I don't think the Hulk of Avengers is the green monster all the time is he? I'm not that up on comic lore..

Fox has those characters I thought?

It has always been my firm conviction that films should speak for themselves and that knowing too much about how they are made diminishes the magic of watching them."

Basically Marvel and norton/director disagreed about how the movie should be presented, I am sure this happens alot.
Even though in the end, norton admits that Marvel's movie was more commerical than his.

I believe Norton had a contract for atleast 2 sequels the Hulk, so I would say it's more than likely.

I thought it was a little early to plant the seeds for an Avengers movie. I had no idea all this was in the works 
BTW- is RDJ's rumored cameo in Incredible Hulk a quick shot like in Iron Man, or is it something more substantial.

I wonder if they try to go with the more commercial New Avengers (pre Civil War) take, which had Wolverine, Spidey, and non-tiara-wearing Luke Cage (maybe not Wolvie, but Spiderman could just be behind a mask and Cage would bring a little diversity... though Spiderman's rights might be held up?). Though I guess Iron Man, Captain America, and Hulk should be enough of a draw for the box office by that time.
I love Thor, especially the Simonson run, but I think it'd be really hard to make a movie revolving around him and not have him be corny. We'll see, though.

The O.C. creator Josh Schwartz is writing the script for X-Men 4.

It's only going to be a prequel so I doubt we see Wolverine or Gambit in this one.

Also, I thought Kevin McKidd (Journeyman, Rome) would make a decent "Thor".

As far as the question of Spider-Man, he has been in the group off and on for ever, but he was a big part in the 80's after the "West Coast" Avengers split.
I'd like to see a Captain America WWII film in a Saving Private Ryan styled visual and no Ant Man film, just a form of origin where he joins in as Ant-Man in the final battle.
Either way, should be a great time for Marvel fans and comic book fans in general!
