"The Avengers" Villains Revealed!

 

The fine folks over at Latino Review have the scoop on the villains in Marvels upcoming superhero team up extravaganza The Avengers! For the longest time now it's been rumoured that The Hulk would likely be the main antagonist, but that almost seemed too easy especially for how excited director Joss Whedon's been anytime he's asked to talk about the film.

Back in 2009 Marvel big shot Kevin Feige hinted at the possibility of The Skrulls appearing in the film, but like any major studio protecting the plot of their upcoming blockbuster the rumours were of course denied.

In my opinion, The Skrulls are really the only viable threat that would require so many super heroes to fight as a team. Sure, you could have The Hulk as a villain in the beginning, but then they have to come together for an even bigger threat. Something hinted about in IM2, Thor and Cap by Nick Fury's presence. Plus Fox doesn't have the rights to The Skrulls, only the Super Skrull. But this is just my inner geek thinking out loud and hoping.

 

Now we can say we know for a fact that not only will The Skrulls be one of the villains, but they'll also be accompanied by Thor's evil adoptive brother Loki who will use the Cosmic Cube to summon them. Loki is set to appear in Kenneth Branagh's THOR this May as played by Tom Hiddleston, and the Cosmic Cube is said to play an intricate part in Joe Johnston's Captain America this June. More or less they've done a nice job of tying the films together to form The Avengers, it's just a damn shame they ruined Iron Man 2 in the process, fuckers.

Hopefully they pull this off. Quite a project Whedon has on his hands.
