Ain’t It Cool and io9 are currently reporting that a 35-minute longer director’s cut of this summer’s hyperbolic hero parade may well be hitting theaters this August… right alongside the reported DVD release.

What might we see changed up? Well, there was some early talk about Steve Rogers being a man out of time and that being the audience’s gateway into the film… but these scenes were cut. We’d likely also see some adjustment on opening scenes, and potentially just more awesomeness altogether.

So… would you see a director’s cut in theaters? I know I would.

 

Props to io9 for the sweet, sweet header image, too.

    I’m in! Ever since I was little (I’m a child of the 70s and 80s), I’ve been fascinated by the idea that the movies I saw had “secret” scenes that were filmed but never released (which would often pop up in novelizations or storybooks of the movies that had been written prior to those scenes being cut from the actual film). Until the advent of DVDs and Blu-Rays, there really wasn’t any way to see those scenes, and then Director’s Cut’s started coming along like crazy (many for Ridley Scott’s films, James Cameron’s, and of course, Peter Jackson’s extended versions of the Lord of the Rings trilogy). I have a feeling that most of those 35 or so minutes that were culled from the Avengers were expository dialogue and backstory, but Joss Whedon is so skilled at showing the simple exchange of conversation that I think those scenes wouldn’t slow the movie down.
