Captain America shows what it means to be a hero.
The other Marvel movies, not so much. They just do what they feel like.
Iron Man 3 will be Extremis while nanite-infested Tony goes to China to fight the international terrorist organization called The Mandarin (that's how they really are doing Mandarin in the movie...really).
Cap 2 will be Winter Soldier as the villain. He'll turn good at the end and the Cap 3 will be a buddy comedy.
2015 will bring Planet Hulk. They'll base it on the comics sort of with Banner at the craps table in Vegas, losing and hulking out. They'll launch him into space and he'll crash land on a planet ruled by Red Skull.
Too lazy to remove quote tags?
Yes
I think with Cap I would have just preferred someone older. I can't believe in him commanding respect off Stark and the rest; his voice and face just don't sell it to me.
Cast Brandon Routh as Winter Soldier and you have yourself a deal.
The terrorist group is actually called the "Ten Rings." They're the ones who kidnap Tony Stark in the first film.
I agree with the age part. Chris Evans looks too young to be believable. It made sense in the Captain America movie, but now not so much in the Avengers.
They're calling them The Mandarin in IM3. Ben Kingsley is playing the leader and Andy Lau is Tony Stark's token Asian buddy who helps him take them down.
Source?
Because Bruce Wayne hobbling around in a wheelchair for an hour+ is going to be SO much more exciting.
Last year I estimated it at $850-$900 million WW after it's run with $1 billion potential. Looks like that $1 billion may be hit if the $500 million estimated holds.

Just saw the movie and loved every minute of it, especially Banner.
The short scene after the credits D:

Might not want to spoil!
Seems like the only "news" there is that they think Andy Lau might be signing on the movie, and the rest is all guesswork though!
No, there is nothing after the credits.
The article refers to Mandarin the MAN, not the group. The article even mentions the Ten Rings by name.
Read the whole article:
They wouldn't let them film in China with a villain named "The Mandarin" in the movie.
Marvel would have to be completely out of their minds to replace Whedon for the inevitable sequel.

No, just the one in spoilers. Had a mini-heart attack before I saw duckrolls post :lol
To the MCU thread!

It says "perhaps" and then goes on to postulate two very different scenarios. They don't know shit. I have no idea how you're reading anything certain out of that.
Most of the article is conjecture. They even point out that they're mostly guessing based on what we already know about the movie.

That would be so sweet. Andy's a great actor in both the big ticket items now and the Triad/Wong Jing movies he made breaking into the HK market. Just a good person too.
Andy Lau fights security beating up fan!

Love how his dancers just keep along with the routine!
What are you talking about?
Yeah, it was weird, he was about the size he was in F4. Kinda...took away a bit from Cap imo
Apparently on GAF every comic book movie argument is about either Avengers or The Dark Knight Rises. One side or the other! At least that's what I heard!

Name him the Cantoman! Why not just film in Taiwan or even Korea, both are good standins for the Mainland (Korea was used in a ton of Golden Harvest flicks, you can even see Korean extras). Though China would just not the let the movie play, but ah fix it in dubbing and location changes.
Hey I bring in the Punisher to balance things out!
That's strange because they began filming Avengers two days after the New York scene in Captain America was filmed.
They filmed the scene with Cap and Nick Fury on April 23rd, 2011 and began filming Avengers in New Mexico on April 25th.
I think people are getting way too caught up on the idea that China = Mandarin. I don't think he is the villain. My personal gut feeling is that they're doing Extremis (already rumored) and
(hinted at in Avengers).
I could be wrong, but this makes more sense to me than the movie being a big collaboration with China and the Chinese government only to go with a predictable, cliched, and arguably racist villain in the form of The Mandarin. I would love to see Fin Fang Foom, but I really don't think it's going to happen.
Stark Resilient
The entire clean energy story push is very likely going to be tied to Stark trying to do some good in the world after reflecting on the events of Avengers, and picking China as a location to try and introduce the technology. Extremis would be the threat, and could be a form of sabotage or corporate warfare to stop Stark from destroying the energy industry.

Definitely doesn't make things up as he goes along.
Major After-credits spoiler:
Thanos? What do you think about that? Interesting to be sure, plenty of lore there with ties to these characters... but commercially an interesting move. Loki was really smart; not only because of Thor's success, but because he's a character with very "human" faults. He's easy to relate to; his perceived inferiority, his feelings of abandonment, sibling rivalry, etc. He works. In fact, I think he's one of the best portrayed villans Marvel has done. However, Thanos is so alien to the masses... so difficult to connect to. That whole end scene - while I thought was written well - felt so "Green Lantern" movie to me, that I think it's bold on Whedon's part. Maybe that just shows his confidence, but on paper it's like box office poison
I have put together a group of like 15 people to see this thing. Twas not my intention, but that's what ended up happening.
That said, midnight Thursday can't get here fast enough.
Can I start Team "Amazing Spider-Man"? I want to throw a monkey wrench into this thang.

He was already smaller at the end of Cap compared to how he was roided coming out of the Vat.

No.
No no no.
There is no throne. There is no version of this where Amazing Spider-Man comes out on top. Maybe it tops the box office, maybe it's too much for GAF but it's all on you.

This was probably discussed and answered but when Cap was doing some investigating on his own he found some kind of black suit and helmet/mask or am I mistaken?

It also has The Lizard, direct from Dinohattan.
You say that like it's a bad thing.
