'Avengers' Effects Expert Talks Opening, Denies Red Skull Rumor

When you put the likes of Captain America, Iron Man, Thor, Hulk and more onto the big-screen altogether, the results are bound to be explosive. Thankfully, from the look and sound of it, "Marvel's The Avengers" won't disappoint in that regard.

"There's nothing small in this movie," effects supervisor Chris Wells told Starburst Magazine about "The Avengers" in a new interview. "I went to a screening with all the temporary visual effects and it was pretty fleshed out. It's a long movie but it doesn't feel like it. Out of all the comic book movies and franchises I've worked on, this is the best one I've seen so far."

Wells also briefly described the film's opening sequence, "what essentially boils down to the prelude," as he described it. "There's a whole intro that happens before you start even getting the titles and it's pretty big."

Something Loki-centric, perhaps? It won't involve Red Skull, unfortunately, as Wells confirmed that the German supervillain is not in "Avengers" as was once rumored.

"I promise you it's not going to be boring," he assured. "This thing has gone so big that Marvel are dwarfing their other franchises. For people who enjoy the comics and haven't really liked the way some of the characters were treated in other movies, I think they're going to be a little more appeased by this one. Especially the Hulk. They let the Hulk be Hulk and that's great. He acts more like the comic book Hulk. It's fun. My biggest problem with every single superhero movie is I don't think the payoff ever matches the build up. This one definitely does."
