Marvel talked with investors yesterday about its Avengers live action film, according to Hollywood Reporter.

"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,'" the trade said.

"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,'" Hollywood Reporter says.
