Introducing: your Avengers
Jun. 14th, 2011 02:36 pmTo make this an "all geeking all the time" post: tonight is the Extended Fellowship of the Ring screening! Woo!
Meanwhile, in entirely other geeking news...
I've been somewhat interested in the whole Marvel Cinematic Universe stuff that's been developing, but that really kicked into overdrive for me after "Thor" came out last month. Thor is... let's see... yeah, the first conventional thing I've become fannish* for since SG-1 all those years ago. (* My definition of "become fannish for" is "interested enough to want to read fic for it, and find online communities to follow news and discussion for it". So, I watch plenty of shows and films and enjoy the hell out of them, without joining their fandoms.) (I'm not really counting ElfQuest or LOTR/Hobbit, as those have been fannish interests of mine for a really really long time.)
And for me, interest in "Thor" goes hand in hand with interest in "The Avengers" (i.e. the team-up movie featuring RDJ's Iron Man, Hemsworth's Thor, Chris Evans' Captain America, etc., directed by Joss Whedon and scheduled to be in theaters next May).
That means I'll probably post various tidbits about it from time to time. So! First tidbit!
GROUP SHOT!
Click to embiggen. This is a promo image prepared for a Licensing Expo going on right now in Las Vegas. So, it's more toy/merchandise-related, and is not a representation of what they'll use for marketing the movie. It's not a photo of the assembled cast. But still -- it's the first movieverse group shot of the team. So: SQUEEEEE!
