Disney reported that studio expects loss from their top project John Carter. But at the same time Disney denies that this year will be bad year at all for them. hopes of the studio are connected with their may premier Avengers. Movvie is sequel to many movies, not to one. It will gather together characters from previously marvel comics movie adoptations. that includes Iron Man and Iron Man II, Thor, Captain America, Hulk. And, of course, it collected beggest starcast in last years
Previously movies based on marvel comics with heroes listed all became hits no matter how low critics rated them. E.g. Iron Man II collected $624m worldwide. This success made movie people not only to gather super heroes together in $220m budget movie, but also to think about further sequelization. In future they plan to produce Iron Man III, Nick Fury (character of Jackson) movie and Avengers II as minimum, of course. But I shoul admit there will not be any Avengers II if Avengers won't be success financially. And that will be only if movie will collect box office nor less than $450m. The otherwise Disney will believe nor in heroes, nor in their super powers.
In new movie the army of super guys and super girl (portrayed by Scarlett Johansson) will fight one little and unremarkable villian (most probably Loki) with big plans to destroy the world. In addition to major movie lead characters there also will be Hawkeye (by Jeremy Renner) and supporting characters like Pepper, Nick Fury and Natasha Romanoff from Iron Man, professor Selvig (by Stelan Skarsgaard, who acted as maniac killer in The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo) from Thor.
Idea of Avengers is not so ancient as idea of John Carter, but also not a new one. Carter was created in 1930s together with all comics industry. Avengers were first assambled in 1963, 49 years ago... And Disney is worried about John Carter because actually otherwise to marvel comics adoptations movie with production plus promotion budget of $375m has only box office of $179m at the moment. It's hard to wish to enemy... only to Loki. But guy will have even more serious problems soon.
Scarlett is cool anyhow
