UPDATE: What Does Marvel's Avengers SDCC Concept Art Poster Not Show?


UPDATED: Sure enough, the next day they released some more of the concept poster I predicted. Plus, they're lining about how I said they would. I've updated the post with the newly released posters and the updated compilation poster.

UPDATE 2: The final posters have been released and I've updated the post. Hi-Res final poster no doube releasing tommorrow. Overall, it's awesome. Wen and Meinerding have done a great job.

Marvel released a concept art poster at San Diego Comic-Con 2011 for the film The Avengers (2012) and it shows two of the Avengers, but we can guess where the others are if we look closely.

On their website they describe the newly released poster(s).
Fans who attended Comic-Con International 2010 will remember the free “Thor” and “Captain America: The First Avenger” posters handed out at the Marvel Booth featuring art by Wen and Meinerding, respectively. This time, to celebrate next year’s release of “Marvel’s The Avengers,” Meinerding and Wen have joined forces to create a series of interlocking posters spotlighting Earth’s Mightiest Heroes.

So, we know that these are not two separate posters. They're described as a "series" meaning there are more to come.

If we look closely at the edges though, we can see that there are parts that go off the page. Chances are these are two of six interlocking posters. One for each member of the team.

Here's the roster of the superhero team "The Avengers:"
  • Captain America (Chris Evans)
  • Iron Man (Robert Downey Jr.)
  • Thor (Chris Hemsworth)
  • Hulk (Mark Ruffalo)
  • Black Widow (Scarlett Johansson)
  • Hawkeye (Jeremy Renner)
So, we know there are four members missing.

We can make a pretty clear guess who's next to the Captain America poster since we can see the Hulk's elbow in the background. If we go by the design of the other two posters the washed-out image of Hulk is probably just a background reference shot.

That doesn't leave a lot of room for the other four members of the team unless they're really far away.

I created a pic to show the Hulk and what looks like the edge of another poster. Too soon to guess what the other poster edge is from.

So be on the look out for four more posters coming soon.

What do you think of the poster? Want to guess where the other four members are?
