I literally let out a slight nerd squee when I read this on Ain’t It Cool News. Apparently the rumor mill is a-churning that Joss Whedon has written in the Skrull race as the the main threat in the upcoming Avengers movie. This rumor appears to be the result of an Avenger’s teaser trailer currently being shot in which Loki, the main villain in the Thor movie, enlists the Skrull to attack Earth. This set my fanboy heart aflutter and the possibilities of how this would open up the overall Marvel Universe into the galactic realm it deserves is amazing. Here’s to hoping The Watcher is narrating the whole affair. I might just go and cry if it all comes together. (via Ain’t It Cool News)

P.S. I tried to explain the joy of this to my girlfriend and the stares I got back were priceless.
