When Zak Penn was writing the last two X-Men movies, he was prevented from adding the characters he dearly wanted to borrow from other Marvel comics -- specifically, the Fantastic Four. While this bothered him at the time, now Penn has the opposite problem -- writing an Avengers film that brings over characters from the Iron Man, Thor, and Captain America movies in a way that's accurate, consistent, and entertaining.
But Penn is more than up to the challenge and is already getting a start on what will be the 2012 feature. During the "Graphic Explosion" panel at the Los Angeles Film Festival he discussed how he's currently preparing for Avengers.
"They're doing Captain American and Thor first, and then Avengers is coming out," he said. "They want to see that they're all connected, not like the Fantastic Four can't come into the X-Men world, like I was told. I'm taking a meeting next week with the Thor and Captain America people, and we are all going to get together, and I will see what is going to happen. I'll see where they are leaving the characters; it's pretty complicated. ... There's a board that is tracking what is happening. [We'll see] how this movie overlaps in that movie."
