I wasn’t fussed about the forthcoming Avengers film, the latest in Marvel Comic’s series of adaptations until I saw Captain America. I loved it and think it was one of the best blockbusters of summer 2011. Then I discovered that Buffy the Vampire Slayer creator Joss Whedon was writing and directing. I was sold, this looked like the film to beat next year. The first trailer has now been released and while I’ve seen a couple of grumbles I think it looks great – Robert Downey Jr looks to be stealing the show. Let me know what you think in the comments – are you looking forward to The Avengers?

I agree that it looks like it could be a fun movie to watch!
Being a bit of a Marvel fan means I’m really looking forward to this movie, but whilst the trailer is fantastic! it does look a bit Transformers-esuqe. Also another area that I think could be an issue is that it has so many big-name characters to make it work, and agree Iron Man is going to get the lion share, but then being RDJ this was inevitable wouldn’t you agree?
I think RDJ has so much more charisma than the other stars so even if the script is even-handed enough, he’ll still steal the show. I enjoyed Chris Evans in Captain America but up against RDJ he’ll get lost.
