thats a bummer, I too was also looking forward to seeing some webslinging going on. It was about halfway through this episode of moviebob that I realised that spiderman's villain "the green goblin" was also genetically altered by a chemical. It got me thinking that maybe this was in one way or another similar to the chemical used by hulk/cap. but FUCK no spiderman or X-men!
Escape to the Movies: Avengers: Assemble!

This sounds like some sort of conspiracy theory 
I'd laugh if this somehow worked and everyone was like "WOOOAH NICE JOB THAT WAS AMAZING"
And then the producers said... "Uhhhh... sure we MEANT to do that..."

Its only sad that Marvel doesn't have the rights to some of their biggest franchises...Spider Man, FF, X-Men...all rather conspicuously absent from the "Marvel Cinematic Universe" because Sony is greedy and wants to make a Spider Man reboot which will undoubtedly suck, but everyone will go see it anyway because they wanna prove how much it sucks, sony will make gobs of cash and they'll continue the abomination because all the geeks/nerds walked right into sony's evil demented plan...
Sorry for the nerdrage.
I really wish Marvel would get spider man back and continue where it WAS, even if Venom was kinda a pansy (I don't count emo-Parker as bad because I thought it was funny as hell and a wonderful depiction of what would happen when a total geek gets infused with a huge amount of confidence) it was still better than any crap Sony is gonna spew out now: Taylor Lautner as Peter Parker anyone? (No that's not a fact, that's me being a whiney nerd)

I'm very much a DC fan to heart, but the aspect of hearing the words "Avenges Assemble" on screen is something of epic proportions that DC comics yet to have for their DCs respective teams to rally behind. When the movie does come out DC/Warner will without a doubt have a hard time for one their movies/franchises to match what Marvel is putting out.
I have to give some kudos to Marvel of their ability of dropping cross franchise references, the subtle and the obvious ones, that DC can't quite do with their live action movies(the only one that I know of was in that horrid batman and robin where they mention metropolis).

I wasn't really excited about Iron Man 2, even though I was one of the five people waiting 5 minutes for the end credits bit. Probably do to the fact that, while a Marvel fan, I haven't actually heard of the Avengers that much.

Joss Whedon To Rewrite 'Captain America'?
16 April 2010 7:00 AM, PDT | MTV Splash Page | See recent MTV Splash Page news »
Earlier this week, reports emerged that Joss Whedon is in final negotiations to direct "The Avengers," with an additional report indicating that Whedon will also rewrite the film's script as well.
While Whedon's involvement with "The Avengers" has yet to be confirmed by either Whedon or Marvel Studios, an additional rumor has linked Whedon to another Marvel film.
According to Pajiba, Whedon will also rewrite Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeely's screenplay for "The First Avenger: Captain America." However, this rumor is still unconfirmed and calls to Whedon's representatives were not returned at press time.
Chris Evans was recently cast as Steve Rogers after an exhaustive search, before he was joined by Sebastian Stan as Bucky and Hayley Atwell as Peggy Carter. Hugo Weaving is still reportedly in negotiations to appear as the Red Skull.
Whedon's involvement with the "Captain America" script would potentially increase his long-standing association with Marvel.

I dunno why MovieBob didn't mention it, but at the above news page, there's a report that makes it clear that the ppl in charge are aware of it...steffi said:
I'm curious about one thing: isn't Captain America supposed to be dead [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Death_of_Captain_America]? So does his movie and the avengers movie just ignore this fact, featuring a completely stand-alone storyline? Or is this an Ultime Captain, just like we have Ultimate (Black) Fury. Or is this a Siege tie-in where Cap is back alive?MovieBob said:
