ksommer - 8/19/2011, 5:40 AM
Thor's arms are huge! I know it's far away but even being that far you can see the definition of them.
blvdnoise - 8/19/2011, 5:44 AM

blvdnoise - 8/19/2011, 5:45 AM

In the first pic you can see Thor with his Cape and on the opposite his Stund double without the cape and sleeves.
PartyHard - 8/19/2011, 5:57 AM
There's two Thor's there.
marvel72 - 8/19/2011, 5:58 AM

SackBoy - 8/19/2011, 6:09 AM

JDUKE25 - 8/19/2011, 6:10 AM
Looks like this is going to be an epic battle. There's probably going to be more than one epic battle in this movie. This movie will be engorged with epic. Did I forget to say this will be epic?
Greengo - 8/19/2011, 6:10 AM
It's about time. Cap was gettin owned. If they're shooting this in sequence which is what always happends.
Frecks - 8/19/2011, 6:12 AM
Yay!
Greengo - 8/19/2011, 6:13 AM
Are those pink lights freakin lasers?
VictorHugo - 8/19/2011, 6:14 AM
>Hmm. Cap's missing his helmet, and Thor has no armour, >cape, or sleeves?

They´re fighting Maxwell Smart´s villain Sauvage, who destroys clothes with his NUDE BOMB.
Greengo - 8/19/2011, 6:15 AM
Hey where's Grif! AHHH HAHAHAHAAAAA

funny gifs" />
StrangerX - 8/19/2011, 6:19 AM
Still skipping all photos from now on. Just wanted to say that I truly believe Thor will come out being the best thin about the Avengers.
Maximillion - 8/19/2011, 6:20 AM
Cap was getting his but kicked, move over...Thor has come to smite the wicked with his hammer!!

Hulk2008 - 8/19/2011, 6:20 AM
Is the guy in the green shirt & back pack suppose to be Hulk??



Where is Hulk???????
JackBauer - 8/19/2011, 6:21 AM
There are 2 Thors and 2 Captains in the 1st pic. I wonder who's who?

There are at least 9 "aliens" in the 2nd pic. Smackdown!
EditNinja - 8/19/2011, 6:23 AM
Love it.
Greengo - 8/19/2011, 6:24 AM
@Hulk2008: Hey that shirt's bassackwards!
So he does have a cape and 'sleeves.'
This movie is oozing with awesomeness.
ComicBookGoth - 8/19/2011, 6:24 AM
Yes
PaulRom - 8/19/2011, 6:28 AM
Maybe those are Evans and Hemsworth's stunt doubles? Or maybe Skrulls...hmmm...
And I literally screamed when I saw the third pic. :D
KungFuKoala - 8/19/2011, 6:33 AM
Think the cape-less Thor is one of the stunt choreographers and they are mapping out the fight scene for the two Chris'. Might give all these pics a miss from now on as I can slowly see a story line being revealed shortly.

And no, I don't think that is Scarlet Johansen with the coffee, unless she's wrapped and been eating nothing but doughnuts ever since!!
Shaman - 8/19/2011, 6:33 AM
Ryan Reynolds didn't NEED CGI to suit up as Green Lantern. But they used it anyway. And i believe the Kree are 7 foot tall as well as wear armors. Those might be hard to come by and CGI is a great way around it. The Chitauri would have to have been a part of Cap's film yet they weren't. And the Skrulls are more well known. There is no reason what so ever to chose the Chitauri. I still say it's the KREE because the rumor is that the Skrulls are only hinted at yet we are dealing with an alien invasion none the less. The Kree would also establish a cosmic hero more than any other threat and a female one at that which is very rare and sought after from the public. And of all the directors in the business, Joss Whedon LOVES strong female protagonists, he spent the better part of his life working on one. Make mine Ms. Marvel!
reignSupreme - 8/19/2011, 6:34 AM
cant wait to see the rest of the avengers in action
TheDukeofMadmen - 8/19/2011, 6:34 AM
Kree and Skrull my A@@....those are Atlanteans warriors.

At least that's what they look like after a half bottle of Whisky at 8:30 in the morning....(burp)
113 - 8/19/2011, 6:35 AM
Now just for Iron Man
ElBicho - 8/19/2011, 6:36 AM
2 Thors and 2 Caps because they're fighting each other! Shapeshifting aliens!

Hopefully, there's going to be a Hulk alien!
R888 - 8/19/2011, 6:36 AM
YES YES [frick]ING YES

NOW

Where's IRON MAN
avengergirl3 - 8/19/2011, 6:37 AM
I love it, seeing Cap and Thor together. They could be drinking cofee I don't care it is just awesome we get to see them on screen together.
armageddon2001 - 8/19/2011, 6:40 AM
This is what awesome is made of, can't wait to see marvel studios release the stills of the hulk in this. I hope they do, i would love to see a pic of thor and hulk standing side by side fighting since they're both bad asses
Spidey91 - 8/19/2011, 6:42 AM
awesome!
superotherside - 8/19/2011, 6:44 AM
very cool! remember this may not be only Cap and Thor standing back to back... Iron Man may be put in later...

also does he have armor on his arms or not? I don't particularly care... I personally liked the sleeves-less costume though after seeing it... kinda hope he wears the sleeves-less throughout the film...
superotherside - 8/19/2011, 6:46 AM
also nobody say he doesn't have a cape in this one he will I think it is either they will CGI it in or this is just a test and he didn't put his cape on for the test...
thalidomide - 8/19/2011, 6:47 AM
@Greengo: actually Grif (sort of) likes this more than TDKR.

Awesome set pic. Now bring on Iron Man and Hawkeye!
thalidomide - 8/19/2011, 6:48 AM
Hopefully there's a video for this pics :)
R888 - 8/19/2011, 6:48 AM
If iron man doesn't get much screentime as the others the film sucks.
TheDukeofMadmen - 8/19/2011, 6:48 AM
Since the Skrulls have typically been adversaries of the Fantastic Four...does anybody know who has the legal rights to use them? Are they part of Fox's Fantastic Four universe or does Marvel own the rights to them?

This would make a huge difference as to what "aliens" we are all guessing at and arguing over.

Whisky gives a man such great clearity of mind in the we hours of the morning.
capreborn - 8/19/2011, 6:51 AM
Where is the video
Greengo - 8/19/2011, 6:53 AM
@thalidomide: I <3 grumpy bear...

I just couldn't resist showing the pink freaking lasers blasting Grif though. ZAP! :D
DCMarvelFreshman - 8/19/2011, 6:53 AM
@R888 RDJ will apparently have the most screen-time. The remaining stuff involving Iron Man will be CGI. The stuntman should be on set soon. Probably not today though.
nuck82 - 8/19/2011, 6:53 AM
FINALY!!! MORE THEN JUST CAP!
thalidomide - 8/19/2011, 6:54 AM
@Grengo: Don't we all? LOLOLOL.

anyway still waiting for the video for this one :)
Geeksiah - 8/19/2011, 6:54 AM
@TheDukeofMadmen As I've said since this discussion stated. The Skrulls belong to Fox now.

So no Skrulls...
