More Red Carpet

As I’m sure many of you know, they are making yet another movie on me (oh, and the four other guys that make up The Avengers).  When times were simpler, Thor, Captain America, Hulk, Hawkeye, and I took matters into our own hands.  For those that might not be as familiar, these are the guys I raised hell with and you should know them too.

Thor, who actually has his own movie out right now, is one of the few of us who was just given his powers.  Not something you see everyday.  He walks around with his big hammer and thinks he’s something, haha.  He’ll kick your ass and take your girl, which is why he is on my team.  He has trouble with his “previous life” and his memory is worse than an 80-year old man.  However, he is one of my best friends and I just hope they don’t cast another Ken Barbie Doll for his character.

Captain America (quite a name right?), this is the one guy who actually has worked for the government and still might be allowed on White House grounds.  Bascially, the good guy.  Every crew has one and he’s ours.  The man has no powers, no suit, not anything.  He runs, jumps, and actually does the fighting himself.  Refusing to take any outside advice, he is what he is.  Oh, I almost forgot, while we fight the worst villains in the world, he carriers around a shield.  Supposedly, it can never be broken but he still won’t stand in front of my rockets for a test.  It seems they chose another poser for this role, Chris Evans.  They guy has been playing superheroes in movies since he started.  He gave the Human Torch the quite an embarrassing reputation with his performance in the Fantastic Four.  We’ll see how he will do as Captain America.

BIG MAN!  The Incredible Hulk they call him.  Bigger than a freakin bear when he’s all jacked up.  The man fights with his shirt off so the whole world can see his body.  Resulting from a science experiment gone wrong, he has the shear strength of a semi and the looks of … well … I’ll just let you decide.  He gets bigger as he gets more pissed off.  So that’s always fun to get started.  I’m talking big.  He slaps his hands together and it sends a shockwave around him.  He’s the meathead, but also has a PhD in physics.  Mark Ruffalo is playing him.  What in the world was casting thinking on that one.  I’m not sure if the guy has any superhero in him.

Last but not least, there is the man that not many people talk about.  Kind of the newcomer in the group, but certainly has not acted like it.  Hawkeye, sometimes people call him Ronin or Goliath, shoots with a bow an arrow.  Yeah … I know.  The thing is, as much as I hate to say it, he doesn’t miss and usually brings the place down faster than any of us can.

From what I hear it does not come out until next Spring, so you will all just have to wait to see what Hollywood can come up with next.
