If Marvel actually does announce anything beyond 2016, the failure of WB to deliver on the rumored DCCU announcements will look even worse. Not betting on it, though.

I'm really curious how they handle Ant-Man in light of both the Wright debacle and yesterday's casting news, though.

You won't believe me, but they DO ground rocket raccoon heavily in GotG. I mean it, he's pretty believable.

Its not just "blam, talking raccoon!"

Of course, I expect him to be a legitimate character. If it follows the DnA run as well as it looks like, he should be a real, genuinely interesting character.

But a talking raccoon and talking tree, no matter how explained, are still way more out there than anything Marvel has put on film so far. They're just inherently concepts that take more suspension of disbelief than, say, "Iron Man made this in a cave" or "a serum made Cap strong." It's refreshing to see Marvel willing to go for their more out there ideas.

It'll be interesting to see how hard they try to ground Vision's powers. Do they do a lot to back it up, or use a brief science-y handwave?

I know they won't announce black panther, but I still want to believe.

They shouldn't ground shit, they haven't so far.

The way the trailer is described makes it sound fucking incredible.

I can't wait to see it.

Yeah, I'm pretty excited for this now.

But still, great imagery. And, I have to say... I love The Avengers a whole lot, but I am still disappointed with the photography in it. It's pretty flat and overly bright, giving it a TV vibe. Not so much here. Age of Ultron looks like a goddamn movie! Inky blacks, much more mood and tone than anything in the first film

Thank god.

You know, wasn't crazy about the whole Tony creating Ultron angle, but it actually makes a lot of sense. I know people aren't happy with Avengers being the RDJ & Friends show, but it makes for some interesting character moments.

The only reason it's bad is because the creation of Ultron is one of the most important parts of Hank Pym's history. It's a bummer that he doesn't get the character development.

It's a great angle to fall back on. But Pym being the messiah of AI in the MCU is going to be missed.

That was one of the roses Downey brought. Did he give the rest to all the other Marvel stars in the panel?

He threw all the red ones at audience, and gave each a white one to Cobie and Best Olsen. The purple one was for Thanos *wink wink*
