‘The Avengers’ Superbowl Trailer (Extended)
One minute, five seconds of badassery: the extended version of the Avengers trailer shown tonight during the Superbowl.
Two Major ‘Avengers’ Rumors Debunked
Via io9, head of Marvel Studios Kevin Feige recently made two definitive statements to Empire Magazine about the upcoming Avengers film:
- Loki’s alien army is not the Skrulls.
- The Red Skull is not the secret second villain.
So that’s that, unless you think it’s all disinformation, which would be getting fairly paranoid.
Realism and the Marvel Movies: Are they about to fall apart?
Scalzi’s summer movie wrap-up over at FilmCritic.com got me thinking about the Marvel Studios superhero movie franchises.
Marvel Studios became relevant when they released Blade in 1998. When they released X-Men and Spider-man in the early 2000s, they proved that big-budget movies based on superhero comic books could be profitable. They’ve been doing well ever since. More after the jump.
