    Avengers Movie

    Downey, Favreau sign on for "Avengers" at Marvel
    Wednesday October 29 2:47 PM ET

    "Iron Man" duo Robert Downey Jr. and director Jon Favreau will reunite for "The Avengers," Marvel Studios' film about its team of superheroes.

    Don Cheadle, whose deal to replace Terrence Howard in the "Iron Man" movies has been finalized, also has signed to perform in the action movie. It is set for release in 2011.

    Downey has signed a four-picture deal with Marvel Studios, which will see him reprise the character of Tony Stark not only for "Iron Man 2" and "Iron Man 3," but also for the "Avengers" movie. (The deal retroactively includes the first "Iron Man," which grossed $580 million at the worldwide box office this year.)


    Favreau, who is directing "Iron Man 2," will executive produce "Avengers." Cheadle will play Jim Rhodes, Stark's best friend, who becomes the suit-wearing hero "War Machine."

    Marvel's current slate is designed to introduce superhero characters via individual movies that lead up to the characters teaming up for "Avengers."

    Downey and Cheadle are the first stars to sign for "Avengers," whose roster of superheroes includes Iron Man, Captain American, Hulk, Wasp, Giant Man, Hawkeye and Thor.

    Edward Norton portrayed Bruce Banner/Hulk in "Hulk" this year, but the actor clashed with the studio over the movie's cut. It is unclear whether he will return.





    Who will play the rest of the superheros?

    Well we already know Louie is going to be playing the voice of the Hulk.

    It just wouldn't be the same otherwise.

    Yeah I heard he was playing the Diva card since he is an Actor/Entertainer. I guess Cheadle was cheaper?

    i think cheadle could put on some pounds of muscles and pull it off well, i find him to be a much more entertaining actor than howard anyway.

    Cheadle is fucking amazing, just the character he's portraying doesn't fit his physical appearance. Great actors can overcome this, I doubt it'll be a problem.

    Terrence Howard is pretty well known for being a huge-ass diva with a massive ego.

    Ed Norton was good as the Hulk (I mean, our base for comparison as far as big-screen Hulk goes, was Eric *gag* Bana), and I hope he returns even though he too is pretty frequently rumored to have a Terrence Howard-esque ego. D:

    I feel like edward norton has more of a reason to carry that ego. I'd pick a norton film over howards any day.

    He wasn't too thrilled with how the hulk was finalized if I remember correctly

    Aaron Eckhart (Dent from TDK) would be a perfect Capt. America.

    Brad pitt could be thor, essentially would just be a reprisal of his roll from troy

    I may be no hollywood executive, but I don't see a ton of marketability in individual summer movies built around any of these characters. We're talking C-list Marvel heros with most of these. Ask 100 folks to name one supervillain rival of any of these lumps and you'll see what I mean.
