TREKS IN SCI-FI FORUM

A day ahead of the release of Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer, Marvel Studios has commissioned work to begin on bringing another comic book series to the big screen: the superhero team of the Avengers. The news comes through Hollywood Reporter, who reports that the Studio has slated Zak Penn to write the script for the live-action adaptation which is currently titled The Avengers.

Penn’s most recent credits include writing the screenplay for another of Marvel’s properties, the upcoming The Incredible Hulk. It’s still unclear which characters will be part of the film. The original Avengers lineup from 1963 included Iron Man, Captain America, Thor, Ant-Man and Wasp, but the roster has been expanded in recent years with Spider-Man and Wolverine joining the group. With most of those characters either currently being used for feature films (Spider-Man) or in the process of having their own (Iron Man and Thor), it may make it less likely that they’ll be a part of the story. It would certainly complicate the casting process. However president of Marvel Films Kevin Feige tells Geek that having their own production company now will make creating an Avengers movie easier due to keeping more property licenses in house.

'Iron Man' Writers Want Hulk To Be 'The Avengers' Villain
Published by Shawn Adler on Thursday, October 9, 2008 at 5:51 pm.

Hulk vs. Iron ManEverything in the Marvel Film Universe is leading to the eventual superhero tag team-up, "The Avengers," with Iron Man, Ant-Man, Thor, and Captain America all fighting side-by-side. What possible villain could compete with that?

"The Incredible Hulk" director Louis Leterrier told MTV News this past June that he didn't think any villain could, and suggested that they use a hero instead: his.

"Iron Man" writers Mark Fergus and Hawk Ostby, who themselves may be writing another Marvel movie in the near future, couldn't agree more, they told MTV News, insisting that everything is building towards making The Hulk the villain in the eagerly anticipated 2011 movie.

"I hope 'The Avengers' embraces that," Fergus said of having the Hulk as misunderstood baddie. "You don't want like 10 super-badass good guys fighting together. Where's the fun in that? Let's break it off a little. Friends or colleagues who become enemies is always an interesting thing because you know it's based on love and friendship and that's always the worst thing to have turn bad — is someone you actually care about and someone you actually believe in."

Hulk, of course, has fought nearly every Marvel hero at some point in the comics, and because he already had his own movie, wouldn't need to be set-up in the new one. In fact, all the hard work is already done.

"I left the door open for whoever's going to direct 'The Avengers' with our last shot. Edward [Norton] and I, we consciously decided to make the last shot of the movie when he opens his eyes and he smirks at the camera," Leterrier told us. "Is he enjoying it? Is he malicious? That's what's great about Edward. You don't know if he's a good guy or bad guy. He's always on this edge and we've been sort of surfing that edge, that very thin edge during the entire movie."

Recall, also that Downey Jr. as Tony Stark appears to General Ross at the very end of "Hulk," a scene Leterrier called the first scene of "The Avengers."

Sign Stark and them up for more, Fergus said.

"I personally like when good-guy characters have to fight each other," he said. "Good guys going against good guys who both believe in an issue is way more interesting than a villain clearly into evil and I like when former friends become committed enemies."

Here's a really cool "FAN" made poster for The Avengers using all the current actors in the roles.

Little rumor here, but seems likely given Joss Whedon is directing this movie.

A casting rumor: www.Mania.com (http://www.mania.com)  is reporting that Morena Baccarin ("V","Firefly") has been seen visiting a comic shop and purchasing "a bunch of Avengers" comics in between her filming sessions for "V". The actress was reportedly asking the store workers to specifically point out comics with the Wasp in them. Baccarin as The Wasp? "The Avengers" is scheduled to hit theaters on May 4, 2012.

Cool.  :)  I can see her as The Wasp.  In fact, the more I think about it, the more I'm impressed by the idea of her in the role. :)

Yep, I agree.  The Wasp is suppose to be a former fashion model and always dresses in style.  Morena would be a great choice.

The Avengers Start of Production Press Release & First Photo!
Source: Marvel Studios
April 26, 2011

Marvel Studios has released a press release on the start of production for Marvel's The Avengers as well as the first photo from the set!

Production has commenced today in Albuquerque, New Mexico on Marvel Studios' highly anticipated movie "Marvel's The Avengers," directed by Joss Whedon ("Serenity") from a screenplay by Whedon.  The film will continue principal photography in Cleveland, Ohio and New York City. Robert Downey, Jr. ("Iron Man," "Iron Man 2") returns as the iconic Tony Stark/Iron Man along with Chris Hemsworth ("Thor") as Thor, Chris Evans ("Captain America: The First Avenger") as Captain America, Jeremy Renner ("Thor," "The Hurt Locker") as Hawkeye, Mark Ruffalo ("The Kids Are Alright") as Hulk, Scarlett Johansson ("Iron Man 2") as Black Widow, Clark Gregg ("Iron Man," "Thor") as Agent Phil Coulson, and Samuel L. Jackson ("Iron Man," "Iron Man 2") as Nick Fury.  Set for release in the US on May 4, 2012, "Marvel's The Avengers" is the first feature to be fully owned, marketed and distributed by Disney, which acquired Marvel in 2009.

Continuing the epic big-screen adventures started in "Iron Man," "The Incredible Hulk," "Iron Man 2," "Thor," and "Captain America: The First Avenger," "Marvel's The Avengers" is the super hero team up of a lifetime. When an unexpected enemy emerges that threatens global safety and security, Nick Fury, director of the international peacekeeping agency known as S.H.I.E.L.D., finds himself in need of a team to pull the world back from the brink of disaster.

Based on the ever-popular Marvel comic book series, first published in 1963, "Marvel's The Avengers" brings together the mightiest super hero characters as they all assemble together on screen for the first time. The star studded cast of super heroes will be joined by Cobie Smulders ("How I Met Your Mother) as Agent Maria Hill of S.H.I.E.L.D., as well as Tom Hiddleston ("Wallander") and Stellan Skarsg�rd ("Angels & Demons," "Mamma Mia!") who will both reprise their respective roles as Loki and Professor Erik Selvig from the upcoming Marvel Studios' feature "Thor."

"Marvel's The Avengers" is being produced by Marvel Studios' President, Kevin Feige, and executive produced by Alan Fine, Stan Lee, Louis D'Esposito, Patty Whitcher, and Jon Favreau. Marvel Studios' Jeremy Latcham and Victoria Alonso will co-produce.

The creative production team also includes Oscar nominated director of photography Seamus McGarvey ("Atonement"), production designer James Chinlund ("25th Hour"), Oscar winning costume designer Alexandra Byrne ("Elizabeth: The Golden Age"), Oscar winning visual effects supervisor Janek Sirrs ("Iron Man 2," "The Matrix"), visual effects producer Susan Pickett ("Iron Man," "Iron Man 2"), stunt coordinator R.A. Rondell ("Superman Returns"), and four-time Oscar nominated special effects supervisor Dan Sudick ("Iron Man," "War of the Worlds"). The editors include Oscar nominated Paul Rubell ("Collateral") and Jeffrey Ford ("Crazy Heart").

Marvel Studios most recently produced "Iron Man 2" which was released in theatres on May 7, 2010. The sequel to "Iron Man," starring Robert Downey, Jr. and Gwyneth Paltrow as well as Don Cheadle, Scarlett Johansson and Mickey Rourke, took the number one spot its first weekend with a domestic box office gross of $128.1 million. To date the film has earned over $620 million in worldwide box office receipts.

In the summer of 2008, Marvel produced the summer blockbuster movies, "Iron Man" and "The Incredible Hulk."  "Iron Man," in which Robert Downey, Jr. originally dons the super hero's powerful armor alongside co-stars Terrence Howard, Jeff Bridges and Gwyneth Paltrow, was released May 2, 2008 and was an immediate box office success. Garnering the number one position for two weeks in a row, the film brought in over $100 million its opening weekend and grossed over $571 million worldwide. On June 13, 2008, Marvel released "The Incredible Hulk" marking its second number one opener of that summer. The spectacular revival of the iconic green goliath grossed over $250 million in worldwide box office receipts.

With Joss on board as writer and director, this is a can't miss in my view!  Exciting stuff!!!

Sounds Awesome!!!! And it sounds like they will be fighting Loki and not the Hulk. I hope thats the way it plays out. I like the Hulk as a misunderstood good guy.

I think we can trust with Joss writing and directing we have nothing to worry about when it comes to this being awesome.

Little teaser....

He sure is.  All of them are back (except Ed Norton as Banner/Hulk - Mark Ruffalo is taking his place).  Cast pic!

That's so cool! I never saw the second HULK movie anyway. Now I should try and catch THOR...

Bryan, you certainly should try and catch Thor anyway cause it's a great film. And the second Hulk is also a great movie, like everything Marvel since that one. I support anything Marvel Studios is doing cause of their track record from The Incredible Hulk, Iron Man, Iron Man 2, Thor, and X-Men: First Class. All great films.

Man, if they pull this off well, it's going to far outshine anything that came before it! I wonder if we'll get a Justice League movie in the future?

Yeah, I'm looking forward to it, BUT...as much potential as it has for greatness, could be tripled in awefullness...I think as long as NBC has nothing to do with it, it should be just fine! :)

Two words for this movie give me huge confidence...  Joss Whedon!  'Nuff said!  :)

I think this will be a great movie but that is alot of actors to put in one movie. And I believe they are planning a Justice League movie. I think a Flash and Wonder Woman movie are supposed to be 1st though.  

Watch it quick.. before it's taken down

Amazing that this has actually gotten made.

I wouldn't mind Giant man and wasp in it.

In a surprise move, Paramount Pictures and Marvel Studios have officially released, through Yahoo! Movies,  a condensed version of the final scene of Captain America: The First Avenger, including part of the post-credits tease of next summer's The Avengers. Check it all out below!

P.S.  Don't watch this video if you haven't seen "Captain America" yet because it does show the end of that film.

No matter how many times I read bits of this thread, I always expect it to be discussing the exploits of Steed and Mrs. Peel!

Without a comic book background (and possibly because I'm not American), I'm always so-so about these types of movies yet when I get to see them (usually on TV) I really quite enjoy them.

In one sense, I guess, I'm probably a better audience for them than some of you comic geeks since I have no concept of 'the way things are supposed to be' yet the concept never quite grabs me.

An article with some on location (in Ohio) of the Avengers filming.  It's looking to me like they will be taking on some aliens - possibly Skrulls??

From D23!

The Avengers Assemble at D23 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hJ6LiYxg_Zg#ws)

Is Captain America not going to have a mask in this movie? it's really no big deal but has anybody heard about that. And it was cool seeing those shots from the movie.

Cool new picture/poster?

Saw some extended scenes for the Avengers during the D23 Expo last weekend. AWESOME!!!!!! This movie is going to rock. Chris Hemsworth, Robert Downey, Jr, Jeremy Renner, Scarlet Johansson and a BUNCH more were there. Unfortunately, couldn't take any photos or video :( But everything we saw...Cap is wearing his mask.

It's like you can smell the success of this movie from way back here.

I've been dying to see the footage that was screened at D23 about a week back.  Been scouring the Net for a trace of it.  (Al - how the heck did you get to see this?  You need to send an audio comment into the show about what you thought, etc.)

Anyway, there are some descriptions online of what scenes and things are shown in the footage.  Go to the link below for info on what was shown.

http://insidemovies.ew.com/2011/08/20/avengers-footage-d23/ (http://insidemovies.ew.com/2011/08/20/avengers-footage-d23/)

P.S.  Cap has never really been big on hiding his identity much.  So, I doubt his mask will be on all the time in the movie.

Rico,
Joyce and I are D23 members, which got us into the Expo each day an hour earlier than non-members. So, the day of the Walt Disney Studios panel, we got there nice and early, then waited in line for about 2 hours. Not bad really. Our seats were up in the balcony area, but still very awesome seats! I'll record an audio tonight and send it off to you! :)

Cool!  Love to hear what you thought of the footage they showed.

Some new pics from the cast filming in New York.  More at the link below:

Another couple of images from filming...

You're killing me with these photos. I want to see the movie now (I know, I know, good things come to those who wait)! :)

I'm so happy Joss is doing this movie.. there are so many characters and that normally means some will not get their spot light but Joss is great with this kind of ensemble cast.. can't wait!!

AWESOME

Geekgasm. I've been waiting for this since I was a wee lad reading comics in the barbershop.

Hey, wha? Meds! How did you get that photo of me from first thing in the morning?!

Holy crap!!!!! That looks AWESOME!!! May can't come soon enough!! And when they showed the Hulk at the end...AWESOME again!!!
Darmok, have you left yet?! If you can stop by here with your time machine. And do you have snacks on the thing?
OK, off to go watch the trailer again!   :hulk   :ironman

All I can say is I love RDJ's Tony Starl more and more.

I'm still holding out hope that the first battle the Avengers face together is against the Hulk. I know that Loki is supposed to be the main "big bad" but I really think that the best way to bring the team together would be as a united front called to get the Hulk under control. 

Wow. Can't wait for this movie!!!!

I don't want them to fight the HULK. I just want him to be a part of the team. I do see what you mean by a good way to unite the Avengers and there was that part at the end of The Incredible Hulk with Tony Stark and Ross so it's very possible. But come on! Do any of the Avengers have a hope in getting the HULK under control?? He would SMASH them all!!   :old_bash:

Just watched the trailer again and almost cried.

Some new banners are out for the movie...

So, this must be the new 3D gimmick to get people to go to these movies - collectible 3D glasses.  The Phantom Menace is doing it and it looks like "The Avengers" is going to be doing it too.

Why can't they do a digital release?

What do you mean by digital release?

the more I see of this the more excited I get.. I mean superheros and Joss Whedon.. it's a win win for the fans.

New pic released...

That new trailer is awesome!! I have watched it a bunch. Love the parts with the Hulk in them. And yes when Stark says we have a Hulk I think the 1st thing I said was OH, YEAH!! And then they show the Hulk doing what he does best...SMASHING!! AWESOME!! I also like the part when their standing in a circle and the camera pans around them. May is to far away!!

Another pic is out...

Hmm not sure about the Cap suit although I suppose it's realistic. Can't wait for the movie though.

I thought that Cap's suit worked in the first movie. I had a similar reaction to yours when I first saw it in a magazine prior to seeing the film.

This is a slight redesign to the first movie though right? It looks like the "Ultimate" Cap to me.

You can see that last image I posed in hires here:  http://www.comingsoon.net/nextraimages/avengersnewhires.jpg (http://www.comingsoon.net/nextraimages/avengersnewhires.jpg)

I love the new suit. It shows that time has passed and they are pulling out decades old rags to dress him in. The old uniform is too old and dated for it to really work in the modern time.

The Avengers have definitely hit all the right notes so far.  Let's hope the movie is in the same vein.  Maybe DC can start taking notes on how to do middle level characters.  :joker

What characters are middle level in the Avengers?

Hawkeye, Black Widow....and as a main guy Iron Man wasn't as well known before the movie became such a big hit. Of course to comic fans he was, but not to mainstream folks.

The Avengers in the comics have had A LOT of secondary characters over the years (Vision, Wonder Man, Wasp, Ant Man, etc...) .  Although the movie looks to include mainly the big league guys, there are still some lesser known ones like Chris mentioned.

I think Entertainment Tonight will have some Avengers info/footage maybe tonight - and a new trailer is supposed to be coming very soon.  But, in the meantime here's a new poster.  I like this one quite a bit.

Guess.. the new trailer is out.. OMG!!! I don't even have words how incredible this movie is going to be.

Same thoughts about Cap's uniform.  Personally I prefered Cap's 1940's uniform.

This morning I read somewhere that the movie is being renamed here in the UK to avoid people getting confused with Steed and Mrs Peel.

AWESOME new trailer.  Thanks for the link K.

HOLY @!#$%^$#!!!!!!!!!!!!! Mother of GOD.

Awesome doesn't even begin to describe how good the trailer make this look. This has been built up so much with the other films and the trailers just add to the excitement for these characters to finally come together. What can they possibly do after this I wonder to build this much hype.

"The Colonial Avengers"

Awesome new trailer with some great new moments.  Yep, looks like for the UK it's called "Avengers Assemble."  I hope Joss Whedon was able to inject a lot of good character moments.  This latest trailer seems to show some of that too.  Can't wait!

Actually took the time to watch the last trailer...sweeeeeeet!!!!!

Love the Bruce Banner line, "We're not a team. We're a time bomb."

"The Colonial Avengers"

If they did that, Glen Larson and/or Ron Moore would probably be on them like white on rice. :-D

I watched the trailer on IMBD before I came onto the forum tonight.  How many ways can you say AWESOME!!!
The Hulk looks amazing!! And it looks like they have a new opening date for this on April 26! I'm on vacation that week!!! So maybe I can go see it 3 or 4 times!!  [spoiler]It was awesome when the Hulk caught Iron Man and It seemed weird to me that the Black Widow was the one that had to find Bruce Banner.[/spoiler]

OK, OK. I'm correcting myself here. If I lived in Britian I could see The Avengers on April 26. But since I live in Ohio I will have to wait. That latest trailer threw me off. I did find all 3 trailers on Hulu Plus and they look cool on my big screen!

I had always been a DC guy, but the build up to this has me stoked!!!!!!!!!!!

The best thing is, when the Avengers makes a billion at the box office, DC will wake up and we'll FINALLY get that AWESOME Justice League movie!!!

First, we need a decent contemporary Superman, Flash, Wonder Woman, et. al. movie.

I too would like to see a Justice League!!!!!!  Do the build up right and then make it!!!

Problem is that would take DC actually getting their act together and figuring out how to intertwine their movies. And get people who can actually make good movies. Problem I see now is Superman Returns and the Green Lantern were not great. And the Batman films though good I just can't see that universe that's based on a realistic reality of high concept technology (and not superpowers or aliens) working with the other DC universes.

     Personally I enjoyed "Superman Returns" although I admit it was more of a homage (spelling?) than a real sequal.  I mean it takes place after "Superman II" but it really just hits the notes of the first film and kind of branches off slightly.  But still I liked Routh's portrayal of both Clark and Supes and I thought the special effects were great.  I got chills during the scene where he saves the plane and sets it down in the baseball stadium and the crowd cheers for him.
     Green Lantern ... ehhh ... I did'nt despise it.  Thats about the best I can say of it.
     I do love the Batman films, but I agree with Sheppard, they are too *reality* based for a Justice League film.  Still, one can dream.

     Appaullo

Yeah, I enjoyed "Superman Returns" quite a bit too.  One of the troubles for a JLA film is I think the characters are harder to pull together in a way in just a single film since the team is really so powerful.  But for now, my hopes are with the Avengers.  I've heard if the movie does well, Joss wants to do another one and make it more character centered and a smaller type of film.

I'm in the enjoyed Returns boat too. I really enjoyed it. It was truly in the spirit of the other films and that's probably why other people didn't like it. It's one thing to remember something as fantastic, but to see it years later and it not have that same feeling kind of colors things.

I think the nostalgia and new were in perfect balance and kept the core of the character together. The acting was also great.

As for a JL movie. I don't see that happening any time soon because of the number of people that would need to get paid to get it out.

I didn't dislike Returns, just found it lacking.  I think the next Superman film needs to feel like a movie made for 21st century audiences, not like something that could have just as easily been made in 1983.

Can't believe the Avengers film is opening so soon.  They're really marketing the heck out of this...four separate Avengers titles in the comics, Avengers mini series,  plus a huge crossover "Event" title starting next month called Avengers vs. X-Men.

Just announced:

I'm going to have to pack a long lunch for this: Iron Man, Incredible hulk, Iron Man 2, Thor, Captain America: The First Avenger, The Avengers... All one day.

After the "John Carter" fail, Disney is just as eager to release this one, I'm sure.

     CAN NOT WAIT FOR THIS MOVIE!!!!!
     I used to collect comics very heavily when I was younger (I'm 45 now) and the Avengers, while not always my absolute fav's, always had a special place in my heart.  I am VERY ready for this movie.  Only thing though :

     I grew up on Marvel comics.  I like what Robert Downey Jr. has done with the Tony Stark role, and he now *is* Iron Man/Tony Stark - but - he is NOT the Tony Stark I remember from my collecting days.  I always hear people comment that Downey IS Tony Stark.  To which I always ask : Really?!  I did'nt always collect Iron Man.  But I used to have enough of them to be familiar with the character and I must say I do not recall Stark being this eccentric.  Please, if anyone else who collected these books in the 80s/90s remembers differently I'd love to know.  I dont know if its me remembering it wrong or what.

     Just to clarify, I LOVE what Downey has done with the role.  To me in the movies he IS Tony Stark.

     Appaullo

"We have a HULK." Loved that clip. There is going to be some major smashing going on!!!!!!!!!!!

Some really terrific new poster art for this movie at the link below with an example.

"Hulk smash!"

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CygiixIaKJQ# (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CygiixIaKJQ#)

I love it. I gotta stop watching this stuff!

I don't know if I want to watch the tv spot #4 or not. I always like to wait in the movie for the Hulk to say "Hulk Smash." Does he say that in the clip?? And I'm with Chris-El I need to stop watching all these things. We only have about a month to go.

It's mostly footage from the other trailers with a few seconds of some new stuff - including the classic line of dialogue (in this clip, it isn't Hulk that says the line).

OK, OK. I'll probably watch it. But, do I really want to? OH, I don't know!!

Premiere they just had in LA last night.  Awesome!

Well, my wife and I have agreed to play hooky next Friday and go see this. We haven't done that in a while. Interest is so high for this movie among everyone I know, even non-geek types. I wonder if it will totally blow the doors off of what the Hunger Games brought in?

Thinking of taking next Friday off work to see it then on opening day.  I've tried to avoid reading any early reviews, but even many of the official movie critics seem to be really liking it so far.

I also haven't been reading reviews, but the guy who sits next to me at work is following it very closely. All I'll say is that the critics like it, even the critics that usually pan movies like this.

I'll be attending the midnight screening on Thursday night.  Haven't done a midnight premiere since Indiana Jones and the Crystal Skull, really can't wait!!!

Wow, my last midnight was Episode 3. Have fun!

I am still debating the Marvel Marathon on Thursday May 3rd.  Six movies, including the Avengers, for $40.  Is anyone doing this?  I know Chris X was thinking about it.

I'm seeing it this Thursday (26th) got my ticket today :)

How are you seeing it a week early?

Edit:  n/m I see UK Release date a week earlier than USA. JEALOUS!!!

Yeah we get it a week early, bar previews last week we've got opening slot. :)

That's so funny, I am going to watch Thor tonight on iTunes!

Crap, denied! Thor isn't on iTunes. Oh well, I'll have to wait for Netflix.

I watched Thor 2 weeks ago on iTunes, great movie!

This might warrant a trip to Blockbuster if you're planning on seeing the Avengers.  From what I've heard it really helps to know what happens in Thor before seeing Avengers.  Plus it's awesome.

Wait, you guys still have Blockbuster?

well Redbox it or something...it's worth it

Just come back from The Avengers. Spoiler free report below, ive put it in a spoiler tag just in case no one wants to read anything.

[spoiler] Ok so spoiler free, the film is bloody fantastic. Joss pulls it off with witty banter, great action direction and beautifully shot (for a action film). My main concern was too many characters in one film but you can tell they all leave their egos at the door and let each other have a turn. One of many plus points is they nail The Hulk, his colour is great, he looks like Banner and he has the comic book feel. There is a bit of slight confusion going on from the end of Thor to the start of this but that could be just me. There are some nice connections to all the other films. Cap America is nicely up front, Tony Stark amazingly witty (RDJ on top form), Thor pretty cool if not a bit in the background, Hawkeye & Blackwidow very well used (love Scarlett) & The Hulk is bang on. Banner I would say is perfect, slightly nervous with his control but boy he says an amazing line leading to the climax.
All in all a fantastic film that I think you will all love.        [/spoiler]

I saw the movie at lunch time today, and the screening was packed; much more than I would normally expect at that time on a Sunday! 

I LOVED the movie, and it's probably now my favourite Marvel Superhero flick!! 

Don't miss the scene in the middle of the end credits!!!!

You lucky ducks, getting to see the movie!

I'm sure you'll get a blast in seeing it next weekend...just think, you've got all that Marvel goodness to look forward too!!  :)

This is one of two or three films I'll see in a theater this year. I don't know if we will get to see it this coming weekend but I'm keeping my fingers crossed.

Have you seen this(?):

The Avengers Has Earned $178.4 Million, And It Hasn't Even Opened in the U.S. Yet

Finally saw "Thor" this past weekend, thanks to the free Epix preview. An awkward film. Glad it was for free.

Yes, it's performed great over the weekend!  I am looking forward to reading about how good it performs this coming weekend in your neck of the wood! 

At work this morning I had collegues ranging from 20 to 60 saying they had seen it and enjoyed it! 

Slightly changing the subject - though I enjoyed Captain America's 40's costume better I quickly got used to his modern costume.   My favourite costume has to be The Black Widow, Scarlett Johansson was poured into that costume!!!   ;)

Is it actually called "Avengers:Assemble" over there in the credits?

Yeah it's called Avengers Assemble in the titles over here. Remember to stay while the credits run you get a tease after the first main credit section.

Two things for those getting ready to see this soon:

First - the 3-D version was converted over, not shot in 3-D. 
Second - stay for ALL the credits to the very end.

THough I've been hearing reports that the 3D is quite good, despite being post-processed. Everyone seeing this over the weekend, enjoy!

I heard the 3D was very good as well and that's how I am planning on seeing it!

I saw it in 2d, my brother saw it in 3d and he said that some action scenes were 'blury' in places.   I can't say which scenes as I don't want to give anything away!

Yup second added scene (for you USA/Canadian viewers ) it's a follow on from a joke mentioned by Stark during the film.

3-D conversions have a lot of trouble with fast moving, action scenes.  This is one reason for the headaches some people get.  The "brain-trick" they are trying to pull off with the polarized lenses has difficulty when images change fast frame-to-frame.  Pretty common problem.

I Khan't wait!  Oh wrong thread...

Just got my tix for the midnight show...I am going to be hurting tomorrow but I think it's going to be worth it!

AVENGERS ASSEMBLE!

I'm always tempted to try the midnight thing, but I want to see it when I'm more awake.  Start drinking some coffee Joby!
Mark and I are going tomorrow right after work.  Can't wait!!!

Going to see this tomorrow night with the wife!! I get off at 4 and she gets off at 5 so I think I'll go to the bargain box in the mall where the movie is at. We also have a gift card for a restarant in the mall soooo comics books, free or really cheap supper and

The Avengers!!!!!

Is this going to be an awesome night or what. I'm also planning to wear my Hulk t-shirt.  :hulk

the trick is to drink just enough coffee so you stay awake but not so much that you have to run and pee in the middle of the movie!!!

Great flick. So much good about it but the Hulk and Mark Ruffalo almost steal the show.  LOVED the portrayal of that character...there's some humor about him that we've never seen in any portrayal going as far back as Bill Bixby that makes it the best interpretation of the green behemoth ever.

Whew...3am...I'm getting too old for this %#@$.

HOLY COW. I loved this movie. The 8-year old self inside of me is on overload! Can't really go into specifics because I just got back but....
[spoiler]THANOS IS COMING! INFINITY GAUNTLET IN AVENGERS 2!!!![/spoiler] So freakin' cool. Did not expect to see him at all.

Just got back from seeing this.. I choose 2D and I just have one word.. INCREDIBLE!!

Best superhero movie ever - good balance of heart, drama, action and hilarity!

LOVED IT!!!  All I can say so far.  Joss did comic fans proud.  :)

I need to see this soon!

Quote from: Dangelus on May 04, 2012, 06:15:58 PM

YES - you do!

It is the mark of a truly amazingly well done sci-fi movie when I can not only convince my wife to watch it with me, but when, after the movie, she wants to watch it again. And the series of individual movies leading up to it. Well, iron man's, at least.

Bravo, Joss.

(P. S. kudos for giving almost as much screen time to the captain's butt as black widow's)

Wow did I call that or what!

WOW, WOW, WOW, WOW!!!!!!!! THIS MOVIE WAS AMAZING. THE WIFE AND I WENT LAST NIGHT AND WE BOTH LOVED IT. SHE LIKING THOR AND IRON MAN THE BEST AND ME HULK AND CAPTAIN AMERICA. GREAT MOVIE! PLEASE DON'T WAIT TO GO SEE IT BECAUSE YOU WILL WANT TO HAVE MORE TIME TO SEE AGAIN AND AGAIN!
I also agree with an earlier post about Cap's uniform. It really grows on you during the movie. At 1st I was a little mixed about it but it really was pretty cool. I hope they make a new Hulk movie. I would love to see him in another one. Mark Ruffalo did a great job as Bruce Banner.
On a side note we sat in a spot right behind some stairs. And I just want to say why would you want to get up and miss some parts of an awesome movie! Even though it kinda bugged me I was so into the movie that my irritation lasted .004 seconds.  

I'm bringing my boys on Sunday

I might try to check this out in IMAX soon too.  We had a pretty full theater yesterday and a big line waiting to get in as we left the movie.  Again - MAKE SURE to stay until the very end of all of the credits.  Worth the wait.  :)

It'll be interesting to learn how much money the film takes this weekend!!   :D

Well, it made 80 million bucks just on Friday! Should be quite an opening.

http://boxofficemojo.com/ (http://boxofficemojo.com/)

Well, nobody *wants* to leave in the middle of the movie, but when the young boy drinks half of the large soda on his own (before anyone else notices), he needs a few bathroom breaks.

Our family now has a great trick for saving money at the theatre:
1) timeshift working hours away from friday afternoon
2) order last matinee tickets online (avoid lines)
3) late lunch for me
4) wife feeds kids right after school
5) they get seats, I get 1 large popcorn and drink combo
6) enjoy the movie!

Hope you all enjoy(ed) it as much as we did!

I want to go see it again - right now!

Marvel's The Avengers TV Spot 10 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YBt1yz-GVgo#ws)

My Daughter and I just got out of the Movie!!  INCREDIBLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I Loved it!!!!!

Awesome!  It made $200 million this weekend - a new record opening set!  About $650 million worldwide so far.  Can you say - sequel?  :)

http://www.comingsoon.net/news/movienews.php?id=89933 (http://www.comingsoon.net/news/movienews.php?id=89933)

Wonder if Avengers will beat The Dark Knight's $533,345,358? I'd bet good money it absolutely will.

Saw The Avengers this afternoon. What an incredible movie. Had a great Mix of everything in it, the Action was great, and the humour well timed. The Personalities of each of the Characters came out well also. I thought Captain America did a great job, as he came off as a guy from the 40's in todays time.

Wow, I really enjoyed this movie.  Thank you M-5!  It was different than I expected.  Very happy with the way they handled the Hulk.  Tony Stark... ON THE MONEY!  So entertaining and not the l least bit boring.  Great stuff.  Very glad we went this afternoon.

When they give these numbers, do they take into account the increase in ticket prices - even though HP7.2 was just a while ago.  I would be more interested to know the number of tickets.   Still impressive for 3 days.

Nope - those numbers are not adjusted for inflation.  But you can find websites that convert things like this.

Loved it! My only complaint is that the theater had the sound way too loud and my ears are still ringing five hours later. Well done film all around though.

Emagine did that with the last Pirates movie.  I think it has to do with the dbox/rumble seats.

But is any movie worth possible hearing loss for? I know the decibel level was well beyond safe.

Kevin

Yeah, I've noticed sound issues quite bit lately.  My guess in some cases is some theaters haven't upgraded their speaker system to handle some of the new digital audio and it's poorly balanced.  That plus those DBOX seats Mark mentioned - those seem to make the whole theater rumble!  :)

Sawthe movie last night. Great direction, Great writing, great acting, great sets, great special effects, great laughs. The bar for superhero movies has just been raised significantly.

Just got back from Imax 3D ... well worth it! I might go again on my next off day.

WOW.    INCREDIBLE MOVIE!!!!  Well done, Joss &  team.  This one was not only knocked out of the park, it was knocked out of the freaking solar system.  So many cool moments; a film hasn't inspired this kind of outright joyful laughter and glee in a long, long time.  This film felt like an epic love poem to all comic books.  I feel an overpowering urge to go see it again tomorrow!   ;D

[spoiler]  Right from the first introduction of Jackson as Fury back in Iron Man, I KNEW this was going to be an Ultimates movie.  Ultimates 1 & 2 are two of my all-time favorite books, and this film managed take some of the coolest elements of both & create something familiar yet awesomely new.  There absolutely HAS TO BE an Avengers 2, featuring THANOS!  There just HAS to be!  PLEASE!

If we lived in the same town, I'd go with you. I'll most likely go to see it a couple of more times. I laughed so hard that I got dizzy a couple of times.

Fun article over on Comingsoon.net about some of their thoughts on what characters to bring into the next Avengers movie.  I like some of their ideas and casting thoughts too.

Yes, almost brotherly! Reminds me of horsing around when I was a kid. They really nailed the personalities.

i just saw this last weekend, i'm not generally one for the super hero movies (didn't particularly like captain america) but i can safely say i really enjoyed this one. all of the jokes were really funny, and i liked how they brought everyone together :D

I hope I can go see this again on Sat. with my mom and nephew. My nephew called me this past Sat. and said 'take me to the Avengers movie.' He really likes these kind of movies so I really do want to take him so we can talk about it. He's 17 so It's cool he likes some of the things I do so we can have chats about them.
And someone said earlier about Captain America being like he's still in the 40's. I really like that part about his character in this movie and was even talking about that to the wife after we saw it.
Great movie and can't wait to see it again! And i don't care if it's 2D, 3D, or 3D IMAX!
Oh, yeah, I was talking about the movie to one of my managers at work and he ended up taking his wife to see it in 3D IMAX. He said they both liked it.

Thanks...by far both of the biggest laughs in my screening were generated by the Hulk

[spoiler]When he pops Thor as an afterthought and when he beats the everloving crap out of Loki.  I'm not quite sure how I feel about Hulk understanding the difference between a god and a human as well as being able to articulate it, but only a small quibble.[/spoiler]

The answer is simple.

[spoiler]The hulk is still Banner. He knows what Banner knows and it's totally within the context of the character to understand. Also, had he done the same to a human, it would be a stain on the concrete after the first slam.[/spoiler]

It's official: there'll be a sequel!

Great movie.  The audience reaction was astounding. 

"Thanks...by far both of the biggest laughs in my screening were generated by the Hulk"

[spoiler]I think he punched Thor because he was perturbed, he couldn't pick up Thors hammer. [/spoiler]

I saw it this afternoon and it was an awesome movie!

I'm happy to report that my Mom and Nephew both loved the movie. And of course the wife and I enjoyed all over again. I asked my nephew as we were leaving I said from 1 to 10 I rate it a 12! What do you rate it and he said 13! If there wasn't some great looking movies starting to come out on the 18th I would probably go see this again in Imax or something. But Battleship this weekend and MIB 3 next weekend. 
[spoiler]It was Puny god that the Hulk said after smashing him on the floor. LOL Also my nephew said something interestng about Hulk punching Thor. He said "revenge is sweet." On the helicarrier Thor smashed into Hulk when he started toward Black Widow. So I can see where that would fit. Some of my favorite parts are all the Hulk parts,  & when Cap jumps on the car where the cops are wondering what to do and Cap gives them orders and they are like "Who are you to give us orders" and Cap takes out 3 aliens so the cop starts giving the orders Cap just gave him! Also the part where Stark is thrown off his building and his suit flies to him. How awesome was that!![/spoiler]

Looks like a 10 disc Blu-Ray set of Marvel films is coming to celebrate the Avengers success!  Very tempting to buy this one.

Still doing incredible business in theaters, Marvel's The Avengers is on its way to DVD and Blu-ray later this year. Though an official date is still unconfirmed, an interesting tease has shown up Amazon for something called the "Marvel Cinematic Universe: Phase One - Avengers Assembled" Blu-ray collection. The tentative list of content for the ten-disc set reads as follows:

• Marvel's The Avengers (Blu-ray 3D and Blu-ray)
• Captain America: The First Avenger (Blu-ray 3D and Blu-ray)
• Thor (Blu-ray 3D and Blu-ray)
• Iron Man 2 (Blu-ray)
• The Incredible Hulk (Blu-ray)
• Iron Man (Blu-ray)
• Bonus Disc - "The Phase One Archives" (Blu-ray)
• Collectible packaging with exclusive memorabilia from the Marvel Cinematic Universe

The listing also includes the below image, which hints that the set might mimic the briefcase that Samuel L. Jackson's Nick Fury uses to transport the Cosmic Cube. Whatever is under the S.H.I.E.L.D. cloth, though, is said to be revealed on July 15th.

After seeing the movie the first time I told the wife that I was going to buy the "Super Duper" version when it came out. This isn't what I was thinking about, but WOW! I already have all the movies except Iron Man 2 so I doubt I would end up getting this. Of course if the price is right I could change my mind.

Wow, that is quite the set, will be interested to see what the cost is when it comes out, as I might be interested.

Not gonna double dip. I already own all the films except for Avengers and that's one I wouldn't mind having a special edition version but I'll probably just settle for the regular. I rarely ever actually watch the special features on discs more than once anyway.

Kevin

I haven't bought the Blu-Rays of most of these yet, so I'll likely be buying this mega-set.  :)

Seems awesome

Just saw this tonight.  The whole family enjoyed it. 
I don't know much of any of the back stories - so I think I missed a bit - and have a few questions:
[spoiler]Why did Cap give the $10 to Fury?  Did they have some sort of a bet from an earlier movie?

Who was that at the end of the movie?  During the credits - they played a short extra clip.

Thanks[/spoiler]

[spoiler] Yes, Fury bet him ten that he could still shock him. and Thanos was the bad guy. [/spoiler]

Blu-Ray trailer!  I like the way they cut this together.

Just looked at the UK version and it is terrible for special features. Boo.

Some logos and release dates of the solo sequels...cool titles!

Hmm, interesting.  Isn't the Winter Soldier actually Bucky in the Cap comics?

Yeah, that's what Bucky became in the modern era. Wonder if it's going to be someone else as Winter Soldier, or maybe Bucky somehow survived? Or maybe it's just a title! Interesting how a movie is 2 years away and we know the title.... ;)

Yeah - take that JJ & Star Trek crew!

As far as I could tell it will be Bucky and the same actor playing him, Sebastian Stan. Also Zachary Levi is going to be in the Thor 2 movie. He is taking over the roll of Fandral.

Movie and this set is due out September 25th.  I so need to get this special collector's set!

Pretty incredible looking set, for only $140 right now at Rico's link.  All the movies are great too, not a dud in the bunch.

It seems this special set has been canceled.  Guess there were problems getting the cases or something.  Disappointing.

the people that made the prop for the movie sue marvel for using the likeness of the case for the collector edition.


It seems this special set has been canceled.  Guess there were problems getting the cases or something.  Disappointing.

This came out today! My wife bought me the one from Target with the 90 min special disk about the making of the movie franchise. I know Walmart's had a graphic novel with it but I thought I would like the 90 minute special more. Watching this tonight!!

Let me know how that 90 minute disc is.  I'm still kind of trying to decide on which version to buy.

I got the Target 3d Bluray version..it was the same price as the the Bluray/DVD combo $19.99, but it comes with that 90 minute DVD, a digital copy, and the soundtrack. Good deal.

How do they stop you from giving away the digital copy?

I guess they can't, but it can only be redeemed once.

Watched the movie last night and had to finish tonight since my wife had to go in early today and she wanted to watch it with me. It was AWESOME! I watched some of the extra's like all the deleted and extended scenes which were fun to watch. And check out the gag reel, very funny.
I didn't watch the special 90 min disk yet but it covers each Marvel movie starting with Iron Man and ending with Avengers. It has a total of 7 featurettes.
The only thing missing from my home viewing was a better sound system. Visually it was awesome just not the best sound quality.

The 90-minute blu-ray is neat. Kind of a nice history of the Marvel movie universe and how they did it. I loved the "Item 47" short, if that's what a SHIELD TV show is gonna be like, count me in. Very meta. My kids loved the gag reel too, Will..."Coulson! COULSON! You will be AVENGED!" Very funny. The movie itself look incredible, awesome transfer. I have a pretty good sound system and the sound is booming, man. A great demo bluray, especially the battle.

I did watch that Item 47 and thought is was very well done. And it would make a great series.

Got the cool free poster from the offer in the Bluray in the mail today! I love it.

Neat!

Found this cool video using the theme song by "Bad City" from the animated Avengers TV series put together with clips from the movie.  It really works well together.  Love to see them use this song somehow in the next Avengers film.
