The always reliable Devin Faraci over at Badass Digest has seemingly dropped some more hints about the direction Marvel Studios and writer/director Joss Whedon will be taking the alien invaders in come 2012's
The Avengers. Still no word on their actual identity, but if the following is correct, they may not even have one!
What they’re seeing is a major battle between the Avengers and an invading alien army (as far as I know the aliens are currently unnamed, although their design does NOT match the standard Skrull design. They’re all CGI).
It's fairly obvious that the aliens will be all CGI creations due to the stunt guys being in mo-cap costumes, but the fact that they'll be "unnamed" and won't match the standard Skrull design is very interesting indeed. Does this the alien invaders will be a different take on the iconic villains or perhaps a race such as the Kree or Inhumans? It's worth remembering that Joss Whedon created the "Breakworld" aliens during his run on
Astonishing X-Men, so it's not hard to imagine him coming up with something completely new for
The Avengers!
