The Avengers (May 4, 2012)

Cinematic Universe Timeline/References:

SPOILER: show

Captain America
- Steve Rogers becomes the titular super soldier who battles Red Skull. Super-Soldier Serum, Odin's Vault, Cosmic Cube, Stark Expo established. Cap defeats Red Skull and is lost in the frozen north. Howard Stark retrieves the Cosmic Cube. Decades later, Cap awakes in the present and meets Nick Fury. He missed a date. Nick Fury meets him later to discuss a mission to save the world.

Iron Man
- Tony Stark, talented son of Howard Stark, is taken hostage and forced to support his heart with a miniaturized Arc Reactor. He becomes Iron Man and defeats his former business partner gone mad. Captain America shield replica seen in Stark's workhouse, Agent Coulson introduced. Stark catches the attention of SHIELD. Nick Fury announces the Avengers Initiative.

Iron Man 2
- Tony Stark must confront both his failing heart, Whiplash, and rival Justin Hammer. After having a drunken meltdown, SHIELD intervenes and presents him with Howard Stark's unfinished concept for a new element (possible replication of the Cosmic Cube). Agent Coulson is reassigned to New Mexico. Stark defeats Whiplash with the help of War Machine, but loses the confidence of Nick Fury. He remains on the "Super Secret Boyband" as a (presumably technical/weapons) consultant. Incredible Hulk's college battle occurs during Stark and Fury's last meeting. In New Mexico, Agent Coulson finds a hammer in a crater.

The Incredible Hulk
- Bruce Banner lives on the run from General Ross and his unit. As the Hulk, he ignites a rivalry with aging soldier Blonsky. Banner meets with Betty Ross as he comes closer to discovering a cure for his condition. Blonsky uses what's left of the Super Soldier Serum to battle Hulk, but is defeated in the college battle. After the battle, Hulk roars toward a mountain region where a thunder storm has developed. Later Blonsky adds Gamma Radiation to his condition and becomes the Abomination, wrecking havoc. Hulk battles Abomination and defeats him. He returns on the run, losing his chance to be cured, but also appears to have controlled the transformations. Tony Stark meets Ross in a bar and reveals the Avengers Initiative, presumably in regard to the Hulk.

Thor
- In one of the Nine Realms of the universe, Asgard, Thor nearly becomes king before Frost Giants reignite an old conflict. Disobeying his father (and at the tacit behest of his brother Loki), Thor leads a botched operation that angers his father, Odin. He his banished to Midgard - Earth, where he meets Jane Foster and her colleagues. SHIELD has surrounded Mjonir and Thor is powerless, while Loki enacts his plan to rule Asgard and destroy the Frost Giants out of shame, jealousy, and general madness. Agent Coulson calls off Hawkeye and allows Thor to interact with Mjornir, to no effect. Thor begins to accept his new life. Sif and The Warrior's Three seek out Thor on Earth when they find Loki to be insane, and Loki sends the Destroyer. After nearly dying protecting his friends, Thor regains Mjonir and defeats the armor. He offers his allegiance to SHIELD before returning home to defeat Loki and destroy the Rainbow Bridge. Nick Fury meets with Jane's colleague and shows him the Cosmic Cube, but it seems Loki has possessed the scientist.

Mark Ruffalo as Hulk?

I'm not really a fan of comic books or comic book movies, but I'll see it just because.

He's Bruce Banner and the Hulk (as motion capture, the first to play both parts).

Thor seems to be a hot commodity.

Wow, got all excited because I thought there'd actually be one or two shots from the movie, either way that was still mad epic and 'I just filled the cup'.

This movie is gonna be so fucking awesome! Seriously, as a life-long Marvel fanatic (18 years and counting) if I die the day after I see this movie, I will die a happy man.

And awesome cast as well. Not a big fan of Mark Ruffalo, but I guess he's a big enough name to fill the role. :y:

Gonna have a hard time picturing Chris Evans as Cap since he was the Human Torch in Fantastic 4.

He's a good Cap. Definitely has 'presence' now. I'd follow him to war.

Not Edward Norton as Hulk? What is he doing that is so important?

Never seen Fantastic 4, so if I ever do I will probably have the opposite problem. Like "Why is Captain America the Human Torch"?

I'm really interested to see what Hawkeye looks like.

The need Drew Struzan to do a classic poster for this too, instead of just slapping something together with all the characters like an internet photoshop.

Marvel just didn't ask him back. He was open to returning, but they decided to replace him for whatever reason.

I actually don't remember all the details, but that's not the whole story. There was some difficulty from his end at some point

Joss Whedon = ratings!

Joss Whedon = character dying at the climax of the movie in a "shock" manner that if you blink you will miss!

- Captain America's suit is updated, Evans can move around easier this time (it was metioned that the suit in the upcoming movie is purpously cumbersome).

- Tom Hiddleson is very happy that Loki's plans are bigger, adding more fuel to the accepted idea that he is indeed the main villain... or at least one of the major players.

- Scarlette Johansson will sport shorter hair than her IM2 look, but it's just has hot red as before.

- Nick Fury will have an updated look as well.

- Kevin Feige gave a not-so-subtle tidbit that Avengers will the be the start of a 'team-up franchise'. Perhaps like the comic, the members will be rotated and times feature entirely different teams. This is a very good idea on Marvel's part.

I hope we get something at one of the Comic-Cons coming up.

Captain America returns in some new duds:

Why does he have so many zippers?

Does he have cocks everywhere?

he hangs different directions based on his mood. Rather than upset his penis, he made zippers on either side as to accommodate his super soldier dong

It's the new trend. It was pouches and shoulder pads that did nothing. Not it's zippers.

Holy shit the new trailer is FUCKING AWESOME.

Is it online anywhere?

Oh, think I found it at last. Sorry for the shit quality:

<iframe width="425" height="349" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/hJ7o1yFnPFU" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

However, by the time anyone clicks on this it'll probably have been taken down.

Best quality so far, for an off-screen.

Gay.

Other one's awesome, tho.

Looks like the zipper thing is uniform. Except for Iron Man and Thor, I guess.

I'm telling you, it's the new "Shoulder pads and pouches."

Also, they'll find a way to give Iron Man and Thor zippers.

I know this is being shot right now in Cleveland, trying to get up there and see some of the shoot.

Just noticed Hulk is naked in that pic at the top of the page.

His interest probably wasn't the only thing that doubled when he saw it

I don't think my interest could be any higher than having <s>Thor</s> Black Widow in it.

hope Hulk's cock is like a Dr. Manhattan situation
