Avengers Movie Line-Up Announced

[The Toyroom]

The tentative line-up so far apparently is:
Iron Man, Thor, Captain America and....Nick Fury. Possibly a "member of the Hulk Universe" as well as Black Widow. No mention of Ant-Man or the Wasp or anyone else as of yet....

Seriously...Nick Fury as an actual MEMBER...Nick Fury? Really?

[CaptainTrenchcoat]

Cool line-up. Maybe Fury will be the team leader? Not sure about him actually running around and stuff. Hopefully they will add some 2nd stringers too. Could lead into spin-off films for them.

I bat Fury will run them like in the animated movies

[censy]

Bummer. I would like at least one of the Pym’s.

What I read was that Fury will be in the movie (Jackson signed on with Marvel for nine movies including Avengers and any sequels). He'll be in the film(s), but I didn't get that it would be as a team member. Confirmed team members are Iron Man, Captain America, Hulk and Thor based on what I read.

I guess Favreau is Executive Producer for the film and based on his love and care with Iron Man, I have a bit of confidence that this movie will be good. (I guess he confirmed Iron Man 3 at ComicCon?Jon Favreau Confirms Iron Man 3 | WorstPreviews.com)

This is what I just read....

producer Kevin Feige on the lineup for the upcoming Avengers film, and while things aren’t set in stone yet, Feige was surprisingly firm about who will make the cut:

I think it’s going to be Iron Man and Thor, Captain America and Nick Fury. I think it’s safe to assume that there will be some members of the Hulk universe in the film as well. In terms of the additional I think Black Widow, sure. The SHIELD organization for sure. What’s exciting, for me, about The Avengers movie is seeing those four characters interact with each other. I think anywhere from the first issues of The Avengers to Civil War the dynamic between Steve Rogers and Tony Stark is just awesome, it’s fascinating. It brings out sides in others that won’t be brought out in the other franchises. Going forward with the mix is a whole other thing, I think it will be cool. So to pile on another 15 or 10, frankly more than four would be too many.

The Same Jackson as Fury thing...totally brings down any excitement I could muster for this Movie.

you were hoping for the Hof?

This is what I just read....

I can see him being in the movie based on that report, but I can't read anything into about him being part of the team, an actual Avenger. However, he did show up at the end of Iron Man to recruit Tony Stark, so I guess they may be where they are going with this.

[BlackKnight]

They Need Hawkeye.

[Earth 2 Chris]

If they get Cap right, and Downey is in it as Iron Man, they can have the other Avengers be Gilgamesh and Dr. Druid for all I care!

I am definitely looking forward to these, I hate the wait , but if they are done well I'm okay with it.

[Megospidey]

Maybe Fury will be the team leader?

Why do they think they need Fury when they have Cap? I don't understand this decision either. Put some REAL Avengers in there.

I'm a Nick Fury fan to be sure...but not as an Avenger.

They don't need fury they need name recognition (for non com fans) they need Samuel L Jackson

[The Toyroom]

They're trying to "Ultimatize" this movie IMO....that's why Fury will probably play a big role ala "The Ultimates" comic. Personally I'd rather see Hank Pym in some form and the Wasp.

There needs to be a chick in this flick....I'm not so sold on the movie version of the Black Widow being an Avenger. I know Iron Man 2 isn't done yet but it's my understanding that she's just a very good spy with no powers so I don't think that's what Marvel's premiere team needs in its first movie outing.

There's some speculation that the Hulk universe member could be a She-Hulk, thus adding a female quotient to the film.
