The Avengers And The Bad Guys

The Avengers producer Kevin Feige and writer/director Joss Whedon talked to Empire (via Coming Soon) about the movie's mysterious 2nd villains.



"Who said they were aliens? It's not Skrulls, I've been clear about that. Beyond that, we want to hide it. The identity of the alien race is not impactful. It exists in the comic books, but we're not setting up the Kree-Skrull war or anything like that."

When asked about the rumor that Captain America: The First Avenger baddie Red Skull (Hugo Weaving) might be the secret second villain in The Avengers. "Was Skull vaporised at the end of the movie, or thrust into another realm?" asked Feige. "That remains to be seen. It would be fun to see Skull in future, but he's not in this one."

Whedon joked. "I do have a comment on that. It's... Oh, you're breaking up!"

Meantime Loki's alter ego Tom Hiddleston offered a little more insight into the character's motivation and mindset

"He knows who he is now, and what his powers are," he said. "In order for The Avengers to come together, Loki has to be more menacing, and all of his malevolence is founded in a completely delusional dream."

Robert Downey Jr, Chris Evans Chris Hemsworth Scarlett Johansson Samuel L. Jackson Jeremy Renner Mark Ruffalo, Clark Gregg, Cobie Smulders, Stellan Skarsgård, and Amanda Righetti and Paul Bettany star in the May 4, 2012 release.
