Plus it adds to New York being the greatest city in the world, and think of the tourism dollars! Just as long as Spider-Man isn't involved. Or Horizon Labs.

May 8, 2012 3:35 pm I don't think Thanos would need an army if he had the Infinity Gauntlet - if he wants to destroy something, it is gone by pure thought. To conquer a planet is an infinitessimally small thing to do via the Gauntlet. And there is the story: the temptation of ultimate power. The way it could work is that, in each of the next few films, somewhere there's a piece of the Infinity Gauntlet. The Gauntlet itself is in Asgard (Thor 2), one of Mandarin's rings could be retconned to be an Infinity Gem (Iron Man 3), and Cap and Hulk...eh, work it out. The others would obviously come from other galactic locales (it would be a little too easy if all the gems were on Earth), and could even be the opening act of Avengers 2, or the plot of a Guardians movie. Then Avengers 2 is about Thanos vs. the Avengers. Bring in some Starlin-esque cosmic concepts, the psycho-analysis of Thanos, and some Avengers having the chance to take up the Gauntlet and resisting or giving in, and there's your movie.

May 7, 2012 5:37 pm Considering how badly "John Carter" was received, I have a feeling anyone at Disney would run from such an idea like it was a gamma bomb. But, if Ruffalo is under contract for 6 more movies as Banner, you would think at least one is a solo film. Of course, what "appears in 6 more films" means could be lots of things. Maybe he'll show up in everyone else's movies rather than star in one of his own. But that would only account for 4 (IM3, Thor 2, Cap 2, Avengers 2), so two solo films? One solo film and one undisclosed project?

May 7, 2012 5:29 pm Funniest one, too.

May 6, 2012 9:16 pm I just realized today that the news ticker is a place for inside jokes. Anyone else notice the "Doctor Druid" mention?

May 5, 2012 10:49 am Not really a spoiler - they had an Infinity Gauntlet on display at San Diego a year or two ago.

May 5, 2012 10:41 am Hulk funniest one there is.

May 3, 2012 2:51 pm Good, but really a Hercules story except for the "Dead _________" off-shoots (Dead Avengers, Dead X-Men).
