In a “we’ll see if this is actually true” moment, Ain’t It Cool News is reporting (based on a capture of a newspaper article) that The Avengers will involve the Kree/Skull war. Now as it’s an unsourced caption in an article in the Albuquerque Journal, we shouldn’t start holding our breath. Personally, I think we’d maybe have been seeing some Skrull dopplegangers make “did I just see that?” appearances in the films already, but who knows? It seems an awful lot of mythology to work into one film.
In any case, the real story is that The Avengers begins filming in 2011 in New Mexico.
