Quint atAin’t It Cool Newswrites the following on the early buzz concerningThe Avengers:
Word ‘round the campfire is Marvel considers The Avengers to be their best outing yet. I’ve talked to some cynics in the group who weren’t sure it was going to come together and they’re all doing their mea culpas now. They say it has the heart, the action, the humor and the suspense a movie like The Avengers should have. The only criticisms I’ve heard is that Whedon’s eye isn’t as cinematic as it should be, but that the rest of the movie is so good that you accept it.
Marvelhas officially released the hi-res images of the two newAvengersimages we ran over the past two days. This one is wallpaper worthy. Head to the link for the hi-res.Comic Book Moviepoints out the officialGerman Facebookpage forThe Avengerssays a new trailer will be out next week. However, odds are it’s just some kind of rehash of the American Super Bowl spot. In German.Digital Spy(viaCBM) spoke toWatchmenstarMatthew Goodeabout the upcoming comicsBefore Watchmen.Moviehole(viaCBM) mentioned in a piece thatTaylor Kitschis being considered for theDaredevilreboot. That will almost certainly not happen.
Oddly enough, this is not the first time we’ve run a photo of someone who created medieval armor based onBatmanbut this probably trumps them all. Props toPrince Armory(viaIO9). Head there to see more photos.
After seeingGhost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance, were you disappointed the film didn’t go for the hard-R? There was a treatment and sequel idea that would’ve done just that, from the team behindDrive Angry, but Marvel rejected it. Now you’re able to read it. It’s calledGhost Rider 2: Riders on the Stormand featured Johnny Blaze going to Europe searching for the skulls of previous riders. Head toWendagothanks toComic Book Movie.
