"Premakes" The Avengers (1952)

What if... the Avengers movie was created years before the actual comic book?

Lost in the annals of time and space, comes this magnificent motion picture of epic proportions. Taking a page from such horror classics as "Frankenstein Meets the Wolfman" and "House of Frankenstein," Timely Atlas Studios (the precursor to Marvel Studios), created the first superhero movie team-up. "The Avengers" featured an awesome array of characters such as Captain America, Thor, and Iron Man in a larger-than-life battle against evil aliens from the planet Skrull. Face front true believers, this one is for the funny books!

Editor's note: I have always wanted to work with Marvel characters... in any capacity. Maybe I will someday. For now though, enjoy my little tribute to works of Stan Lee, Jack Kirby, Steve Ditko, and the heroes of the Marvel Universe. Oh, here's a fun thing to do... try and count all the characters and locations that are hidden within this trailer. Did anyone spot the Stan Lee cameo yet? I have a listing of all the Easter eggs in my next video. Excelsior!

Here's the recipe for this trailer: Man and the Moon, Flash Gordon (Deadline at Noon), The Phantom Planet, Rocketship X-M, Star Trek (The Cage), Buck Rogers in the 25th Century, The Flying Saucer, Earth vs. the Flying Saucers, The 27th Day, Superboy, The Wasp Woman, Outer Limits (Demon with the Glass Hand, The Invisibles, Chameleon, Zzzzzz), Twilight Zone (The Monsters are Due on Maple Street), Anastasia, Underworld USA, The Amazing Colossal Man, War of the Worlds, The Avengers, Captain America, It Came From Outer Space, Invasion USA, King of the Rocketmen, Zombies of the Stratosphere, Radar Men from the Moon, Die Nibelungen (Siegfried, Kriemhild's Revenge), The Man with Nine Lives, The Thing from Another World, Dr. Cyclops, The Marvel Superheroes (Hulk), Der grüne Bogenschütze, William Tell, Batman (Shoot a Crooked Arrow), The Eagle, The War of the Colossal Beast, The Gnome Mobile, Thunderball, The Dirty Dozen, Captain Scarlet, Fantastic Four (The Phantom of Film City), Our Man Higgins, Attack of the Puppet People, Land of the Giants (The Clones), Yilmayan Seytan, Tales of Frankenstein, Love Finds Andy Hardy, Das Rheingold, Fireball XL5, Stingray, Airport, Demetrius and the Gladiators

Where did the THOR Footage come from?

[jockassuk]

fantastically well put together and the story lines make for a more dynamic adventure than the 2012 movie. this video shows more of the richness of the marvel universe.

The Amazing Colosal man wore very little so looked more like Ultimo the Android that fought Iron Man than it did Giant Man who wore a costume.

I think this movie would be better that the new one, lol. The new ones are more explosions-Michael Bay, and not much story, now THIS I would pay to see in 3d. No stupid new 3rd reboot Hulk. This concept Premakes, hmm...I'm gonna try to make a movie that's relevant to our time and make a Premake out of it. Terminator 2 premake "Robo-stein and the Sundance Kid", I'm gonna make it, lol.

"Giant Man! Be careful!"

[Zerker8]

I can imagine premakes of Resident Evil, Turok, Masters of the Universe, and Mega Man!

[Freakintechnicolor]

wooooooooooow this is sooo cool

[skinwalkerxxx]

I wonder what a classic X-Men movie would look like in the 60s with the original cast. I figure it would be a bit like Man from the U.N.C.L.E. with powers
