Civil War sucked though.
I thought it was pretty cool. Lots of good material for a movie. Also, like I said, it be great to see a shit ton of heroes.

And make Tony Stark the biggest asshole ever. No thanks.
The only good thing about Civil War was Cap kicking Tony's ass all over the place at the end. Sadly, it was all undone by Cap walking off crying like a lil bitch.
The idea of it was really good. The cinematic universe is not the comics universe, so they can easily take the concept and do something better with it.

I liked Civil War, but I don't want to see it in the MCU.

Exactly. Would you seriously want them to turn RDJ into the biggest asshole in movies? I wouldn't.
It's not like he isn't already the biggest asshole on the team. :lol

I don't see Iron Man wanting to go his path in Civil War with the character they setup. Neither would Cap. So who would be on the side of the government? Thor? No. Hulk? No.

The asshole level he is currently at in the movies doesn't even come close to touching Civil War. I definitely don't want to see that adapted at all.

But not an asshole that would turn on his friends and help the government hunt them down. Movie Stark would never do that.

Didn't he just call a kid a pussy in Iron Man 3 seems like he's a asshole already

He's an asshole in the films, not a fascist. Civil War made him genuinely unlikable as a character.
MCU's Iron Man wouldn't act the same way as he does in the comics either, plus not enough characters, plus no thanks please.
The idea of splitting everyone and tilting them against each other might be neat conceptually in a movie, but the whole registration storyline sucks.
So again, no thanks.

There is being an asshole and being a fascist.
Exactly. Civil War ruined him as a character. Fuck Tony Stark post Civil War. Right in the ear.

NOOOO!
I just brought Civil War up because I think the premise and the tension it creates would be great on screen. Reveal identity or not?
They could play with it a lot. I don't think it'd be hard for Tony to keep the same position in the comic and not be a fascist. I think the main argument that is presented in the comic by Tony and Cap, can be argued convincingly both ways.
I just think it would be great material to play with.

The day RDJ steps down from being Iron Man is going to suck. It is going to be a massive undertaking for whoever replaces/succeeds him.
Speaking of the future I hope Kevin Feige stays on as Marvel Studios president as long as he possibly can or is willing to.

Well, he's a lovable asshole. Civil War would be character assassination for the MCU-Stark. Plus his relationship with that kid was gold.
The kid is basically Tony Stark Jr. His comments come from a similar place as the kid (absent father).
Plus, there are no masked vigilantes or anything of the sort in the Marvel MCU. There are so few heroes, that it's almost pointless. And what heroes there are are easily tracked by the government, hell they work for/with the government.
I think an Annihilation-type movie for Phase 3 would be awesome. Besides being a great story in its own right, it'd make for a good sequel to GotG and would be a perfect lead in for Thanso in Avengers 3.

Annihilation would be fucking NUTS as a movie. I would love to see that.

Haven't read the storyline, but that'd be perfect to bring in Olyphant for Nova. Cause Justified will probably be over by that point.
Feige, DOOOOOOOOO IT.
TDLink

Completely agree. I would go so far as to say I would prefer it to a mere "GotG 2" (or slightly change it into being a GotG 2 with Nova still as the primary character). That story is just so movie-perfect that it has to happen.
Read it man, it's only like 25 or so issues. It really is great.

Shiiiiiiiiiiiet, Chris Pratt already bulked up for the role as Peter Quill. From yesterday:

Annihilation would be an epic damn movie, and easily compressed to fit in a single movie. Only problem is Annihilus. Isn't he tied up with Fantastic Four or not?
If GotG does take off like I want, I think we will get a fucking crazy sequel, and Annihilation is the perfect thing. Somehow end it with Thanos getting the Infinity Gauntlet and you set up Avengers 3 easy.

man, I remember when I first saw photos of bulked up Chris Evans preparing for 1st Captain America movie. it's nuts. same trainer/gym? lol
They could replace him with "the Other" from Avengers.

No. Annihilus is not included in the Fantastic Four license agreement. Marvel can (thankfully) use him at will.
Haha...nice.To this:
Chris Evans, Chris Hemsworth, Chris Pratt -- makes sense.

Woo hoo!
I remember reading the story and when it was revealed he was the villain I was like "uuuuh. This is a bad thing for the good guys."
But to those that never read Annihilation: read it! Epic as hell, and one of the best final battles against a villain. That spread of the final blow was a major holy shit moment.

Maybe instead of having one guy replace RDJ, they could have SHIELD implement an "Iron Legion" and get an ensemble of characters to use different suits. War Machine/Iron Patriot, Rescue, etc. Use established and original characters.

Pratt has to take his shirt off before there can be any sort of fair judgment off his body compared to the other Chris'.

Bitches love smiley faces
What? Really? I'll take it, but that's pretty odd. He's primarily an FF villain.
I would be so on board for that. As a Nova fan and a Justified one, yes please.
Well, apparently he looked like this for Zero Dark Thirty (haven't seen it):
So depending on when shooting starts for GotG I think he'll have no problems passing your inspection.
(needs more pecs tho)

Has any story info on GotG leaked? Any interviews with Pratt? I've found very little. No interviews with Pratt.
Is Peter Quill half alien in this or something? Or are we going with "Human kid with a destiny of sorts"

You've posted this multiple times in Marvel threads, and each time I agree with it more.

I am hoping the fact that Annihilus is an alien and the colour green would allow them to actually film that finisher as well while keeping it PG-13.
The FF license is actually pretty restrictive. It doesn't allow FOX to use even close to all of the FF villains. They name specifically which can be used...and its only like 5 or 6 different ones. Annihilus is not one of them.
Super Skrull, unfortunately, is but his part of Annihiliation could easily be excised in a movie version or given to some other character(s) (like GotG members if they made this a "GotG 2").
No leaks yet but all indication is that the characters are faithful to the Abnett and Lanning interpretations rather than the recent Bendis run (thank god).

If they do make Annihilation, it MUST have that finisher. The audience would pop as much as they did for Hulk smashing Loki in Avengers. Maybe more so since Annihilus would have wiped out billions of lives by that point.
Googled for it, but the one I found isn't verified. Mind you, Joss Whedon's isn't either.
He also only has one tweet. Joss though seems to RT a lot of fans, so I might just ask him "Hey man, this Olyphant guy is a pretty good actor. Are you a fan?" and then link to a picture of Nova.

I imagine it's going to be a semi reboot for the Tony Stark character while still maintain the MCU continuity. think of it like Bruce Banner Ed Norton to Mark Ruffalo switch, both are supposed to play the same character Banner in the same MCU continuity, but when you watch both movies back to back, they felt like a totally different character and their personality are nothing alike.
they can arrange similar thing to Tony Stark, for example, kill Pepper Potts in Avenger 2, now enter a new actor playing Tony Stark for IronMan 4 in a different angle, probably less humor or adapt more of comic Tony Stark darker personality, the big tone shift will make accepting the new actor easier, and if the story and performance are there, then it can still be good and faithful to the comic.

Are you sure about that? Is their an official quote about that? I could have sworn after Avengers Feige said they could have used Skrulls if they wanted to but they decided to do Chitauri because they didn't want to get into the whole shape shifting thing and overcomplicate the film (even though the Chitauri in the comics could masquerade as humans as well)
TDLink

I agree. The story is good enough to do even without it, but it really is an amazingly good capper.
Like Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch either Marvel or the license holder (FOX) can use the Skrulls. Super Skrull, however, is a specific character that only FOX can use as long as they hold the license.

At the end of Iron Man 3 it says "Iron Man will return" is that in reference to Avengers 2, a hint that there will be an Iron man 4, or just that one way or another there will be more Iron Man in the future?
Ah I see. Is there a list of what villians/charecters are part of the FF Fox deal?
