"Iron Man 2" director Jon Favreau recently wondered how the supernatural world of Thor would blend on the big screen with the reality-based universe Iron Man, and he's not alone in questioning how "Avengers" will handle this mix.
"My advice is, has been, and will be, that much like the comics, you look at movies like the 'Oceans' movies that have all these different flavors, you put the flavors together and you cook 'em," Bendis told MTV News. "It absolutely can be done."
Bendis called this type of co-mingling of entirely different characters and their universes his "favorite stuff" when it comes to scripting super-teams in books like "New Avengers," which he's been writing since the title's first issue. He cited the relationship between Spider-Man and Luke Cage in the series as one in which two characters might have otherwise never been together in a project, but now have become one of readers' favorite pairings.
Bendis went on to reiterate his certainty that the culmination of the Marvel movie lineup will not only meet the lofty expectations of fans, but surprise them, too.
"Having read the 'Captain America' movie script and the 'Thor' movie scripts and 'Iron Man 2' and everything, and seeing them all develop, nothing is more exciting to me than the 'Avengers' movie," said Bendis. "It's absolutely going to be something better than— different than—anything we've seen before."
"I think the challenge is absolutely there," he said. "It's an immense amount of work, but the payoff will be gigantic."
