Avengers Movie *Spoilers*

So there's talk of re-releasing the film theatrically with all the cut footage put back in, which would mean the films' run time would be bumped up to 3 hours.

So if that did happen, who'd actually go see it?

...I probably would.

I'm glad Whedon went with Cobie. We don't know he may have looked at Eliza, he said he had 5 actresses in mind, but Willow insisted he bring Cobbie in, so he brought her in for a reading and he loved her. And for the record I thought it was great casting.

I'm good with the Maria Hill casting but Cobie didn't get much to do in the movie so I can't say how good her acting was. I thought Cobie's line delivery sounded funny (it's probably the Canadian ). I'm looking forward to seeing more of her in the deleted scenes.

I don't think Dushku could pull off the best Maria Hill compared to other actresses

Agreed. I don't know too much about the character but I doubt that Dushku could have pulled off a better Maria Hill than Cobie. Dushku's a bit one-note. She's excellent as the party/bad girl but she can't pull off much else.

I'm surprised Whedon didn't cast Eliza Dushku as Maria Hill. She's been one of his go-to actresses for a while.

I wouldn't call Eliza Dushku, Whedon's go-to actress. What's she been in apart from Buffy and Dollhouse?

Well I just mean it in that her (and Summer Glau) are actresses that he uses often.

I love Cobie Smulders as Maria Hill too, anyway.

Cobie Smulders. Now there's some good Canadian bacon. ;)

That's true for every actor he works with. Amy Acker has been on four Whedon shows/movies and Adam Baldwin was Marcus Hamilton (Angel) before he got to be Jayne Cobb.

It's always fun to play spot-the-Whedonverse-alumni! I've only seen Avengers once, but so far I've got Jeremy Renner, Chris Hemsworth and Enver Gjokaj (I was pleasantly surprised to see Victor from Dollhouse- he's such a good actor!).

[HeroxMatt2.0]

Yeah, he's very much like Chris Nolan and has often collaborators. (Although, director-actor teams isn't a very exclusive thing haha)

Me. And just about most people who loved the film.

If it has more Cap, I'm there.

Are you freakin' kidding me? I'd absolutely see it.

I've seen it three times, and never took a bathroom break once, because i didn't want to miss anything. don't think i could sit though a three hour movie.

Funny, I came out of Avengers and Captain America thinking how it was refreshing to have a hero who doesn't have emotional baggage stopping him from being a hero.

Oh, well I guess there's always gonna be one or two exceptions.

I was thinking about ways to road-test further Avengers introductions/appearances, either in Avengers 2 or one of the franchise components. Include a running subplot (or separate sequence) where the existing Avengers get harangued by wannabes; and/or hold auditions (like Mystery Men, though not as goofy); or, like when Bendis had Cap recruiting the post-dis-Assembled New Avengers.

They also could send Fury and Hill out ala X-Men: First Class for a bunch of cameos that would essentially be advance screen tests for future characters. Namor: "Fork You!" Captain Marvel: "No, really, my name is Marv Vell." Henry Pym: "I can shrink down really small, but only if nobody's looking." Black Panther: "Guards? Take them away." Silhouette of unidentifiable but clearly identifiable guy in spandex stuck to building wall: "Sorry, I won't belong to a club that would have me as a member."

You could fit that in Iron Man 3, Cap 2 or Thor 2 or Hulk 3.

[Darkspellmaster]

This actually sounds kind of amusing, though I think the reactions would range from: Namor: How dare you humans come and expect me the Great Namor to bother with your useless actions! Be gone!" to Panther: Ther may be some good in our allience. *Plots on spying*. I'm going to guess if anything the likely new additions will be.

Falcon: based on the fact they want him in the animated show, also they would need to give Panther his own movie. I can see Falcon showing up in Cap 2.
Carol Danvers: Her new Captian Marvel status should be brought up, also add an additonal power house to the team. Probably come in through Iron Man 3 via the military and space.
Mocking Bird: Bobbie can be a friend of Bruce that helps him out given her biochemist background. So she can easily be in Hulk 3
Wonder Man: Odd possiblity in Thor 2, maybe as a helper of Jane that winds up getting hit by something during the story and becomes this character?

Just a few ideas. Then Vision could come in Avengers easily, though you need the dang Ant man movie. I want my Hank and Janet.
