Captain America producer Kevin Feige, hinted that there is an after credits that will appear on some advance screening of the movie showing the first footage of Avengers. Now, according to several reports on the web the trailer and first footage for the upcoming Joss Whedon‘s The Avengers will indeed play after Captain America: The First Avengers. This will be Marvel post-credits surprise.
A full description of the scene is below and beware as it contains Spoilers:
A new scene opened with Cap awaking in the present day. I think we all know what happens here, Cap starts to get confused and runs out in NYC where he meets NIck Fury. Now on to the post-credits scene.
It starts out with Captain America punching a punching bag until it flies off into a wall, and then enters Nick Fury. They briefly talked about a mission and that they needed to get ready, but they never explained what the mission was. And then it happened. As the music kicked in, scenes of SHEILD, Iron Man, Thor, Black Widow, Hawkeye, Bruce Banner (Mark Ruffalo), & Loki were shown!! It showed a hell of a lot of action! Thor had a brief costume change, just no chainmail under armor and his hair was a bit longer. Iron Man was shown in what looked like the Mark VI or maybe a new Mark VII armor!! I don’t recall who was fighting who or what, but it was a lot of kick-assery!! And at the end of it all, Thor threw Minjor and then it flashed… The Avengers!
Well at first there was the Avengers themselves in what looked to be a meeting room, Thor was leaning against wall with arms crossed and Cap was sitting down, as Tony Stark and Nick Fury were most likely talking about the mission that was discussed earlier with Cap and Fury and also a shot of Bruce Banner. The action scenes were confusing but from what I remember, scenes with Iron Man flying in the air, and Hawkeye shooting an arrow, along with some explosions and Black Widow kicking ass. As for Captain America only his shield and part of his Costume was shown, so I wasn’t able to tell what suit he appeared in. The last part was in a forest, Iron Man and Thor fighting, but I couldn’t tell if it was against each other or someone or something else. And then, Thor threw his hammer, similar to the way he threw it at the Frost Giants, and then flashed “The Avengers, coming May 2012”
Although Warner Bros. will own the hype this weekend for their 2012 blockbuster The Dark Knight Rises, and the trailer attached to Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 2, Sony is prepping for next weekend with the first trailer for their 2012 tentpole as the first trailer for The Amazing Spider-Man, running 2 minutes and 30 seconds, will be attached to Captain America: The First Avenger.
Entertainment Weekly also has brand new images and info on the superhero film starring Andrew Garfield and Emma Stone. The confirm that Rhys Ifans will playing The Lizard, something we pretty much knew all along. They also have this quote below:
“Four years after Spider-Man 3, starring Tobey Maguire, The Amazing Spider-Man promises to be a “more contemporary,†“more gritty,†and “more character-driven†look at the comic book hero. He’s a hero the 27-year-old Garfield knows well. Growing up, “I related to Peter Parker [Spidey’s alter ego] so much because I felt like someone else inside,†he says. “I loved the comic books and the animated TV series and I even dressed up as Spider-Man as a kid.â€
Director Marc Webb, who is making this big blockbuster his sophomore effort added: “Ultimately what this movie is about is a kid who grows up looking for his father and finds himself. And that’s a Spider-Man story we haven’t seen before.†Denis Leary, Campbell Scott, Irrfan Khan, Martin Sheen, and Sally Field all co-star in the film and you can see the images and scans below courtesy of iFanboy via thefilmstage.
20th Century Fox has unleashed the first bunch of character trailers for the upcoming comic adaptation X-Men: First Class. The characters are Banshee, Havok and Beast. The movie hits theaters in just under a month, taking Professor X and Magneto back to their early days and introducing a new group of mutants to the live-action “X-Men” universe.
Banshee Played by Caleb Landry Jones, is Sean Cassidy, whose power manifests itself in a powerful “sonic scream” that he can use as a weapon or a method of flight.
Havok Played by Lucas Till, is Alex Summers, he is able to generate powerful “plasma blasts” that he has difficulty controlling. He’s eventually outfitted with a uniform that allows him to focus the energy he releases from the his body into a powerful beam.
Beast played by Nicholas Hoult, is Hank McCoy, he reveals the true nature of his mutation in the above trailer, and we get a peek at the drastic changes he underwent in his early years with Charles Xavier.
Official Synopsis:
X-MEN FIRST CLASS charts the epic beginning of the X-Men saga, and reveals a secret history of famous global events. Before mutants had revealed themselves to the world, and before Charles Xavier and Erik Lehnsherr took the names Professor X and Magneto, they were two young men discovering their powers for the first time. Not archenemies, they were instead at first the closest of friends, working together with other Mutants (some familiar, some new), to prevent nuclear Armageddon. In the process, a grave rift between them opened, which began the eternal war between Magneto’s Brotherhood and Professor X’s X-Men.
X-Men: First Class has a new international trailer for you. The film stars James McAvoy, Michael Fassbender, Nicholas Hoult, Jennifer Lawrence, Jason Flemyng, Kevin Bacon, January Jones, Lucas Till, Rose Byrne and Caleb Landry Jones. The movie comes out on the 3rd of June in the US.
Check out the international trailer below:
And here is a little tidbit to throw out, a full character breakdown obtained by MSN:
James McAvoy on Charles Xavier:
Charles has this connection to everybody because he can feel their experiences and see them. Their memories are his memories. But he wasn’t looking for Erik. He didn’t know Erik was there and he suddenly felt him. And perhaps he’s never connected to Erik in quite the same way he’s connected to other people. I think there’s a little bit of vying for who’s in charge, and there is a feeling between them from Magneto that, ‘you’ve got the brains, but I’m your trump card, pal,’ at every venture. ‘I’m the most dangerous dude in here, and you know that and I know that,’ and I think by the end of the film we come to an understanding about that as well. We do have completely different views as well, and what’s quite nice is that those scenes don’t come to a nice reconciliation at the end. They’re left, so the tension carries on through the movie.
Michael Fassbender on Magneto:
At the start of the movie we get introduced to Erik as a boy. We start in the concentration camps with him and it cuts to 20 years later and it’s the early 60s and it’s Erik as a grown man. He’s on a quest to get Sebastian Shaw, played by Kevin Bacon. Shaw had him in these concentration camps – and as we know the Nazis were doing lots of experimentation with all sorts of things like measuring skull size and brain size and running experiments on human beings, essentially. Shaw is trying to unleash this power in Magneto – he’s recognised that he can manipulate metal – and so we catch up with Erik on a quest to basically hunt Shaw down.
Jennifer Lawrence on Mystique:
Raven, or Mystique, is a shape shifter, and when she’s in her natural, blue, scaly, red hair form she also has superhuman agility. She’s young and she’s a normal teenager, really, just dealing with insecurities. She’s insecure about being a mutant and she slowly grows to really accept it and evolve herself. She’s been shape shifting for a long time, but she’s really just learning about her superhuman ability. She discovers that in the movie.
Lucas Till on Havok:
Alex Summers, whose super name is Havok, is Scott ‘Cyclops’ Summers’s younger brother. I can shoot plasma beams out of my entire body instead of just optic beams. Just like Scott can’t control his power without glasses or his visor on, historically Alex has never been able to control his power either. It’s always in outbursts of lack of control. In the comics he has a suit that kind of absorbs excess energy. But it was more like a meter that told him how much power he had, whereas in this one I have something that channels it because I can’t control it myself. It’s a chest piece that focuses the ray so I don’t blow it out everywhere.
Nicholas Hoult on Beast:
He’s a young scientist – a very clever guy – but a little bit shy and awkward around the girls and just socially awkward around the group. He’s a good guy, but it’s hard work for him. He’s a great scientist though and he comes up with all of these inventions that sometimes work and sometimes don’t, and then he tries out a serum from Mystique’s (pictured left) DNA to try and stop his feet from appearing apelike and massive, because he’s very self-conscious about it. Unfortunately that goes wrong and he becomes the Beast that we know from the other films and cartoons and comics. It’s fascinating to see the difference, when he becomes the Beast, between Hank and this very animalistic and scary-looking character.
Edi Gathegi on Darwin:
Darwin gets his nickname from Charles Darwin, the father of the theory of evolution. My character is in a constant state of evolution. It’s called reactive adaptation – so whatever environment he’s in, in order to survive he will mutate. If he gets thrown in water, all of a sudden he might have gills. The lights go out, he’ll have 20-20 vision in the pitch black. He’s the coolest one! What I like about my character’s powers is that a lot of the X-Men have very cool powers, but with this one you actually see it happening and you see why it’s happening. In the right circumstances you see the thought behind the character and the need to create that evolution. There’s logic to it. And the possibilities are endless with good writing.
Caleb Landry on Banshee:
Banshee’s got a supersonic scream, and he learns how to fly in this movie. He learns how to melt objects. In the beginning all he really knows is how to break things – car doors I’m guessing, things like that. And he’s got selective hearing. In the comics it seems like they reinvent him over and over again. He’s always pretty smart, it seems like. He’s mostly good. The script definitely defines him more than the comics do, because I’ve got to do what the script says. I try to add as much as possible. I know there’s a love connection in the comics with Moira, so I try to look at her just a little bit differently, you know, when I can, so for any of the fans watching, they can notice that.
Zoe Kravitz on Tempest:
Angel Salvadore is a go-go dancer who can fly. I have a pair of tattooed wings on my back, which turn into insect wings, and I projectile vomit acid. I get to do that a few times. She starts out on the good side with Professor X and Magneto – they recruit her to be an X-Man, and then she switches to Sebastian Shaw’s (Kevin Bacon) side to be in Hellfire. I think it’s just a different approach to fighting for human equality. Someone compared the two different sides. In this film it’s Hellfire and the X-Men, but later it’s Xavier and Magneto and someone compared it to Martin Luther King and Malcolm X. They’re really fighting for the same thing, but it’s different approaches for how to get there. I think she just believes that the aggressive side is the right side.
Jason Fleming on Azazel:
He’s a bad guy. Kevin Bacon’s got a team of freaky sidekicks, one of them being the fantastic January Jones, and one of them being the not so fantastic bright red Jason Flemyng, and also Alex Gonzalez who plays Riptide. And latterly in the film we recruit Zoe Kravitz as well. They’re just goons, but my skill, if I have any skill at all, is to make something out of what on paper isn’t too much. If I do a day and I’ve added a line or nicked a close up, I’m happy with myself. As the days progress, because it’s a long film, I’m sort of happy with how the part is developing. Matt (Vaughn, director) keeps coming up to me and saying, ‘Flemyng, all the second unit stuff I get back, you’re speaking. You haven’t got any lines – why are you speaking?!
Rose Byrne on Moira MacTaggart:
Moira works for the CIA. In the comics she’s a genetic, mutant expert scientist, and she was in the third film – Olivia Williams played her – but in this incarnation she works for the CIA and early on gets involved with Charles Xavier, discovering mutants. She knows that he’s an expert on genetic mutation, so she seeks him out and they become allies. She’s a real pioneer woman. It’s set in ’62 and she’s in the CIA so it’s very new for women to have that opportunity. She’s working in a pretty misogynistic place, so she’s got a lot of guts and she’s driven.
