The pictures bring to life one of the happiest days in world history – VE Day, otherwise known as Victory in Europe Day or the day when the Nazi’s lost and we celebrated one of the world’s most evil dictators taking a bullet in his temple.
Quote:
Born during the Great Depression, Steve Rogers grew up a frail youth in a poor family. Horrified by the newsreel footage of the Nazis in Europe, Rogers was inspired to enlist in the army. However, because of his frailty and sickness, he was rejected. Overhearing the boy’s earnest plea, General Chester Phillips offered Rogers the opportunity to take part in a special experiment… Operation: Rebirth.
After weeks of tests, Rogers was at last administered the Super-Solider Serum and bombarded by ‘vita-rays.’ Steve Rogers emerged from the treatment with a body as perfect as a body can be and still be human. Rogers was then put through an intensive physical and tactical training program. Three months later, he was given his first assignment as Captain America. Armed with his indestructible shield and battle savvy, Captain America has continued his war against evil both as a sentinel of liberty and as leader of the Avengers.

Joss Whedon in the Sunday Herald Sun -
Quote:
“It is true that the movie is only going to have one female Avenger. But she will not be the only female character.”
“It will be a new story that has many things from different arcs of the comics in it. There is no one Avengers story that you can just do the way that you can do the origin of Spider-Man. You really have to cull from the original and The Ultimates, which is one of the Avengers titles.”

Black Widow from Iron Man 2 will be the female avenger joining the likes of Thor, Captain America, Iron Man, Nick Fury, Bruce Banner and Hawkeye for some superhero action.
So what other roles could there be for the girls? Internet rumour is rife.
The major discussion point seems to be Alice Eve playing a major villain in the form of Enchantress, but there are plenty of figures from the current crop of Marvel films would may or may not make an appearance of some sort.
How Whedon will fit it all into a two hour movie will be interesting to see, unless they split it into two parts like some current major productions.
