Kevin Feige Talks Avengers Movie

I really enjoyed Iron Man and I am pretty damn excited for Avengers if its done right. Since Jon Favreau is helming how cant it be? Kevin Feige head of Marel Studios revealed some new updates on the film to Empire telling them;

“Zak Penn is already on board The Avengers [as writer] and he’s spending a lot of his time looking into what we’re doing with Iron Man, Thor and Captain America, seeing how we’re tying it all together. And he’s beginning to outline the script now – he’ll be doing that over the summer.”

“All of the Marvel movies leading up to The Avengers will be based in our new facility in Manhattan Beach, in LA. There will be location work that will take us out occasionally, but our home base will always be here. “

When we caught up with Jon Favreau back when he was doing Iron Man he shared with us his thoughts on the project telling us;

I would love to if the epxerience is as good as this. They still need to make a few movies because avengers has Hulk, Thor, Captain America and Iron Man. I think they want a chapter for each character before they start playing with the idea of combining them. I think its very smart how they are cross pollinating the different characters like they have done in the comic book and now because they control all the characters they can do that free moving interplay that gives the spontaneous feel in the comics.

Look back later in the week for Sheila Roberts in depth interview with Jon for his other new project The Wild West Comedy Show starring Vince Vaughn. Of course we will bring you more Iron Man and Avengers updates as we get them!
