Err… Himora, Wonder Woman and the Flash are DC characters…
The Avengers are currently (I believe):
Iron Man, Capt. America, Wolverine, Storm, Spider-man (subbing for ant-man), The Hulk, and possibly Thor.
Depends on the comic/version.
The most likely for a X-over movie, IMO, are:
Iron Man, Wolverine, Capt. America, and Spider Man.
I don’t think Thor will gain enough steam. As for The Hulk, both of the new movies don’t portray him in a super-heroish light, or so it seems. Banner is more like a man trying to control his inner-demon, than someone who wants to use his power for heroics ALL the time.
That’s the same way he is portrayed in the comics now. He isn’t really a super hero anymore but someone on the run. He’s killed innocent people now and destroyed cities.
The current Avengers include Spiderman, Luke Cage, Spider-Woman, Iron-Man, Captain America, Wolverine and Ms Marvel.
They’ve updated a lot of things from the older comics. It is the only reason I pay attention to it. Thor is dead…for now. the fact that they used Nick Fury from the newer series hints they are moving in this newer direction (even though they could add in Thor before he dies easily).
Those more into this shit would know more though.
My friend…Thor is NOT dead anymore. His title has returned, and he is more bad-assed than ever.
The Nick Fury in the movie is the Ultimate Universe Nick Fury. This means Marvel is trying to introduce the Ultimates Universe version to the mainstream, not their “real” universe which is dubbed the 616 universe.
Thor is my favorite character. I hate the fact that the Ultimates version of Thor is a real pansie. I blame Quesada for bastaardizing or allowing the bastaardization of Marvel comics history and destroying some of the continuity. This helps with marketing to newer generations, but hardcore comics folks like me detest it. [/quote]
Gotch’a. I LIKE the Ultimate Universe. Luke Cage? Most of the shit Spiderman says now is funny as all hell (unlike in the movies). IronMan is badass (so glad he was in the movie as well), and Thor still kicks God-like ass whenever possible.
I mean, shit, all they need is a good Hulk turn out, a decent man to play Captain America (who is now one of the most popular), some hope that Tyrese can actually pull off Luke Cage realistically, get rid of Magwire as Spiderman and get someone with TALENT, a decent Thor movie that DOES make him more realistic…and pow…I can leave this planet with my childhood and adulthood nicely capped off in fantasy.
LOL.
