It's probably a no-brainer, but a sequel to The Avengers was made official Tuesday by Disney CEO Bob Iger, who made the announcement during a conference call with analysts to discuss quarterly earnings. Repeating previous announcements made by Marvel Studios, Iger said a third Iron Man and a second Thor are scheduled for 2013 and a sequel to Captain America: The First Avenger is in the works for 2014. He gave no timeline for an Avengers sequel. Iger boasted that Avengers "shattered domestic box-office records with a $207.1 million opening weekend for a global performance of more than $702 million to date." The CEO also said that there are Avengers-based attractions in the works for some of Disney's theme parks. Please Leave A Comment- Source- THR

THE AVENGERS Movie Review By: RAMA We just put up Matt's review of the film, now let's see what RAMA thought of it. Wow! Just Wow! I guess if you look up the word ‘awesome’ in the dictionary now, you can find the picture of THE AVENGERS, if it ain’t there, it should be. Who would’ve thought that this unprecedented endeavor could not only be possible but it’s also successful in every way, my goodness, if you don’t geek out at every scene in this film, then there is something emotionally and medically wrong with you. Many of us wish that our childhood dream could someday turn into reality, somewhere along the way either our dreams change or we change but I can only imagine the big smile on Marvel’s head honcho Kevin Feige’s face, knowing that what he’s always wanted to see when he was a kid, is finally realized on the big screen, spectacularly I might add. THE AVENGERS is the ultimate superhero movie, Marvel has now officially given DC-WB a run for their money. Earth’

THE AVENGERS Movie Review By: Matt The comic book fan-gasm known as The Avengers has finally arrived, with all the hype surrounding a summer blockbuster. For some, the idea of the ultmate superhero get-together promises to be bigger than anything we've ever seen. Yet, it also comes with its own set of questions: Would Director Joss Whedon (Firefly, The Cabin in the Woods) keep consistency between characters originally envisioned by other directors? Is there enough time for each hero to have their moment without making another Lord of the Rings: Extended Edition? What about the third actor playing Hulk in as many films? And while those and other questions have nagged at every fan since the project was announced, we really had nothing to fear. The Avengers is a film of epic proportions, exceeding every expectation I had, putting to rest every question and concern I raised, and proving itself as the greatest superhero movie ever. But be warned: if you have not seen the

Today onepercase brings us the back story of the Great Norse God, THOR . In the Ultimate universe, Thor's "secret identity" is Thorlief Golmen, a psychiatric nurse. He only went by this name until just before his 30th birthday when he had a nervous breakdown and started calling himself Thor, the God of Thunder.

Today onepercase delivers the big man's story. "Don't make me hungry. You won't like me when I'm hungry." Maybe Ed Norton's Banner didn't speak Portugese that well, but it was certainly a cheap laugh that made us all feel a little dirty for laughing at it. Bruce Banner and his big mean alter-ego, the Hulk are today's Ultimate. Bruce Banner is just your every day scientist. Works for the government, creates dangerous serums designed to create super humans. You know, no big deal. 15 years before the events of the first Ultimates, Bruce Banner was hired by none other than Nick Fury to recreate the super soldier serum. Banner eventually completes the serum that he thought was safe. Not wanting to risk not getting the credit for it, Banner injects the serum into himself. Naturally the serum wasn't perfect and turned him into the Hulk instead of a super soldier like Captain America . In the ensuing mayhem, Hulk injures Peter Parker'

After being injected with the serum, he used his new found super strength to free the other prisoners and then escape from the facility. Fury went to college in India and then enlisted in the US Military. He was involved in many different conflicts such as the Kosovo Wars and the Gulf
