I don’t know if any of you have heard, but theres a little film coming out in couple of weeks called The Avengers (not Marvel Avengers Assemble, I refuse to call it that). You’ve probably never heard of it, its very obscure and it hasn’t had much in the way of advertising or hype. That said it could be a sleeper hit and I was wondering, in what order would you watch the films leading up to the epic of epic epicness?

I was thinking chronological order which I reckon is –

1. Captain America: The First Avenger
2. Hulk (Ang Lee’s version. I know this wasn’t made by Marvel and doesn’t really count but I thought I’d give it another chance)
3. Iron Man
4. Iron Man 2
5. The Incredible Hulk
6. Thor

There’s an argument for watching them in order of release but I’m not sure. What do you think?

Also where do you stand on the many faces of the Hulk? To me the Eric Bana film could be the origin story and the Ed Norton is a continuation. Do you think the fact that there’s yet another actor (Mark Ruffalo) playing the green beast in the upcoming Avengers ruin the continuity that Marvel have worked so hard to build?

Also what the best way to watch? IMAX 3D?
