It has recently been annoucned that Zak Penn will be writing the script for "The Avengers" movie.
Marvel describes the property as follows: "The Avengers are Earth's mightiest heroes, formed to fight the foes no single hero could withstand. The Avengers are the most prestigious and powerful super-hero team in the world."

The Hollywood Reporter says that Marvel talked about the live-action The Avengers feature:
Some time after Marvel Entertainment unleashes "Iron Man," "The Incredible Hulk" and a few other choice superheroes as stars of their own feature films, the company intends to release a live-action "The Avengers." Set to pen the screenplay is Zak Penn, the writer behind the last two X-Men movies from 20th Century Fox and Marvel. Executives spoke briefly about their "Avengers" plan Wednesday during a presentation to Wall Street analysts at the Merrill Lynch Media & Entertainment Conference in Pasadena. The comic book "The Avengers" began as a team consisting of superheroes Thor, Ant-Man, Wasp, Iron Man and Hulk. Later, Captain America and a host of others joined. Marvel calls the Avengers "Earth's mightiest heroes."

I'm having mixed feelings about this. Unless they're going to have the same actors playing Captain America, Iron Man and Hulk that they're having in their own movies, I don't want to see it. Continuity is an issue for me.
As for the people, they necessary don't need the Hulk in the movie, having Thor is enough, Captain America and Iron Man are a must, and hopefully they will include Quicksilver, Scarlet Witch, Vision and Hawkeye.

I think that is what they are aiming at. They're going to get all of the solo movies out of the way so they can combine them all for the bigger picture a.k.a. The Avengers.

and they have to have hulk. he's an original member. u know ant-man will be in the movie since he's getting his own. maybe hulk will be the villian that way they can get him off the team.

yeah but they need cap. they could always bend the rules a bit. in x-men the movie, the 5 x-men were cyclops, jean, storm, wolverine, and rouge when the original x-men were cyclops, iceman, angel, beast, and jean.

Yeah for the most part, but they do try to stick to the comics as much as possible.

Eh, I'm sure they will try to stick to the Avengers plotline as much as possible. I understand that they have to modernize the movies to appeal to the general public, not just the comic fans.
