THE FIRST AVENGER: CAPTAIN AMERICA To Feature THE INVADERS!!!
|
There was a flurry of FIRST AVENGER: CAPTAIN AMERICA news swirling out of yesterday's junket for Universal's THE WOLFMAN - the biggest scoop being that Cap will battle his arch nemesis The Red Skull in this first installment. That's nice and all, but, for my money, the coolest news of the weekend was just broken today by CHUD's Devin Faraci.

According to director Joe Johnston, the World War II superhero outfit, The Invaders, will play a significant role in FIRST AVENGER: CAPTAIN AMERICA. How significant? How about "They'll be in the entire second half" significant!
Yes, we'd heard this was a possibility at last year's Comic Con, but this is the first time anyone's discussed how they'll be worked in to the film. Devin's got the whole story over at CHUD, along with some very interesting speculation about which six heroes might comprise this incarnation of The Invaders. I love the idea of Marvel using the Golden Age Human Torch (who is available to Marvel), but I'm most excited to see Union Jack on the team. Much as I dug The Avengers as a kid, there was something just a little bit cooler about a throwback group (based on The All-Winners Squad) going toe-to-toe with the Nazis - and, for whatever reason (probably because he was used sparingly within the Marvel Universe), Union Jack was my favorite member of the team.
For more on this very exciting news, head on over to CHUD.
