Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver are both fair game, as long as you do not mention that they are "mutants" and Magneto's children.
Which is fine because at first they did not know that they were his children.

They're working on shorts IIRC. Probably to test the waters.
EDIT: Are Marvel even allowed to use Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver or is that Fox territory?
I asked this in the Iron Man thread, but why didnt Shield recruit War Machine over Stark? Stark was ineligible because he was all self centered and stuff, but War Machine is a disciplined soldier witht he same (or at least similar) suit of armor, so why not choose him? Or both?

I thought that too, so I checked it out and apparently she's going to be the new Captain Marvel.

If they can do the Mandarin in IM 3. Then I don't know why they wouldn't be able to do a Dr.Strange film.
Don't remember much about both though so someone please tell me if my analogy is stupid here.

Isn't Wakanda one of the richest/technologically advanced nations?

Well, because comic books, really. But yeah, in the context of the movies, War Machine probably would've been leading the team.

Stark has the knowledge and resources.
War Machine is just a dude with one suit.

Given how they've established SHIELD jacks anything weird that ends up on Earth and tries to get something out of it, it's not impossible to have them possess some Kree tech that fucks up Carol and gives her powers, kinda like in the comic.

I think they're both free to be used by Marvel Studios.
They didn't go to Stark because they needed another gun necessarily, they wanted him because he's a genius and an asset for being, well, Tony Stark. That's why he still got on, because his intelligence took precedence over firepower, although he has that too and is a clear asset. Avengers Initiative was to bring together extraordinary people, and War Machine is just simply using dated tech from the innovator; Iron Man.
Maybe in the future though. I can see Rhodey popping up in A2.

A colonel with tons of military experience and all the resources of SHIELD at his disposal. From SHIELDs perspective, it'd totally makes sense for them to have their own super powered dude that is unequivocally on their side on the team. Of course, he's not as funny or cool as Stark, so...f' that guy!
True, true. I think the Chitauri should be the only alien race for a while though.

The Chitauri are lame, cosmic Marvel is so much better than that

Between the Frost Giants and Chitauri, doesn't seem "Cosmic Marvel" is getting represented all that well in these films.The Chitauri are lame, cosmic Marvel is so much better than that

Yeah, but honestly I've always hated that we have a medium that allows for unlimited artistic vision and we have the Kree who are basically blue humans. Meh.
...and I really hate the Skrulls too. Especially how Marvel basically treats them as an infinite retcon card. Heh.
Probably best to ease into that stuff after getting people on board with semi-recognizable faces first. Why a GotG movie would logically come after Avengers, and probably before the culmination of the Thanos story, whether that is A2 or A3.
Not to mention Cloud Galactus, though that wasn't their fault.
They have the Inhumans, although audiences might not like a main character that only speaks for 99.5% of the time.

That's true. I do appreciate the Kree's general "we will fuck your shit up in seconds" attitude, though.
I'm not saying I want them to be a big part of a future film, anyway, as far as justification for Ms Marvel goes it doesn't even have to be named alien tech, Marvel nerds will read between the lines regardless.

I thought we were talking about superheroes???
Maria Hill is pretty awesome though. Ms. Marvel with short hair is also awesome.
Theory? Short hair makes you awesome.

She's Captain Marvel now. There's a new ongoing coming in July that'll give her the new costume and name.
Because Stark is alot more than the armor.
I just read up on this. I will look forward to checking it out when it hits the stands.
Cosmic level is a very quick way to lose people's interest.
Most not comic book fans think of more terrestrial battles when they think of superheroes.
Cosmic marvel is a clusterfuck at times and for every good storyline there are two or three really convoluted ones.

I don't think so. The Mandarin powers are alien in nature, the ten rings that gives him his power came from an alien spacecraft. So his magic is much like the Asgardian, which is technology so advance it is indestingiushable from magic.
Dr. Strange magic would be similar to the magic used in the Ghost Rider movies, it would have to be super natural in nature.

Asian hasn't really been represented, so I would think the casting call would be for Asian. Who knows though.
Who's writing/penciling?
They need a token asian superhero don't they?

Wait, DeConnick is married to Matt Fraction?
*how did I not know this*
Only thing I've read by DeConnick is Evil Incarnated...

According to the latest word from Feige, there are two more Marvel films that have yet to be announced, and there are lots of potential candidates.
Despite all the build up, I am still pessimistic that Ant Man will be one of them. I just don't think it brings enough to the table for the direction that they seem to be taking the MCU.

He (Kevin Feige) wanted to be locked up in the MCU!
i guess that doesn't really apply here. Oh well.
I remember reading that Jon Favreau saying if he were to bring the Mandarin to the big screen, his rings will be more tech based instead of magic based.

SW/Pietro are open field. Whoever nabs them first gets to use them but Marvel studios can't mention Magneto/mutants.
She Hulk would bring a strong independent female personality who also is very snarky and funny.

I love She-Hulk to death, but I seriously doubt they'll remove regular Hulk, and having two Hulks on the same team seems kind of redundant.

Thing is Huilk won't always be transformed and is a rampaging monster where She Hulk usually stays hulked out and is more mobile and controlled with some real skill.
now we know magic and science are one in the same.

She definitely makes more sense as a member of the team, but since this is a movie, they're going to keep the fan favorite around.
Put her in Incredible Hulk 2, then give her the sexy superhero lawyer comedy spinoff I've always wanted.
But his rings already tech, Favreau didn't know enough about them.

Why I think after Avengers 2 split it into WCA and Avengers 3. Would be beautiful. LOL, can I dream can't I ?
But she would play a different role than Hulk in the team. More of another fighter like Cap.

I suppose it could work if Banner was helping the impoverished of surrounding areas and stumbled upon Wakanda or something to that effect.
