We learned yesterday that merchandising had revealed some spoilers about The Amazing Spider-Man, and now the same is apparently true of The Avengers.
The Hollywood Reporter points out this article at Movieweb that claims toymaker NECA sent a product description to retailers this week for HeroClix figurines for the Avengers movie that reveals the identity of the movie's rumored second villain.
The product description follows, so beware of spoilers:
"Charging straight out of theaters and onto your tabletop, Marvel's the Avengers Movie HeroClix set features heroes like Captain America and Thor as they battle the villainy of the Red Skull and Loki! Each Counter-Top display includes standard one-figure boosters as well as new three-figure 'Team Packs'! Team Packs are designed with strong thematic undertones - play a Hydra force or defend freedom with a S.H.I.E.L.D. team pack!"
So that means Red Skull is in Avengers, right? Well, as THR points out, "NECA could just be bundling related Marvel characters together, but the end of Captain America certainly didn't rule out future appearances from Weaving's Red Skull."
