In August 2006, Marvel Entertainment's "Marvel Studios Overview Presentation" listed the Avengers as a property under development for a film, with Zak Penn as screenwriter.[29] In a May 5, 2008, report to shareholders, Marvel Entertainment announced the release dates for two planned Avenger movies. The First Avenger: Captain America (working title) is scheduled for May 6, 2011, followed by The Avengers, scheduled for July 15, 2011.[30]
Marvel initially announced plans to have the team made up of Iron Man, Thor, The Incredible Hulk, Captain America, and Ant-Man, though as of late Ant-Man has not been mentioned.
The first film reference to the Avengers is in Iron Man (2008), in a post-credits scene of Nick Fury (played by Samuel L. Jackson) speaking with Tony Stark (Robert Downey Jr.) about the "Avenger Initiative". At the conclusion of The Incredible Hulk (2008), Stark briefly speaks with General Thunderbolt Ross (William Hurt) regarding the formation of a team.
