User blog comment:The Mighty Thor/The Avengers Movie : Expectations and possible surprises/@comment-4715229-20111229013112

Fortunately the development required for the major characters was done in the previous movies, that will prevent the movie from dragging through the first hour. I wonder if the Rick Jones character will be introduced. If we review the early issues of the Avengers, there are plenty of potential surprises. Baron Zemo, Wonder Man, Kang, Space Phantom, Enchantress, Prince Namor, Super Adaptoid and even A.I.M. As founding members of the original team, the Pym's need to be at least referred to. The second Goliath, Hawkeye, is in the movie and he joined the team in the same issue as Quicksilver and the Scarlet Witch, that could lead to a mutant / X-Men reference. I really hope this movie will be something a longtime fan (first comic bought was Avengers 100 about 30 years ago) will enjoy. If this movie is done right, sequels could go on and on and on.
