    The more I think about this the more Im excited.  It such a simple villian to put on the screen with a lot of potential in threat and numbers.  A shape shifting alien race looking to take over Earth because their planet was destroyed.  The Gypsies of the galaxy.  Now we don't need to waist time on a major villians orgin and get to personal with them while time is waisted on lack of devotion to the main hero's.  Especially since their are a going to be a number of them.  We can dive into the action.  It can be like John Carpenters "They Live"  They're just everywhere.  Skrulls can be a huge threat, and now seeing a villians saying they want to "Take over the world"  Won't sound as cheesy on film.  That line works in comics, not so much in movies unless your a James Bond villian from way back.

    To Those Who Say its Too Big to Early on... 
    Avengers is essentially a sequel to the Ironman, Hulk, Thor and captain America films. 
    so it has to be bigger then all of them. 
    because  "the avengers where brought together to face a threat no single hero could face"

    A MASTERS OF EVIL with LOKI, THE LEADER, MODOK and THE MANDARIN. Would be really cool for the AVENGERS or it's sequel.

    Oh, What th- ? Aren't the Skrulls an FF exclusive? Oh, well, I guess instead of Loki bringing The Avengers together, the Skrulls do...and this will mean that they probably won't face the FF in a reboot...

    @Novemberx2: You're right, but Skrulls have bigger repercussions in the Marvel universe that are too big to take on in the first part of what will HOPEFULLY be an ongoing film series. Don't get me wrong, I'd love to see some Skrull-fighting action, but I think that doing that story in the first movie might be jumping the gun a bit. Half of this first movie will most likely be about the team assembling and learning to work together and a story like the Skrull deserves more focus than that. This is why I'm still hoping for Hulk because, ultimately, he is a threat no ONE hero can face. I think they can manage a Skrull tie-in or hint for Skrull in the sequel, but a Skrull only enemy in the first movie seems a bit much. Plus, like someone said earlier, they have to top that later on in the series... and a Skrull invasion would definitely not be an easy plot to top.

    That wouid work.The Skrulls are good fodder.It would be silly if they went up against Hydra or something like that because Thor is on the team.They need some villain group that can fight everyone.

    It just seems it would be so much harder to establish the Skrulls, then directly throw they in the area of such a huge threat in 2 hours...

      truth be told I see only 2 movies coming out of using the Skrulls as the main bad guys (but they can have roles in all 3).  What I would like to see is the Skrulls brainwash the hulk in the first one thinking that this will let them role in and take over.  We know that Iron Man, Thor and Captain America will be part of the show; Speculation and rumor right now is Nathon Fillion will be Pym and Kevin Pennington as either SHIELD agent Rick Jones or Noh-Varr (or both, see movie 3) will be involved as well (no other names have been thrown out there as of yet).  Putting Pym and Stark together would run much like the animated Avengers movies, with each trying to one up each other, but you could also use this as an opportunity to cameo so many heroes (IE: as SHIELD tries to pick up the pieces of the Hulk rampage, you can see Wonder Man, Stingray, Justice, Tigra, Warmachine, etc aiding in the clean up project.  You could also see the beginnings of either a Pym alone or Pym and Stark collaboration project introducing Vision and Ultron going on in the background).  However, it forces the Project Avenger to fully take flight and the avengers stop both the Hulk and the Skrull invasion force.  As a sequel safety, you can see a disguised Skrull (This will give credence too to how much bigger the Skrull infiltration of Earth really is and that the "invasion force" was really only an advance party) reprogramming a computer data base muttering something like; "let's see then how they like this".  

    Movie 2 could then see the continuing clean up efforts from the "Skrull Invasion" (even though as a viewer you know that the real/full invasion has yet to come).  Vision and Ultron can be going about general clean up duties, while the Avengers try to work out their personality issues brought to light in movie 1 (try to learn to be friends or at least just to get along). All the while Ultron (we learn the sequel safety from 1 was that Ultron was reprogrammed to be a slave to the Skrulls and Destroy the Avengers) is discreetly pulling strings from behind the scenes threatening to destroy the Avengers from within pitting Avenger against Avenger, and friend vs. friend (ultimately paving the way for the Skrulls to step in and take over of Earth).
     
    Movie 3 could then swing full into an all out Skrull invasion of Earth since all the the more subtle plans have fallen through.  The Avengers may be on the ropes and going to fall to the Skrulls when an unlikely ally is revealed, SHIELD Agent Rick Jones is actually Kree Agent Noh-Varr (placed on earth to ascertain a possible Kree takeover).  As the Kree and Skrulls hate each other, Varr offers to aid the Avengers providing what info he has on the Skrulls and how to identify them, route them and fight them off (ultimately leading to an animated or even Ultimate Avengers style type of fight it out between the Skrulls and Avengers).

    Anyone have an idea on how to get a battle scene on the big screen with the REAL cap getting it on against the REAL tony stark... 'REAL' meaning without using skrulls... and without overusing the civil war plot?

    The Skrulls -- sounds promising 
     
    The Skrulls provide the possibility for both street level and cosmic level story arcs.  Remember, they already gave us Raven Darkholme (Mystique) in the X-Men movies so we know that they understand how to present shape shifters.  Notwithstanding, with the FF/Silver Surfer material and now the Skrulls we also gain a perfect segway into Space Operas and all that they entail.    
      
    Nova, Thanos, Silver Surfer, the Herald Ordeal... interesting no?
