**SPOILER ALERT** Are The Skrulls In THE AVENGERS After All?
It sure looks like it! Despite hearing that perhaps the Skrulls would not be the villains in THE AVENGERS, the recent Super Bowl commercial combined with these images of what appears to be Skrulls from the 109th American International Toy Fair add up to the contrary.

If you have been following the comic books than you probably know about the Skrulls who are actually an alien race of shape-shifters. Who can shape-shift into anything they want. Including perhaps certain super heroes. Who are already battling their egos without outside help. Get the picture?
Keep in mind these are assumptions based on recent events in THE AVENGERS marketing. It could be misdirection. However these things often point to the truth - like for example how we got our first real glimpse at The Lizard from THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN... through a toy.
Here's the movie's storyline:
Marvel Studios presents in association with Paramount Pictures “Marvel’s The Avengers”–the Super Hero team up of a lifetime, featuring iconic Marvel Super Heroes Iron Man, The Incredible Hulk, Thor, Captain America, Hawkeye and Black Widow. When an unexpected enemy emerges that threatens global safety and security, Nick Fury, Director of the international peacekeeping agency known as S.H.I.E.L.D., finds himself in need of a team to pull the world back from the brink of disaster. Spanning the globe, a daring recruitment effort begins. Starring Robert Downey Jr., Chris Evans, Mark Ruffalo, Chris Hemsworth, Scarlett Johansson, Jeremy Renner and Samuel L. Jackson, and directed by Joss Whedon, “Marvel’s The Avengers” is based on the ever-popular Marvel comic book series “The Avengers,” first published in 1963 and a comics institution ever since. Prepare yourself for an exciting event movie, packed with action and spectacular special effects, when “Marvel’s The Avengers” assemble in summer 2012. In “Marvel’s The Avengers,” superheroes team up to pull the world back from the brink of disaster when an unexpected enemy threatens global security.
