Rather than strictly sticking with the current lineup that gave Marvel success, the studio is carrying forward with additional superheroes getting the film treatment. The Marvel movie universe just continues to expand.
The Avengers ended with a dramatic shot of Thanos, a major villain in the Marvel Universe. So it’s a given that he would play a major role in the second movie, right? It wasn’t entirely the case.
At a recent film festival it became natural for people to ask Joss Whedon questions about his much-anticipated Marvel movie The Avengers. Who could blame them? It’s a film that’s two months away and consists of an ensemble cast of big names; a movie that Marvel Studios has built up to with its prior projects.
The man, the myth, the legend Agent Phil Coulson stars in another Marvel short.
And I am convinced that actor Clark Gregg should have his own feature-length film as Coulson.
The new trailer for Marvel’s Captain America: The First Avenger is out online. Focusing on Chris Evans as Steve Rogers, it summarizes Rogers as a scrawny kid who feels it’s his duty to serve his country. Despite his small stature, Rogers displays bravery and longs to fight for a cause bigger than himself — which are traits that help select him for a serum that transforms him into Captain America. And as a hero, Rogers remains humble and inspirational.
We’re approaching Marvel’s Captain America: The First Avenger starring Chris Evans — and more TV spots are surfacing.
My excitement for the film is building. July 22 cannot come soon enough.
Two pictures from Marvel Studios’ Captain America: The First Avenger are circulating on the net. One features Chris Evans in the USO version of Captain America’s costume. The other shows off Hugo Weaving as the Red Skull.
Marvel Studios recently released a promotional poster for The Avengers at the Licensing International Expo. SuperHeroHype was kind enough to snap a photo to share online.
