Captain America Ends with a Teaser for ‘The Avengers’

In a post-credits scene of “Captain America: The Last Avenger,” a teaser for the 2012 movie “The Avengers” was shown.

Take a sneak peek of the highly-anticipated film “The Avengers” which was shown at the end part of “Captain America: The First Avenger.”

If you already watched Captain America and left the theater at the time the credits started to roll, then like me, you missed the teaser for “The Avengers.”

I’m not sure if this is the same thing that’s been shown in Philippine theaters, but nevertheless, some clips from Avengers were indeed shown featuring Chris Hemsworth as Thor, Robert Downey Jr. as Iron Man, etc.

Angel Locsin and John Lloyd Cruz’ Movie has a Working Title ‘What Matters Most’

After their successful stint on primetime TV, John Lloyd Cruz and Angel Locsin prep up for their first movie together – “What Matters Most.”

“What Matters Most” is the working title for the big screen team up of Angel Locsin and John Lloyd Cruz. The romantic drama (take note, it’s not a rom-com movie)is going to be helmed by no less than the box-office director herself, Cathy Garcia-Molina!

Some people doubted the Angel-John Lloyd chemistry in the primetime series “Imortal” but the love team proved them wrong because the said fantaserye was very successful.

Garcia-Molina said there are clamors for an Angel-John Lloyd movie right after Immortal aired its final episode.

“Maraming may gusto ng John Lloyd-Angel after ‘Imortal.’ Ito na po. Mayroon ng movie talaga si John Lloyd at si Angel. It’s official. We are already in the concept development. Actually scriptwriting na,” the famed director said.

Cruz’ last movie–My Amnesia Girl–was the highest-grossing non-MMFF movie in 2010. Locsin’s last movie–In the Name of Love–was also a box-office hit and was listed in the Top 20 movies list worldwide during its theatrical run.

With the collaboration of 2 box-office stars to be led by the box-office director, the romantic drama which is set to be released later this year has the potential to break another box-office record for Star Cinema.
