Like in OTL, the film teases Thanos at the end.

During the film, Loki causes Banner to transform into the Hulk and the Avengers fight him before assembling once more to fight Loki and the Skrull army invading Earth.

The Avengers are assembled by Nick Fury to combat Loki's arrival on Earth. The film takes a lot of inspiration from Mark Millar's the Ultimates for its plot.

Captain America's costume is a bit different, with ears exposed and a chinstrap(things added to his costume in later films OTL). Mark Ruffalo returned to play Bruce Banner. Captain America, Thor, Iron Man, Hulk, Black Widow and Hawkeye were brought together along with Hank Pym and Janet Van Dyne as Ant-Man and the Wasp(from the 1980's film), though Pym changes his identity to Giant Man in the film. The film was the long awaited culmination of the previous decade's films. The film ends with the seeming death of Johnny Storm, who goes Supernova to destroy the antagonist Annihilus and the last of his massive horde. Black Panther is played in the film by Djimon Hounsou. Another character is introduced in the film is Black Panther as Wakanda is the one nation on Earth advanced enough to aid in repelling. Johnny Storm falls in love with the Inhuman Crystal while Alicia Master's father, is granted powers by the Inhuman Terrigen mists due to the Inhuman Maximus the Mad subjecting him, granting him the ability to control others by taking samples of their blood, which he infuses into clay that is shaped into human forms of his victims, becoming the Puppet Master. The film borrowed from the plot of Annihilation Wave and had an army coming to Earth, destroying everything in its path, leading to the introduction of the Inhumans and the Skrulls, both races threatened by it that the Fantastic Four unite with. The third film put more focus on the relationship between Ben Grimm and Alicia Masters, as well as the birth of Franklin Richard. They had an Iron Man in Tom Cruise, Ruffalo as the Hulk, Craig as Thor, Blunt and Black Widow and Holloway as Hawkeye, but the roster was still missing Captain America, which was the next step in assembling the team. Marvel set about assembling the Avengers on screen. However, Marvel had been left with several not as well known characters, namely the Avengers, as the Fantastic Four, X-Men and Spider-Man were seen as the money makers. Instead of regaining the rights and getting entirely new actors and rebooting the franchises, they would instead canon weld their existing and already successful film series. Marvel had licensed the rights to their characters to various companies but had now been carefully crafting deals that would allow them to appear together on the big screen.
GALACTUS CONCEPT FOR THE CANCELED FANTASTIC FOUR 3 MOVIE MOVIE
the Human Torch is shown to be good friends with Spider-Man.īehind the scenes, plans were being made to create what would come to be known as the Marvel Movie Universe. Fishburne's return to the role was the first taste of the Cinematic Universe that was beginning to assemble. R.Lee Ermey has a cameo as J.Jonah Jameson, decrying Galactus as a hoax, which was a one panel gag in the original story. The film is devoted to finding a way of stopping Galactus and also retrieving the Silver Surfer's Surfboard after Doctor Doom steals it in an effort to challenge Galactus himself. Galactus physically appears in the film in an accurate depiction of his comic book design. The film concerns the Surfer arriving first and warning fo Galactus. The same cast as the original film return with Lawrence Fishburne reprising his role as the Silver Surfer from the Tarantino film, though Doug Jones plays the Surfer himself in the silver skin.
