all I ask
As Marvel’s 2011 summer film slate of Thor and Captain America start gathering more attention, pre-production is ramping up on Avengers, directed by Joss Whedon. The result of this, of course, is lots of promotional interviews with cast and crew, such as the interview with Chris “Thor” Hemsworth mentioned in this aicn piece, where we’re treated to the least obvious spoiler tease ever, that Thor and the Hulk might end up having a fight.
I’m sure that’ll be the case, and it’ll all be a great misunderstanding before everyone assembles to fight whatever larger big bad the script presents. And it’ll most certainly be really cool.
However, what I really want is this scene, a panel ripped directly from Avengers #1 back in September 1963, included in the film:
Yes, the Hulk, forced into hiding by General “Thunderbolt” Ross and the rest of the US military, figured the best way to stay under the radar was by joining the circus, posing as Mechano the robot clown, and juggling multiple animal species in front of a live audience.
Makes perfect sense to me. And it’s comics canon. Shouldn’t it end up in any film that respects its source material, Mr. Whedon?
