Thor, Captain America & The Avengers At Comic Con!
Sat, July 24, 2010 
Once again today the lucky folks at comic con were treated to more super hero footage, and thanks to comingsoon we have the description. The footage this time was of Marvels upcoming comic book films for Thor and Captain America. Hopefully we can something online from one if not both of the films due out next summer.
The Captain America Teaser description:
started with an air raid siren, which led to archival footage of World War II with famous quotes voiced over the top. We can see that there's an alternating red, white and blue background as we see different scenes from World War II.
The titles say... "In the world's greatest Country, Our Courage and Strength Led Us Into Battle. Stories Emerged of Heroes, But One Story Has Never Been Told."
The red, white and blue background slowly pulls back to show us that it is indeed Captain America's shield.
There's a voiceover of Teddy Roosevelt saying "Today we must create the finest army in history, and every army starts with one man."
And we see Captain America in shadow. (The crowd goes wild.)
"Next summer, meet the world's first Avenger."
And we see our first look as Chris Evans as Captain America. (Crowd goes wilder.)
Then we see the "Captain America" logo and the next shot has Captain America throwing his shield at the camera.
They've only been shooting Captain America for eight days, and Hugo Weaving revealed he's already worn the Red Skull mask once already! I guess that solves the question as to whether he would wear a mask or make up... or does it?
They also showed an apparent scene of "raw footage" from Cap which was described by Collider:
we see Weaving come in as Johann Schmidt, who would eventually become “Red Skull”. He’s leading a team of Nazi soldiers as they storm a catacomb and open a sarcophagus to reveal a skeleton holding what appears to be the Cosmic Cube. Schmidt says it was “the jewel of Odin’s treasure room.” He then walks around the catacomb and looks at a giant engraving of a tree along a wall. Schmidt then is able to find a secret compartment that pushes out into a box. He then takes out the box, opens it, we see a blue light reflected on Schmidt’s face and then the scene ends.
The Thor teaser description:
It starts with lightning and then it shows a SHIELD base where Clark Gregg's Agent Coulson is interrogating someone chained to a chair. It's Chris Hemsworth's Thor, and Coulson gives a long monologue asking him where he got his training. We see a bit of footage of Thor in action sans hammer taking down the SHIELD soldiers who are trying to stop him.
"Who are you?" asks Coulson and Thor looks up.
We then see what looks like a constellation system and we hear a voiceover by Anthony Hopkins as Odin as we see the golden buildings of Asgard and the camera goes into the throne room where he's giving a big speech to his son, who is kneeling at the base of the throne. We see glimpses of each of the Asgardian Gods including Sif, Balder and the Warriors Three, and Idris Elba's Heimdall. Odin is obviously mad at Thor and he says the he's going to take his power and banish him for his actions, sending a bolt that sends Thor down through the constellation where he lands in the desert and is found by Natalie Portman's Jane Foster. We then see Hemsworth walking around shirtless and impressing Foster and her assistant Darcy (played by Kat Dennings).

After both films were previewed for the very lucky audience the entire cast of the Avengers came on stage. The cast included Jeremy Renner and Mark Ruffalo as Clint Barton/Hawkeye and the new Bruce Banner/The Hulk. So I guess that makes it official Ruffalo is the new Hulk! There was also a teaser for The Avengers which was essentially the new logo with a voice over by Sam Jackson, regardless still sounds all kinds of awesome!
I just hope we can at least get some new screen shots if not both trailers for Thor and Captain America online. The only problem being neither film comes out until mid next year so the probability seems very slim, but none the less even if we don't see it we know they at least sound amazing.
In addition to to the footage shown Marvel Studios just announced the newly launched Assemble.Marvel.com, the official site for The Avengers which features the new logo!
I hate to be the one to say this, but it looks like marvels reign of terror on the film industry isn't letting up anytime soon, They're kicking DC's ass all over the place right now! Can Marvel force a Batman or Superman announcement out of DC/WB before the months over, I sure hope so!
