I really, really do not like the way this is going at all.

I figured, for sure, that Avengers 3 would be the big Thanos blow-off and what came after would be dependent on who they can bring back contractually. Now there's Civil War talk (blech) and weird rumors about people not appearing; every single thing that's said lately is bad.

 

[Cloud Strife]

Where is the goddamn trailer?!@?!?@! November right?

Definitely in two weeks, I can see it coming online before those movies hit the following week.

Praying for next week hnnnnnnnnnnnnnnng

Isnt ILM owned by Disney now?

Agreed. People like trilogies. A3 needs to be the big payoff. Then we can stop, take a breath, and start rebuilding the MCU while phasing out some of the older heroes.

 

[x Power Pad Death Stomp x]

As much as I hate Civil War, I think Phase 3 being Civil War let's them branch out from a formula of "THERE IS A MACGUFFIN, THANOS WILL TAKE IT" until he assembles the gauntlet.

ILM talks about Hulk in Age of Ultron:

It lets them use different takes? How is this any different to what WETA and Cameron's team had already developed for Avatar?

Genuinely curious.

 

[Scorpion Soldier]

Isnt ILM owned by Disney now?

Now you mention it, yes they do.

 

[Pai Pai Master]

I'm thinking that maybe A3 is going to be focused on "B" tier stuff and characters, you know, Black Widow, Hawkguy, Falcon, War Machine Iron Patriot, Coulson and budgetS.H.I.E.L.D., the Netflix guys, Guardians, etc. Leaving the heavy tiers for A4

Avengers 3 = New Avengers
Avengers 4 = Mighty Avengers

BOOK IT

In one film Guardians are way bigger than any of those other characters. Even Black Widow, I would think.

 

[OldRoutes]

ILM is doing Ultron and Warcraft?

Usually movies this big have multiple vendors, usually split by assets/shots. (ILM will undoubtedly get most of the Hulk shots according to this, but this doesn't mean that ILM will do ALL of the Hulk's shots.)

For example, MPC and Framestore both split work on Guardians of the Galaxy, including Rocket and Groot. ILM wasn't involved.

 

[Elrond Hubbard]

NOOOOOOO! I need Cap wielding Mjolnir against Thanos. That is the only villain worthy enough to get his ass beaten in by a Mjolnir wielding Cap!

Skadi from Fear Itself wasn't worthy?

Does that middle one remind anyone else of Jonah Hill?

Hawkeye is so tiny :3 I also can't ignore Renner's petite feet.

Theres a joke about elves and being light of foot here somewhere.

...he's not?

 

[Thatonemoor]

...he's not?

Yeah hasn't he been 8 feet in all the marvel movies? Though it would be interesting if they made him like 10 feet or something.

 

[BLACKLAC]

Whoever colored that out is an ASSSSSsssssssss!

 

[- J - D -]

Maybe MCU Hulk is the kind of Hulk that can grow larger the angrier he gets. Like Ang Lee Hulk.

 

[Anung]

Seriously, look at them!

 

[Alcoremortis]

Why is Hulk so short?

He's actually taller here than he is in the 616 canon. Usually, he's around seven to eight feet tall.

3000 VFX Shots

"Victoria Alonso, an Executive Producer at Marvel & the studio’s Executive Vice President of Postproduction and Visual Effects, spoke at the VES Summit Saturday (VES = Visual Effects Society). She briefly alluded to the amount of effects work we can expect to see in next Summer’s AVENGERS: AGE OF ULTRON, and the numbers are mighty impressive.

…she anticipates topping 3,000 VFX shots for the Avengers sequel, which would make it Marvel's largest VFX shot count to date. She previously exec produced Captain America: The Winter Soldier, which maxed out at 2,500, and Guardians on the Galaxy, which reached 2,750."
​

Guardians seemed super heavy on VFX. Ultron is gonna require more than that?

 

[Ravek]

Prob because of Ultron's army and SW.

We have to be less than a month away from the trailers debut at this point right? I really believed we would have had the trailer by now.

You guys really think a Disney/Marvel debut trailer comes out before Warner Bros. Picture? How highly of you.

There was a rumor indicating that. But the trailer being with Big Hero 6 is more likely.

Yeah, as if you will see Dawn of Justice trailer before The Avengers 3, no chance.

To be fair, there was an Interstellar trailer in front of GotG.

The suit itself is huge.

 

[The Driver]

The suit itself is huge.

Yeah, if anything the armor itself still looks way too thin to house RDJ, but it's height seems fairly believable.

 

[X05]

You think Marvel doesn't know it's movie heroes don't have secret identities?

Sometimes I have my doubts.
To be fair, Age of Ultron was garbage and the movie is apparently only using its name.

A talking racoon!? Say whhaaaat!??

Relax. They've proven more than once they know what they're doing. Enjoy yourself sir.

Not the same, GotG was based on Abnett/Lanning's awesome run so I wasn't scared on that but on the fact that it had a chance on not being successful.

Civil War storyline would be a good way for the cinematic universe to "clean house" and introduce new characters or remove certain actors and introduce new ones in specific roles. Im thinking mostly Captain America.

That's what Thanos is for.

Don't worry, that's simply being postponed until Avengers 4. Hopefully.



I'll admit, I'm not crazy about them doing the Civil War thing either. I'd rather they just skip it and go right into Avengers versus Thanos for Avengers 3. I simply don't want to see the team fighting each other like a bunch of X-men, and I don't think the Marvel audience that they have garnered will want to see it either. This could be Marvel's first big mistep in the movie universe they've created. Hopefully I'm wrong and it turns out great though.

This, they *really* don't need to do Civil War at all.
