I think that the Avengers movie is going to keep it kind of simple. With the Hulk and Iron Man coming up this year. Iron Man 2 and Thor in 2010 that sets up at least three characters for the Avenger Movie. The real problem is with the Capt. America movie being in 2011 along with the Avengers. Whoever is playing Capt. will have to film both movies at the same time, which could work if the Capt movie kind of rolls into the Avengers movie. That would be kind of cool. With Downey playing Iron Man and appearing in Hulk, he is definitely in on The Avengers. Whether or not Norton returns will depends, I am guessing, on the success of Hulk. Jackson is already set to play Fury. Now the question is who is going to be Thor and Capt. America? Sound off on that one.

I thought Iron Man was the best Superhero movie to date (by the way this is coming from a hardcore Batman fan for the last 30 years) That said I just want a continuation of this movie. Downey Jr., Paltrow, Howard, Favreau, etc. Keep this movie universe going for awhile without throwing in some challenge big enough that a walking arsenal, a born again super soldier, Mr. Hyde and the son of God have to struggle to fight.

The Avengers film will consist of Iron-Man, Captain America, Thor, Hulk and Nick Fury, Black Widow can come along through the Iron-Man 2, Capt. America, and Thor films she could be recruiting the Avengers as well as Nick Fury, then after Avengers, the Ant Man film will come allong and will possibly introduce Wasp as Ant Man's love intrest, then have them join the Avengers for a second film that will include Iron-Man, Captain America, Thor, Hulk, Nick Fury, Black Widow, Ant Man and Wasp. Just a thought... but I'm so stoked right now!

Sure things look crammed on paper. But it's still 2 years away. Just like people looking forward to Iron Man and the Hulk this year, we'll have Iron Man 2 and Thor two years from now. Things will pan out nicely.

That gives them less than 3 years to explain the backstories of whatever Avengers they choose (sans Iron Man) in movie form. I'd rather get really good, really well made background movies for all these characters cause with Iron Man Hollywood proved they could do it right (Great movie, btw). I'd say slow the pace of this down, because Lord only knows the quickness of all this Marvel Movie Property making could blow up in everyone's faces.

Not the best of plans if you ask me. I love these comic movies personally, but packing too many characters in one movie hasn't worked to well in the past. Lord of the Rings worked, but that was a slow moving trilogy. Avengers would probably be more turbo charged mayhem, and assume we got our fill of character development from the past films. Maybe it could work?

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

You know, there's quite a bit that can be done with this film as far as line-ups are concerned. They could very well have an Avengers flick with Spider-Man, Wolverine, Iron Man, Thor and Captain America due to the fact that Wolverine and Spider-Man were both part of the New Avengers.

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.

Awesome. Yes I would love to have Fav direct but I dont think its possible. I mean Pre production on Iron Man 2 will be starting up shortly. Thats set for April 30 2010. Avengers the following summer. Theres no way he could do 2 big budget hero movies that quickly. Unless they were shot together. Apparently Thor is going to be in Iron Man 2. I find it so amazing how this one movie has pretty much lit a fire under the entire superhero movie genre. Expect great things over the next 3 years from Marvel. Minus the Hulk that is.

It'll probably be the original group (Captain America, Iron Man, Thor, Hulk, Ant Man and Wasp), but as an Avengers fan for nearly 20 years, the best group dynamic would be: Captain America, Hawkeye, Scarlet Witch, Quicksilver and Wonder Man. (But that may be too unknowns for a studio to touch).

An easy three story arc involving Ultron as the main baddie.
