Movie Monday

The Incredible Hulk News:
When Iron Man first came out we tried to clue you in on the whole Captain America plot. You saw the shield and the super soldier serum...It seems the geniuses at Marvel have a nice lil marketing plan. Get ready for the big one guys: The Avengers
"Not only will Robert Downey Jr. reprise his role as billionaire Tony Stark with a lengthy cameo in the film, but further whetting the Avengers-appetite is an appearance by Captain America.

And it's likely to be more substantial than the measly millisecond glimpse of a shield (barely) seen in Iron Man. In a recent interview with G4's Attack of the Show, Incredible Hulk director Louis Leterrier hinted at the superhero's cameo, saying:

"As a filmmaker and as a fan, I like to go see movies
 and watch them several times, … and every time I see it, discover little things in the background. Did you know that in Iron Man, Captain America’s shield can be found somewhere? Well in Hulk you might see Captain America Himself!"
