So it's a known thing that Loki is the Big Bad along with the Cosmic Cube, which is confirmed by the clip.
But I'm thinking, come on, you can't just have Loki as the bad guy. And yet you don't want to do a lot of introductions of bad guys, either--that'll slow the movie down a lot.
Rumor has it that the other bad guys are the Skrulls, which I find pretty ho-hum, because I can see how the script's going to go--Avengers have to learn enough about each other that they can actually tell the difference between a Skrull version and the real deal, etc.
On the other hand, none of the characters have a Rogues' Gallery from their own films except for Thor due to the propensity of superhero-movies to kill off villains.

I'm hoping they keep up with the Ultimates interpretation, and have him basically a re skinned version of bullseye. In the Comic he used the bow for some specialty purposes, but also would just blow people away with a gun.

I would go nuts over a live action version of Ultimates 1 and 2. I think they should have skipped the Thor movie and done the whole is he / isn't he mystery in the Avengers like they did in Ultimates.

I wouldn't be surprised to see the Avengers fighting the Hulk for at least part of the movie. |

Yeah, fighting the hulk would be a good starter battle where they could really show off since the hulk is well, pretty BA

Oh, that would be good. See Thor stand toe to toe with the Hulk...nerdgasm. Plus, Banner would fill the role of the team scientist (Stark's an engineer). Although Hawkeye might be a bit dismayed when the Hulk shoves his bow sideways up his arse.

I remember that. To be fair, it was obviously a made for TV movie, and it was kinda cool that they made one about Hulk and Thor instead of, you know, Cagney & Lacey or whatever.

I guess your going to be sad when it's Hawkeye who wins the fight by shooting the arrow full of serum that turns Banner back to normal, just as he's about to pound one of the avengers into paste.  |

I hope they take the part from Ultimates where the Hulk goes apeshit and eats the alien leader because Cap told him he overheard the aliens say the Hulk was gay.

Man, I was just thinking that I hope they ignore most of the bullshit in the first series of Ultimates, like the "You think this 'A' stands for France?" and so on. Course all that looks pretty good compared to the Loeb stuff later on with the Blob cannibalizing the Wasp, etc. I think they've already taken most of the good stuff from the Ultimates and used it for some fresh angles on the standard Marvel characters.

I would be happier if they adapted Wasp's tactic for stopping Hulk in the first run for Black Widow. |

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/08/21/the-avengers-d23-panel-clips_n_932378.htmlPress conference with new scene released. Dont think its online yet. A star-studded cast consisting of Robert Downey, Jr. (Iron Man), Chris Hemsworth (Thor), Jeremy Renner (Hawkeye), Scarlett Johansson (Black Widow), Cobie Smulders (S.H.I.E.L.D Agent Maria Hill) and Tom Hiddleston (the evil Loki) participated in a panel discussion about the Joss Whedon-directed Marvel superhero teamup, and presented footage that debuted two brand new action scenes.
A number of outlets on hand summed up the scenes, which also featured Samuel L. Jackson (Nick Fury), Chris Evans (Captain America) and Mark Ruffalo (The Hulk), all of whom were not in attendance.
The footage begins with Loki entering a big round cage with glass walls. Behind him doors with pneumatic locks seal behind him and we see Nick Fury walking over to a control panel. Fury says, "In case it's unclear, if you try to escape, if you so much as scratch that glass..." Fury presses a button and a huge hole opens beneath the cell. Inside the hole you can see dark clouds and lightning - they are in the helicarrier. Nick Fury continues "that's 30,000 feet straight down a stainless steel tube." Never changing expression, Loki compliments Fury on his jail, calling it "an impressive cage" and recognizing that it wasn't built for him... Fury responds that it's built for something a lot stronger. Loki understands, saying "a mindless beast makes play he's still a man," referring to Hulk.

Given the ego of the actors already in the movie, I think throwing Eddie Norton into it would have created an ego black hole that would have collapsed in on itself and turned them all into really nice, easy going people.

According to the wiki, Lou Ferrigno is the voice of the Hulk. Nice homage.

Graaaah, the edit for the backing music on that video did my head in. It's not a track designed to be cut and pasted like that...

Eh, it still gave me a happy-pants feeling. Excellent choice of music, regardless of editing. |

He did the grunts and roars and iconic "Hulk smash!!!" in the Ed Norton movie too.  |

Oh yeahhhhhh! More Iron Man, more Thor! Still not that crazy to see the Hulk in, but I can certainly stand SJ and Jeremy Renner.
I also think Loki is a good choice of villain (wasn't he the first one in the comics anyway? Pretty sure), Tom Huddleston(sp?) is really, really good. I mean, I knew Loki was the big bad in "Thor" but he still generated empathy.

My thoughts exactly. I thought Banner was supposed to be nerdy/scrawny when he's not Hulk-ed out? Shia Labeouf?  |
