I just couldn't be more excited about this movie. Marvel is doing this shit RIGHT.

I thought Thor was going sleeveless? And when are we gonna get a teaser or trailer or something with the HULK in it? Or at least some stills? Since Mark Ruffalo is going the 'motion-capture' route for this film, then he said how realistic the Hulk looks in so many words, I guess vs. plain old CGI. And I understand the SKRULLS are the aliens in this film? But I thought they were more of a villain for the FANTASTIC 4?!

But yeah, you're right, Marvel certainly knows what their doing! (WB 'swipe' intentional. )

[thecolorsblend]

My only real experience with the Skrulls comes from Secret Invasion, and there they were general Marvel baddies. I thought it worked.

[webhead2006]

I too thought skrulls where tied to ff and fox. But looks like marvel was able to keep them in house. I too can't wait to see how hulk looks. But so far things look great. As for thor he probably has both looks for thhe film.

Some Youtube videos but who knows how long they'll work:









In reference to Thor hitting the car with the hammer there are a couple of humorous comments:

Can't wait. More looking forward to this than 'The Dark Knight Rises'.

You ain't kidding! Man, this comes out what, a month or more before the Batman film? I don't have the dates handy. I know the new Spiderman comes out the same month. Anyway, isn't Avengers the film that will start off the summer? If so, TDKR will be following a tough act, that's for sure! And with THE HULKING 200-LB. BANE, Avengers is really gonna be a tough act to follow! I saw over on that CBM site where one of their writers is already doubting Nolan. Why? Because of that scene they're filming where, as he put it, Bane attacking a football stadium in broad daylight! Which he referred to as just, STUPID. In other words, he hasn't doubted Nolan before, but now? Hmmm?!

[webhead2006]

Ya avengers got the prime first weekend of may slot like thor got. Where as tdkr is late july, and the amazing spider-man got the 4th of july slot.

[Apologist Puncher]

I like that Thor's sleeves are there after all. Wasn't too keen on the sleeveless look, but apparently they come & go.

[Apologist Puncher]

I love this scene. So badass......

[thecolorsblend]

^ No bullshit to be found anywhere in there; just a pissed off god of thunder and his hammer.

[thecolorsblend]

Also, is that a camera mounted opposite the flipping car? Seems in the final shot, we may see Thor face the camera, smash the fuck out of the car and then watch it roll toward the camera.

Sounds like awesome on toast to me.

Avengers To Be Released In Australia A Week Ahead Of The U.S. Release Date
Disney has sent a release schedule showing The Avengers being released in Australia on 25 April 2012. This puts it over a week ahead of the US release date of 4 May 2012!


First Australia got Thor first and now they will get to see probably the most awesome collection of superheroes that will ever grace the big screen, over a week before Americans. This is also 2 days before the UK release date of 27 April 2012, making Australia currently the first country that will see The Avengers Assemble. Hey, I guess we're making progress since Thor was released two weeks earlier in Australia. I guess America will slowly catch up to The Land Down-Under as the years pass.

Damn Aussies!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Avengers is an upcoming American superhero film produced by Marvel Studios and distributed by Walt Disney Pictures, based upon the Marvel Comics superhero team of the same name. It is part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, which crosses over several Marvel superhero films including Iron Man (2008), The Incredible Hulk (2008), Iron Man 2 (2010), Thor (2011) and Captain America: The First Avenger (2011). The film is written and directed by Joss Whedon and stars Robert Downey, Jr., Mark Ruffalo, Chris Hemsworth, and Chris Evans. The Avengers is scheduled to be released on May 4, 2012 and tells the story of Nick Fury, director of the peacekeeping organization S.H.I.E.L.D., who recruits Iron Man, Hulk, Thor, and Captain America to save the world from destruction.

Development of The Avengers began when Marvel Studios received a grant from Merrill Lynch in April 2005. After the success of the film Iron Man, Marvel announced that The Avengers would be released in July 2011. With the signing of Scarlett Johansson in March 2009, the film was pushed back for a 2012 release. Whedon was brought on board in April 2010 and rewrote the screenplay that was originally written by Zak Penn. Production began in April 2011 in Albuquerque, New Mexico before moving to Cleveland, Ohio in August.

AP, now that I finally learned how to post a pic, how do you do these moving pics like the one of Jensen Ackles?

They are called "gifs". Just go to Google Images, and type in gifs. And then copy & paste the URL in the "Image" tab.

[thecolorsblend]

It's an animated gif. You'd surround it with (img) and (/img) tags... but swap the parentheses there for [ and ].
