Joe Johnston, director of 'Captain America: The First Avenger', told our very own Ed Gross that there would be easter eggs in the Cap film that would connect it too all the other Avenger lead up films ('Iron Man', 'Thor', 'The Incredible Hulk'), which made us all as pumped up even more for the First Avenger.
Now as I was thinking of possible things that could connect Cap to the other Avengers, I came across something... now Joe Johnston said there would be SEVERAL things that would connect the film to Kenneth Branagh's 'Thor', and I think I found what one of those several things could be... DRUM ROLL PLEASE!
THE COSMIC CUBE? Could be!
Today I re-read the interview and I remembered that Loki was holding something that looked like the Cosmic Cube in the leaked 'Thor' trailer, and I also remembered that the footage shown at Comic-Con 2010 for 'Captain America: The First Avenger' showed Red Skull searching for the Cosmic Cube.
I mean, keeping in mind there will be several hints to 'Thor' in the film and it will only be what... possibly a two and a half hours, maybe less? How many hints could they fit in really?
Who knows, being that Red Skull is searching for the Cosmic Cube while Loki is in possession of it, maybe the Cube will set up a partnership between Red Skull and Loki? Like Johnston said, there would be events in 'Cap' that will be dealt with in 'The Avengers', so maybe the Cosmic Cube will be a big part of 'The Avengers'?
