The Avengers – Skrulls Rumor Confirmed?
THIS IS AN OLDER POST, ALL “RUMORS” HAVE BEEN EITHER CONFIRMED OR DEBUNKED
HERE (ENTER at your own risk, these are the spoilers from a screening)
Notice the use of a question mark up there?
That is only becasue it hasn’t been 100% confirmed…yet.
Fresh from the event, Idle Hands got their hands on a few pictures of some figures used to in some kind of RPG that seem to make quite clear the identity of the alien race.
Call them whatever you like but these look like the Skrulls to me. The images were taken at NYCC Toy Fair and the items are part of an Avengers strategy game of some sort.
My bet is this is some licensing dispute with Fox, the studio that currently owns the rights to the Fantastic Four. After all, they bought the rights to a ton of characters in the late 90′s, among which was probably Super-Skrull and his minions. So, to avoid a dispute with Fox,Marvel has decided to change the name of their baddies… but they can change the name to whatever they want, we all know that they’re still Skrulls.
The film is directed by Joss Whedon (“Firefly”), who also wrote the movie. The cast of “TheAvengers” features Robert Downey Jr as Tony Stark aka Iron Man, Samuel L. Jackson as Nick Fury, Chris Hemsworth as Thor, Mark Ruffalo as Hulk, Jeremy Renner as Hawkeye, Chris Evans as the charismatic Captain America, Jeremy Renner as Hawkeye, Clark Gregg asAgent Phil Coulson.
