Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige dropped some hints about who and what to expect from the big superhero team movie ‘The Avengers’ when it eventually comes out.
Talking to Comic Book Resources, Feige admitted that Samuel L. Jackson’s nine movie deal with Marvel is indeed a clue as to how the Avengers are going to get toegther:
At the end of the first [Iron Man], for the people who were patient enough to wait through the end credits, they met this guy named Nick Fury. They or Tony had no idea who he was. In this movie, he opens that door a little bit more for Tony and invites him to walk through it. Tony may or may not do that in this movie. But Nick Fury is the conduit through which all the characters will connect.
When asked whether the Hulk would feature in the Avengers movie, Feige replied,
I think so. In the comics, he has.
Another character we can expect to see in Avengers is Scarlett Johannsen’s Black Widow; Feige was asked whether fans could expect to see her in that movie or her own spin-off, and he said,
She’s signed on for all of those should we be lucky enough to have an audience that wants to see them.
