With all the images and videos hitting in the last few days seemingly verifying aliens as one of the antagonists in Marvels upcoming
Avengers film, the hot topic has turned to "which race is Marvel using?" People have been arguing the point nonstop since the first image of police officers shooting at the sky appeared. Is it those nasty, shape shifting Skrulls? Maybe it will be the Kree? Could they possibly go with the Badoon?
While browsing around for new set videos and photo's from
The Avengers filming currently going on in Cleveland, I ran across this eye catching piece of information from Michael Sangiacomo on CLEVELAND.COM. In the middle of reporting on what downtown Cleveland is going through while in the midst of filming, he tossed the following juicy and unexpected tidbit into the article.
A person close to the filming confirmed a long-held belief that the villains in the film -- besides Thor's evil half-brother, Loki -- are the shape-changing aliens, The Skrulls, who have been perennial villains in the Marvel Universe since 1961.
As usual with any report not coming directly from a named source, this should be taken with a grain of salt until verified but I thought the possibility was worth sharing. I would venture a guess that the real confirmation on just which alien race is attacking will come at this weekends D23 Expo.
