A word of warning. This article contains SPOILERS for current and future Marvel Studios movies. If you haven’t seen this summer’s two Marvel Studios movies and don’t want to know some details, please turn back now.
Just what is the threat that would require the Avengers to assemble on the big-screen?
Fans who saw this summer’s “The Incredible Hulk” got a hint at the threat that could require the combined forces of Captain America, Thor, Ant-Man, Iron-Man and the Wasp to defeat. In the closing moments of “Hulk” we saw General Ross meet with Tony Stark in a bar with Stark offering to help with Ross’s “Hulk-problem.”
“Iron Man” writers Mark Fergus and Hawk Ostby told MTV news they hope that the Avengers movie will find the various heroes gathering together to go toe-to-toe with the green-skinned goliath.
“I hope ‘The Avengers’ embraces that. You don’t want like 10 super-badass good guys fighting together,” Fergus said. “Where’s the fun in that? Let’s break it off a little. Friends or colleagues who become enemies is always an interesting thing because you know it’s based on love and friendship and that’s always the worst thing to have turn bad – someone you actually care about and someone you actually believe in.”
“I personally like when good-guy characters have to fight each other,” he went on. “Good guys going against good guys who both believe in an issue is way more interesting than a villain clearly into evil and I like when former friends become committed enemies.”
Fans will have to wait and see if the Hulk is the threat bringing the Avengers together. “The Avengers” is scheduled for a summer 2011 release.
If you missed “The Incredible Hulk” in theaters and want to see the aforementioned scene (as well as a wealth of extras, including a possible deleted scene cameo by Captain America) you can pick up a copy on DVD or Blu-Ray.Â
