I saw this earlier on but didn't pay too much attention as it seemed ridiculous to think that Marvel would re-release the movie so soon after its first theatrical run, but, it seems there might be some truth to it after all. The rumor first popped up over at Superheroauthority, who write..
The Avengers is sitting comfortably at No. 3 overall on both the domestic and International ticket sale charts but it seems both Marvel and Disney desire the No. 1 overall spot and a current rumor says they could be contemplating releasing The Avengers: Director's Cut in theaters at the end of this summer.
So basically, word is Marvel really want those #1 and #2 spots currently held by Avatar and Titanic, and plan to re-release The Avengers will an extra 35 or so minutes of screen time back into theaters to try and nab them. And now Movies.com have picked up on the story, but add that although Marvel have declined to comment, one Hollywood insider has conformed that this is at least a possibility. So, as strange as it sounds, we might just get to see that highly anticipated director's cut of The Avengers in theaters a lot sooner that we expected.
