    Now, we are all used to seeing Cap run the show for the Avengers in the comic books but in the upcoming 2012 film will this be the case? I am thinking that Marvel studios may pick another for that role in the upcoming film. (Aside from Nick Fury aka S.L Jackson)

    Here is my thought:

    Ironman is the best known out of the heroes to the general public, Robert Downey Jr. is also the most well known actor in the film and the highest paid. I think that the film studios may try to capitalize on those things and portray Tony as the team leader in the upcoming film. It also seems this way to me from the trailers that have been shown, of course I could be dead wrong.

    Will this happen?

    If it does, will it be a good thing or will you as viewers and comic fans alike be disappointed?

    Could someone else be named the team leader?

    I imagine it would be Cap. But there is no telling. Cap or Iron Man.

    Id see it (and like it more) if it was something like Iron Man (the face) and Cap ( the brain )

    basicly, Iron Man does the one liners, big speeches and all that crap, and Cap takes the strategies, tactics, motivational talks etc...

    Also, the Cap will be the one making the team, a TEAM (you know, coming together)

    AVENGERS ASSEMBLE! (its only perfect if he says it)

    Pretty much this. Tony's got practice with speeches and press conferences. It'd make the most sense for him to be the public face of the team.

    Iron Man is a Grade A douchebag, IMO.

    RDJ manages to make me like the character.

    Cap all the way. You want a poster child that the public will trust and adore? Throw on the American Hero!

    Hasn't it already confirmed that the movie is mostly from Cap's view?

    It better be Captain America, although, I do like 's idea. I'm one of those people who used to really like Iron Man, then hated his guts with every fiber of my being when Civil War happened. Robert Downey Jr. is his only saving grace.

    Everybody hated IM on Civil War. The problem is that it wasnt his fault, it was the writers who didnt put it clear, and made Tony the bad guy

    HULK FOR LEADER!

    But really, I think it's going to be Fury calling the shots, Cap doing tactical work, Stark talking to the press, and Thor saying....

    After they're victorious.

    Cap will officially be the leader, but Stark with his ego will try to be the leader too.

    Judging by the trailers, most likely Iron Man, He's had the most experience with SHIELD, as a superhero and might be the oldest human wise.

    Unlike Cap who is just in his 20s and has no idea how the modern world works, Widow and Hawk who are just SHIELD agents, Hulk who isn't a leader and is an enemy of SHIELD, and Thor who is a Norse God just coming to earth.
