinking. Though i guess she could be another SHIELD agent like Widow, or maybe a scientist working for them like in the Ultimates.

If it's an already existing character though my money is on Maria Hill.

Agreed

So, what do you guys think of Cap's teaser poster?

I like Cap's Teaser Poster a lot!

I like Cap's Teaser Poster a lot!

It's great, I like how all that dirt is surrounding him it gives it a real "gritty" feel.

Thor will avenge Iron Man?

[Dark Raven]

If Baccarin is cast, I prefer her for Maria Hill. I don't think she is perfect for Wasp. I think Autumn Reeser would be perfect for that role. People who think Baccarin is the living embodiment of the Wasp seem to have only read the Avengers comics in the last 10 years or so where she has very short hair and the black and yellow costume. Autumn Reeser is pure classic Wasp, and is just like the A:EMH Wasp in terms of personality and cuteness.

[Spider-Vader]

Wasp without Hank? Does not compute.

Morena Baccarin for Maria Hill, no one else.

If they cast any of the other actresses, fine, but they better be nameless, made up, or someone completely new, otherwise it's going to be F'n stupid to call them Maria Hill when they had the opportunity to cast the spitting image of that character, who already walks around with the same hair do and didn't do it.

Deadline (Finke): I'm hearing that How I Met Your Mother star Cobie Smulders has emerged as the front runner for the role of SHIELD Agent Maria Hill in the Joss Whedon-directed The Avengers

[Doctor Jones]

Hooray! Now no more of that Lois Lane suggestion crap.

Not my first choice, but she'd be good.

[Chewy]

Cobie Smulders :hrt:

WOnder what she'll look like with short hair

[Blackman]

I love Smulders but I hope she doesnt have short hair

[Whiskey Tango]

She was cute as hell in The Slammin' Salmon. I'd definitely prefer her over Baccarin.

I hate that picture though. She looks like a villainess from a cheesy 80's movie. here:

It's Maria Hill, she's gotta have short hair

[Dark Raven]

Samuel L Jackson as the comic book image of Nick Fury, but not Morena Baccarin as the comic book image of Maria Hill?

[Blackman]

It's Maria Hill, she's gotta have short hair

not really

Characters dont have to have the exact same hair as comic counterparts

[Chewy]

It's the one visual trait that separates her from other similar characters and makes her distinct.

EW has confirmed it as well.


EW has confirmed that How I Met Your Mother‘s Cobie Smulders is the frontrunner to appear in the film… as S.H.I.E.L.D.’s Maria Hill.

[Doomed_hero]

would be funny if Joss some how got nick fillion to play ant-man and Bucca to play Wasp. Just continue there flirting from Firefly.

[Stringer]

I would prefer Baccarin, mostly because I find her more attractive and more in line with Maria's looks, but I like Cobie as well.

[JP]

Eh, don't hate it.. don't love it.

[JAK®]

I remember when Joe Mangianello was confirmed as a frontrunner for Superman.

[marvelrobbins]

I Prefer Morena baccarin.She would be better In everyway.Well If true one thing for sure.
Scarlett Johansson won't have to worry about the other women upstaging her.Morena
could have done that.Cobie Smolders less so.

[Iron_Stark]

Boo! :down

By Deadline?

[marvelrobbins]

Deadline has got track record.I think we can bet on the bank Loki Is defently In The
Avengers(although he may not be the only villian) and that Cobie Smolders will play Maria Hill.I am not excited by that casting at all.I was very excited to hear of Morena Baccarin under consideration.While Cobie Smolders Isn't a shock since Joss Whedon eyed
her to be Wonder Woman when he was attached.And apparently really wants to work with her.I have never been Impressed by her.

[Sawyer]

Goddammit, Smulders is Lois Lane! Why am I the only one who sees this?! :cmad:

[JP]

You're the only one with bad vision.

Et tu, JP? :nono:

That's fine for a side-kick, indeed.

i kinda gotta agree... while colbie i think can play the part... there's just something more physical in Baccarin's looks that I can see her being more militaristic.

Also with the rumors of a possible Civil War story down the road, Maria's really gotta kick some ass and be commanding too

YES!! Love Cobie on HIMYM. She'll make a fantastic Maria Hill.

I'm still holding out hope like some that Morena will find her way into the cast as a possible Janet/Wasp.
