Avengers Movie Writer Announced, Avengers Movie Yet To Be Announced

by Dru, filed in Comics, Movies on Aug.11, 2006

Today, Marvel announced the writer for the planned Avengers movie: Zak Penn. (By the way, interesting way of announcing an Avengers movie, Marvel. Nice promotional work, there.) To help sell the guy, his previous movie-writing chores for Marvel were listed: The Incredible Hulk, X-Men: The Last Stand, X2: X-Men United, and Elektra.

In his defence, that’s the upcoming Hulk movie, not the previous, Ang Lee-helmed one. The others, you might have seen. Except for Elektra.

Based on how he’s credited, the guy likely had limited input on the movies they listed, with the exception of The Incredible Hulk. And that movie’s not exactly done yet.� What is there to take away from this?� Are they just not taking the idea of an Avengers movie seriously? Is his upcoming work really that impressive to them? One of his upcoming movies is Spy Hunter – I don’t want to be too snarky without cause, but how high calibur are video game movies right now? You gotta admit, they’re not running under the best track record. While it’s by no means a death kiss, it’s not reassuring news.

At SDCC this year, they introduced the directors for Iron Man, Ant-Man, the new Hulk, and one other. They also said that Captain America and Thor were on the slate to be made. They made mention that it was no mistake they were, one by one, making movies about each of the founding Avengers. I bet this announcement is just a very very early move. I wouldn’t expect it until at least half of these movies get made and released first.

Behind Enemy Lines and Inspector Gadget? Damn… granted this guy had little input on any of these so he can’t really be blamed but… this guy’s been involved with a lot of shit and very few tollerable movies.

Still he’s up near the top of the writting credits for X2 and Last Action Hero which I thought were great so I’ll give him a chance but no one could I ever fully trust someone who had something to do with Elektra.

And why don’t these movies get single writters anyway? I get there there are always script doctors and such but there should be some level of distinction between the main writter and all the other people and I’m just not seeing it.
