Hemsworth is loving jacked man. I read somewhere that as part of his weight gain diet he ate two whole chickens every day.

Ben, buddy, it's a wonderful day to go web slinging!


He must have taken advice from Stern on the chickens. I'm excited by Cage's comments on Rider. Cap I would put 30ish or younger. I hope Samuel L Jackson is not bored otherwise get Tommy Lee and have a scene together ragging on the Avengers.

In the movies I'd put Cap at probably between 25 and 30. They never give a frame of reference (that I remember) for his age before taking the serum. But I wouldn't place him on the lower end of the twenties. In the comics the passage of time is a bit different and the super serum formula plays with the aging process. Seeing as most people put it at about 12-14 years from the first appearance of the FF I'd place the Cap in the comics as actually being between 35 and 40 currently but with the body of someone around 30.

The likelihood of another Hulk film at this point is pretty minimal, so I absolutely would not be shocked if Whedon goes for something like "Loki gets the Hulk under his control, and Hulk inadvertently murders Betty Ross." It's the kind of shock thing (and angsty thing) that Whedon digs.

Cause we all know that what the Hulk really needs is more angst. Dudes just too footloose and fancy free for modern audiences, we need to darken him up some more.

It's bad movie, but Catwoman is worse. Though I'm not a big fan of the source material anyway. Of course there's a ton of direct to video and TV movies that trump both. But I'm speaking strictly of movies released in theaters.

It's not even close. Without the source material, it's a dull, serviceable middling movie. the source makes it more disappointing, but still not nearly as bad as Superman 3 or especially 4, Batman and Robin, Supergirl, Catwoman, Alien vs. Predator, Elektra, Son of the Mask, Dolph Lundgren Punisher, Steel, or Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 3.

gently caress you. And the guy you quoted. The Lundgren one is good, shlocky 80's fun that involves the Punisher mowing down a room full of ninjas with an M-16, and the Jane one is a legitimately good origin story for the character. War Zone on the other hand...

That's not that much for somebody getting yoked. He probably had two whole eggs plus a half dozen egg whites every morning, steaks, oatmeal, and lots of starchy carbs every day too.

Oh and a lot of steroids. There's no doubt that he juiced - anybody in any movie where they need to be muscular does.

I think that's a bit dark for any character that they're advertising as being on the Avengers team. I'm not sure if the characters respective supporting casts will even be in it much, have they announced anything like that? Gwyneth Paltrow, Don Cheadle and Natalie Portman alone would be a pretty big expenditure on top of what the main cast is taking. Who would they use as Betty Ross? Tyler again or someone else?
None of the people you listed are in this. Cheadle has signed on for Iron Man 3, which is moving forward regardless of the success or failure of Avengers. The IM franchise has made a LOT of money.

Mark Ruffalo has his work cut out for him. Not only is he replaced by CGI half the time, but his co-stars are either ridiculously charismatic, good-looking, or both.

Mark Ruffalo is also ridiculously good-looking and charismatic, so I think he'll do fine. He's actually the element of the movie I'm most curious about - in the little clips we've seen he looks like a guy who just stepped in from a more interesting movie.

He issued an apology to the community of chickens for how many he ate during the Thor filming. He said it was absolutely painful after a while just eating dry baked chicken breast endlessly.

He's been in that kind of shape for years. I've seen him in other movies looking pretty much the same just not as heavy.

The entire series is full of literary characters. I mean in the last one it had Emma Peel, James Bond, Big Brother, Harry Lime and a poo poo load others. That is the way the book is. The premise of the first one is that Mina Harper (Dracula) The Invisible Man, Captain Nemo, Allan Querterman, and Mr. Hyde team up to beat Fu Manchu and Moraiaty

The series just takes famous characters from various materials and puts them into one book. If thinking about canon helps you with that, go ahead.
