    I will remain excited so long as they do not remove Joss Whedon from the director's seat. I was disappointed when they replaced Edward Norton, but The Hulk is such a lame character it doesn't even matter.

    No the hulk is not lame, just misunderstood. it was a shame to see edward Norton not returning as bruce, but the list of names to replace him seem's good, one name in particular (David Tennant)

    I'm not too bothered by replacing Norton, but only because the Hulk movie looked like absolute in the trailers so I decided not to waste my money. Won't complain if they replace him with David Tennant actually.

    But yeah, as much as I am still skeptical of the way they cast Captain America, the movie is being directed by Joss Whedon, and we can still look forward to Robert Downey Jr., Scarlet Johanson and Sam Jackson so it's hard to complain too much. There's also been talk of Jeremy Renner playing Hawkeye I believe which would be pretty cool, so I'd have a hard time complaining about much of the casting.

    I'm definitely excited about this. I have my doubts it will work with this many main characters on one screen, but if anyone can do it Whedon can.

    Hopefully it will be as good as the Iron Man franchise.

    I'd probably have doubts as well if they had to deal with the origin of each character, but since the major ones will already be established before the movie and with Joss in the drivers seat I can't see the ensemble cast really getting in the way. If anyone has experience writing and directing stuff with large casts of characters he does.

    I'm interested in seeing this in 2012, but I'm also wodnering what will Marvel be doing movie wise after that's over. in Iron Man 2 there was a hint of Blank Panther in one of the later scenes. I hope he makes an appearance in some movie or maybe get his own since Wesley been trying since the 90's.


    The cast for this movie is supposed to be

    Iron Man
    Capt. America
    Hulk
    Antman
    and
    Wasp right?

    Witch scene are you talking about?

    And yes the original cast of the Avengers were them, but the Hulk was classed as an anti hero

    I apologize for allowing my opinion to poison the nature of this thread.

    Yeah, I'm looking forward to it. Especially now that Joss Whedon is directing. I friggin' love that man!

    Also, the studio's decision to replace Edward Norton with somebody else was a bit strange.

    Has no one here seen this movie yet?

    I've seen it and it's the best movie Marvel has done since Iron Man, maybe better depending on your prefs. Intense action and funny. Go see it if you haven't.

    I really liked it, there's some great lines and funny moments. Whedon isn't perfect, but when he's on top form, as his script is here, he's very good indeed. Robert Downey Jr is as good as ever, and Mark Ruffalo does really well as Bruce Banner I thought.
