I assumed it was going to be Red Skull when the camera was coming towards the back of him. When he turned I originally thought it was a discoloured skrull (due to the chin) I had to do some research myself before realising it obviously wasn't.
We didn't get the eating in a cafe scene in the UK.
Some of us don't give a hoot about the post credits scenes.
Yes and most people like that aren't in the iMAX theater where tickets are like $20 a piece at the midnight opening, after having had to wait in a line until 11:00 that stretched through the mall just to get inside.
I suppose I can see the resemblance to Red Skull, but when they had the line about how going to Earth would be courting death, I knew what the reveal would be. I wonder if they'll riff on the Infinity Gauntlet story, by actually sending the Avengers into space to confront Thanos. We've seen an alien invasion of Earth now, so perhaps the Avengers will be taken out of their comfort zone. I think they absolutely could make that leap, unlike the X-Men where going into space for a full-blown adaptation of the Phoenix story would have seemed mental (not that I'm endorsing how X3 turned out in any way whatsoever).

Considering
The Infinity Gauntlet is just sat there in Odin's trophy room in Thor. I can't see why they wouldn't go for it.
I mean this film ended with Iron Man flying a nuke into an alternate realm in order to defeat and army of aliens and a god......so it's kind of all or nothing at this point

I did saying riffing on the idea - not that they'd have to go after the gauntlet or directly lift from any other Thanos story. Just more the idea of the Avengers actually leaving our galaxy to confront a villain in the sequel.
I'm hoping to see this again in the next week or so. Haven't gone back for a repeat cinema viewing since Star Trek. Empire have a short podcast with Kevin Fiege about the film which goes into spoilers. Haven't listened to it yet, but he was good in the non-spoiler conversation the week before.

Sorry Chris I made some mad typos in that post.
I meant to say I can't see why they "wouldn't" go for it, considering it's already set up and that this film has already successfully broken the barrier of "realism" and retained the drama, character and humour.
Just saw this. It was really, really, really enjoyanle from start to end. Far better then what any Super friends type of film has any right to be.
I liked the fan boy fights were were perfectly set-up without appearing flash or forced in, and excuted well and logically without ruining the characters like Ironman going toe to toe with Thor but it seeming obvious Stark was coming off worse if it continued and the Hulk battering Thor about Thor still giving it.
As for the Hulk controlling his anger, I thought it was a case of him keeping control while being angry when needed but if something painfuly unfocuses his mind or he lets go he Hulks out.
I did love the fact the film continued the hero's natural character progression and felt totally natural. If this film flopped and no Marvel comic films were still to come it would have been a good end to leave it on. I wonder if Fury will be used so heavily in future? His character arc seemed to come to a head nicely here.
Anyways characters I want it for Avengers 2, Ant-man and the Wasp would be a nice touch, Scarlett Witch, Black Panther, Ms Marvel? The nice thing from what I recall about Marvel is that their characters are essentially more interesting then DC having more character tics and flaws and friction from their early days
