Marvel Talks Up Live Action Avengers Film
The House of Ideas is pitching the idea of a feature film on Earth's Mightiest Heroes to its investors.
Marvel talked with investors yesterday about its Avengers live action film, according to Hollywood Reporter.
"Some time after Marvel Entertainment unleashes 'Iron Man,' 'The Incredible Hulk' and a few other choice superheroes as stars of their own feature films, the company intends to release a live-action 'The Avengers,'" the trade said.
"Set to pen the screenplay is Zak Penn, the writer behind the last two X-Men movies from 20th Century Fox and Marvel. Executives spoke briefly about their 'Avengers' plan Wednesday during a presentation to Wall Street analysts at the Merrill Lynch Media & Entertainment Conference in Pasadena. The comic book 'The Avengers' began as a team consisting of superheroes Thor, Ant-Man, Wasp, Iron Man and Hulk. Later, Captain America and a host of others joined. Marvel calls the Avengers 'Earth's mightiest heroes,'" Hollywood Reporter says.
