I'm a HUGE Marvel movie fangirl so I'm ridonkulously excited to see so many of my favorite superheroes (that would be Thor, Hawkeye, Iron Man, Black Widow, Captain America, the Hulk, Agent Coulson and Nick Fury for anybody keeping score

along with Loki on Team Villain

) in one movie!

Plus it looks like it's going to have awesome action scenes and great character interaction, so I'm totally in love already, lol!

Anybody else planning on seeing this one?

♥!

Not gonna lie, I'm kinda excited to see this because it looks AWESOME.

The unfortunate thing is I haven't seen most of the other Marvel movies these guys appear in....so I feel like I should watch them first.

I've seen Iron Man, but that's basically it. I've never been a HUGE Marvel fan but the Avengers looks really, really good. Besides, directed by Joss Whedon....how can it be bad??

Thor is really good and the villian in Avengers was from that movie so you should probably watch Thor

I'm still bummed they recast the Hulk and Captain America was already in the Fantastic Four, but it should be a really fun movie.

I really want to see The Cabin In the Woods.. heard it's really cool. Josh Whedon is on a roll.

Yes, the cast is so great! I've only seen the first Iron Man, but I really want to see Thor and Captain America too.... One of my friends is WAY into Marvel stuff so I might go see The Avengers with her soon.

I'm dying to see Cabin in the Woods as well, Paul - planning on seeing it this weekend, actually!

Yay, I'm so glad that some of y'all are interested in seeing it, too! \o/

Eryn, I agree, if you do want to check out at least one of the other Marvel movies, I think Thor is a good one to go with just because that's where the Avengers villain (Loki) will be coming from. Captain America is another good one to add in that may or may not play into the Avengers more heavily than the others, but I'm not sure. I think if you basically know the premise of The Incredible Hulk, you'll be fine.

(Though again, I could be totally wrong and some major Avengers plot element comes directly out of that particular movie, but so far I haven't heard as such, so I'm assuming not.

)

According to IMDB, this is the chronological order of the movies, in case you're curious:

1. Captain America
2. Iron Man
3. Iron Man 2
4. Thor
5. The Incredible Hulk

Though Iron Man 2, Thor and The Incredible Hulk are believed to run slightly concurrent with each other because there are subtle references to events in each other in all 3 of them. [/geeks out liek woah ]

Cabin In The Woods is going to totally freak me out whenever I see it but you KNOW I'm going to watch it anyway because of Chris Hemsworth!
