Marvel's Avengers Trailer Breakdown - 12 Things Everyone Totally Missed
7. The Abomination
Square Enix
The Hulk's rogues gallery happens to be one of the more overlooked ones in Marvel's library, at least when compared to the attention the likes of Spider-Man and Captain America's gets.
The not-so-jolly jade giant has fought against the likes of The Leader and Absorbing Man, but arguably the biggest recurring threat in his comics is Abomination. The character shows up for a split second in the Avengers trailer, boasting a nasty set of talons and some spiky arms for good measure, and confirms that he'll be one of the villains in the title.
Abomination is one of the strongest threats in the Marvel universe, and a more than worthy match for the Hulk. Whether he faces him alone or with the Avengers by his side is unclear, but still, it's nice to see the villain appear all the same.
WhatCulture's very own resident movie guy, Ewan has been working in the content creation biz for over 10 years now, having started as a freelance contributor to WhatCulture Gaming all the way back in 2015. After graduating with a First-Class Honours in History from Northumbria University in 2017 (where he won a prize for a totally killer dissertation on the Watergate years), Ewan took on the role of Comics Editor at WhatCulture and quickly developed WhatCulture Comics into one of the biggest superhero-focused channels on YouTube. He followed this with a brief hiatus at Screen Rant in 2021, where he worked across the Gaming and Film sections as a writer and editor, before returning to WhatCulture as a Senior Content Producer / Presenter in 2023. He started his own podcast, We Love Dad Movies, in 2022, and has contributed several written pieces to the Eisner-nominated comics website Shelfdust as well.
In his current role, Ewan incorporates his love of cinema, comic books, and history into written pieces and video essays for WhatCulture's Film & TV channel, as well as WhatCulture Gaming and WhatCulture Horror, with a particular focus on nineties-era Dad Movies, old school Westerns, and Golden Age Hollywood Noir. John Carpenter is his fave, and he thinks Batman Beyond should never have been cancelled. If that's your vibe, you'll probably like his stuff.
