I didn't think the head look much like the Badoon. However, Badoon are tied to the Guardians of the Galaxy and Kevin Feige did say they wanted to do a movie on Guardians of the Galaxy so...

Maybe they are Skrulls but they just call them some new made up name since Fox owns the name.

Starburst Magazine interviewed special effects supervisor Chris Wells.

Working at Hydraulx, the SFX company behind SKYLINE and BATTLE: LOS ANGELES, Wells and his crew are overseeing the much-anticipated film's opening sequence. 'We're doing what essentially boils down to the prelude of the movie,' he said. 'There's a whole intro that happens before you start even getting the titles and it's pretty big. There's nothing small in this movie. I went to a screening with all the temporary visual effects and it was pretty fleshed out. It's a long movie but it doesn't feel like it. Out of all the comic book movies and franchises I've worked on, this is the best one I've seen so far.'

Having worked on the X-MEN films, CAPTAIN AMERICA, THE INCREDIBLE HULK, FANTASTIC FOUR, GREEN LANTERN and more, Wells knows his superhero stuff, although he claims to not be a big fan of the genre. Asked whether the film would be driven by action or the more character-orientated work that director Joss Whedon is known for, Wells gave an answer that will set a lot of fanboy minds at rest. 'I think they nailed both,' he said. 'Joss and I have worked on some projects before and he does a very good job with characters. Since this is the first time that we see these guys together as a unit, he had to address all their personal dealings with one another. I think he did a very good job of setting up the characters based on what we know from the Marvel franchise, integrating them together with all their differences and similarities and then getting on with business. And just when you think the movie is a character piece it just goes nuts.'

While Wells avoided giving away any details about the mysterious baddies of the piece and refused to be drawn on whether the much-rumoured Skrulls would be on villain duty, he did confirm that The Red Skull was not in the movie, cryptically adding, 'but that's ok because there's enough bad guys to go around'. Despite being somewhat weary of superhero films, Wells went on to state that THE AVENGERS has far exceeded his expectations and is destined to be a massive hit when released this summer. 'I promise you it's not going to be boring,' he said. 'This thing has gone so big that Marvel are dwarfing their other franchises. For people who enjoy the comics and haven't really liked the way some of the characters were treated in other movies, I think they're going to be a little more appeased by this one. Especially the Hulk. They let the Hulk be Hulk and that's great. He acts more like the comic book Hulk. It's fun. My biggest problem with every single superhero movie is I don't think the payoff ever matches the build up. This one definitely does.'

**Laugana** · 2012-02-22 12:31

**kuronosan** · 2012-02-22 13:24

Scarlett looks like she's just been told she has AIDS.

new trailer comes out Wednesday, apparently. Seems kind of quick. I was thinking mid-April.

the Hulk is huge, cool

**Laugana** · 2012-02-28 13:29

Captain America looks like a giant if you consider them all to be in proportion with each other. The perspective skews it.

**Abandon** · 2012-02-29 04:24

he's also standing on something. /sigh

The poster is fucking awful. Honestly one of the worst I've ever seen in recent memory. Fucking Photoshop for the win again. Oh and it's blue & hints or orange. Yay. Anyone who thinks this is good has a very strange (read: bad) idea of what a movie poster should look like.

Everything about it is off. Hulk isn't going to be 12 feet tall in the movie (we've already seen his size in trailers) & What the fuck is he looking at worriedly? The side of the building? Hawkeye is crooked, like on an angle, fucking retarded looking. Nobody stands like that, superhero or not. What is he looking at? Why is Black Widow checking out his ass? Why are they all looking a different direction? Cap is obviously unworried. Also why are Cap & Thor & Iron man not fully suited? Surely in a war you would be wearing all of your armor and not be missing one of the most important pieces. Like your fucking helmet! This thing seriously sucks.

As much sense as it makes for them to have on their headgear cause of a war zone. It just wouldnt make sense cause they want the public to see who is in the film. I do agree though that the poster is complete shit. It looks like a bad high school art project.

I won't disagree with you on that from a marketing standpoint, but they should really make another one with them fully suited and actually standing kinda y'know, as a team.

Putting way too much thought into a movie poster lol.

Whats worse is that the movie got its name changed in the UK to Avengers Assemble. Cause the US version is still titled normally

Eh, I didn't get the chance to mock the X-Men First Class promotional stuff, I reserve the right to be able to do so on this film

**Fhloston** · 2012-02-29 12:21

New trailer. Mostly what we've seen already, but with a few more scenes and extra dramatic music thrown in.
