There's also the fact that any time an actor threatens to leave in order to up their pay, these outlets think the MCU is on the brink of collapse or something.

Plus if they are planning on using Avengers 3 as a vehicle to introduce/set up a New Avengers team, then it's going to be packed enough as it is and a lot of the current team members would likely only appear for supporting/cameo parts, especially if they would play a role in the larger universe cross-over event (let's just call it INFINITY for now).
The rumours of Cap forming a new team at the end of Age of Ultron makes sense if it's going to work this way. Maybe they get Evans back for both of the new movies and he leads the New Avengers team with Quicksilver, Scarlet Witch, Panther, Captain Marvel, Ant-Man/Wasp and Doctor Strange. Then for Thanos, they need to get the core team back together along with the New Avengers, The Guardians of the Galaxy, and The Defenders. It'd be massive.

I'm of the opinion thay the Marvel Studios brand is so strong that WHEN (not if) they recast these characters-it won't affect the box office returns. People want to see Thor, not necessarily Chris Hemsworth. RDJ obviously is the big one, but I think the Iron Man franchise can survive with the right casting-and Marvel is great at casting.

Cause Downey commands like 50 mil for each movie he does as Iron Man, and they want to be very picky on that.
Yeah, Marvel Team-Up movies would be dope
Although I guess Cap 2 could be considered a Cap-Black Widow team up movie
I don't see why they need to recast any of the roles. They should just keep introducing new characters, like they've started doing.

Well obviously at some point in the future they're going to want to use characters like Captain America and Iron Man in their stories again.
But I agree, it's better to give new characters the spotlight (which will be good both for their movies and comics) and give the current core Avengers roster a rest, until they can actually build some hype by announcing new castings instead of doing it RIGHT after the old guys/gals step out of the roles.
Maybe. I mean, it would be jarring for in the same continuity that these actors to suddenly wildly change in age.
I think what makes a shared universe special is that the actors are mostly all the same. Take that away they're no longer illustrating the appearance of a consistent, living breathing world.

Hard to deny that Chris Hemsworth and Chris Evans are a big part of why people went to watch these movies in the first place.
They are as important to the role as the character they play, but I do agree that there probably won't be too big of a box office drop when they are inevitably recast.
Because then that's one less solo Iron Man/Thor movie or one less Avengers movie they can do.

Robert Downey jr is both not getting any younger or cheaper. Plus, he seems like he is starting to lose interest in the role. Wouldn't be surprised if an iron man 5 is a reboot/relaunch with a new actor.
They have to plan for these things.

the hulk toys look pretty good, how pose-able is this toys? and how's the build quality
also, how much are they? I assume this is cheaper more mainstream toys and not the expensive collector hot toys?

I really wonder how dark this movie will get. A mix of fun and serious darkness would be great.

What happened to captain America's crotch? Even for an action figure he's lacking.
Think of the manchildren!
Like I said, I don't know why they would have to recast the roles. Of course I know it's likely that they'll end up being recast but with all the characters that Marvel has and with Guardians of the Galaxy doing so well, there's no reason for them to just move on from characters once the contracts run out and continue with new series'.

It would be such an interesting twist to make this version of the Marvel universe the first where human characters actually age. No recasting, just new generations of heroes borrowed from the vast repertory of characters at their disposal.
Then eventually... many years later... maybe reboot the universe again to reintroduce Iron Man and whatnot.
I can't see Disney doing this though.

Feige once said he'd be totally okay with letting the characters age with the actors, but that there were various other factors involved that could prevent this (do the actors want to keep doing it until they're older? RDJ seems to not be on that boat).
Is it me or is this easily the worst/lamest Hulk figure ever?
I mean, even this looks loads better:
You're comparing a $20 figure against a $300+ one. Of course it will look lame.

The Hot toys one is 18" tall and cost about 320 when it was released. Of course it's 100 times better looking.

hahahahahahaha
Mind posting a picture of what you'd consider a legit good action figure? Because if it's not the three hundred dollar one, I'm really curious where I can go to save money.

He has a caged Hulk in his backyard. These toys are garbage.

Every comic I've read has told me that putting the Hulk in a cage is a bad idea.
He should check and make sure his backyard is still there and not, say, in space.

I have an unhealthy addiction to the trailer's audio. Hopefully we get something soon before I go nuts.
