Nov 30 08 12:57 AM More My Recent Posts	Captain America, Thor and Iron Man 2 are all going to lead in to the Avengers. As has been mentioned previously, the biggest issue with an Avengers movie with that line-up (and The Hulk, and probably Black Widow ) is coming up with a role for Thor that makes sense. Having Loki as the villain solves that. Also, tying Thor into a WWII era Captain America movie makes sense as well, considering how much nazi iconograpy is based on norse mythology. Thor's hammer was even the basis for the swastika! I can't see the filmmakers ignoring these logical connections. Seriously, Thor's hammer will equal the Lost Ark in the Cap movie. I'd bet money on it. And it is probably recovered when Cap is defrosted from the ice at the start of the Avengers, setting Thor's entry into the story in motion. Either that or they'll fight The Masters Of Evil, featuring The Porcupine and The Human Top.

I would much prefer the original Masters of Evil, with Baron Zemo, The Melter, the Black Knight, and Radioactive Man. Later adding The Executioner and the Enchantress.

He will use The Hulk as a pawn in the first half of the movie, leading to a big mid-movie fight scene where a freshly thawed Cap shows off his bad-ass-ness by being the only one able to bring him down. It isn't written yet so nobody really knows but since the Captain America movie is supposed to be the lead in to the Avengers... I don't think it will be Loki. -Gregg It's gotta be The Red Skull don't ya think? And he could continue as main villian in Avengers film. (maybe leading HYDRA)

Nov 30 08 11:00 AM More My Recent Posts	THE AVENGERS movie will be a big battle royale between all the Avengers until the climax when they must join together to defeat the bigger foe.

Nov 30 08 2:42 PM More My Recent Posts	Actually the Nazis used the Swastika to symbolize "racial purity" and had nothing to do with it being Thor's Hammer. The Swastika representing Thors hammer is also a notion that has been dismissed by many, as they feel the correct mark of Thor's hammer is said to be a 'Y'. It should also be pointed out that the symbol dates back to caveman times so the hammer is far from the basis for the symbol. Nobody really knows what the Captain America script will be or where it will be set as it isn't even written yet. But we do know that it is intended to be the direct lead in to the Avengers Movie as it's coming out only a couple of months before the Avengers flick. So smart money would say the Villain will be connected to the Cap movie. Another popular theory (And one I agree with) is that The Hulk will ultimately be what the Avengers have to deal with. First being part of the team and then being the problem. Either way I'd say it's verrrrry remote we will see Loki in this flick. -Gregg

I predict we'll be seeing Black Widow in Iron Man 2, and again in the Avengers. I don't think we'll be seeing Ant Man and The Wasp because Edgar Wright's Ant Man movie won't be made in time. I predict Loki will be the main villain in The Avengers, carried over from Thor. He will be in some sort of human guise, maybe as an army general or a politician, playing into the worlds of Cap and Tony Stark. He will use The Hulk as a pawn in the first half of the movie, leading to a big mid-movie fight scene where a freshly thawed Cap shows off his bad-ass-ness by being the only one able to bring him down. Tony Stark's father will be involved in the super soldier program in Cap's movie, giving Tony and Cap something to bond over. The Cap movie would need an Indiana Jones style Macguffin. Thor's hammer maybe? And for the big third act battle royale, how about an Asgardian invasion of earth? Manipulated by Loki of course. There was a story arc in Thor in the early 70's by Gerry Conway and John Buscema that had a big army vs. Asgard finale that would be very cool in a movie. The Asgardian Invasion finale is probably wishful thinking given the realities of movie budgets, but I'll bet I'm right about the other things. I have to pat myself on the back a bit. Not everything here is 100% on the money, but for a prediction made just after the first Iron Man came out, I don't think I did half bad.

May 1 12 8:57 PM More My Recent Posts	the movie is released in days.nothing said will effect what is in it.but i have an interesting overall question. who is robert downey jr. to insinuate that iron man does not fit with thor, hulk captian america ect when he was written in comics in the early 1960`s to do just that? does he know about what the charactor is more then the people behind marvel comics.the iron man creaters and the other comic book writers? looks like his ego needs to be in check.

May 2 12 9:04 AM More My Recent Posts	I think the intent of Downey's comment is that generally in sci-fi/fantasy movies, the rule is that the audience will allow you one conceit. As in, if you have an alien invasion, you can't also have ghosts. Or if you have a girl with psychic powers, you can't also have a time-travelling robot from the future. I mean, obviously you can, and there's been no shortage of genre mash-ups like that, but in terms of wide acceptance by a general audience, the more you ask the audience to accept, the more you risk losing them. For Iron Man, I don't think it's out of line to think that maybe an audience with no familiarity of the character outside the movie, where he's basically James Bond with bigger gadgets, might reject a push to add overt fantasy elements into the series. I think that was a legitimate concern, but one that was solved by introducing the other main Avengers in their own movies where all the work of selling their conceits would be taken care of so they could be dropped into one movie together ready to go.

Thor's the one who sticks out here, but really, if you play the Chariots of the Gods (aliens) conceit, it works.
