Everybody loves a good team-up, right? It doesn't matter whether it's Spider-Man and Thor, or the Hulk and Daredevil, or D-Man and Yellowjacket....well, scratch that last one. Whatever, the fact remains that we love to see the biggest, baddest superheroes joining together to take on a threat too big to handle alone. In the world of movies, superhero team ups are a rarity. What was the last one? Daredevil and Elektra? And that hardly counts. That's why it's been so cool to see the way Marvel Studios is slowly blending the film worlds of their heroes, whether it be Nick Fury appearing in The Hulk or Captain America's shield on Iron Man's desk. We've known for some time that The Avengers movie was going to happen, but now we get a bit more detail on exactly who will be included on the roster of Earth's Mightiest Heroes straight Kevin Feige, President of Production over at Marvel Studios. He says...
Kevin: I think we know. It’s going to be Iron Man, Thor, Captain America, 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 for sure. SHIELD’s organization for sure. And, again, what’s exciting to me about the Avengers movie are seeing those four characters together and interact with each other. Anywhere from the first issue of the Avengers to Civil War, the dynamic between Steve Rogers and Tony Stark is awesome and fascinating. It brings out sides of the others that won’t be brought out in their own franchises. Throwing Thor into the mix is a whole other thing and I think that will be cool. So to pile in another ten or fifteen…or frankly even four…I think will be too many.
Is the Hulk in it?
Kevin: You know Zack Penn is outlining it as we speak so we’ll see.
I like the idea of using a smaller group for the initial movie, because it really does provide a better opportunity to develop each of these characters. However I wouldn't mind one or two more, y'know? *cough*BlackPanther*cough*
