!±8± The Avengers - Halloween Costume Ideas for a Group

The Avengers is a collective name for a group of Superheroes that have banded together to fight evil since 1963. There is a new movie in production about The Avengers that is due for release in 2012, written and directed by Joss Whedon of Buffy and Firefly fame. The main characters of the film are Thor, Captain America, The Black Widow, Hawkeye and the Incredible Hulk.

Most of the Superheroes in the film already have Halloween costumes in the stores based on their characters from previous stand alone productions and the comic book series that have run for many years. Hawkeye may be the exception and a costume based on his character is hard to find just now. But the costumes for the other members of the merry band are wonderful. Thor and Captain America have had new costumes released based on their respective movies. Iron Man and The Black Widow costume ideas had a revamp last year. Hulk costumes haven't changed very much over the last few years which may be due to the introduction of CGI into films in a massive way and with the Hulk being such a big guy!

So if you are looking for a group of Halloween costumes for your family or your friends The Avengers may just be a great idea for you. Granted there is only one ladies outfit but what an outfit!

In the UK during the 60's and the 70's there was a long running TV series called The Avengers but this should not be confused with Marvels Avengers unless you want your costume to be a business suit topped off with a bowler hat! But to be fair the UK show was still about crime fighters fighting evil but without any super powers, only a bit of martial arts, and plenty of style.

Whilst staying on the subject of the UK there was once upon a time a Captain Britain who joined Marvels Avengers for a short while around 1976.

More famous Avengers who I don't think are appearing in next years film are Spider-Man and Wolverine of X-Men fame. So plenty of scope for a big group of Halloween party animals to choose from if they want to go beyond the boundaries of the movie.

There have been a few Halloween costumes for couples and groups over the years, Batman and Robin were a very famous duo, popular for dressing up as. Pirates make an easy group to re-produce but children and teenagers today demand costumes that will make their friends declare "that's awesome" when suggested as an idea for Halloween.

Superheroes fit the bill brilliantly when it comes to disguising yourself and with the crime fighting, never say die Avengers costumes out there, then there's something for everyone.
