I'm gonna guess that it's just like Thor 2, where by the time the shit hit the fan, whoever was involved was already in the thick of it. No time for anyone else to get involved.
Hawkeye on the other hand was on the cutting room floor. Probably missed a flight... something about scheduling.

it took place over like 2 days, and cap was underground for the majority of that. C'mon now

Next time baby
On the off chance he does suit up are you guys expecting the Iron Patriot or War Machine armor?

All they had to show was one of them trying to call Stark and getting his VM. It'd help believability and also be a wink to the fans.

Unless Quicksilver's arm suddenly became super thin, it's Black Widow. The colouring is black and you can see it's the same suit when comparing to the Comicon poster. Not only that but QS and SW probably aren't in this shot because they're probably bad in the beginning.
It will happennnnnnnnnnnn
Or he'll die two seconds into Avengers 3.

They didn't, but shortly after talking to Zola, they had a missile launched at them. So... that probably got the message across pretty clear that they should stay below the radar.
I do hope, though, that in some phase 3 movie they do a tongue in cheek montage of someone calling all the other characters and getting silly voice mails. Or something of that nature to just poke fun at the notion that every hero needs to be involved with everyone's problems.

Hmm. Maybe they learned something after being called out for cutting Gamora from all of he Guardians merchandise.

Remember, they filmmakers had a scene written for him but Renner was unavailable at that time. So they cut him out... Problem is, they forgot to address his whereabouts with dialogue, hence some people (those of us who like Hawkeye) feeling dissatisfied at his lack of mention.
Amusix, I think you're remembering wrong. I don't think he came up at all in the movie, other than Black Widow wearing a piece of jewelry (so I hear) that references him.
I would hope so. Cutting out the female merchandise again would be a really shitty move.
Anyway to compare the arm to the comicon poster of the two characters:
QuickSilver:
Black Widow:
They both have the blue stripe however BW has the weapon on her wrist which you can slightly see in the Vision poster.

I have the biggest mancrush on those two. They seem to get along pretty well, too.
I still remember watching Thor at the cinema and all the girls in the theatre collectively gasping for air when ChrisH took of his shirt and strut around in his trousers. I actually chuckled. Then I felt inappropriate.

...Even in the avengers movie hawkeye and BW were half a world a part , why cant they be in Cap 2 when they were in the indian ocean. If Hawkeye was on assignment somewhere else why would he have to show up in Cap 2 , everyone wanted him to be but it didnt make the film, and its not unexplainable or unreasonable to say he wasn't in Washington DC.

Does Thor have armor on his arms in that art? Because I thought he was going sleeveless:
I know that Hemsworth was the big guy on the set, but, damn, does he look small in some of the photos...
I think the cape and armour over his shoulders just make them look smaller.

Padding goes a long way. Hell, just normal clothing alone can make you look a thousand times better than butt naked if you have some minimally noticeable muscle mass.
Still, prime Evans remains the dream.

He's a good foot or so behind Cap, because Hemsworth towers over Evans if they stand side by side. So yea, it's forced perspective that's making Thor look small.
Cutting Gamora from GoTG merchandise?
All character artwork provided to licensees are given equal prominance. For example, if a particular style guide has 10 images of Star-Lord, there will be 10 images of Gamora and 10 images of Rocket. It's up to the licensees to choose how they want to use the artwork.
For those of you not in the business, licensees develop their products based on how buyers at the retail level expect their products will sell.
Marvel NEVER tells licensees to remove women from their branded products.
EDIT: I just reread that article Richiek posted last month. That is probably the most ill researched and misleading article I've ever read.
I don't blame you guys for thinking it was planned that way.

I seem to remember there was a name drop at one point. When the good guys are going to break into SHIELD HQ in the third act and the are two, no-name SHIELD agents talking, one of them says something about Barton being of somewhere. At least, that's what I remember.

A team-up film based on 5 previous films consisting of Hulk, Thor, Black Widow, Iron Man, Captain America and Hawkeye is the third highest grossing film of all time
if you ignore inflation
God damn I do love this alternate universe.

So Barton was in Afghanistan? I think that's what they were saying.. the helicopter drowns out the dialogue in the very beginning, so that's probably why everyone missed it.

So apparently it was given to Sideshow as reference for the eventual Hot Toys figure.

I just want to know how Whedon is gonna do Quicksilver.
High-speed, like Faora in MoS, or slowed down like in DoFP

Why not both?
Correction, she was cut from SOME merchandise. I saw tons of folders & shirts with Gamora on them, not to mention the figures.
It will be interesting to see how he is in a fight but we did get an idea of his speed in WS.
The slow motion shit is played out and the super high speed shit is kind of a headache to follow. I'm hoping Quicksilver is not as fast as Faora. It just looks like she was frame jumping, like playing Halo online with a bad connection. There's gotta be another way to do it.

Quicksilver probably gonna look like that new Flash (although I've only see the first trailer for Flash). basically just blue and white streak across the screen with occasional slow mo to show what he's doing.
or in other word, it's gonna look like a tv show.

That's what I'm expecting based on TWS and posters. Cool if they play up the trail and afterimage to show the wake of his actions. As much as I like the MoS and X-Men approaches, the downside with those and existing techniques is the reliance on static elements. The Matrix had scenes with fast and faster characters with mixed, more dated, results. Then there's V for Vendetta with one character moving in slow-mo and everyone else moving in super slow-mo. Tricky to make it look natural.

Hemsworth is taller, but Evans surpassed him long ago in the fucking-yoked-out-of-his-mind, no-longer-fits-through-doorways department. Cap's a bull walking around on two legs thesedays (from this year's Comic Con):
He really is. He is also an incredibly likable dude in just about every way, in and out of movies. He makes just as good a Cap as RDJ does Tony Stark.
