Looks like it'll be Maria Hill for Fury's sidekick, and they might be casting Cobie Smulders in the role.

Thats a promo piece from somewhere, I dont remember where.

And Cobie Smulder did get cast as Maria Hill, Fury's sidekick in a multi-film deal to play the role, starting with "The Avengers".

Everything looks great except the decision to keep Cap's ears covered. The original promo art had ears visible for the Avengers suit.

Who is the bad guy gonna be?

 

[JonZ]

If you really want to know...


Supposedly the Skrulls, though Loki may be involved too.

You know what's even cooler about those individual posters? They are done in the "puzzle cover" style! Behold:

Click for bigger. There is a noticeable seam between the Black Widow frame and Iron Man (well, noticeable in its original resolution), but I bet that won't be the case on the physical posters.

You know,i'm sooooooo waiting for this.
It seems to me that,budget willing of course,this will be visually orgasmic in terms of effects.
And hopefully,every character will get a chance in the limelight and not end up like an afterthought.
But if the budget isn't on par with the material,then they're just playing Roger Corman's big brother.And we all know how that works out.I'm not
saying this is a bad thing,i was raised on Corman movies.Just saying they're two different beasts.
Maybe not this time as this is the first film to establish the setup of the franchise,but i sincerely wish they'd eventually
put some gigantic crater rock monster tearing the streets apart as ant-size Avengers fly and jump around,like i've seen
on all those comic books of my childhood.

 

[Greg_S_H]

That sounds more like a Fantastic Four cover to me.

 

[montrealfilmguy]

Yes,yes it is.Number 1 of course.
but i should've said more along the lines of any giant-sized being from another galaxy,portal or dimension.
See this very nice gallery of Avengers covers
# 103 (Sentinels )
#129 (Kang the conqueror )
#180 (the monolith )

Samuel L. Jackson is set to reprise his role as S.H.I.E.L.D. Agent Nick Fury in next summer's The Avengers and dropped a few hints to BBC Newsbeat about what fans can expect from his performance.
"I'm actually doing more than I've done in any of the other films," he says, "You don't have to wait until the end of the movie to see me. I'm actually around the whole movie and I do a lot more. I have action scenes and I actually do things to people in this movie."
Jackson goes to on to say that the entire production has been a dream job and that he couldn't be happier sharing the stage with his fellow cast members.
"We're all really good friends," he says, "It's kind of funny to stand around in a room and see everybody. Thor is standing there in his costume. Captain America. Sometime's he's dressed and sometimes he's not. Scarlett [Johansson] is there as Black Widow. Robert Downey is there. He very seldom has his Iron Man costume on when he's just hanging around with his buds. It's just amazing to look around the room and see all of those guys there and go, 'Okay. This is cool.'"

Can't wait

 

[montrealfilmguy]

Just saw Captain America a few days ago and i was thinking if the writers do a good job,then the exchanges between
boy scout Captain and smart mouth Iron man should be fun to watch.
And Spidey should definitely have a cameo crossover and help in the battles.
So Sam Jackson does things to people in this one ?
Big Kahuna burger ? That's some tasty burger there Loki !

 

[Brian Sheffield]

Unfortunately, Sony has the rights to Spider-man so they will not me able to even reference his existence in paramount/disney's Avenger movie.
It would be cool though.

 

[montrealfilmguy]

I'm sure if we're nice and send broads to the right people,it can be done.
And if that don't work,we'll just send those nice Sin City girls to convince them.

[JonZ]

Yea, the footage and pics have been pretty cool. Looks promising.

 

[montrealfilmguy]

That last photo has me giggidy-ing like Glen Quagmire.
It"s the only thought that's going through my mind at this point.
If they can visually make this happen with all the combined heroes on the screen,but not too much a la Armegeddon,where you couldnt really see who was getting pelted by asteroids,or
the first Transformers where you were way too close to the action that you didn't have time to process if you saw a robot arm,a leg or a bolt in the fighting scenes,this should work out.
Although,there is a difference between cowboys inside Nasa suits/mechanical robots,or good old human faces.
They sure did a good job with that in Captain America.

i went searching for more pix and found this lovely page.
Many great photos and 3 videos at the bottom ,one of which is Thor parking his car,the Thor way.

posting,posting
I'm stuck at IBM for the next 12 hours so pretty much surfing for 10..
I knew i could count on Harry Knowles and his cronies for top drooling info...
Now one of the more famous ones is a guy nicknamed Quint and he got to attend some Disney studios event in which he
got an amazing preview of scenes with most of the principal characters.Including a comeback from Stark to Loki that will send shockwaves of
nerdgasms around the world when shown in the film
So yes BIG BIG spoiler filled details to make you bite your nails in waiting till 2012.
Downey is just making it look so easy at being the the coolest motherf....around now.
