Marvel are determined to milk their comic franchises for all they are worth and it has now been confirmed that The Avengers will be the next entity to make the transition from page to silver screen. Zak Penn, the writer behind such films as X2 and Elektra, is due to write the script and as of yet, there has been no news of who will step in to direct. The vast nature of The Avengers as a group could see some of our favourite Marvel characters unite, whether the correct actors will reprise their roles is unknown, but if they did, it would be a pretty cool movie right?
