Avengers Assembled

On Saturday Comic con wrapped with a big bang, even though it is still a few years off Marvel announced the line up for the up coming Avengers movie.

Joss Whedon in an earlier panel confirmed rumors that have been circulating for weeks that he would be the director. While that alone was exciting news for both Marvel Zombies (die hard Marvel fans) and Whedonites (die hard Whedon fans) Marvel had both barrels loaded and announced the primary cast.

Samuel L. Jackson as Nick Fury
Robert Downey Jr. as Tony Stark
Clark Gregg as Agent Coulson
Scarlett Johansson as Black Widow
Chris Hemsworth as Thor
Chris Evans as Captain America
Jeremy Renner as Hawkeye
Mark Ruffalo as Bruce Banner / Incredible Hulk

As reported earlier Edward Norton will not be reprising the roll of   Bruce Banner / Incredible Hulk, this time it will be Mark Ruffalo filling the shoes of the jade giant. While many fans are upset by the loss of Norton with a 2012 release date the transition to Ruffalo may smooth out in time. Along with the addition of Jeremy Renner as Hawkeye there you have it  the earth’s mightiest heroes, The Avengers, have assembled.
