Having worked with Marvel Studios on pretty much all of their big screen adaptations (primarily on the character of Iron Man) artist Adi Granov knows his stuff, and dropped a few teases about what we will and more than likely won't see in upcoming movies such as The Avengers and Iron Man 3. The following is just a few excerpts from the interview conducted by our friends over at Bad Taste Blog, but you can read the whole thing by clicking on the link below.
On The Overwhelming Fan Desire To See The "Hulkbutser" Armor On The Big Screen:
I know. I see it: in the first movie was Iron Monger, and the idea for that came from Hulkbuster. I did a cover with Hulkbuster. A Jon Favreau really liked, and asked me to design something similar to Iron Monger. So technically it is the Iron Monger Hulkbuster, and I think that for this reason that for a while 'time did not see in the movies.
On The Iron Man 2 "Fing Fang Foom" Cameo And Whether We'll See The Villain Again:
Well, Fing Fang Foom is an old villain of Iron Man Director Jon Favreau and I were doing a comic together and Fing Fang Foom was the villain. So I designed, and Jon asked me if I could also designed a poster to be included in the film. It 'was the reason. A kind of wink to the fact that we had been working in comics. Fing Fang Foom I think it's a little...is a character who works in the comics, but I do not think that the general public understand that sees the Marvel movie...I think they would feel ridiculous.
On Whether He Can Reveal Anything About The Avengers And Iron Man 3:
The problem is that I do not know really what to show and what has already been revealed by Marvel. For example, I created an illustration for the film we see the Avengers for the first time the group together all of the Avengers. I met a friend a few weeks ago that had that picture as your desktop, and it upset me: I asked him where he came from, because I did not know that Marvel had published it. A few weeks before on the internet showed a trailer that had the illustration, and I did not even know that there would be. Someone had made a screenshot, and the image was everywhere. I can not keep me updated with all this information.
On Whether The Mysterious Motion Capture Villains Will Indeed Be The Skrulls:
Actually I know very well who will be the villain in the movie, but I can neither confirm nor talk about it! [Laughs]
