So do we know if Falcon is in Avengers or not? He was by far my biggest surprise in Captain America 2 and with him and Cap becoming partners I'm not going to accept a no show like they did Hawkeye in Captain America 2 >:[
I would assume he will play a role going forward. Falcon and Cap are close allies in the comics and do all sorts of stuff together. They did a fantastic job of bringing him to a more grounded marvel universe too and he played off Evans well

Wait so Vision is going to be in Avengers 2? I guess I missed that memo why did they not introduce him in Thor or in another film before Avengers 2? At least Hawkeye got a random scene in Thor to give his character some establishment before his introduction, or is Vision a big surprise for Guardians which AFAIK isn't connect to Avengers at this point?
Sorry if these have already been answered been trying to stay out of these threads until I saw Cap 2, still haven't seen Thor 2

Paul Bettany is playing Vision, so he's pretty much already been introduced in the MCU as JARVIS.
Well Vision's origin is connected to Ultron so wouldn't make sense to introduce him in an earlier film.
I know Whedon is a dab hand at ensembles, and Avengers 1 worked, but even he must be getting tested to his limit with this cast. Hawkeye was shortchanged in screentime in Avengers, and that was only with six team members.
AOU is adding three team members and a villain all needing introductions and roles, while also giving the rest of the team roles (and Whedon said he was giving Hawkeye a big role).
It's a lot to handle.

I hope that Scarlet Witch is old enough in this incarnation for Hawkeye to have a thing for her. Her and QS seem pretty young

The Vision is going to be JARVIS. He's already been in 4 MCU movies.

Gotta be in A3 versus Thanos!
First act: Hawkeye + Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch intro.
Second act: Hulkbuster. Ultron origin.
Third act: Vision origin. War Machine joins.
Iron Man, Cap, and Thor take backseat / action roles. I can see it working.
Never she is a mutant with no ties to the Avengers. No long term ties to the avengers.

Don't even joke about that, don't even joke. I would lose my shit if they had her.

Avenger's Jacket era Sersi.
They could make it to be the unexpected winning blow for the good guys in A2.
And have Cap casually swinging the hammer in A3 and still loses
or/and died

Ultron needs to be a beast of a physical fighter, at least in his final form. One problem I had with Avengers 1 is that the big bad, Loki, wasn't really a match for 3 out of the 4 main guys, and even Cap got some good hits on him. Thor, Hulk, and Iron Man all owned him in straight up fights.
Ultron should be a team-level threat, able to easily defeat any of the top guys 1x1. In the cartoon, this was the case. I'm too tired to post the clips, but if you search on youtube, there's one clip from the cartoon where he completely owns Hulk in single combat, and another where he manhandles the entire team (including Thor) for awhile. I want nothing less than this.
My deepest fear is that they pull a Transformers 3, like where early leaks led us to believe that Shockwave would be this formidable big-bad, but ultimately he did jack-shit, and didn't even get the chance to properly fight anyone. I trust that Whedon is a better filmmaker than this though.

Wait ... I just thought about something.
If Thanos is the bad guy that GoTG are after and GoTG is set WAAAAY in the future ... AND Thanos is also the bad guy for Avengers 3 and is also the far-away-threat for the first 2 Avengers movies then how do this work exactly?
I mean, clearly if he's alive in the distant future then he doesn't die in Avengers 3 sooo we already know that film wont kill him off, right? What are they gonna do, just fight him off until he says 'Fuck this, I'm gonna go home" or something?

How do you figure the Guardians movie is way in the future? The Thor 2 post-credits scene is tied to Guardians isn't it?

Aww! Cutest Scarlett Witch ever! I think they did this to remove the possibility of an incest plot though Game Of Thrones made that cool... [/joke]
That's what I thought they were going to do, after seeing TWS. It may have still be a small seed to get the fandom talking?
Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch will almost certainly be antagonists for the first two acts while the Ultron threat is built up.

Scarlett Witch's entrance should be nearly jobbing all four avenger's but then faints from the stress of overloading her powers. Also, lol at Fox wasting a good opportunity!

I thought it was stated that it was in the far future already.
Either way it seems like the plot demands that it be set in the future ... right? I mean, Starlord is half Alien and Aliens are not a common thing in this sitting. As we see in AoS the Asgardians have been keeping an eye on earths traffic and haven't noticed any large scale shit or even a hint of it for the most part. Seems like Aliens are a brand new thing.
Plus Starlord was an Earth pilot ... and they haven't given us much reason to think that people in their world have actually explored more space than we have.

StarLord is an abducted Earth man from the 70's/80's.
Plot takes place today but on far away alien planets

Starlord was abducted by aliens or something in the movie. That's why he has outdated Earth technology (for example, his music player). At least, that's what I heard/assumed.

Ultron doesnt have to be a fighers he's going to be broken power wise. Point and Click boom headshot laser beams and the power of analyzing everything and finding weaknesses. Vibranium and ever growing power sets make ultron a beast. Loki is a manipulator, an army was a good call for that type of char. He oft got the trolls or frost giants or some enemy to attack asgard while it had a weakness.

wishes it were bannable to say mean things about Marvel
Nah, they will save that for the final desperate battle between the Avengers and Thanos in A3. And it will be a momentous moment I'm sure, can't fucking wait to see them do that in live film.

I reckon they will injure (not kill) one of them to make Ultron a credible threat to the Avengers and of course to free up space in the script/screen time for the new additions like Scarlett Witch.
He is a regular human even in the comics.
Well yeah but isn't he a hybrid or human and something else?
His mother is a alien and his father is human.
Anyway, he has no superpowers. His suit has some like increased strengh, but Starlord himself has none.
He half alien but his alien father is pretty much just a normal humanoid in terms of appearance, he's just not from Terra.
He is half alien half human, but he doesn't have any special powers from it

Is there a summer or fall blockbuster coming out? These movies love to first show trailers along with other mega releases
Looking amazing. Can't wait
Really? I mean Marvel even explained how they knew people were expecting something from Guardians last year and so they had footage prepped specifically for Comic Con despite only a few weeks of being shot. Avengers on the other hand will have been shooting for way longer by the time SDCC comes around. I'm very well expecting the same for this year, and then a refined version of that trailer coming with Guardians in August.
I definitely expect some kind of teaser before that.
