Production

Development

Marvel Studios chair-CEO Avi Arad first announced plans to develop an Avengers film in April 2005 after Marvel Enterprises declared independence by pacting with Merrill Lynch to produce a slate of films that will be distributed by Paramount Pictures. In September 2006 Marvel confirmed their crossover plans in a brief presentation to Wall Street analysts. Essentially, what Marvel said boiled down to releasing several individual movies first to establish firm characters (and presumably get intro stories out of the way for everyone) and create familiarity with the non-Marvel crowd, and then following up with a big Avengers movie. Marvel Studios announced in July 2007 that screen writer Zak Penn who wrote The Incredible Hulk had been hired to write the film and will be titled, The Avengers. Penn confirmed his involvement but stated he didn't think that he would begin work anytime soon.

In January 2008 Marvel struck a deal with the striking Writers Guild of America so that the company could go back to work on films based on its comic book characters, including Captain America, Ant-Man and The Avengers. After the successful release of Iron Man in May, Marvel announced that The Avengers is scheduled for release in July 2011. In September Paramount signed an agreement with Marvel Studios that locks Paramount in as the worldwide distributor of Marvel's next five self-produced feature films. The partnership extended a 2005 agreement that saw Paramount agreeing to distribute as many as 10 Marvel films. In October it was announced that Robert Downey Jr. and Don Cheadle would reprise their Iron Man 2 roles as Iron Man and War Machine respectively in The Avengers. It was also announced that Jon Favreau will executive produce the film. Also in October, Marvel Studios signed a long-term lease with Raleigh Studios to film four bud-budget movies at Raleigh's Manhattan Beach, California complex. The films are Iron Man 2, Thor, Captain America: The First Avenger and The Avengers.

In February 2009 it was reported that Samuel L. Jackson had made a deal with Marvel Entertainment to play the role of Nick Fury in The Avengers, and potentially many other films. In March it was reported that Scarlett Johannson had replaced Emily Blunt in Iron Man 2, a deal that also tied her to The Avengers. The following day Marvel announced that the release date for The Avengers had been pushed back to May 4th, 2012, almost a full year later. In June Marvel's president of production Kevin Feige confirmed that Chris Hemsworth and Tom Hiddleston would reprise their roles as Thor and Loki respectively in The Avengers. In July screen writer Zak Penn talked about the crossover process stating; "My job is to kind of shuttle between the different movies and make sure that finally we’re mimicking that comic book structure where all of these movies are connected... I have a meeting at Marvel this week to catch up on continuity. There’s just a board that tracks “Here’s where everything that happens in this movie overlaps with that movie... Yeah, it’s going to be really difficult. The only thing I can say is I’m pushing them to do as many animatics as possible to animate the movie, to draw boards so that we’re all working off the same visual ideas. But the exigencies of production take first priority". In August Kevin Fiege stated that he would introduce more characters into The Avengers and that the Hulk would factor in the film. The next month Edward Norton stated that he is open to returning as The Hulk for The Avengers. In October executive producer Jon Favreau stated that he would not direct the film but will "...definitely have input and a say". Favreau also expressed concerns stating; "It's going to be hard, because I was so involved in creating the world of Iron Man and Iron Man is very much a tech-based hero, and then with 'Avengers' you're going to be introducing some supernatural aspects because of Thor," he continued. "How you mix the two of those works very well in the comic books, but it's going to take a lot of thoughtfulness to make that all work and not blow the reality that we've created".

In January 2010 Kevin Fiege was asked it will be difficult to meld the fantasy of Thor with the high-tech science fiction in Iron Man and The Avengers. "No," he said, "because we're doing the Jack Kirby/Stan Lee/Walt Simonson/J. Michael Straczynski 'Thor.' We're not doing the blow-the-dust-off-of-the-old-Norse-book-in-your-library 'Thor.' And in the 'Thor' of the Marvel Universe, there's a race called the Asgardians. And we're linked through this Tree of Life that we're unaware of. It's real science, but we don't know about it yet. The 'Thor' movie is about teaching people that". In March it was reported that Zak Penn had completed the first draft of the script with Marvel EiC Joe Quesada and longtime "Avengers" scribe Brian Michael Bendis recieving copies. Also in March it was reported that Chris Evans would reprise the role of Captain America in The Avengers. On April 1, 2010 it was reported that Joss Whedon was a leading contender in line to direct The Avengers leading to specualion that it was an April Fools' Day joke. However later that same month Variety reported that Whedon was wrapping up a deal to helm the project. Variety also reported that Whedon would rework Zak Penn's script.

Pre-production

At the 2010 Wizard World convention Avengers creator Stan Lee and Marvel Studios CEO Avi Arad confirmed Joss Whedon's involvement. Arad priased the decision by stating, "My personal opinion is that Joss will do a fantastic job. He loves these characters and is a fantastic writer... It's part of his life so you know he is going to protect it... I expect someone like him is going to make the script even better".
