Pieter Boelen 1,032 Posted April 26, 2013 Posted April 26, 2013 This is where my European comic book sensibilities (Tintin, Asterix and Obelix, Suske and Wiske) really don't help.Haven't got the foggiest on most of them superhero thingamajigs.
Brónach 1,330 Posted April 26, 2013 Posted April 26, 2013 Well I've barely read Marvel comic books but I got the basics down. Though I feel now they're going beyond the basics so no idea.
Jay 46,242 Posted April 30, 2013 Posted April 30, 2013 Robert Downey Jr's contract with Marvel ends with Iron Man 3; If he doesn't sign up for Avengers 2, would they use Cheadle's War Machine instead?http://comicbook.com/blog/2013/04/22/avengers-2-could-include-war-machine/
Brónach 1,330 Posted April 30, 2013 Posted April 30, 2013 At the end of Iron Man 3 it says "Tony Stark will return".The people at Marvel have said that they no problem with recasting and that it's only expected to happen in such a multifranchise.
crocodile 9,724 Posted April 30, 2013 Posted April 30, 2013 Not sure how you recast Downey Jr though... He's kind of essential to their success, methinks. He's probably one of the main reasons why many people even bothered with watching Avengers film.Karol
Brónach 1,330 Posted April 30, 2013 Posted April 30, 2013 Maybe they'll bring him back for the second Avengers and then abandon the character for a while and make other things like Ant-Man or a Hulk film different to what we've already seen or whatever.
Jay 46,242 Posted April 30, 2013 Posted April 30, 2013 I am sure they will give FDJ a boatload of money to return for Avengers 2, no question. Whether or not he's still around after that is the question, I think. Avengers 3 won't be out till what, 2018 or 2019? Who knows what the popularity of Iron Man and/or RDJ will be then. Maybe one of the Phase 2 main characters will be the new "it" guy.

Maybe one of the Phase 2 main characters will be the new "it" guy.That leaves Captain American, Thor, and the Guardians of the Galaxy.The last one has the smiling villain at the end of The Avengers and a space raccoon who shoots unfeasibly large cannons and fights the blue dude inside a giant robot. So that might be "it".
Jay 46,242 Posted April 30, 2013 Posted April 30, 2013 So that dude showing up in the end credits of The Avengers was a setup for Guardians of the Galaxy, not a setup for The Avengers 2?
Brónach 1,330 Posted April 30, 2013 Posted April 30, 2013 We don't know about Avengers yet. He might carry over to the Avengers, or might carry over to the third Avengers instead.The only thing Whedon has said about the second Avengers is that they'd be facing "themselves" and that it'd be smaller and more personal. Which might contradict the cosmic Thanos stuff.

He's probably one of the main reasons why many people even bothered with watching Avengers film.KarolThe problem isn't if RDJ will return for Avengers 2, but how much he'll get for it. He's said in an interview with Box Office Pro that "there's still stuff with my character we gotta address" when doing an Iron Man 3 interview. Which means he's probably open to doing 1-2 more Marvel films.He can definitely leverage a Johnny Depp-sized paycheck... like $50 million dollars
Brónach 1,330 Posted April 30, 2013 Posted April 30, 2013 Thanos plays a part of Avengers 2, Joss Weedon said.Karol...ahThen I dunno.

I thought he did.Karol
Wycket 36 Posted May 1, 2013 Posted May 1, 2013 Yeah, thanks to the ridiculous box office that's what he made. The problem is that they all are going to want a larger paycheck, so while Avengers 2 is probably not going to be a problem, any future team ups will depend if RDJ is willing to work for less to accommodate the budget or is just after the money.

The thing is, RDJ was only contracted for four Marvel movies at the start. Chris Hemsworth, Chris Evans, Scarlett Johansson, et al have been contracted for 6-9 movies apiece. So they have some leverage but not as much as RDJ does at the moment, who's a free man at this point.And with his worldwide popularity, he can negotiate a bigger payday than Depp did for Pirates of the Caribbean 4. Depp got $55 million (upfront), I'm sure RDJ can get $5-10M more than him. I think Marvel Studios will negotiate an upfront payment so they won't have to shell out even more once the box office receipts start piling up.
#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 12,386 Posted June 20, 2013 Posted June 20, 2013 After weeks of speculation as to whether or not he would return, Robert Downey Jr. has officially signed on to star in Disney and Marvel’s next two “Avengers” films.http://variety.com/2013/film/news/robert-downey-jr-signs-on-for-avengers-2-and-avengers-3-1200500128/Not surprising. Marvel needs him on board for those films be really be big. I can imagine them recasting Thor or Captain America if one of the actors become unavailable, or Hulk (again) but RDJ pretty much owns the role of Tony Stark. Without him Marvel would have have the success is now has in the movies.
Jay 46,242 Posted June 20, 2013 Posted June 20, 2013 RDJ on board for Avengers 2 and 3http://marvel.com/news/story/20786/robert_downey_jr_to_return_as_marvels_iron_manEDIT Wow, haven't been ninja'd in a while!
Quintus 6,494 Posted June 20, 2013 Posted June 20, 2013 Is Downey Junior less irritating in Iron Man 3 than he was in 2?
Jay 46,242 Posted June 20, 2013 Posted June 20, 2013 His performance in all 3 movies is pretty much the same.
Quintus 6,494 Posted June 20, 2013 Posted June 20, 2013 Nah, I thought he, his character, was a lot more full of himself in the second film compared to the first.
Jay 46,242 Posted June 20, 2013 Posted June 20, 2013 Well, in Iron Man 3 he's as full of himself as ever in the first act, but then he's on the own without his toys for most of the rest of the movie and has to fend for himself so is in more of an on the run for his life mode than cocky billionaire mode.
#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 12,386 Posted June 20, 2013 Posted June 20, 2013 Iron Man 3 gives him a better arc. Offline 1

Jay 46,242 Posted August 29, 2013 Posted August 29, 2013 James Spader Will Play Ultron in Avengers Sequel
Jay 46,242 Posted August 29, 2013 Posted August 29, 2013 What I don't get is, the end credits of the first movie showed Thanos, indicating he'd be the villain in the sequel. Why are they having a different villain instead now?
Wycket 36 Posted August 29, 2013 Posted August 29, 2013 Thanos is one of the big bads in the entire Marvel Universe. He'll be in The Guardians of the Galaxy Movie, and likely finally make his way to Earth for Avengers 3.
Brónach 1,330 Posted August 29, 2013 Posted August 29, 2013 He won't be in Guardians of the Galaxy himself, but they'll talk about him and one of the heroes is his adoptive daughter.His storyline will appear around phase 3 or 4 I guess. Although I only have a rough idea of what his storylines are about so fuck knows.
Wycket 36 Posted August 30, 2013 Posted August 30, 2013 Well, you're correct about some of that....http://www.superherohype.com/news/articles/179001-get-to-know-your-guardians-of-the-galaxy-with-kevin-feige
Jay 46,242 Posted November 12, 2013 Posted November 12, 2013 Elizabeth Olsen confirmed as Scarlet Witchhttp://www.comingsoon.net/news/movienews.php?id=111278
Wojo 2,458 Posted November 12, 2013 Posted November 12, 2013 Definitely hotter than her creepy twin sisters.
Bilbo 4,294 Posted November 12, 2013 Posted November 12, 2013 I guess we are taking it that Avengers 3 will be about Thanos and his Infinity Gauntlet?
Bilbo 4,294 Posted November 12, 2013 Posted November 12, 2013 We're still short too many infinity stones. I imagine the remaining infinity stones will act as maguffins for several of the remaining phase 2 and 3 films with the Gauntlet itself being the focus of Avengers 3.
