Two very cool, symbiotic
pieces of news regarding
Joss Whedon ‘s 2012 film The
Avengers have just been
revealed. According to Ain’t
It Cool News, Marvel has shot
some kind of secret teaser
trailer for the film that will
either either be attached to
Thor, Captain America: The
First Avenger or both. That ’s
not particularly surprising
since Marvel likes to tack
connective bits onto their
movies. The big deal is the
content. The teaser
apparently reveals exactly
who the main villain in the
film will be. Want to who it
is right now?
According to Latino Review,
Thor’s brother Loki, played by
Tom Hiddleston in the
Kenneth Branagh film, will
return in The Avengers and
appear as a threat in the
aforementioned trailer
reported on over at Ain’t It
Cool News.
How does Loki fit in exactly?
Well, we’d hear rumors that
the Skrulls (and Loki too)
would somehow fit into The
Avengers and that ’s
apparently true. Loki, from
Thor, will somehow get his
hands on the Cosmic Cube,
from Captain America: The
First Avenger, in order to
summon the Skrulls, an evil,
alien race who look like
reptiles but have similar
several human
characteristics. (You can read
more about them here.)
If this is all true, and based
on the reputation of the
sources at both Latino
Review and Ain ’t It Cool
News plus our earlier rumor,
it probably is, then Joss
Whedon is going to be
giving us more than
superheros in Glengarry Glen
Ross , he’s going to be
directing superheroes
battling evil green skinned
aliens, a Norse God and an
infinitely powerful cube in a
full on battle to save the
planet.
