Next Avengers Debut Trailer

May 22, 2008 | Leave a Comment

Marvel’s animated branch of direct to DVD movies will bring Next Avengers: Heroes of Tomorrow in August of 2008. So far I’ve loved the stuff they have been doing, although this one seems a bit stranger to me.

The premise is that Ultron has returned years after the classic Avengers have long since moved on. The kids step up and have to save the world. I wondered about how good this would be for comics fans, considering these characters are all new, here is what the Marvel.com interview with creator Chris Yost had to say:

Making the film accessible while still giving longtime Avengers fans enough to chew on might have caused others to stumble, but not Yost. “It’s tricky, but I think we’ve done a good job. If you don’t know anything about the Avengers, this movie still works, and works well. It’s a fun, fast, action-packed adventure in the vein of ‘Goonies’ that introduces a new generation of viewers to a new generation of heroes.

“But!” he continues, “If you do know the classic characters, and do know the history, then there is a TON of stuff packed into the movie. Nothing distracting, nothing that will take people out of the moment, but there’s going to be plenty of goodness for hardcore Avengers fans.”
