AVENGERS (2012) MOVIE: ANOTHER BIG VILLAIN - COSMIC FANS TAKE NOTE!
From CosmicBookNews.com by Matt McGloin
Spoilers, ahoy!
Holy Cats and Dogs!
We've already know that Loki is supposed to be the villain in the Avengers, that he gets a hold of the cosmic cube, and summons an alien invasion force (Kree or Skrulls).
Now, Latino Review states there is another "Big" villain - and it's THANOS!
They state it as fact, too.
It does fit with what we have seen in Thor, as the post-credit scene showed Loki controlling Erik Selvig as Nick Fury revealed the cosmic cube.
Also, the Infinity Gauntlet was shown as a treasure in Odin's treasure chamber -- and was first revealed at last year's San Diego Comic Con.
Wow!
Just what role is Thanos going to play? And what the heck is the Infinity Gauntlet?
Well, if you read the comics (we do!) you know Thanos is the Mad Titan who's love for Death (yes, an actual entity) is matched by none (who would love death, anyway?!). Thanos acquires the six Infinity Gems and when combined -- they give him control over all time, space, reality, power, mind and soul.
In essence, Thanos is the king of the entire Universe -- or god! Thanos ends up killing off half the population of the Universe as a way to show his love for Death.
Yeah, the guy is a powerhouse, like none other -- and I can't see the Avengers even standing a chance!
I could see Loki bringing the Kree or Skrulls to Asgard/Midgard and during the attack, the Infinity Gauntlet somehow gets out of Odin's treasure chamber, which might have acted as a shield from prying eyes (Thanos). Once it's out of the chamber, Thanos takes notice and heads for Asgard and Earth!
Maybe, this is a set up for "Avengers 2" -- as the Avengers would need some heavy hitters to help out.
Marvel Studios President and Producer, Kevin Feige, did mention a Guardians of the Galaxy movie!
Also interestingly enough, Marvel has put their recent cosmic line on "hiatus." Could they be re-launching the line to follow the Avengers movie in 2012?
The Avengers hits May 4th, 2012 and is directed by Joss Whedon, starring Robert Downey Jr. as Iron Man, Chris Hemsworth as Thor, Chris Evans as Captain America, Samuel L. Jackson as Nick Fury, Mark Ruffalo as the Hulk, Scarlett Johansson as the Black Widow and Jeremy Renner as Hawkeye.

DC Announces Date For Expensive “Bombshell Announcements”
Well, at least we now know when DC is planning to release info about the big changes expected to their DC Universe line following the conclusion of Flashpoint. The LA Times has announced that both Geoff Johns and Jim Lee will be appearing at its “Hero Complex Film Festival” on June 11th to drop “bombshell announcements about the future of Superman and the entire DC Universe.” Tickets for the event, which also includes a double feature of Superman The Movie and Superman II: The Richard Donner Cut, along with a Q&A with Donner, cost $45, meaning that – let’s face it – most of us will be following along on the internet.
Update...
From BleedingCool.com
A few weeks ago, Bleeding Cool told you that DC Comics was bringing you something called Dark. And illustrated it with a black rectangle. Because I had no other image to show.From CosmicBookNews.com
I still don’t. But I do have the first title for whatever Dark may be.
Justice League Dark.
This is post-Flashpoint, folks.
We’re talking an A-list creative team as well.
But whatever Dark is, it won’t stop at Justice League Dark. What’s next?
Just no one mention Dark Avengers, Dark X-Men or Dark Wolverine though okay? Keep it schtum.
We heard the news earlier that Johns and Lee are set to make a big announcement come June, and that Superman is tied to that.
Over at Bleeding Cool, they have been getting some info on DC going "Dark."
Now, their current info is that post-Flashpoint there will be a "Justice League Dark" with some pretty hefty names attached, though presently unknown.
Lee and Johns?
No idea.
I think it's safe to say that something big happens with Flashpoint, as DC has solicited only FP #5 for the last week of August - and Johns is keeping mum on what happens post-fp.
Just how big?
Assuming Bleeding Cool is correct and we are getting a "Justice League Dark" - could the entire DCU be going "Dark."
Dark Superman, Dark(er) Batman, Dark Flash? Or Superman Dark, Batman Dark(er) and Flash Dark --as Marvel already coined "Dark" before their titles, I suppose, would be more correct.
Anwyay...
Maybe some of the alternate versions of heroes that are currently "living" in Flashpoint survive and make their way to the "regular" DCU -- and, maybe, some of the "regular" heroes, don't.
We'll find out sooner -- or later...
