There'll be four major battles in the upcoming Ultimate Avengers movie, says producer/director Bob Richardson.
"Which is a lot to put in a 70-minute movie," he told attendees at this weekend's Wizard World Texas.
Richardson showed a clip of one of those battles as Captain America, Giant-Man, Thor, Iron Man, Black Widow, Nick Fury and Betty Ross try to control a rampaging Hulk.
Ultimates artist Bryan Hitch and Marvel Studios’ Craig Kyle joined Richardson on the panel.
"The script was fantastic," Hitch said. "It had all the elements of the comic -- the angst, the characterization and the intensity."
Also, the first four direct-to-DVD Marvel animated films -- Ultimate Avengers 1 and 2, Iron Man and Doctor Strange -- will be released about three months apart, with Doctor Strange targeted for February 2007, according to Comics Continuum.
The Giant-Man/Wasp abuse element from the comics was toned down because there wasn't time in the film for Giant-Man to redeem himself, Kyle said.
