I knew there was at least one other person staying up late to watch that Dr.Strange film!
Nice to know that I wasnt alone .

Oh yeah. In fact, if I recall, it aired after the Hulk episode where he's running through Times Square. Of course, I didn't understand what the hell I was watching. I just knew it was Dr. Strange t:

 

[Herolee10]

Was it to be this week or next week that we get something Avengers related from 'Entertainment Weekly"?

 

[warcam]

I thought RIM said 9/2.

Darth Vader:


NOOOOOOOOOOO!!


That's too long of a wait!.lol

God, i want official stills already; I mean at least have Marvel release a live action still of the entire group together in the film.

 

[The Infernal]

I must have missed that. Hopefully it's some promo pics of the Avengers as a group or a reveal of who the villains are. I mean it's not exactly too soon to announce who they are. The movie's not that far away and we've yet to hear a proper synopsis I believe.

Granted, we have a Post Credits Teaser from Captain America and a comic con poster, it still sucks that films like Spiderman and Batman have had more "visual" materials released than we have, despite the fact that the Avengers get released earlier.lol

 

[Chewy]

Hopefully the EW cover is Captain America with Thor to his left and Iron Man to his right, shoulder to shoulder

@ Dark Raven

I agree.

Just with everything I say, or anything in particular?

Here's some big news:

Disney Fires Marvel's Marketing Department

EXCLUSIVE: Everybody is trying to keep this secret. But I’ve learned that yesterday Disney canned Dana Precious, EVP of Worldwide Marketing for Marvel’s LA Studios (she had replaced Doug Finberg at the end of last summer), and Jeffrey Stewart, VP of Worldwide Marketing (he’d been brought in by Dana), and Jodi Miller, Manager of Worldwide Marketing. That’s essentially Marvel’s entire marketing department. The trio had worried their jobs were on the line ever since Disney bought Marvel in 2009. And even more so this summer after Paramount released Thor and Captain America domestically and internationally, thus effectively ending that studio’s marketing and distribution of Marvel pictures. I’m told that on June 24th, Rob Steffens who is Marvel Studios’ EVP Operations met with all of the department at the Manhattan Beach offices in what was described as a “Disney Rules of the Road” meeting. He told staff that there would be no house-cleaning by the mouse, period, so they were not to fear for their jobs and flee en masse. So much for that promise.

The official line on why Marvel’s marketing team was let go is that Disney will be taking over that function. In fact I’ve learned that Marvel will bring in someone in a “project management role”. But Kevin Feige’s continued supervision of all things Marvel should resolve any doubts by fanboys that Disney will screw around or screw up the comic book films. Insiders tell me that Precious and her team were not well-loved by Marvel bigwig Kevin Feige and other top execs at Marvel or by Disney and Paramount. (Some of the comments I heard today included: “Not up to or have the skill set to release this brand properly”… “Their job was to keep track of the people doing the real work”… “Paper pushers”… ”Would it have killed them to return an email?”… “Disney doesn’t need someone to cut its trailers”&#8230


Now Marvel staffers wonder whether the firings were really to avoid duplicating efforts with Disney or just petty vindictiveness. If it’s the latter, then jobs are safe. But if it’s the former, then any jobs redundant in terms of Disney’s infrastructure aren’t. Trying to reassure the Marvel folks, one insider tells me today, “If you do your job and are smart and understand the business, you shouldn’t worry.”

YES! and maybe just maybe a Hulk Photo

Gotta have The Hulk in there too.

 

[Surfer]

Does anyone think the guy Loki attacks with his staff might have relevance to the film or do most people think he is just some guy who gets in his way. I think the later, but just wanted to see what other people thought. I will post video again below.

I agree.

You should start quoting posts. The quote button is at the bottom right of each post.

 

[The Infernal]

And Hulk behind them all overshadowing them. ...hopefully.

Otherwise Marvel can just say they had a problem when they tried to photograph the Hulk. HULK SMASH PUNY PAPARAZZI.

I like his desk. Makes him look like the Davross of his office. lol

 

[Alexei Belyakov]

I really hope this guy pops up in the movie at some point.

 

[Chewy]

Yeah, in the article, hopefully. But you can only fit so many people on the cover and it should be the big three. I imagine it'll look something like the IM2 cover.

 

[Liam_H]

They usually don't have more than a few people to fit on a cover but they can certainly add Hulk onto the cover. I just don't know if they would since he's gonna be CGI and most people don't really care for the Hulk which is a shame. I doubt they'd put Ruffalo himself on there.

They don't need to say that. They can just say they wanted to showcase the big three and only had limited space on the cover anyway. It should really be only the big three otherwise everyone can start making a case for why other Avengers or actors should also share the spotlight and that will just get out of hand.

 

[Gamma Goliath]

I can see the cover being either : black widow, Bruce Banner with glowing eyes, mask-less captain America, helmet-less iron man, sleeveless Thor, hawkeye.

But more likely : Bruce Banner with glowing green eyes, mask-less captain America, helmet-less iron man, sleeveless Thor.

 

[Surfer]

@chewy....That would be cool! Hulk would be cool also, but might be difficult to incorporate due to size and the fact that he is Computer Generated.

[The Infernal]

Yeah, I wouldn't read too much into that line you highlighted Dark Raven. It's purely meant as a lead up to the Hulk Smash joke. Personally I wouldn't expect them to issue an excuse why Hulk wouldn't be there even if he was expected to be there.

Though the only reason I'd argue to have Hulk there is although he's not of the big three he is the only other Avenger in the film with his own solo movie (which also lead up to the Avengers) and has either equal name/brand recognition or more to some of the big three.
