"...if we don't get it right, it's really going to suck. It has to be the crowning blow of Marvel's best and brightest, because it's the hardest thing to get right. It's tough to spin all the plates for one of these characters,' Downey said.
When asked if Iron Man 2 will start setting up his role in The Avengers, Downey Jr. added this.
"It seems natural that it would at least introduce that factor. My inclination is to bring it another step. The danger you run with colliding all these worlds is that Jon was very certain that Iron Man should be set in a very realistic way. Nothing that happened in Iron Man is really outside the realm of possibility. Once you start talking about Valhalla and supersized super soldiers and jolly green giants, it warrants much further discussion."

I think Marvel Studios will get it right. From what we've already seen in Iron Man and The Incredible Hulk, and from what appears to be looking good in Punisher: War Zone and Wolverine it's obvious that they're putting out the best work possible.. It's interesting to see how The Avengers will work out because in Hollywood movie stars usually clash as to who is the star of the movie, not many actors wanna take the co-star role but both RDJ and Edward Norton are humble enough in my opinion to do so. Which is why I think casting for the remaining roles is VERY important.

He's right, they will need a convincing storyline to make it not strange and bizarre like the plot of MK vs DC Universe lol..
