And obviously Stark's Project PEGASUS (in IM2) wasnt enough SHIELD wanted its own one too.

Also They found a clue (Red Skull's bomber/caps shield) but not the body.. cus of shift glaciers... or Hulk smashing???

I though Cap was found by coincidence when a Russian oil team found the Valkyrie.

[frick] the tie-in comics! Put it in the movie! Everytime there's something not expanded we need to pick up a comic? Yeah the general public won't do that, thanks for confusing us Marvel Studios.... -_-

I can't wait for this! I'll be getting every issue.

There's so many questions about how the characters got to their positions in the Avengers. I'm glad they're choosing to do this for the people who care. Will save time having to squish in irrelevant scenes that will confuse the public (Feige said you won't have to have seen the previous 5 MCU movies).

WIN!

I kinda wish that The Avengers movie would take place before Captain America is found. You know have Thor, Iron Man, Hulk(controlled by Loki or Amora The Enchantress)lol I hope, Black Widow and Hawkeye trying to save the world. Then Cap is found midway into the movie.
Wildaniel
Wildaniel - 2/3/2012, 8:16 AM
Yeah, what @sorcerer123 said.

croniccris - 2/3/2012, 8:18 AM

@NeoBaggins Thunderbolt Ross featured in one of the IM2 tie-ins.

I hope this will fill in some of the blanks like Captain America first Vengeance did for Caps film
Paulley

@NoRegrets Completely agree with you

@Intruder- Then it takes away from the term Marvel "CINEMATIC" Universe.
JackBauer
JackBauer - 2/3/2012, 9:27 AM
In the movie, Project PEGASUS will be the NASA facility they used in Ohio and I'm pretty sure that someone will be playing Wendall Vaughn (Quasar), the head of security.

@Gusto - As long as they include these hotties I'll be ok with it

Am I reading this right that these comics will be 99 cents? Good deal if it's true!

Teabag: Thanks for your usual.... visual improvements to the comments section. All I can say is DAMN.
NeoBaggins
NeoBaggins - 2/3/2012, 10:15 AM
Can someone put the end credit sequences in order? I'm still confused.

IronMan: Initiatives and breaking into your home.

The Incredible HULK: Nice suits at the bar.

IronMan2: Hammer Time!

THOR: Well I guess that's worth a look.

Captain America: Wake up, Little Suzy.
