I find it difficult to believe that Marvel can have all of these films completed by 2011. I also maintain that Ant-Man will be a mistake.

I agree with you that making an Ant-Man movie will be a big mistake. But who knows, if it had the same low production values as Daredevil, Electra, or Punisher, then it could work.

[Aztec]

I have a feeling that Janet, aka Wasp, will appear in Ant-Man but not as Wasp. I think at the end of the Avengers movie she will don the costume and enter action.

[shadowdog]

I would think that the first Avengers movie would feature....
Captain America
Ironman
Thor
Hulk
Hank Pym
Wasp
and maybe Vision
with Nick Fury and Black Widow as the SHIELD liasons
basically the roster from the Ultimate Avengers animated films would work

[FaT_tONle]

Vision shouldn't be in it unless they go with Ultron. I am not a fan of Ultron in the first movie since Ant-Man isn't getting his own movie before hand. I mean it's a good villain to introduce Pym. I'd personally use Ultron/Vision for the second or third installment. I also know a lot of people want Black Widow or Hawkeye... though I think six heroes is more than enough. Ideally I'd like to see a Black Widow/Hawkeye (two in one) movie before they become part of the Avengers. Same with Black Panther. I don't think Ant-Man needs his own movie since I don't think the GA will reposnd to a character like that. I just think it's better introducing characters in their own movies first rather than introducing them in Avengers first. Even if they made spinoffs after that it would sort of cheapen things down a bit. It makes sense from a financial standpoint (like what Fox is doing) but ideally I'd give these character their own movie beforehand. Plus it's a good way to build up star power again being that it's unlikely we'd get sequels featuring the same cast/characters over and over again.

I think as well Ultron shouldn't appear until the second movie, but save characters like Black Widow and Hawkeye until then as well (I have a feeling for example Hulk will only be in the first one). And don't get too upset, but for a third installment, to avoid redundancy I like the idea of a Civil War movie. I did not like the execution in the comics and while I like Millar as a writer it was poorly written and all of Quesada's publicity stunts (breaking up the FF, making Peter idiotically unmask himself on network television, etc.) ruined it. But toss the story and start from scratch, because the concept is too good to ignore.

[FaT_tONle]

I think Civil War is just too many characters. I don't think it could work in a film. I really can't decide who'd make a kickass villain for a sequel other than Ultron. Ultron is a character that people can buy being that he is of the Terminator type villain. Another guy is Kang but he is too overthetop and I don't think people would respond to favorably to a villain like that. The movie version would require a massive overhaul of the character. Not a fan of Kree-Skrulls either. Maybe a different lineup of the Masters of Evil could work. We just have to see who the villains are in the first movie. I don't think a full blown Masters of Evil/Ultron/Kang would work for the first film. To me... the first film should pretty much be about the formation of the Avengers and it should feature a universal villain that is realistic.

[DACrowe]

You could trim Civil War down. I like the concept, you don't have to use the comics as the storyline though, because the execution there was awful.

[BrlntDsgse]

For the first movie I'd go with Cap, Iron Man, Thor, Giant-Man and the Wasp as the main team, with Hulk as an antagonist early in the film only to be unleashed to help defeat the real enemy later on. And feature Black Widow as a SHIELD agent & Hawkeye as sort of a freelance agent, the kind of guy Fury himself calls on when he needs someone outside of the SHIELD hierarchy proper.

For sequels bring in Scarlet Witch, Quicksilver, and the Vision at least. In a more perfect world we'd hopefully also eventually get Wonder-Man, Black Panther, Ms. Marvel, She-Hulk, The Falcon, Hercules, Black Knight, Photon and maybe even some of the New Avengers.

[Angamb]

I think they shouldn't release Captain America and The avengers in the same year.

I think The Avengers will have more impact if is released one year later, and if is the unique MArvel movie in that year, because the expectation will be bigger.

I'm starting to get excited with this movie, after seeing TI Hulk yesterday.

[batnkevlar]

I'd love for Black Widow, Hawkeye, Quicksilver, and Scarlet Witch (to tie in X-Men) to be in the sequel...

[Angamb]

I have a doubt, Thor still has the same director?

[Terror Inc.]

Captain America
Iron Man
Thor
Ant-Man
Wasp
the Hulk

Why try and change the already great line-up the original Avengers was? And please, no Black Widow, reminds me too much of the ultimate movie. All I could keep thinking was, "She's not in the origin of the Avengers." Bring her in later for all I care, and Hawk too for that matter, but the first movie should be about the original 6 members.

[Terror Inc.]

Huh, didn't see your post Captain Stacy. Yeah you pretty much summed up what I was trying to say. Avengers Assemble!

[Marz69]

I would rather have a Nick Fury solo film than an Ant-Man. SLJ will rock as Nick Fury.

[Triad]

I'd love to see a feature film about Namor. Never been much of a fan of his comics, but always liked this anti-hero character. (His arrogance especially intrigued me) I think that he would transfer to the big screen well, if done right. (Maybe as one of the initial foils in Avengers & later teams up with them against a greater foe?)

[Rich Santoro]

Technically... Captain America was not one of the original members. He was given "founding" status after the fact, but he was not there from day one. So, really there is room to work in characters with a hastenned timeline. Hell, X-Men butchered the membership roster and sequence of participation.

[marcvader]

You know Hollywood will not give us a direct translation of the Avengers especially 616. They already introduced Fury and we know it wouldn't make sense for him not to be in it as he's putting the team together with the help of Stark, direct reference to Ultimates. We also know Cap will be in it. The big question will be how they'll incorporate the thunder god and how much Hulk and how much Banner they'll use in the movie. The other members (Pym/Wasp) will more than likely be relegated to the background ala Colosus.

[Hypestyle]

they must give some really hardcore action in the film.. keep the roster relatively small.. no need for the Legion of Avengers just yet..

[KangConquers]

Captain America- Leader of the team. Super Soldier found in ice.

kind of like Ultimates. I think Ultimates basically had the perfect team down, and a good arc, I just hated the treatment of the characters personalities.

Throw in Spider-Woman as a SHIELD agent. More chicks.

[Rich Santoro]

Agreed...

Cap
Ironman
Hulk
Thor
Antman
Wasp

Cameo of Black Widow as a SHIELD agent (later to become a full Avenger in future films)

Background unmentioned character in a weapons test lab for SHIELD, testing the weight of a hi-tech bow (later to become full Avenger as Hawkeye in future films)

[Hypestyle]

still no headway on a Cap? argh..

I added Sharon Carter as Cap's personal liason who helps him get acquated with 21st century life; remember, They're going to have to deal with Cap's Man out of Time syndrome in this movie.
