In a recent interview, Iron Man director,  Jon Favreau revealed that Marvel intends to make the Avengers movie using existing and future Marvel-movie characters and actors.

…Favreau insists that Marvel will only go ahead with the project if and when all the individual characters get their own story. It’ll be worth the wait, Favreau claimed, calling this way not only more impressive and formidable – but more consistent as well.

“I wonder if the tone of ‘The Incredible Hulk’ is going to be similar or different than [’Iron Man’],” Favreau questioned. “And ‘Captain America’ is a twinkle in Marvel’s eye right now. And ‘Thor’ and ‘Ant Man.’

“[But] in the case of Marvel they’re pretty clear on wanting to do it with the actors who’ve established the roles or to not do it at all. That’s what they’ve said to me,” he continued.

This is what I suspected since the Avengers movie was announced. My suspicions were fueled even further by rumors of Nick Fury appearing in Iron Man and a possible appearance of Iron Man in the Incredible Hulk.

Hearing that the Avengers movie will use Iron Man (Robert Downey Jr.) and Hulk (Edward Norton)  is fantastic news.
