Subj: "The Invaders" to appear in Captain America movie... Posted: Sun Feb 07, 2010 at 09:23:13 pm EST (Viewed 349 times) | ||||
At least, that's what the director told the writer of this article at CHUD: http://chud.com/articles/articles/22433/1/CAPTAIN-AMERICA039S-INTERNATIONAL-CO-STARS-THE-INVADERS/Page1.html It will be interesting to see what they do with this. On the one hand, it seems like doing this could push Cap too far to the sidelines of his own movie. Then again, imagining Cap in Wolverine's role screentime/importance in the first X-men, with Bucky taking Rogue's and the Invaders taking the rest of the X-men's time doesn't necessarily seem that bad to me. It will be interesting to see what characters they can actually use... Speculation is that Namor may be under the Fantastic Four deal with 20th Century Fox, and one wonders if the Human Torch motif isn't locked up there as well, despite it being a separate character. (The idea that they could possibly still use Toro, as a Spanish character no less, is certainly interesting.) Naturally, my thought is that if they're planning on using the Vision in movies at all, then they may as well set the groundwork here. They could introduce either one (if there's no Torch, then have Horton build the Silver Age Vision directly). Either way, if they introduce one, then that's the one they should stick with... The whole concept of a second Vision built out of the remains of the Human Torch, sharing the look and name of a mystical Golden Age character is needlessly Baroque for movie audiences. So who should be an Invader on screen? Should they use the spots to introduce characters with spin-off or Avengers potential? Or go for true Golden Age characters that were actually Invaders? | ||||
