Avengers in 2011!
Marvel Entertainment held its shareholder webcast this morning where they announced some pretty interesting information regarding their upcoming slate. Included is confirmation that IRON MAN 2 is on the fast track for an April 30, 2010 release (summer officially begins in April now!) and THE AVENGERS in July, 2011. Also on the release schedule are THOR (June 4, 2010) and THE FIRST AVENGER: CAPTAIN AMERICA (May 6, 2011). While Zak Penn is writing THE AVENGERS and Matthew Vaughn is developing THOR, there is no talent attached yet to CAPTAIN AMERICA though you can expect that to change soon enough. The announcement comes just three days after IRON MAN opened and has already pulled in over $200 million worldwide to the 2nd highest non-sequel opening in history. Also came news of plenty of other properties including video games, direct-to-DVD and animated TV series. ANT MAN was also confirmed as being in development (with Edgar Wright attached to write and direct) but no release date was announced. You can read a full summary of the webcast at Yahoo! Finance. So what Avengers line-up can we expect to see in the series?

Im a fan of DC comics more then Marvel, Id rather see a Juctice League film, but I dont see that happening with a new Batman franchise in full swing.

X-Mens franchise is dead, and this would save them the trouble of introducing too many new characters.
Ironman, Thor, Hulk, Capitan America and Wolverine? That could work

it's much better idea than cramming Tobey Maguire
(SPIDY), Ed Norton (HULK) and Robert Downey JR
(IRONMAN) + whoever plays Cap America & Thor in an
Avenger movie. That will look like Marvel version of
Ocean 13.

Marvel needs to be careful not to over-saturate the market with these films. Will have to see how this plays out. Can we get a restart for Daredevil now too?

Ant-Man sounds weak. I don't want to see an Ant-Man movie from what I know of him.

On top of that, there's also the possibility of Beast even making an appearance because of his affiliation with the Avengers squad at one point. So, yeah, there are quite a few line-ups that are possible. Personally, I'd prefer it if they stuck to characters that have all ready had a film under their belts to save some time as far as exposition goes.
With that said, the line-up I'd most want to see would have to be:
Iron Man, Cap, Hulk, Thor and toss in either Hawkeye, Wasp or even Ant Man if you want to have Ultron as a villain.
However, the biggest issue comes down to the casting of these characters. Marvel needs to be smart about casting (I'm sure they will), and not rush into anything like DC did when casting the JLA film. Of course, finding the right director to helm the project is another hot issue.
It has the potential to be something pretty amazing, or (as we've seen with the JLA news) something that sounds downright awful.

Favreau is definitely the man to do Iron Man justice.
War Machine and Mandarin in part 2?

The probable line-up will be captain america, iron-man, thor, ant-man and wasp. Cameo's of other avengers toward the end of film(I hope). I'd like to see in the second one hawkeye and the vision.

I have been waiting for someone to do the Avengers characters justice for years. Now I find out out that not only are they getting treatment, but I'm going to get a movie with all of them together, some one up there must love me.
If I were to have my ideal Avengers line-up, it would be....
Iron Man
Captain America
Thor
