 Iron Man director Jon Favreau told USA Today that Marvel Studios has its proposed lineup of superheroes for a proposed Avengers movie.
Favreau told the newspaper that the team’s lineup has changed throughout the years, "but the ones Marvel is talking about now are Captain America, Hulk, Thor, Ant-Man and Iron Man. I would love to see that."
Kevin Feige, Marvel Studios’ president of production, confirmed to the paper that he’s working toward the day when "heroes can cross into each other’s adventures and occasionally team up if there’s a foe too great for any one of them to handle."
Feiger and screenwriter Zak Penn (X2 and The Incredible Hulk) are uniting to get Avengers in theaters by summer 2011.

Bruce Campbell’s birthday was yesterday, June 22nd. That puts him squarely at 50.
Bruce Lorne Campbell (born June 22, 1958) is an American actor, producer, writer and director. He is best known for his starring role as Ash in the Evil Dead trilogy of horror/slapstick movies, and has since become a B-movie icon.
Carter Of Mars Not Live Action?
Writer/director Andrew Stanton, who is reportedly working with Disney/Pixar to develop a film based on Edgar Rice Burroughs’ John Carter of Mars, denied to SCI FI Wire that a decision has been made on whether to shoot the movie as an animated feature, a live-action film or a mix.
"Everybody’s asking that, and we are not going to make that decision for about a year," Stanton (Finding Nemo) said in an interview while promoting his upcoming animated SF film WALL*E in Beverly Hills, Calif., on June 20.
Stanton is actually responsible for Pixar’s first mix of live action and animation in WALL*E in the form of short video clips of actor Fred Willard. (WALL*E opens June 27.)
Stanton confirmed widespread reports that he is indeed working on the film. "Well, it’s pretty much already out there," he said. "I’m definitely writing it … with Mark Andrews, and that’s all we’re doing right now, is just writing it."
Andrews’ writing credits include the Pixar shorts One Man Band and Jack-Jack Attack.
The film would be based on Burroughs’ series of novels, starting in 1911 and ending in 1964, set on a fictionalized version of Mars called "Barsoom" and centering on a Civil War veteran who finds himself transported to the planet, where he gets caught up with princesses and warriors.
