The legend has come true! By the will of the gods, I am alive! I am invincible! I am—Thor!!! -Thor Odinson, Journey Into Mystery volume 1, issue 83

In moving toward the eventual epic Avengers movie, Marvel Studios has made it clear that each of the first Avengers will appear in their own movies first. Well, maybe not The Wasp, but she's (spoilers!) dead anyway. We've seen The Incredible Hulk, Iron Man has his second film on its way in days, and Captain America and Ant Man will each have a movie of their own as well before the projected Spring 2012 Avengers film.

I was thrilled with the idea before, and after seeing this first teaser image as released on Yahoo, I'm even more excited. Thorsday can't come fast enough! Bring the thunder, Marvel Studios! AVENGERS ASSEMBLE!
