I think they'll save him for Iron Man, though he could easily be a handful for the Avengers. Also, hopefully, some big in-fighting would be awesome. For the love of god have Thor take a swing at Tony. He'll want to. Maybe say that epic line when he returned after Civil War ("One of us is a God of Thunder, the other...").

What if Thanos' arrival was set to be some big other-worldly threat (in 2012), and SHIELD knew it was coming, and that's why they were in a hurry to get The Avengers assembled?
They could play the Thanos situation as a global event. |

Maybe Red Skull knew the deal as well, having that Cosmic Cube and all. There's no hint that he'd return in Avengers, though.
Sure those mystic items will factor in the greater scheme of things. |

Where does the Infinity Gauntlet end up after it's appearance in Thor, and could it be a macguffin for the film? Like the Ark in Raiders.
Thanos and The Avengers not only fighting, but in a race to find it first. Obviously Thanos would, and the Avengers would have to stop him. We know SHIELD was looking for Thor's hammer, but why not the Infinity Gauntlet before Thanos arrived and claimed it? Maybe it could be lost in a place like Egypt or South America after the events of Thor. I don't want to keep coming back to the 2012 thing, but maybe it ended up in the possession of the Mayans after Asgard? I'm not sure where Asgard is in the historical timeline. Either way I think any of that would be an interesting angle. I want to see Thanos, and that's the best scenario I can think of. |

And Sally Field as aunt May.
For some reason I think she fits the role, even though I hate her face. |

So why was Nick Fury changed to look like Samuel L. Jackson? Was it because of all the upcoming movies?

Which are based on Ultimate Nick Fury, whose appearance was based on Samuel L. Jackson.

He's looked like that for nearly a decade in the Ultimate comics line. It was a big deal but in a cool, 'fresh' way.

Why did they do that though? Do they even use the original look of Nick Fury anymore?

Also Fignuts, you seem to be the resident Captain America fan. What Captain America story should I read?
I don't really need the origin story |

All this talk of who will be the Avengers antagonist, and you guys haven't even mentioned their ach nemesis in the comics.

No not at all. I was just curious as to why the changes. I thought the original Nick Fury was stale and they need to somehow bolster sales or something like that. Also the thought of not having a popular black hero character also sprung to mind.

In my view, Fury's never around enough to be stale. When he comes around business picks up. I think DC wants to use Amanda Waller in a similar way.

Anyway, most characters get a redesigned look, and they modeled fury after Samuel L. Jackson. |

The one I mentioned is the same that Lockjaw is talking about. Rogers is still cap. It's not until later that there is a new cap. Happens around the seventh trade.

I'm sure I read somewhere that the new Spider-Man film is based in high school or something, that it's more based on the Ultimate comics. As mentioned above with the Ultimate universe making differences, such as with Nick Fury, other include that Gwen Stacy was killed by Carnage, and Mary Jane finds out about Pete's identity after a couple of weeks, instead of years. |

Well there's that, and she's appearing in Green Lantern. Across the board she's been used more, like her well received stint in Smallville. It's unlikely she'll be used as a unifying card for a movie-verse, as DC/WB aren't looking into that (shame).

Saw this at the store today, and flipped through it. Looked pretty good. Seems like a follow up to Maximum Carnage, as some of the players from that are in this issue. Artwork is all painted and really amazing. Carnage is pretty crappy character, but good writing can make a good read out of any character. And carnage has at least always looked cool, and he looks awesome with this art. |

Is this the same artist from the Venom/Carnage story where Toxin was born?

I thought Maximum Carnage was great (though I was much younger when I read it. I'd like to again), but I have heard others say the same as you about his character going nowhere. Apparently it just became really one dimensional and boring? Anyways, I still always liked his presence and I think he could be written well, like you say. |

Well they could easily start one, since Green Lantern and a Superman reboot are due.
The involvement of Batman is the problem. Nolan doesn't want his series in any way connected to the same universe where a Superman and GL exist, and I tend to agree with him. But Nolan and Bale will be done with the series come 2012, and I'm sure DC will almost immediately start looking at their options for re-casting Batman and either continuing or rebooting the series under a new director. I wouldn't be suprised to see that Batman tied in with the GL and Superman franchises that will already be into their sequels. And they'll eventually make a Wonder Woman movie too, for better or worse. Personally, I think crossing GL and Superman over into eachother's movies would be fun, but I'm not too enthusiastic about seeing them tied up with Batman or the rest of JLA at all. I'd rather see them do something entirely new with Batman in the wake of Nolan. Adapting and filming some graphic novels, and taking a more live-action comic book approach would be interesting. Something like Arkham Asylum or Dark Knight Returns filmed in the style of Watchmen or Sin City. They're obviously gonna want to keep making Bat movies, but starting a traditional style movie series that soon after wouldn't be nearly as interesting as something we haven't seen attempted yet. |

It's hilarious how Robert Downey Jr. just plays Tony Stark as himself. So it's like he's just always in character
