Will The 'Skrulls' Team Up With 'Loki' In 'The Avengers' Movie?

I really hope the skrulls aren't in this movie, i just can't stand them. I'll take Loki by himself please, unless you come up with another good character to help him. Good article though

I think it'll probably be the Chitauri from the Ultimate Universe. Green aliens are too cliche for this day and age.

I think Skrulls could be cool but it depends how they introduce them in the film

could teh skrulls make the film way more confuseing then it already will be

Would be cool to see them. Hopefully if they appear they don't look ridiculous...

I am pretty sure we'll see Skrulls, after a certain amount of spoilers, it seems rather likely. In the comics (at least in the Ultimates...don't know about 616, i'm not old... o.O) Loki did call upon hordes of Asgard (or some weird green things...I dont remember) to siege Manhattan, maybe in place of those Asgardian hordes, we get Aliens from outer space! Which can't be too out there, considering Loki apparently has his hands on a magical block that...does magical, destructive stuff. It is a nice mix of fantasy and science though, which seems to be what were going for in Thor, at least. Plus, it seems odd that they would assemble a team of super heroes to do what Thor already done did on his own. If not Skrulls, then some otherworldly and numerous threat, I suppose.

Also, Mr. Hiddleston is quite the handsome man....

How about Dr. Doom instead of the Skrulls???

Skrulls seem like such a big concept to tackle in the film. If it was made just for fanboys I would have no doubt, but the mainstream, not so much.

Well I mean if not the Skrulls, who else do you think it could be? It seems like it would have to be some sort of "cosmic" threat to require the combined forces of Earth's heroes but nothing too extreme that might fail in the movies...Also they could just only begin a Skrull saga here and not necessarily go into the sleeper agents on earth in the first movie...I'm not sure what else could fit this part of the equation but I'm open for some suggestions...Kang mayhaps??

In my head, the movie Skrulls look more like the Xenomorphs fro Aliens. And they shape-shift by shedding their current form like Dial HUSK from Amalgam Comics.

@TheMess1428: Dr.Doom is owned by FOX, which sucks.. we need some Skrulls!!!

Somethink tell me that if it is skrulls, they won't be called skrulls. I doubt that the mainstream audience would accept that well, they will probably pull an Incredible Hulk with it where there is a passing quote but no direct referances. I also cant see Cap or Iron Man be fighing in NYC and be "Oh no it's the skrulls!" who ever they are saving might just want to wait for the next guy instead of the guy talking about skrulls.

I have faith that whatever Joss Whedon thinks of will be awesome.

I hope they are involoved, they're classic Marvel. Shape-shifting aliens trying to take over the world? Love it.

@Babs & @Doctor!!! Aren't the skrulls also owned by FOX given that they are Rebooting the F4 Franchise. I wonder why anyone else has brought this up?

I've read lots of speculation about Thanos appearing. If these words be true t'wud be immense. Instead of the skrulls obviously. However, Tom Hiddleston has proven he can hold his own in a villainous role, brilliantly might I add, so I wouldn't mind if he had no help at all and just utilised the cosmic cube. We all know the consequences of (new phrase coined here) "Too-many-bad-guys syndrome" from which a few choice superhero films have suffered.

Unless Fantastic Four 3 comes out or a remake, they go back to Marvel and Disney. Then we can get some good FF movies.

@ LordRwquiem I've also heard the rumors about Thanos and would make alot more sence than the skrulls. Also given that Marvel does want to make a Guardians o/t Galaxy film later on. Cosmic is the Way to go.

Tom is awesome....

@ TheMess1428 Agreed! The FF has so much potential but FOX has done a piss poor job with them.

Well, there was a picture of Cap using his shield to block an attack from a guy in a Motion Capture Suit, so whoever it is, probably won't be human, but at least 'human sized'. I don't really care who it is as long as there is a reason why they're helping Loki instead of just being his cannon fodder.

@pspin: I think this is a possibility, they might well appear in some form, but they might not be called Skrulls in the film, just like the aliens in Cowboys & Aliens weren't called aliens through that film.

I hope the Skrulls are in the Avengers.

Wow you are really persistent with the skrulls thing, you have to love them

PD: I don't read Marvel :P but I know who they are (I read power pack year one ^_^)

Personally, I'd prefer to see The Avengers take on Loki and the scourge of telemarketing.  The telemarketers could be Skrulls though.  I'd accept that.

IF the Skrulls pop up in The Avengers movie, it will be after the credits. There's just going to be too much going on already between forming the team, fighting Loki, and inevitably resurrecting Red Skull with the Cosmic Cube to add - not just another super villain, but and entire race of super villains!

It's only a 3 hour movie, folks! It can't have everything!

The Skrulls, although they should be in the film seeing as how they're an integral part of Marvel villainry, would be really tough to incorporate into the movie. There's a lot of things that have to happen in this movie already, and I just don't see how there would be time to implement the Skrulls in a believable and proper way. I'd rather no Skrulls than half-assed Skrulls any day of the week

Oh how I wish our large purple universe crushing gauntlet weilding mad titan were in this...transmuting people into butterflies and then eating them. B-)

in the canceled avengers game all of the avengers fight scrulls. Look it up on youtube it was cancelled in alpha-stage.

the "behind the scenes" images that has been showed up, to all of us, show a bunch of army guys, maybe aren't the Skrulls, but we gotta think, in other teams that could be., idk, the brood?

@Burnstar1230: probably the hulk dude.

Me Too =/

I've just always associated the Skrulls as being more of more nemeses of the FF rather than Avengers, so for me it wouldn't matter one way or another whether they appear in the upcoming movie. If they do, then all the better a story I say!

Skrulls? Meh. Now the Kree? Let's give them a shot.

Personally I don't want to see the skrulls. The whole alien invasion thing has been done way too much in the movies for me. What I think would be awesome is loki starting his own masters of evil with him being the foe for thor, red skull (remember red skull's fascination with norse mythology in the first avenger. the avengers could have him working side by side with a norse god) for captain america, crimson dynamo for iron man, and the abomination or the leader for the hulk. I don't know if hawkeye or black widows have any villains of their own to fight.

I like this idea... :D

Pretty sure they're in there. It would explain why we've seen shots of Avengers fighting Captain America.

My only question is: Will there be Skrull Beatles?

No comment means yes. End of discussion

I think they will. and i trust Whedon to do them correctly...

Can't wait to see the Avengers movie!

I doubt that a Norse God will team up ALIENS....

If I had to guess....he'll be assembling his own team....THE MASTERS OF EVIL

OR....recruit HYDRA and bring back THE RED SKULL.

I would prefer it be just the same as it is in the Avengers #1. Loki fools Hulk with magic to fight against the Avengers before he realizes he's been duped. Skrulls would take way too much time to explain to the uninformed masses...But I trust Whedon.

Well If this is suppose to be like the first time the Avengers meet shouldn't this be the time where Loki takes over hulk? -.-

If they're in it, I can guess that it will pretty much be as the canon fodder opponents for The Avengers and not much else, much as the duplicate Iron Mongers were in Iron Man 2, the Frost Giants in Thor, ect.

Well, for all we know the Skrulls have been in there since Iron Man

According to Whedon, he is creating a new villian for the movie

I think the skrulls will be in the movie and the only reason I say that is because Marvel is notorious for almost syncing their movies with what they have going on in their comics, such as launching invincible iron man the comic when the movie came out and making steve rogers captain america when it came out. I know its not a comic, but if you watch the Avengers show on Disney XD then you saw at the end of the first season their next arc will include the skrulls. I can see them using that to familiarize audiences with it a little bit before the movie releases. 

Probably multiple unrelated threats, which will convince the world there's a need for a team such as the Avengers!

Herr Kleiser SAVE US!

really? I hadn't heard about that....

that's what I was thinking. And if I'm not mistaken, the initial reports when the movie was first getting shopped around were that Hulk was a villain in the movie.

I think brining the Skrull into this is a bit too much. What I would do is bring back Hydra and hopefully the Red Skull.
