Bwahahaha!

[Holden Attradies]

Does anyone know if Edgar Wright is still planning on doing the Ant Man movie and if so if it is planned to be part of the Marvel cinematic universe? 

@who ever talked about not hearing about the thing at the end of Cap.  I heard it talked up a lot on the radio the few days before, people who had early viewings saying it was "the coolest thing they've done in a Marvel movie at the end".  It kinda got my expectations up for something that was more than just basically an early preview/ad.  It just didn't feel as special as the rest of the ending things have to me...

[Eternally Learning]

Once again, expectations are everything.  I had no idea and walked away thinking it was one of the best.

Can't seem to find a way to embed, but check this link out to see a spy video of Cap and Thor fighting some baddies.

D23 screens Avengers footage!  Unfortunately I haven't found the clip online yet but IGN did have a description:

The scene takes place aboard S.H.I.E.L.D.'s Helicarrier where there's a terse exchange between Fury and Loki (Hiddleston), who is caged inside a hi-tech chamber encased by glass walls. Loki sports much longer hair and an altered green and gold costume from he what he had in Thor. (Indeed, all of the characters have new duds in the film.)

Fury warns Loki that if he tries to escape, or even touches the glass, he'll plummet 30,000 feet to his doom. Fury then opens a portal to reveal the dark and stormy sky outside. Loki remarks that the cage he's in was built for someone different from him -- Hulk.

Loki turns to the surveillance camera, acknowledging those looking on elsewhere aboard the ship: Black Widow, Thor, Cap, Dr. Bruce Banner (Mark Ruffalo) and, at her post, Agent Maria Hill (Smulders). Loki teases Fury on how it must hurt them to have the Tesseract (Cosmic Cube), but to what end? Only to then see what real power is (meaning himself)? Fury glibly tells Loki to let him know if the "real power" would like a magazine while he's in his cell, a very Whedon-esque touch. Banner quips to his teammates about Loki, "Kinda grows on you, doesn't he?"

The sizzle reel footage showed quick flashes of the Avengers in action, specifically shots of what appeared like Cap and Thor clashing as well as a shot of Cap parachuting out of a plane. There was also a brief scene of Tony Stark dressed in a Black Sabbath t-shirt and making himself a drink (of course) as he addresses Loki. Tony runs down who he has on his side: Two master assassins (Widow and Hawkeye), a demigod, and a living legend who more than lives up to his legend. Loki remarks, "We have an army." To which Tony replies, drink in hand, "We have a Hulk." Cut to a close-up of Hulk roaring. The footage ended then, but the nerdgasms continued.

Sounds pretty good to me.  I'm loving the fact that we can already see Whedon's influence in the dialogue and until this article I hadn't considered what a perfect fit Downey's Stark and Whedon would be.

'The Avengers' Movie Art Hits the Web (Photo)

Promotional art for Marvel Studios all-star hero ensemble The Avengers has been making its was onto the Net in recent days, some of it via a Russian site called SpiderMedia.

The art featuring the group shots of the heroes, looking very much as they are portrayed by the actors, has fans all excited.

The idea of seeing all these heroes on the screen at the same time, nay, the very idea that an Avengers movie exists at all, is enough to reduce fans to puddles of quivering nerdy goo.

And if they arent talking about the launch of the New 52s, the reboot of DC Comics whose first issue came out today, all fans seem to debate now on the movie front is which will be bigger and/or which will be better  Avengers or Warners and Christopher Nolans third Batman movie, The Dark Knight Rises.

In case you need a recap, Avengers stars Robert Downey Jr, Chris Hemsworth, Chris Evans, Mark Ruffalo, Scarlett Johansson, and Jeremy Renner, as well as Tom Hiddleston, Stellan Skarsgrd, and Cobie Smulders.

Hits theaters May 4, 2012.

I thought this thread was about a remake of this Avengers.

Oh well, at least I ended up looking at some pictures of Diana Rigg:

Ever since I read the "over the shoulder pose" page (personally I prefer calling it the "tits and ass pose" - way more honest) I see it everywhere.

Is there a problem with that?  BTW:

Her character may actually be a skrull as IMDB lists the actress as playing two roles, one of which is a Skrull agent in the comics.

I'd welcome the Skrulls.

That would give a tiny window to re introduce the Silver Surfer.....
