Doug Finberg Says "Don't Worry The Avengers Will Be Fine"

Marvel's own Head of Marketing Doug Finberg weighs in on the question scratching everyone's noodle. Will The Avengers movie be ok?

The Avengers is going to happen. Which by the way is great, ya know, Thank God. The better news is that Fox studios have nothing to do with this ensemble of Superhero's so hopefully it wont be as watered down either. But rest assured The Avengers will hit the big screen in a couple years whether its good, bad, or ugly. There has been recent speculation by no other then the films screen play writer Zak Penn that The Avengers might suck. Well Marvel's own Head of Marketing Doug Finberg, has certain confidence in the outcome of what has the potential to be the GREATEST superhero ensemble movies of all time.

Doug feels the best way to portray The Avengers on the big screen is by using (ironically) the right mixture of teamwork to get the film right.

“Having everybody on board and really being able to actually work as a team together and develop the Marvel cinematic universe is what’s most important to us,” Finberg told Sci Fi Wire.




And Dave is right. Jon Favreau is not alone in his quest to make Marvel the most profitable movie studio this side of the century. Jon has the likes of “Thor” director Kenneth Branagh and “The First Avenger: Captain America” Director Joe Johnston to aid Jon in his quest. Those guys have to play nice with each other for The Avengers to properly appear as a team. The character development is key and also knowing the right way to have these characters intermingle when the time comes for The Avengers to Assemble!!!

The always yelling even when he talks Samuel L. Jackson, who signed a 9 picture movie deal with Marvel as Nick Fury may be the key that Marvel is looking for. Samuel L. Jackson was already in Iron Man and now Iron Man 2, and you can bet your sweet mama's apple pie that he will be in "Thor" and somehow appear in "The First Avenger: Captain America" leading up to "The Avengers."

“Well, we have a multi-picture deal with him, so obviously we're in business with him for a while to come, and we really enjoy working with Sam,” Finberg said of the always seemingly angry Samuel L. Jackson.

Even with Marvel's confidence in Samuel L. Jackson they realize that even he might not be enough to make "The Avengers" assemble correctly. Finberg says that an entirely different more important group will make the ultimate decision whether or not "The Avengers" is successful or not: The Fans.

States Finberg: “Ultimately, the final expectation, the final verdict, is with the fans, and that’s something that the team of Marvel does a phenomenal job at, actually making the best movie from the material they can.”

I dont know this movie kind of worries me. There's gonna be so much star power it might take away from the story. But if they pull it of right it may be the best comic movie ever.

The way I've been looking at it...you will almost have to seperate the heros into sub groups working to put a puzzle together.

it would be hard to have them all together durring the entire movie.

on a side note...man i miss the black and white spiderman uniform.

I have a feeling they will pull heavily from the Ultimates material.

thegreek - 6/30/2009, 12:36 PM

This is for you Saber

Justice Vs Avengers

longbowhunter - 6/30/2009, 12:40 PM
Justice League vs. Avengers is really a moot point. Both teams/titles are only as good as their writers allow them to be. Both have sucked and flourished past and present.

not sure how SJ's Nick Fury would make an appearance in The First Avenger, being that it's gonna take place in a WWII setting, interesting idea though hmmmmm.
Maybe a Great Great Grandfather of SJ's Nick Fury???? that would be a nice tie in eh
thegreek
thegreek - 6/30/2009, 12:44 PM
@ Longbow- Thank you for clarifying .... But we all know that the best Super-heros ever are Bat-man and Daredevil ... Because Batman can kill anyone ... and Daredevil would sue them and make them poor ... LOL
SabretoothTiger
SabretoothTiger - 6/30/2009, 12:47 PM
lol daredevil i think the avengers are better just cause i like the characters more as far as strength and who would win it would be a tie cause theyre both equal in that sense its just marvels cooler than dc dont get me wrong i love bats and green lantern but i hate superman and especially aquaman i mean come on hes gonna beat you up with fish

longbowhunter - 6/30/2009, 12:52 PM
Again I think both teams have lame characters. Sabertooth Tiger, how do ya' feel about Wonderman?
SabretoothTiger
SabretoothTiger - 6/30/2009, 12:53 PM

longbowhunter - 6/30/2009, 12:55 PM

SabretoothTiger
SabretoothTiger - 6/30/2009, 12:55 PM

longbowhunter
longbowhunter - 6/30/2009, 12:58 PM
While Magneto and Sabertooth are two of my favorite Marvels, ya' gotta' have an appreciation for villians like Deathstroke, Deadshot, hell even Heatwave watched his whole family burn to death!

thegreek - 6/30/2009, 12:58 PM
Lol... I'll tell you Saber I used to be a big Marvel fan .. I don't know if you remember Darkhawk but i used to read his comics as well as Ghost rider ... But ever since i read the crossovers and the DC v.s Marvel comic i just gained alot more interest in DC ... For god sake Wonder woman Snaps a guys neck like it was nothing ... Blue Beetle got shot right in the head crazy ass stuff ...

Oh just in case u were wondering who darkhawk is ....

Dc Villains are pretty bad ass dude ... Black Adam... Mary Marvel was sicko chick... Doomsday is a creature that keeps evolving so u can't beat him the same way u did before... U really need to check 'em out
thegreek
thegreek - 6/30/2009, 1:05 PM
@ Viper ... LMAO
longbowhunter
longbowhunter - 6/30/2009, 1:06 PM
As far as Marvel's cosmic stories go I have to agree. Silver Surfer is as far as I go. I've heard good things about Annilation.
SabretoothTiger
SabretoothTiger - 6/30/2009, 1:07 PM
ya well ill have to check out darkhawk lol and ya wonderwoman can snap necks well rogue could touch someone and kill them and jean can just get in your head and force you to do what she wants lol
Batmanknight
Batmanknight - 6/30/2009, 1:07 PM
Justice League would beat the shit out of the Avengers. The DC villans are also better than Marvels by far.
SabretoothTiger
SabretoothTiger - 6/30/2009, 1:08 PM
ya doomsday is a sick villian i forgot to mention him he is one of my faves from dc
longbowhunter
longbowhunter - 6/30/2009, 1:08 PM
TheGreek is right Sabertooth Tiger, for your own benefit check out some of these characters. Black Adam is scarey!
SabretoothTiger
SabretoothTiger - 6/30/2009, 1:10 PM

SabretoothTiger
SabretoothTiger - 6/30/2009, 1:18 PM
