And Comes "The Avengers"

Even before we hear from "Captain America" or "Thor," news on the horizon comes for the upcoming "Avengers" movie. I think it's a little ridiculous considering we've yet to hear who's cast for the "Captain America" or "Thor" movies. But I guess the prospect of seeing many superheroes together is more exciting to some fans than seeing them individually.

In any case both Robert Downey Jr. and Don Cheadle have signed on for "The Avengers." Both will be appearing in "Iron Man 2," and Cheadle will be replacing Terrance Howard as James Rhodes/War Machine.

Jon Favreau, director of the "Iron Man" films, is being brought on as an executive producer. As far as we know, however, he will not be directing the film.

"The Avengers" will bring together Iron Man, Hulk, Captain America and Thor to face the greatest foe yet... but who will it be?

Now lets just get Edward Norton and William Hurt to sign on and we'll be set with the current list of actors! That's when I'll start getting really excited.

"The Avengers" arrive in theaters, July 15th, 2011.
