The Avengers Is Coming Next from Marvel

Marvel Studios has confirmed that it is bringing The Avengers to the big screen. According to The Hollywood Reporter, it will be the next comic that gets theatrical treatment.

The Incredible Hulk's Zak Penn is writing the screenplay. What he is currently trying to figure out is which characters to include in the script. Since 1963, many Marvel heavy-hitters have joined and left the group.

Spider-Man, Wolverine, Iron Man, Captain America, Thor, Ant-Man and Wasp, Hulk, Hawkeye and the Scarlet Witch have all appeared in the comic. The project might be used to help launch Captain America's movie career, which faltered sometime back with a film by Albert Pyun.

The search for a director is about to begin. Casting is another concern. It is very possible that Robert Downey Jr. might join the project as Iron Man, and Eric Roth could also reprise his role as The Incredible Hulk. That would be a fun movie, wouldn't it?

    OK, it's time for Hollywood to stop bleeding the comic book section dry for ideas. I'm all for comic book movies, but it should be limited to the very popular (Spiderman, X-men), and the artistis pieces (Sin City). There are exceptions to the rule of course, like Blade, Punisher, and a few others, but those storys would work well out of the comic book contest. I look for this movie to be a joke among comic book movies.

    I think the idea sucks. The mix em up things is good for comics but not for movies. Freddy vs. Jason, Alien vs. Predator. What more can I say?

    WOW unbelievable, I loved the cartoon movies both the first and the 2nd. Imagine how it will be as a real movie, and imagine how many spinoffs they will make out of this.

    I can't wait to see Thor on the big screen. I heared there is a movie for him on 2009 or something. Boy how i'm gonna enjoy my next 5 years
