Isn't it pretty much confirmed it's just one race, though?

I haven't really seen that but wouldn't mind getting that info. I remember hiddleston saying that Loki had recruited the gangsters of the nine realms.

I think the theory that the who and what the aliens are as well as where they are from won't be adressed in the film. They will Loki's army but there identity will likely remain a mystery until the end of the film or the after-credits scene.

 

[JB-the-Hunter]

^ That doesn't really mean much. It's a C-list alien race like the Alpha Centaurians or the Sons of Muspell or the Knights of Wundagore. It won't mean anything aside from "Hey, guys, they were in the comics!". Their basic function is blow stuff up and fight the Avengers.

The guy on Twitter who saw one of the pre-screenings seemed to be relieved about the identity of the aliens though, as if he knew them from the comics. He said something along the lines of "And the identity of the aliens! Wow!"

I think they won't address it at all.

Speaking of theories, I do have one: I believe Thor returns to Earth using the Mjolnir's teleportation powers, but this requires massive amounts of energy, which prevents anyone else from coming with him, and leaves him severely weakned throughout the movie (The reason why he's sleeveless is several scenes, and Iron Man and Captain America can hold his own against him). He only really "powers up" in the ending (When he has sleeves again).

Also, it appears Loki opens the portal that brings the Horde to Earth atop the Chrysler Building, which is next to Stark Tower. I believe Loki appears before Stark at the Stark Tower to taunt him, because Iron Man had captured him earlier, reveals that he has an army, throws Stark out of the window or something, and then heads to the Chrysler Building to open the portal.

The final fight between Thor and Loki also might happen there (There's a scene of lightning hitting the building), with Thor closing the portal and defeating Loki. After Loki is subdued, Thor takes him back to Asgard by opening a portal using the Cosmic Cube, contained within that device we've seem him holding on set pictures.

I floated much the same idea a few days ago.

So basically Thor 2. Got it. And why is it such a problem that Iron Man got two hits on Thor? If a frost giant can head butt and punch Thor sending him hurling back then why not Iron Man? That's not holding his own against Thor. Should Thor simply wipe the floor with both of them?

 

[itchyscratch]

It seems pointless to have an Avengers movie with Thor in it if he is without his powers for most of it. If he is weakened I hope it's only for the initial scene or two when he first arrives.

But Tony Stark has been confirmed to have the most screen time because of RDJ's contract, and the film will be told from Cap's point of view so that evens everything out.

 

[Alexei Belyakov]

But Tony Stark has been confirmed to have the most screen time because of RDJ's contract

That's horrible.

The film will be told from Cap's point of view so that evens everything out.

That's debatable.

 

[Dark Raven]

Don't worry guys. Thor's helmet will have more screen time this time round than Thor himself.

 

[Alexei Belyakov]

All I want is a movie that doesn't feel like IRON MAN 2.5.

I want the other Avengers to have actual story arcs. I don't want the presence of them to be reduced to plot devices.

Examples of things they should do to prevent the above from happening:

-A scene with Steve walking through his old neighborhood, shocked at how much its changed (Puerto Rico).

-A scene with Thor visiting Jane, even if all we see is her door being opened by an unseen Portman.

-A scene with Banner looking at a photo of Betty as was done in TIH & picking up the phone to call her only to hang up once she picks up.

I really don't care if Tony has any character development in the film because he really doesn't need any.

Hulk, Cap & Thor need a continuation of their respective storylines.

Please stop spreading inaccuracies and feeding the trolls like the one immediately below you. The only thing confirmed was that RDJ was on set less than any of the other leads. They've stated multiple times that screentime is more or less equal between them.

 

[Guerrilla]

Im watching the trailer in super slow mo. The shot of hawkeye about to fire the grappling hook arrow. To the right side of his bow, just above it...i paused it. It looks like a chunk or section of one of the leviathans on the street...right in front of the building...there are explosions happening underneath this chunk. Anybody notice this? If you pause it exactly right before they cut to the next scene, you can see what im talking about...you can even see the vertabrae a bit and a "fin" or wing or whatever.

 

[darthmagic]

I don't want it to be Thor 2 either

Not sure i want to see the love interests in this movie aside from maybe Cap.

Um? Why not?

That's what RIM said though, why not tell him to stop spreading inaccuracies? And one person having more screen time than the other doesn't mean it's not equal, they can't all have the exact same amount of screen time after all.

You are such a sad human being.

But you know what? I don't hate you. I only pity you. I know you're young & probably frustrated over some teenage dilemma, so you need to use message boards to vent your frustrations on total strangers. I get that.

But I got news for you, fella - if you ever behave this way in REAL life, things might not turn out as low-key as they do here.

You need to at some point, clearly not now nor here, learn the meaning of respect. For your neighbors, for your elders (yours truly) and for yourself.

Continue living your unhappy life, broski, I'm taking the wife to see BULLHEAD tonight

he said please.

I only pop in here to read some news every now and then. I've seen people complaining about an AB, but I didn't know why or who it was. Now I do, so thanks for clearing that up for me.

 

[Whiskey Tango]

Where did he say that?

 

[Scarecrow_King]

I highly doubt anybody's contract says "I will have x amount more screen time than y." That's just ridiculous.

 

[Alexei Belyakov]

I don't want it to be Thor 2 either

I doubt it will be, and I get the feeling Thor is getting the least amount of stardom in this one csad

Not sure i want to see the love interests in this movie aside from maybe Cap.

Even if you don't actually see Jane or Betty, having them mentioned or implied adds a great deal of weight to each of the characters' journeys. Specially Steve, Bruce & Thor.

Um? Why not?

Tony's story's been told (2 films).

He's not dying anymore, he's dating Virginia, he's basically "good".

 

[Whiskey Tango]

he said please.

Awwww, was AB talking about me? I told him I was breaking it off but he just can't. let. go. I fear the poor lad has issues with rejection.

[T"Challa]

Sorry to derail the thread but i really need to know wtf is going on here

 

[Herolee10]

1. It's been said by those involved with the film that it would be presented as true ensemble film.

2. IF one character had ended up getting all of the screen time like Wolverine does in a X-Men film, I'm sure that it would have been complained about from those who had seen the rough cuts.

3. The only love interest that we'll see in this film is most likely Pepper since they said that there was reports that she was spotted on set.

4. Everyone will have their own shining moment in the film.
