My guess is that we'll see some inclusion or reference to Hank Pym. I'm hoping with the robot story line laid out in Iron Man 2 and Howard Stark's role in creating Captain America's shield... they would tie that all together with Ultron making an appearance. My wishfulDifferent studios so it unfortunately won't happen. Sony still owns the Spiderman movie rights, not Marvel. I think the Kree-Skrull war makes the next logical film with the Skrull being introduced in this one. Then Thanos coming in for #3.I doubt it happens but that's an excellent idea.Trailer looks fun as heck, can't wait for this! If it was up to me, the Skrull would be the villains for this film and then Thanos would show up in part 2 with the Avengers recruiting the kid from the new Spiderman movie that comes out next year.
There's also going to be more Iron Man, Thor, and Captain America solo films, so plenty of opportunity to lay the foundation for great Avengers stories.

I'd guess that scene is when Thor first returns to Earth and that Cap was sent there to recruit him - but they of course have to battle it out briefly, and for no apparent reason, before coming to terms.

That or Capt A slept with Thor's wife.

Howard Stark's role in Captain America seems, to me, transparently designed to create Cap/Iron Man drama. A heartbroken Peggy Carter marries Stark, a man she doesn't love. We get Tony Stark daddy issues and Cap "this spoiled brat is the result of the life I never got" drama. I'd be genuinely surprised if this isn't a subplot.There was an Ant-Man property in development when they first decided to do Avengers, but they scrapped it.EDIT: I guess a brief clip in Iron Man 2 uses Tony's canonical mother's first name, so my theory is unlikely. Wouldn't put it past them to ignore that, but they seem to have been planning this for a while.I'm hoping with the robot story line laid out in Iron Man 2 and Howard Stark's role in creating Captain America's shield... they would tie that all together with Ultron making an appearance.

Natalie Portman? I'd take a Mjolnir hit for that.

If it is indeed the Skrulls as the alien invading race then either Thor or Cap could be a Skrull.

The thing I'm wondering about is how they're going to integrate "MFer" into Nick Fury's dialog.

They get one "F" bomb if they want it, but it can't involve a "MF" or any reference to the action.

I just finished re-watching the entire first season of Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes again. New episodes start in April, which will be a nice lead up to the film.

i thought there was a lot of talk about a Civil War movie, is that not the case anymore? i think that storyline would play out well in a movie, and i don't know if they can keep the costs down enough or hold the audience's attn. for too many Avengers moviesMy guess is that we'll see some inclusion or reference to Hank Pym.

The Civil War is a deeply complicated story line in the Marvel universe containing multiple cross overs. There is no way they could touch it in a single film. The Kree-Skrull war isn't a civil war but it is slightly less complicated and I could see them trying to cram most of it into a single film but I think it would be a mistake.I honestly have no idea where they are going with this film but I have implicit trust in Joss Whedon to deliver a quality product.i thought there was a lot of talk about a Civil War movie, is that not the case anymore? i think that storyline would play out well in a movie, and i don't know if they can keep the costs down enough or hold the audience's attn. for too many Avengers moviesMy guess is that we'll see some inclusion or reference to Hank Pym.

Yeah, to do the Civil War right (and I think it would be awesome) Marvel studios would have to own the rights to all of the major properties - Spider-Man, X-Men, Fantastic Four, that are currently held by other studios.

That's probably the go to pool. There's lots of talk about Enchantress and Executioner as possible Thor 2 villains.

He appears to fall into the closing wormhole after the destruction of the Rainbow Bridge observatory. Thor, Odin and the rest of the Asgardians think he's dead, but he established in an earlier conversation with Heimdall that he knows of other paths between the worlds. He also appears in the after-credits scene of Thor, influencing or possessing Dr. Selvig (Stellen Skarsgard).

It generally takes more than Thor or Hulk to deal with Thanos or Ultron. But anyone less than that level of bad guy would get crushed.

Captain America's suit looks a little weird to me. And Hawkeye and Black widow reloading their bow and gun just seems out of place amongst the super heroes.

Love the Hulk catching Iron Man. And, to me anyway, Iron Man's movement looks really good.

Agree about Cap's suit but I'll cope. I think it's interesting they went with Hawkeye and Black Widow instead of Hank Pym and Wasp (original Avengers). I think the idea is to have some non-powered heroes under the misguided notion that they are somehow more relatable to the audience.Either way I hope this is as awesome as I hope it is.
