[Twisted Two-Face]

Today on Twitter, following the Q & A with Clark Gregg, Tom Hiddleson, and SLJ (he replied to one of my Tweets, and Avengers retweeted me!!! /nerdgsm), Clark Gregg MAY have let something slip. When saying goodbye, he said:

Spoiler

he had to leave, as he had a lunch with some Skrulls to get to.

Now, it may be meaningless, but i can't imagine he'd just reference them out of the blue like that, in context of the film.




Too many villain options...

Or they know that the internet rumor mill has put the Skrulls in the movie for months and he's having fun fanning the flames.
Whether the Skrulls are actually in the movie is irrelevant to making the blogisphere go nuts with a parting comment. Must keep the buzz going after all.

Extended Super Bowl Trailer

[hellpop]

Well, at least something good came from that game (sorry, disgruntled Eagles fan here).

[nate_studio]

I did not watch the Super Bowl. I did, however, make sure to watch the extended trailer.
CANNOT WAIT for THIS MOVIE!

[Mirymate]

Watched the game and the trailer. Pleased with both. (had no dog in the fight that was the game, but I was entertained by it.)

Badly wanting to see this. May cannot get here fast enough.

I am really hoping for a cameo from both in some form, that hints to an expanded presence in the inevitable sequel.
Wasp is one character i'd really like to see make a film appearance. The movie looks pretty light on the female representation so far, so hopefully any follow up film will help level it out by bringing in Janet.

So, whoe are the guys in the new trailer? Frost Giants with Skrull technology? Any news on that?
(Or am I late to the party and the puzzle is already soved? )

[youbastards]

There's been discussion in the Wave 45 thread, although it should probably be here. There has been mention of Frost Giants, Chitauri (Ultimate universe Skrulls), Badoon, generic space pirates, etc.

My theory is that

Spoiler

Loki steals the Cosmic Cube from SHIELD and returns to Asgard, he then declares himself King of Jotunheim (since he killed Laufey and was the heir to the throne) and tricks the Frost Giants into invading Earth. The tech seen in the trailer was created by the Cosmic Cube, and he generates a portal from Jotunheim to Earth (what Iron Man is seen flying towards in the trailer) and this portal also allows Thor to return to Earth to stop his brother. The 'aliens' are Frost Giants decked out in Tesseract tech. Somehow, Loki either meets Red Skull or inadvertantly returns Skull to Earth, and there will be hints at him rebuilding a current day Hydra at the end of the movie. I think the whole 'aliens' in Avengers is an intentional misdirection, but technically they could be considered aliens as they are not of the planet Earth. Plus, it would make more sense plot-wise, with what has already been introduced in the prior movies, and further build upon that framework that was already setup in Thor and Captain America.

Like I said, my theory, but I think it is a sound one.

Still look like Warguards/Death's Heads with a little Frost Giant mixed in. Or just some Kree. Think I'd be happiest it they were Kree.

POSSIBLE SPOILER! This could be our first look at the REDACTED.

Hmmm... big pointy ears? Looks like Skrulls to me.

Wow they look almost identical to skrulls...

[Lurch77]

New poster and new trailer will be out tomorrow.

[UK Collector]

New name too....which is odd.

I wonder how this will affect their merchandise e.g. action figure boxes already designed and printed up in a warehouse somewhere.

Edit: Turns out that it's just a UK title change. Still odd.

How silly, and pointless.

I don't think anyone thought this was going to Emma Peel turn up in this.

[Turtle]

The fine print looks like it is still listed as "Marvel's The Avengers." Either way, that's a pretty ugly poster- looks like someone just learned how to use PS.

You know what irk's me about that poster and nearly all the stuff I've seen on this movie. The lack of helmets or masks, I have this horrid feeling that Cap Am is going to end up fighting the majority of this movie so we can see his chiselled looks and no winged helmet on Thor for the same reason.

Could it be because of that British TV series The Avengers? The one that had that absolute CRAP move with Voldemort and Poison Ivy fighting James Bond. That's about the only explanation I can think of.
