The Avengers: Age of Ultron - Official Discussion/Announcements thread
He has no idea where Tony Stark will have ended up, post-Avengers in 2012, but Jon Favreau has confirmed that he wants to continue Iron Man's solo outings when the team-up dust has settled.
He told MTV that he sees The Mandarin as Robert Downey Jr's next major adversary. "You've got to do The Mandarin", says the director, who has been teasing this in the films already with tiny references to the Ten Ring organisation, "but the problem is, the way he's depicted in the comic books... you don't want to see that." The way he's depicted in the comic books is basically as a dastardly Chinaman, a la Fu Manchu. He's a scientific genius, descended from Genghis Khan, whose martial arts prowess makes him capable of taking on the armoured Stark with his bare hands (although at one point he lost his memory and became a cleaner at Stark Enterprises). An IGN poll last year ranked him the 81st greatest comic book villain of all time. So he's above Carnage and Mysterio, but 79 paces below The Joker. He gets his power from ten magical rings, which Favreau concedes is a problem in his highly tech-based Iron Man universe. But with that universe expanding to include the supernatural Thor, he reasons "maybe introducing magic won't seem out of place" after all. Iron Man 2 is currently dominating the world's box office. Iron Man 3... is a long way off. |
Jon Favreau has talked again about the status of Iron Man 3, stating that the threequel will be a continuation of the big screen adventures of Thor, Hulk, Captain America and The Avengers.
While promoting his new movie Cowboys & Aliens, the director discussed how the story of Iron Man 3 would be entirely dependent on the fall-out of the other Marvel movies coming out next year. “Kevin Feige, who’s been involved with superhero movies with Marvel movies since the X-Men films, is very aware of his path and how to weave [things together],” says Favs. “So in theory, Iron Man 3 is going to be a sequel or continuation of Thor, Hulk, Captain America and Avengers… This whole world… I have no idea what it is. I don’t think they do either, from conversations I’ve had with those guys.” This much we pretty much already knew, but it’s good to hear it from the horse’s mouth. Though Favreau is still yet to fully commit to a third Iron Man, we assume he’ll need to get started on a script soon if he wants to avoid a repeat of Iron Man 2 – which was criticised by audiences for not having a strong enough story. Iron Man 3 is scheduled for release on 3 May, 2013. |
The Avengers II - Official Discussions and Announcements thread
Now that The Avengers is steamrolling through the BOs worldwide, garnering big points from geeky fans and critics alike, it's time we had this thread as a forerunner to the next installment in the franchise.
As we speak, Iron Man 3 and Thor 2 are already in development, with scheduled releases in 2013. Here's the latest on both of them :- Quote:

So, will we see other sequels as well (like Captain America 2 scheduled for a 2014 release, Nick Fury's own standalone movie, etc.), and a possible Amazing Spider-Man link-up to The Avengers 2 as well? Admit it, even a cameo by Spidey will add a lot of fireworks to the already turbo-charged lineup. And finally, will there (finally) be an introduction of The Wasp? Oh, and what about that Ant-Man movie? Questions, to which we shall find the answers in the days to come. |
They should include the Wasp since she was one of original Avengers. And Spider-Man because, well, it's Spider-Man, it's awesome, and he was part of the Avengers once, if I recall correctly.
I think there's also a new Hulk movie planned. I'm curious to see Iron-Man 3 and Thor 2, if they are as good as the prequels I am going to love them. I have yet to see Captain America though. |
I guess again there will be a cameo of Nick Fury at the end of the new Spider-Man movie. Though I've nothing to complain about the current team (movie) of Avengers but yeah...they should have add Wasp & Ant-Man as far the original comic book series goes. Who knows...they may add some events in the sequel which would force Black Widow & Hawkeye to leave the group & make the spots for Wasp & Ant!? ;)
