There's questions of whether or not they'll be renewing Ed Norton's contract. I wouldn't be surprised if that held for his supporting cast as well.

I'll be disappointed if they don't bring Norton back as Banner. I enjoyed The Incredible Hulk, and I enjoyed Norton's portrayal of Banner. Especially given the fact of Marvel Studios actively tying all these films together, recasting one of the major roles is just wrong, even if it is arguably the most minor of the major roles in Avengers.

And to then re-cast everyone from The Incredible Hulk in Avengers...well, what the hell was the point, then?

Besides, do we really expect Doc Sampson to play a role in this movie? For Christ's sake, its already bloated in terms of characters (and likely their respective development in this movie), and I can say that pretty confidantly without having seen a script or even a review. Why add in pointless side characters like him? Hawkeye and Black Widow make sense, but beyond that, I don't see any point in super-hero cameos or name-dropping (though Marvel do love their easter eggs, so...).
 
I'm pretty sure the Josh Holloway thing was proved false... for now.

I still want to see an incredible hulk sequel.

I would too, honestly. Incredible Hulk wasn't a great movie by any means, but it was a perfectly respectable summer pop-corn flick, which I can say after seeing 5-6 times is still as enjoyable as the first time. And Norton's Banner was SO much better than Eric Bana's. Liv Tyler kind of annoys me, but thats mostly related to her voice (she sounds like she has Downs Syndrome). Still, I'd be happy to watch her in a Hulk sequel--but thats unlikely, given the first didn't astound at the box office.

The Incredible Hulk was pimp. I honestly thought it was a better movie than the first Iron Man, and I'd love to see Norton return. The Doc Samson mention wasn't meant to be taken seriously, but if the Hulk's the villain (plus Skrulls. Jesus, does that ever sound like a bloated script), as he's rumored to be, I could see Samson having a cameo as Banner's psychologist.

Agreed on all counts.

That'd work. The Skrulls and Hulk have me convince the Ultimates is not only an inspiration for the costumes and origins of the characters in this film, but also as a framework for the story. I'm pretty sure Hulk will be the antagonist mid-way through, with the Skrulls revealed as the true threat 3/4 through, etc.

I think that script would work.
 
If the skulls are doing superhuman experiments then I think it would work. Cause I imagine someone or organization building a super human army works best seeing as that's what Hulk and Iron Man were all about.

The latest Avengers rumor puts Nathan Fillion and Eva Longoria cast as Hank Pym and Janet Van Dyne.

Eva Longoria was spotted with some Avengers comics a while ago (like, shortly after Iron Man 1 came out if I remember correctly) and people started guessing that she was going to be the wasp back then.
 
Plz to let Fillion be in moovie, kthx.

Also, there's a link to a little interview with Edgar Wright on Joss Whedon, and I'm guessing that they may be talking about Fillion as Pym since he'd probably be in Ant-Man too (if that's still happening).
