Brian Bendis gives his take on the build up to 'The Avengers'

The comic book writer shares his thoughts on the Captain America, Iron Man and Thor scripts and how he thinks 'The Avengers' will work!
This from MTV's Splash Page:

"Having read the 'Captain America' movie script and the 'Thor' movie scripts and 'Iron Man 2' and everything, and seeing them all develop, nothing is more exciting to me than the 'Avengers' movie," Bendis told MTV News. "It's absolutely going to be something better than— different than—anything we've seen before."

"I think the challenge is absolutely there. It's an immense amount of work, but the payoff will be gigantic."

The 'New Avengers' writer also went on to say that he was confident a movie of this scale will work.

"My advice is, has been, and will be, that much like the comics, you look at movies like the 'Oceans' movies that have all these different flavors, you put the flavors together and you cook 'em," Bendis said. "It absolutely can be done."

"Look at 'The Great Escape' or other movies that have all these big elements to them, and even elements that don't seem that they would fit can rub up against each other in a very excellent way," he explained. "They really can create something you wouldn't even imagine you had before."

Ok, so everyone that's involved thinks this movie will be great. And that the individual movies will be great.

That's. . . great.

Can we see some f*cking mock ups or set designs already??
MultiPurposePoni - 10/22/2009, 12:17 PM

teabag - 10/22/2009, 12:24 PM
Nice! I can't wait to see it all tie together.
Bamf7 - 10/22/2009, 12:53 PM
LMAO @ TEA!!

LEEE777 - 10/22/2009, 12:56 PM
teabag: LMAO! LEE needs that "Obsession" stuff by the bucket load! :D Great pics! I also thought that the first Oceans movie was great - its a pity the other two werent quite as good!

MULTI: Yeah, some actual news of some sort would be good at this point!
joshw24 - 10/22/2009, 1:00 PM
@joshw

I wrote this article about two hours ago and they removed it...I checked but i didn't see any past articles so I'm confused as to why it was removed now.
Whispers68 - 10/22/2009, 1:03 PM
I'm so hyped for this movie. Too bad it's so far away! Just gotta keep my fingers crossed & hope it's done well.
Runefyst - 10/22/2009, 2:36 PM
LEE!!! Jensen will be awesome choice for Cap as he has a presence, can act very well and lets be honest kinda looks like steve rogers!
Lee Burns - 10/22/2009, 2:55 PM
Lee Burns: Too right mate! The guy is perfect for Captain America!!!
joshw24 - 10/22/2009, 3:24 PM
[frick] Yeah!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The Avengers
MrAnonymous - 10/22/2009, 3:47 PM
@ LEEE

i'm with you buddy!!!! down with ultimate fury!!!!!!!!! but at least it works and makes sense. i just like the REAL fury so much better!
CorndogBurglar - 10/22/2009, 3:48 PM
I like the Ultimates Fury so much better, if they weren't going with the Ultimates then why did they cast a black Fury then?
ASSASSIN666 - 10/22/2009, 4:08 PM
ASSASSIN@ Cus if SLJ is drawn as Fury you might as well cast him....plus they know SLJ will sign up to anything lol :P
teabag - 10/22/2009, 4:52 PM
Also SLJ makes up for no African-American Avenger in the movie but nothing beats the real Nick Fury.


ViperXX79 - 10/22/2009, 6:05 PM
why is everybody obsessed on this site with either hating ackles or loving him, and y does everybody love the cw here. the cw sucks in my opinion.......... well i like smallville but everything except for that
joob234 - 10/22/2009, 6:19 PM
joob@ i dont even know what the CW is :)
teabag - 10/22/2009, 6:34 PM
@Viper Agreed - Nick Fury rocks the house. Perhaps your rationale for SLJ is right! Worried it will become the Ultimates version of everyone/thing.
ThaPhunkyFeelOne - 10/22/2009, 8:22 PM
@joob. I don't hate Ackles. In fact I'd love to see him as a superhero. I just don't think having him as Cap is the best choice for him. I'd rather him play Kyle Rayner or a similar character.

Also, Zachary Quinto for Namor, please.

As long as they stay as far away from Ultimate Thor as possible I'll be fine.
ViperXX79 - 10/22/2009, 9:25 PM
@ TeaBag: I liked the first oceans movie too. There was lots of funny funny stuff in it.

@ LEEE777, Nice aftershave LOL ;)

@ Joob: It's not everybody. It's just the ones that do the most arguing. Peronally I don't give a hoot in hell about the CW, Ackles, Supernatural, OR Shitville.

Even if I had the freee time to waste on boring silly tv shows I still wouldn't lol
DarthMulder - 10/22/2009, 10:04 PM
God, Sam Jax as Fury huh, Well at least we'll have one black guy in this movie or else i wasnt gonna go to see it. I mean c'mon, other than pure nostalgia i almost had no other personal investment to go see it.
(And Bendis, stay outta this one i dont need any of your Dawson's Creek - Ultimate Spiderman crap mucking up this movie.)
1renaissance1 - 10/22/2009, 10:13 PM
@Movie Theatre Lad
YES!

Quinto is the MAN for Namor. He's eerily intense and hardcore as Sylar, and his otherworldy qualities of Spock would meld nicely. Throw in a crab-trawler of royal arrogance and ass-kickery you've got yourself a Sub-Mariner!
DannyRand401 - 10/23/2009, 6:46 AM
No 2 Quinto....Jason Behr for Namor



:P
teabag - 10/23/2009, 7:48 AM
You Jensen Ackles fags are going to be so pissed when they cast Nicholas Cage as Cap and Queen Latifah as Red Skull.
imnotwearinghockeypants - 10/23/2009, 8:14 AM
It will be Fantastic, it will be the second best movie of 2012 after, Batman 3
brazilianbatman - 10/23/2009, 8:40 AM
Black Fury got to be
brazilianbatman - 10/23/2009, 8:42 AM
soooo Uncle Fester says Avengers can work huh?

well that's fine. As a matter of fact I completely agree.
DarthMulder - 10/23/2009, 8:50 AM
A damned Bruce Wills dos Fury!
MisterFixit - 10/23/2009, 11:57 AM
@DarthMulder: LMAO!!!
JerzeyHellboy - 10/23/2009, 1:44 PM
Kurt Russell would of been the perfect Fury. Just watch Escape from New York.
ViperXX79 - 10/23/2009, 5:22 PM
MAD MAX for Nick Fury....what's that guy's name, umm, Oh yeah !! MEL GIBSON FOR NICK FURY.
