Writer Zack Penn (X2, Elektra, X-Men: The Last Stand, The Incredible Hulk) spoke at the Los Angeles Film Festival about writing "The Avengers," the movie that will bring together several Marvel superheroes.
"They're doing Captain American and Thor first, and then Avengers is coming out," Penn said. "They want to see that they're all connected. I'm taking a meeting next week with the Thor and Captain America people, and we are all going to get together, and I will see what is going to happen. I'll see where they are leaving the characters; it's pretty complicated."
He continued: "There's a board that is tracking what is happening. [We'll see] how this movie overlaps in that movie. Marvel is autonomous now. It is night and day: Everyone has read every comic. They know how to make a cool movie."
But even though Penn is surrounded by very knowledgeable people, he still remains insecure about whether "The Avengers" will turn out to be a good movie. "It's hard to make a good movie," he said. "We all have the best intentions, and it still might suck."
