Fans of superhero comics will be happy because in just over a month two films inspired by comics characters arrive at the cinema. So, after "Ghost Rider - Spirit of Vengeance", based on the Marvel Comics comic, released last March 23, the American publishing house realizes another dream: to bring" The Avengers "to cinemas. The film focused on the team made up of many super heroes will arrive in Italian cinemas next 25 April, world premiere, while in the United States it will be released starting May 4. The film is inspired by The Avengers ("The Avengers" in English, in fact), the team born in 1963 and which collects the greatest super heroes of Marvel. In reality, those who followed the other films dedicated to these characters expected that sooner or later one would be produced that saw the meeting of everyone, and even the marketing showed the possibility of creating a team that was the protagonist of a ' unique cinematic film. "The Avengers", unlike other superhero groups, such as DC Comics' Justice League of America, are internationally recognized as a sort of "crisis unit" and have the support of almost all nations. of the planet. And it is precisely to face a serious planetary danger that this cinematic crossover is born between the protagonists of some films produced by Marvel Studios.

The film, like most of the movies of this genre, has a very simple plot: the continuous and ineluctable struggle between Good and Evil. Even before the release of "The Avengers", it promises to be a global success that will not disappoint fans of the genre. It is one of the most anticipated films as demonstrated by the record set by the trailer of the film which was viewed in 24 hours a good 13 million times, making it the most viewed on iTunes. The story begins when the appearance of an unexpected enemy threatens the tranquility and security of the world and Nick Fury, director of the international peacekeeping agency known as SHIELD (Strategic Hazard Intervention, Espionage and Logistics Directorate), is at needing a team to save the planet on the brink of disaster. The unexpected and menacing enemy is Loki, Thor's half-brother exiled from Asgard, and one of the worst super-villains invented by Marvel. Loki arrives on Earth with his terrible army determined to make it his kingdom and, thus, the SHIELD is forced to implement an extreme solution, already in the pipeline for years in the secret offices of the agency for the security and maintenance of pace: the "Avengers project". The project involves the creation of a team of super heroes who, as in the comic, are formed to fight the villain and save the planet. Therefore, a very difficult job begins: trying to recruit the powerful super heroes in every part of the world, but above all trying to make them get along, a rather difficult and demanding undertaking, so that united they can save humanity from Evil.

The historical Marvel characters called to fight Loki are: the super-soldier Steve Rogers (Captain America), hibernated for 70 years for this feat, the genius in armor Tony Stark (Iron Man), the God Thor, the scientist who changes appearance Bruce Banner (Hulk) and SHIELD agents Natasha Romanoff (Black Widow) and Clint Barton (Hawkeye). The reunion of Marvel's super heroes, therefore, promises an extraordinary and very interesting film, with many action scenes. There will be breathtaking sequences, chases on the streets but also in the sky, fights for which the actors have trained intensely, explosions and lots of special effects. Equally extraordinary and interesting is the cast made up of great Hollywood actors, Americans but not only. Let's start with Samuel L. Jackson who plays Nick Fury for the third time (in 2009 he signed a contract with Marvel to play this character in 9 films); in the same year the beautiful Scarlett Johansson also signed a contract to participate in the film playing the role of Black Widow (Black Widow), whose real name is Natasha Romanoff, SHIELD agent Another Marvel lover is Robert Downey Jr. who has signed a contract for 6 films based on their comics. It will once again be Tony Stark, a billionaire engineer who wears a special armor, built by himself and thanks to which he becomes the very strong Iron Man. The three, already in 2010, were together in the cast of the movie "Iron Man 2" , where the female lead was Gwyneth Paltrow who in "The Avengers" makes a small cameo reprising the role of Virginia "Pepper" Potts, Tony Stark's secretary and girlfriend. Stan Lee, executive producer for the film adaptations of the Marvel Comics movie.

And there were many who gave their willingness to participate in the new film work, reinterpreting the characters they had already played in other films of the American comic major. Let's start with the Australian actor Chris Hemsworth and the English actor Tom Hiddleston, who will once again be Thor, the God of Thunder, and the terrible Loki, after being so in 2011 in Kenneth Branagh's adaptation of “Thor”. In the British director's film, and now also in “The Avengers”, we also find Swedish actor Stellan Skarsgård who plays Erik Selvig, a scientist who is controlled by Loki. Jeremy Renner also made a small cameo in "Thor," who is also in the Avengers movie as Clint Barton, Hawkeye (Hawkeye), a SHIELD agent Bow and Arrow Expert. In the role of another agent, Phil Coulson, Robert Clark Gregg, already present in "Iron Man"(2008)," Iron Man 2 "(2010) and"Thor".

This character was created specifically for cinema with the task of keeping Tony Stark in check and has no correspondent in the comics. He takes up the role he played in 2011 in "Captain America - The First Avenger”, then, the American actor Chris Evans who plays again Steve Rogers, alias Captain America, hero of the Second World War who voluntarily injected himself with a serum that made him a super soldier. To play the Hulk, however, there is no longer Edward Norton,

interpreter of Bruce Banner in the film "The Incredible Hulk" (2008), who after several months of negotiations refused to participate in "The Avengers", but there is Mark Ruffalo, American actor and director, the first to interpret the Marvel character for cinema also in its “transformed” version. In previous film versions, in fact, the Hulk was created on the computer now, however, the actor plays both natures thanks to the motion capture technique (already used in "Avatar"). In addition, in the United States, the actor when he transforms is voiced by the first television Hulk, the bodybuilder and actor Lou Ferrigno. According to Kevin Fiege, director of Marvel, the Hulk would have been a key character in the plot of this new film, so at the time of Edward Norton's rejection, he declared that the actor had not been confirmed because he did not meet the needs of the production, had neither the same creative spirit nor the same interest as the other protagonists of the film to collaborate with the cast. Among the other interpreters also the young Canadian actress Cobie Smulders, famous among the American television audience for a successful sitcom, who will be Maria Hill, secret agent of SHIELD and deputy of Nick Fury. Leading this cast of big movie stars is Joss Whedon, who is also the screenwriter of the film along with Zak Penn, former screenwriter of "The Incredible Hulk". Whedon owes much of his fame to the creation of the hit television series "Buffy the Vampire Slayer", but he is the author of many other television, film and comic scripts, so let's say he remains in his field of action by directing “The Avengers”.

The film was shot in several locations: in Ohio, exactly in Wilmington and Cleveland; in Worthington, Pennsylvania; in New York City; and in Albuquerque, New Mexico, where the crew shot both on-site and inside the Albuquerque Studios while the Albuquerque International Sunport was used to reproduce the SHIELD helicopter landing pad.

To take care of the soundtrack, then, there will be another old acquaintance from Marvel, in fact Alan Silvestri was chosen, former curator of the music of "Captain America: The First Avenger" and twice nominated for an Oscar, in 1994 for " Forrest Gump ”and 10 years later for“ Polar Express ”. Silvestri, despite his satisfaction with this job, admitted the difficulty he encountered in creating the soundtrack of "The Avangers" and in finding the best way to enhance the characteristics of all the super heroes, so different and with very strong and defined personalities. . Of course, “The Avengers”, like so many films in recent years, will also be released in 3D. Disney Studios, in fact, have announced that the long-awaited Marvel superhero film will be released in both 2D and converted to the now inevitable 3 D. It will be up to the public, therefore, to decide which one to go and see. Finally, the promotion was also done in great style and an intense and effective advertising hype characterized the presentation of the film to the public from all over the world. The production also used Twitter which, thanks to the support of Marvel Studios, hosted the cast and director of “The Avengers”, who participated in a chat on the American social network. The live chat lasted 30 minutes and, in addition to the screenwriter and director, also saw some protagonists such as Samuel L. Jackson, Tom Hiddleston and Clark Gregg, who answered questions from fans around the world. From Italy it was possible to follow the live chat on Twitter also through the official page of the film on Facebook.

From each country, fans were able to send questions to the protagonists in their own language through an international translator provided by Ortsbo.com. The commercial for the film was also broadcast in February during the very expensive breaks of the Superbowl, the final of the American professional football championship, which is not only a very important sporting event but is also one of the television broadcasts with the highest ratings. of the world. “The Avengers” is produced by Marvel Studios and in Italy is distributed by Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures.
