The Avengers Villain is...

The Marvel films are leading up to the mega team-up of The Avengers, where some of the mightiest Marvel heroes join together to fight evil.
But what villain could stand against fearsome foes such as Iron Man and Captain America and Thor?

The Incredible Hulk director Louis Leterrier told MTV News this past June that he didn’t think any villain could, and suggested that they use a hero instead: Hulk

“I hope ‘The Avengers’ embraces that,” Mark Fergus, co-writer of Iron Man, said of having the Hulk as a misunderstood baddie. “You don’t want like 10 super-badass good guys fighting together. Where’s the fun in that? Let’s break it off a little. Friends or colleagues who become enemies is always an interesting thing because you know it’s based on love and friendship and that’s always the worst thing to have turn bad — is someone you actually care about and someone you actually believe in.”

Hulk, of course, has fought nearly every Marvel hero at some point in the comics, and because he already had his own movie, wouldn’t need to be set-up in the new one. In fact, all the hard work is already done.

“I left the door open for whoever’s going to direct ‘The Avengers’ with our last shot. Edward [Norton] and I, we consciously decided to make the last shot of the movie when he opens his eyes and he smirks at the camera,” Leterrier told MTV News. “Is he enjoying it? Is he malicious? That’s what’s great about Edward. You don’t know if he’s a good guy or bad guy. He’s always on this edge and we’ve been sort of surfing that edge, that very thin edge during the entire movie.”

Will Hulk end up being the villain for the Avengers to fight? It would certainly make a killer battle.
