New Avengers Trailer Gathers the "A"-Team

[FrequentFlyer]

So is this gonna be the last big marvel movie?

Or are they gonna make a trilogy for the avenger films?

Well, let's see... there's a Deadpool film coming in 2014, an Ant-Man film, a Thor 2, Captain America 2, and an Iron Man 3, so....nope. There's no end to this epic journey. They're bound to make an Avengers 2 as well, if only to incorporate other characters (like Henry Pym and Janet van Dyne, Ant-Man and the Wasp respectively).

Well I mean I dont see how they can make a 2nd thor and captain america after the avengers.

I mean how is it gonna work?

A trilogy? Maybe. Or maybe just a sequel to the Avengers.

I honestly have no clue, but it's going be quite interesting to watch. I mean, no production team has ever attempted this before, especially with a gamble as big as introducing obscure comic book superheroes (and by 'obscure' I mean ones that had never been established before in film and mass media, like Superman/Batman/Spiderman etc). This reach of continuity spanning across a series of films is unprecedented by any other attempt or franchise (even DC and Warner Bros.), so it's really anything goes to how they choose to go about adapting parts of Marvel universe to film.



If I had to guess, Thor 2 and Captain America 2 will again deal with their own story-lines: Thor's rightful place in Asgard as oppose to Midgard, and I'm certain they'll use some arc from some series of issues to continue Captain America's single story. I'm sure they'll do the same with Iron Man 3.

Their individual story lines didn't cease to exist in the comic books when The Avengers appeared in 1963, just as Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, etc. continued to have their own issues after The Justice League was formed.

I imagine Ant-Man will introduce both Henry Pym and Janet van Dyne. If they intend to continue the Avengers franchise, these characters will be incorporated into that project. I also remember seeing easter eggs in iron Man 2, where Tony Stark sat before a monitor indicating the location of Wakanda as well as Atlantis, so we might see the Black Panther and Sub-Mariner in future films.

Then, of course, there's (rebooted) Spider-Man, who joined the Avengers a time or two, and then Deadpool. So I really have no substantial evidence to how this will all go down, but I hope Marvel/Disney/Paramount has and will continue to put in the creativity, time and effort that is needed to see that all of these films are successfully executed.


The last thing we need to be subjected to is another Green Lantern. Or X-Men: Origins. Or Daredevil. Or Fantastic four (although, I hear a third film is in talks).

Don't want to burst bubbles yet, but I figure they won't be adding Antman or wasp... not exactly the shining stars of Marvel.

But then again... could surprise me.

Man, I sure hope they do I mean, if only to better flesh out the universe and character dynamic. But I see where it all could be pointless, considering their more obscure character prominence.

Plus, no one wants to see these films turn into a three-ring circus, which is why I'm not all bent out of shape that someone like Wolverine or the Fantastic Four will never appear.

Hopefully Hawkeye will get a reasonable amount of screen time in it. Still, after seeing this trailer I'm mega-psyched.

Then, of course, there's the rebooted Spider-Man, who joined the Avengers a time or two, and then Deadpool. So I really have no substantial evidence to how this will all go down, but I hope Marvel/Disney/Paramount has and will continue to put in the creativity, time and effort that is needed to see that all of these films are successfully executed.

Unfortunately (unless there's been news I haven't heard of) Paramount's movies aren't connected to the Marvel/Disney Avengers, they're still seperately owned by Sony, so it's unlikely that Spiderman will appear in an Avenger movie anytime soon. The Deadpool movie seems to be in Limbo, I'm not sure who owns the rights, probably Fox, except he's not a mutant.

They probably will, the reason they aren't in the Avengers now (even in bit part roles) is because Edgar Wright is making an Antman movie. If that's successful there's no reason why they wouldn't appear in an Avengers 2.

Well I mean I dont see how they can make a 2nd thor and captain america after the avengers.

I mean how is it gonna work?

Thor can do stuff on Asgard or have wacky hijinks on earth, Captain America already laid the groundwork for a Winter Soldier story, where Bucky didn't actually die.

Won't be the Skrulls either, the precursor movies have been setting each other up and the forth coming Avengers. The clues to the Big Bad have to be in these movies somewhere.

There's been a lot of speculation that it's Skrulls because of photos showing Thor and Cap, fighting a whole bunch of stuntmen in those CGI suits with alien looking guns.

That's right. I forgot Sony has a role in all this. And if I recall correctly, Fox does have the rights to Deadpool. But I didn't mean to imply that either Spider-Man or Deadpool will appear in an Avengers film (or any film in correlation to the Avengers), just that the world of Marvel superhero films has yet to begin, let alone die down now.

Yeah, I'm sorry, but X-Men: Origins doesn't technically exist as legitimate to me. It's like the giant squid hanging off my dining room table; I'm just going to continue to pretend it doesn't exist as far as film canon goes.

If Deadpool is given the green light, I hope it's also rebooted and given the story and plot development it deserves. I would like for Ryan Reynolds to return to his role as Wade Wilson, as I recall him being one of the only elements of X-Men: Origins I actually liked.

As for the new Spider-Man, I have no idea what the hell is going on there but I hope it's at least entertaining. I was plenty satisfied with the early 2000 Spider-Man with Toby McGuire (not the third one of course), so why they're rebooting this story is beyond my comprehension.


Edit//: Fox owns the right to the Skrulls and all properties therein.

Sorry the rabid fan-boy in me is perhaps too quick to defend Marvel by distancing them from the other studios. I wouldn't be surprised if a Deadpool movie was tied up in rights as FOX owns the X-men (and it's particularly how many of the mutants) but Deadpool isn't an x-man or a mutant so he might slip through the cracks somewhere.

As for Skrulls I haven't seen any hard or fast evidence for who owns them, it's discussed on this site here:
http://comicbookmovie.com/fansites/YggdrasiloftheGeeks/news/?a=45551

But marvel can easily circumvent any issues by calling them Chitauri which was their name in the Ultimates. I believe footage from the Avengers game also shows Skrulls.

This looks great. My only apprehension is that Edward Norton was replaced, he was great as Banner. I'm hoping the new guy will be just as good.

I thought that they could use 'Chitauri' as well, but I wonder (and I'm no legal expert) to what extent they could get away with using the intellectual property of Skrull/Chitauri without botching it or making it something entirely different. After all, that's just as part of the ownership as the actual name is. Another way they could get around this is by introducing the Kree and establishing the existence of the Skrulls indirectly through them.

Ed Norton was amazing. However, I heard that he was difficult to work with and that he did not want to participate in an ensemble cast, which The Avengers most dertainly is.

Mark Ruffalo is an equally STUNNING actor, and I would readily advise anyone to watch a few of his works if in need of convincing. In any case, Entertainment Weekly reported that Ruffalo called Norton up asking for blessings of sorts, and Norton readily gave it to him saying that there would be no one better for the part.

What I like about this match-up is that, once again, Mark Ruffalo and Robert Downey Jr. are on the silver screen together, which makes me happy as a fan of them both.

Based on how well Captain America and Thor turned out, I think I'm just gonna rent this movie instead...

 

[TheKwertyeweyoppe]

Iron Man: Everybody this way!
Cap'n : What makes you the leader?
Iron Man: I got a sequel!

 

[Droppa Deuce]

I really want the Hulk to give Scarlet a good seeing to.


You know, a right good rogering.

 

[The Dutchess]

Hellz yeah. Love me some Loki, fell in love with him in Thor. So much man-candy in this movie - it's gonna be good.

 

[godofallu]

Yeah this movie is going to be amazing. I can't wait to see how all of the heroes interact.

 

[Triality]

Oh Jesus, why are they still using power industrial rock to promote this movie continuity? What ever happen to epic orchestral compositions to promote your material? Why do they have to use an industrial power rock song that was popular 15 years ago? What's worse is the only thing remotely relating the movie to the song is that one line in the chorus which is really just gaudy when stripped down to its essentials.

Dear Marvel, you don't need to market your movie towards teens and young adults like they can't get a hard on without hearing outdated NIN power chords.

Ultimately ask yourself this: If I closed my eyes and listened to this trailer with no prior knowledge of what it was, and sound was my only guide, would I know I'm listening to an Avenger's trailer or some generic actioner with the promise of witty-one-liners, titillation, and lots of explosions meant to compete this holiday?

 

[RJ Dalton]

Okay, he gets points for that "genius, billionaire playboy philanthropist" line, but Whedon's still got a lot of ground to make up for since Alien Resurrection.

 

[Ulquiorra4sama]

I don't think there's a scale that can measure the AWESOME that's leaking out of this movie only from its trailers >_>

I see people are concerned about Robert Downey stealing a lot of the show, but i would think that given who Tony Stark is supposed to be it's only natural that his ego gets the better of him in certain situations.

I certainly hope to see some warrior pride in Thor so he could smack the Iron Man on the head a few times if he gets too careless, but they seem like they're gonna me more bro-ish characters (and that might not be a bad thing)

As for the people holding out for an Ant Man appearence... (Cameo now, movie later. Either goes) I would really like for someone to explain to me what the fuzz is about.

RDJ said in an interview that there's a scene where Thor kicks his ass badly.

Can't wait to see that.

 

[Nautical Honors Society]

You know, as much as I like Iron Man I hope he gets put in his place a little. I want more Cap and Thor!

Ehh I know what you mean, but honestly the Iron Man movies were far superior to both Thor and Captain America, also Robert Downey Jr is the most talented actor in the entire cast, so I am hard pressed to wish less screen time upon him.

I honestly hope for a good amount of Hawkeye and Banner (seeing as Renner and Ruffalo are the second and third most talented members of the cast).

Sorry, I am a big acting nerd.
