THE AVENGERS SFX Supervisor Reportedly Fired Due To Recent Interview Comments?

Special effects supervisor of Hydraulx,Chris Wells,who recently offered up praise for a early screening of Marvel's The Avenger,has reportedly been fired for debunking a long-time rumor! DCMarvelFreshman - 2/17/2012

Just last Wednesday, Starburst Magazine revealed an interview excerpt with Chris Wells, special effects supervisor of Hydraulx, who've contributed to films such as Captain America: The First Avenger, the X-Men franchise, and Marvel's Joss Whedon-directed flick The Avengers; the highlight of the interview.

Anyhow, during the interview Wells praised a rough cut of the film, it's opening sequence, which his Hydraulx team worked on, and he also debunked rumors that Captain America foe 'Red Skull' would be appearing in the summer blockbuster. Well, according to Looper helmer Rian Johnson, it seems that debunk cost Wells his job.

Special thanks to Twitter's @TorturedXGenius for the heads up. Well, fellow CBM fanboys, what do you think?

STOKED!!!!!

Ditto, sir.

[webhead2006]

3rd for me so can't wait for may to get here. Definately going to make sure I don't have to work on may 3rd or 4th to early. So I can go to midnight screening.

[non_amos]

I probably won't make it to the midnight screening but I at least hope to see it opening day. Fingers crossed. I'm supposed to go with my cousin & his son (who's big into superheroes) but my cousin's Dad/my uncle is in really bad health so I don't know what May will bring. Hopefully I at least go that weekend. If all else fails I might have to drag the wife along!

There's nothing at all wrong with that poster. So freaking cool.

[webhead2006]

Definately wall worthy poster.

[non_amos]

The poster is cool & all but what happened to the Hulk?! It appears that Bruce Banner is in it instead. What's up with that?

[webhead2006]

That poster probably wanted to showcase the actors.

I saw that earlier. I just wonder what the new trailer is gonna be. Perhaps more HULK since some screenshots are starting to show up like the one AP posted the other day? I want this thing to be such a slam dunk that even in July people are saying 'Bat-who?!' No offense to the real Batman of course. Mike, you'll always be the man!

The Hulk catching Iron Man is worth the price of admission alone! Which leads me to a point:



THE DARK KNIGHT RISES

The Hulk catching Iron Man is worth the price of admission alone! Which leads me to a point:

Yep. I also really dug Jules Fury's little exchange with Loki.

Aren't the Apologists opposed for some reason or another to the Avengers? "Multiple supeheroes onscreen together won't work in live action" or something? If any of them have seen this trailer yet, I wonder what they're thinking now.

THE DARK KNIGHT RISES

R.I.P.

That movie is so far off my radar at this point that I have to keep reminding myself it's coming this summer too.
