Mokong Posted August 4, 2011 Posted August 4, 2011 Yeah it's such a shame Marvel couldn't get back the film right to Spiderman and other films. Spiderman would have been perfect what with it being rebooted, it could have been rebooted into the Marvel Film Universe. Marvel should have put a clause in the Film Rights contracts that they can take the rights/characters back if they so choose On the talk of Ant-man. What is going on there? I thought at the start of this whole Avengers thing that Ant-Man was meant to appear in the first Avengers film along with Doc Strange and some others? And I remember something about they were planning to make short films for those characters and play them at the start of the likes of Iron Man/Thor/Cap.... but then they decided not to? Did I imagine all that or was that originally the plan and then they decided it was too much for one film and will save for an Avengers sequel?
Retro_Link Posted August 4, 2011 Author Posted August 4, 2011 Oh god... Dr Strange doesn't show up in The Avengers does he?... on the team ever? IGN reported the other day that work on that movie may well be ramping up... I really don't like the look of the character/want him ruining the look of The Avengers.
Happenstance Posted August 4, 2011 Posted August 4, 2011 Dr Strange is on the New Avengers at the moment, the more street level team.
Mokong Posted August 4, 2011 Posted August 4, 2011 See no mention of it on IMDB, but anyone know/think General Ross will appear in The Avengers? Considering it was him Tony met with in the after-credits scene of The Incredible Hulk?
Happenstance Posted August 4, 2011 Posted August 4, 2011 I haven't heard anything about him appearing
ReZourceman Posted August 4, 2011 Posted August 4, 2011 Some lucky fella just bought my Hawkeye t-shirt! Very happy as I was happy with that design.
Dan_Dare Posted August 4, 2011 Posted August 4, 2011 Quite..want..must not...pay Jamieson...may...result in...Comedy Rainbow budget...
The Peeps Posted August 4, 2011 Posted August 4, 2011 That's a really cool shirt, ReZ. If I had any interest in Hawkeye I'd definitely get it ;P
Happenstance Posted August 21, 2011 Posted August 21, 2011 Avengers footage shown: The pound of a hammer against shield. The crackle of lightning. The wit of Tony Stark. And the roar of Hulk. Today, in a packed arena at the D23 Expo, a frenzied audience salivating to see some of their favorite superheroes assembled felt the crushing blow of The Avengers. At the tail-end of a lengthy Disney feature film preview, Marvel made its presence known as the studio's Kevin Feige took to the stage to show off an estimated four minutes of footage. Some of it seen in that post-credits teaser featured on prints of Captain America, but most of it fresh. Marvel's presentation began with a frenetic intro reel piecing together clips from Iron Man, Iron Man 2, Thor, The Incredible Hulk and Captain America. It was a montage of key scenes that best encapsulate the core of the characters and how their worlds collide. The reel culminates in a moment we're familiar with: Samuel L. Jackson as Nick Fury saying, "I'm here to talk about the Avengers initiative." With that, the crowd went bonkers. Feige revealed writer-director Joss Whedon is, at the time of this writing, two weeks out from wrapping The Avengers and he had cobbled together a special preview for D23. The lights dimmed and the following played out... Loki (Tom Hiddleston) takes his place in a prison of glass and metal. We presume he's on the S.H.I.E.L.D. Hellicarrier. Loki assesses his surroundings, but doesn't appear impressed. More amused. Nick Fury types away on a keypad nearby, threatening that if Loki even touches the glass, he'll meet a certain doom. But again, Loki isn't deterred by this. He's confident this prison won't hold him. Fury begs to differ, saying it was built to hold something powerful. "You threaten my world with war. Steal a force you can't control. You have made me desperate," Fury says. Hinting, of course, to the Tesseract (the Cosmic Cube) seen in Captain America. Loki and Fury continue their tête-à -tête and we find that the Avengers have been assembled in another room and they're listening in. Elsewhere on the Helicarrier, we get a glimpse of Maria Hill (Cobie Smulders), also monitoring the Fury/Loki encounter. This extended scene flows well; the dialogue has a tight rhythm as these two large personalities, separated by glass, face one another. The intensity palpable. One gets the sense if Loki wants out... he'll get the hell out. But there's something else simmering in his motivations and, of course, we don't know what it is, because this scene gives way to a second teaser trailer, of sorts. Enticing imagery that flies by furiously: A S.H.I.E.L.D. jet soars towards a city. Thor raises his hammer to the sky. Hawkeye taking aim with his bow and arrow. Loki standing on the back of a military vehicle (at least that's what it looked like, it flew by). Steve Rogers stands before a hi-tech closet. The doors pull away to reveal his revamped costume. Thor slams his hammer down on the shield of a crouching Captain America (training perhaps?). This is all inter-cut with Tony Stark, standing behind a bar making a drink, as he makes an Avengers "roll call": Two highly trained assassins, a "Demigod," an American legend... We realize he's doing this for Loki, who is standing in the room with him. Loki responds to this with, "I have an army." Stark quickly shoots back, "We have a Hulk." The presentation ends with a close-up shot of Mark Ruffalo's Hulk snarling at the camera, then, The Avengers logo slams onto the screen. The footage was terrific, however, it shies away from playing on the scope of the story. Yes, there's action. But the teaser is contained to its superheroes only, never once giving us a glimpse at some of the city-wide carnage we've been seeing in leaked spy videos (likely because that footage isn't finished yet, of course). Needless to say, a real crowd-pleaser packed with ambition and looking real sharp. When the lights came back up, Feige returned to the stage to bring out Hiddleston, Smulders, Jeremy Renner, Scarlett Johansson, Chris Hemsworth and Robert Downey, Jr. Downey took the mic – the only actor of the bunch to say anything - to rile up an already buzzing crowd. "We're happy to visit our parents here in Anaheim!" he enthused (referring to Disney). "Who wants to see that again?" The audience cheered, the lights went down... and the preview exploded onto the screen one more time. May 4, 2012 couldn't get here soon enough. http://www.superherohype.com/news/articles/168247-d23-expo-the-avengers-footage-screened I just hope the footage gets released online soon, even just leaked if we have to but I wanna see it!
Mokong Posted August 22, 2011 Posted August 22, 2011 This part alone just ramms up my hype levels Avengers footage shown: Loki responds to this with, "I have an army." Stark quickly shoots back, "We have a Hulk." I can full envision both actors/characters having that convo with Downey Jr. delivering his perfectly as Tony Stark. Why must we wait till May next year
Retro_Link Posted August 26, 2011 Author Posted August 26, 2011 IGN video, interviewing Avengers cast!! http://uk.ign.com/videos/2011/08/22/the-avengers-d23-press-line So excited!! Also Scarlett and Cobie..... HOT!!
Murr Posted September 5, 2011 Posted September 5, 2011 Load of Avengers Images The Captain America outfit looks pretty.... meh I assume it'll look alot better in motion and in the film, but it looks pretty poor compared to the First Avenger outfit we saw this summer. looks like one of the costumes you can buy in Argos..
Dan_Dare Posted September 5, 2011 Posted September 5, 2011 As is clearly the case with every set shot, every preview etc from every film ever made: The suit will not look like that in motion.
Retro_Link Posted September 5, 2011 Author Posted September 5, 2011 I predict Scarlets butt will still look that good in motion! :p
Dan_Dare Posted September 8, 2011 Posted September 8, 2011 Once more with feeling: Tom Hiddleston is so perfect as Loki that I'm starting to think that he actually is Loki, and this is all some kind of elaborate ruse.
Happenstance Posted September 9, 2011 Posted September 9, 2011 Looks like War Machine is once again getting recast for Iron man 3:
Happenstance Posted September 19, 2011 Posted September 19, 2011 Footage of Cancelled Avengers game Shame it got cancelled, I probably would have bought that
Mokong Posted September 19, 2011 Posted September 19, 2011 SO does seeing the Skrull in this game mean we can call them confirmed at the films badguys? Also a bit odd seeing a Super Skrull using the powers of Wolverine and the Fantastic Four.... surely with all the copyright issues they wouldn't be able to do that in the film (and I would have imagined in any game tie-in's too?)
