Avengers(Possible compilation? continuation?) Movie Discussion
First off, let me say that the incredible Hulk kicks so much ass. Great movie.
Second, I know that some of you out there have already been thinking about this. You may or may not be a member of this site, but I know that there are. Marvel is up to something big. Bigger than anything they've done as of yet. they're actually strung together Iron Man and The Hulk! this is only the beginning though. More will come, all being connected by the same thread. and that thread is "The Avengers."
Most of you will know of the iron man tidbit after the credits. This is what got a lot of people thinking, probably.
Iron Man:
After the credits roll, we find Tony Stark returns to his home, finding to his surprise, that the Director of SHIELD is there waiting.
Movie ends with Nick Fury mentioning the Avengers prodject.
By itself, not all that much. Sign posting a sequal to be sure. But after seeing the ending of the Hulk, this got me to thinking.
The Incredible Hulk
General Ross sits in a bar, drinking his sorrows away.
Who should walk in but Tony Stark, finding the General in such a pitiful state.
They exchange verbal abuse, as to their nature, and ends with Tony saying that he needs Ross's help putting together a "team."
After seeing this, I just started laughing. Because I thought that this can only lead to one thing. Marvel is Bringing the Avengers to the cinematic screens in a way Never thought possible. Creating movies about the original members of the Avengers, then bringing it to a glorious movie adventure!
However, I have reason to believe that not everybody in the original Avengers will make it to the big screens before the Movie. Some of them were strictly small time, and never grew in popularity, such as the ant man and the wasp. The full roster was:
Iron Man
The Hulk
Ant-Man
The Wasp
Thor
Captain America(Replaced Hulk on team in issue four of the original series. Soon became the identifying figure)
I have reason to doubt that they would do movies on the Ant-man and Wasp(But still possible), but I think we can look forward to a movie of Thor and Captain America. Maybe one possible ending of a captain america movie is where they finaly find him trapped in the ice, like they did in the original run?
I don't know for sure what Marvel has planned, but one thing's for sure. They are doing it in a big way. and they've already got two of the original team down. They're probably going to do the rest in the next two years or so, if they're gonna do what I think they're going to at all.
Anybody have thoughts?
