‘The Avengers’ Hero Lineup Revealed!

avengers

Marvel Studios head of production Kevin Feige has indirectly confirmed the crime-fighting roster to Marvel’s upcoming superhero epic The Avengers.

In an interview with British sci-fi mag SFX, Feige says:

My only concern is that when we launch a franchise … whichever characters franchise that may be, it should stand on its own two feet. With Iron Man being the first one out of the gate, thank goodness thats what happend. Everyone loved it. Its our job to do the same with Thor and Captain America two years from now, so by the time The Avengers comes in 2012 its not just a team super hero movie with a bunch of characters with powers, its three people, four including Hulk , five including Nick Fury-who you have seen before in other movies, coming together for the very first time.

The Avengers is slated for release in 2012.
