I wouldn't mind seeing him getting a full-on superhero leading role at some point, though. I could see him as Namor if Universal ever actually goes ahead and makes that.

All hail the king thoughts SPOILERS
this is the first one shot I've watched and it was enjoyable seems very important to a possible iron man 4
It also had a very self aware humour in regards to the mandarin fan backlash
Also love the continuity with that nice little cameo at the end

Yeah, the cameo was great. And it is obvious that Ben Kingsley was having a helluva good time with playing Trevor.

The last scene left kind of a bad taste in my mouth.
I wouldn't go so far as to call it homophobic, but it seemed to be treating homosexuality as inherently hilarious in a way I didn't really care for.
Holy cow, awesome!
We need that Hawkguy One-Shot with Renner in his apartment chilling with Pizza Dog/Lucky. Give him a chance to show he can be a charismatic and funny Clint. Have the Tracksuits show up too.

ill have to rewatch the scene after the movie I don't remember anything offensive maybe my Rockwell bias was blinding me
That One-Shot would make perfect sense, we need to know what Hawkeye has been up to between Avengers 1 and 2 after all.

Now I'm totally expecting a Hawkguy short on the Guardian of the Galaxy DVD release.
Why with GotG? Because I expect that the Cap 2 DVD will have something Thor 2 related, and that means that GotG should have something Cap 2 related, and since Hawkeye is a member of SHIELD, and I haven't heard him being mentioned as being in this movie, it would be a nice way to give him some screen time before Avengers 2 hits theaters.

It's a seriously awesome One-Shot. I really hope they do an Iron Man 4 with the real Mandarin sooner than later and I really hope Kingsley reprises his role for it.
And I really hope that's not the last we see of the tracksuit vampires.

I felt the same though it was still awesome seeing Sam Rockwell again. I hope he makes an appearance in one of the movies soon.
Just saw All Hail the King. Best Marvel One Shot yet. Entertaining as hell.
I have to wonder, were all the digs at CBS a reference to any tension between Paramount and Marvel/Disney for control of the MCU films. I'd have to imagine that Disney is pissed that Paramount logos are slapped on the Avengers & Iron Man 3 even though they contributed nothing.

I thought we knew this before. Makes sense either way.
4 series with 13 episodes each plus the miniseries with 8 episodes.

Awesome that they're shooting in NYC. Would be pretty sweet to be walking around and see Daredevil on a rooftop. (Happened to my brother with the 70s Spider-Man.)

Drew Pearce claimed on Twitter that that bit was intended to be "warmhearted," but it really feels to me more like
Hammer's newfound (I think) homo/bisexuality is being comically presented as an additional insult-to-injury humiliation on top of his being in prison. Maybe if the "not now, baby" bit hadn't been the punchline for the whole thing...

yeah but consider that that person may have been dominated and is acting that way to survive. Within the context of prison everyone isnt choosing to engage in homosexual behavior so i wouldn't take it that way while they were in jail. Things are different on the inside, and someone who's made the choice to survive that way inside of jail should not be compared to someone who lives that way of their own free choice outside of jail.
I wouldn't lump the two together, or draw a comparison, or say ok what are you saying in GENERAL about being gay from the example of an inmate since that is a sub-set of people who are gay, and a sub set of those inmates don't necessarily want to be gay they might be...getting raped/dominated by others for whatever reason and play that role as the woman/hooker to survive. It happens.

I don't think making light of prison rape is okay.

I didn't think the bit I mentioned above was making light of prison rape, though Trevor has a line earlier that arguably is.
We've all been to drama school, if you know what I'm saying.

Before anyone gets that excited (too late): It's a Marvel Studios special, not an Age of Ultron special. The press release only contains a brief mention of AoU; really, how much could they show beyond concept art given that filming just started?

Not surprising that ABC has zero desire to even mention the Netflix shows.
I'm guessing interviews with the new cast? (James Spader, Elizabeth Olsen, Aaron Taylor Johnson)

For AoU, they probably have a short soundbite from Whedon about it. I'd be pleasantly surprised if they got new cast interviews... but they're not going to say much outside of, "Yeah, I'm glad to be on this project. It's going to be a blast! You ain't seen nothing yet!" etc.
Even if they wanted to, there's really nothing to say about them. I guess show runner interviews about the general concept of them...

So that will be airing in place of a new episode of SHIELD, from the looks of it. I guess it's better than just outright taking another week off.

Sounds a bit like a follow up to the documentary that came with the special edition to The Avengers.
Check 13 post above.

ABC Television Studios is actually co-producing the Netflix series, which makes it a bit more odd that they're not mentioned here.
And yeah, I noticed that this is airing in SHIELD's time slot; there haven't even been three consecutive new episodes since November.
Whatever my frustrations with SHIELD in particular, the scheduling model of 22 episodes stretched out from September through May/June with numerous hiatuses really needs to die. Shorter seasons, later season premieres, splitting the season in two with an extended midseason hiatus - there are plenty of options that are better than this.

Yeah the constant breaks are not doing that show any favors at all.
Solid casting news.

Young Pym, maybe?
I hope he's a villain. He was the best thing about A-Team.

That was my first thought, but the article said he isn't playing Pym. But maybe they are just guessing.
Also, was Evengeline LIlly actually confirmed for a role? I thought she was just the latest casting rumor?

Edgar Wright assembling one helluva cast.
And the news of the Age of Ultron stuff being shown sets my heart a flutter. They could show nothing except for what design they are using for Ultron and I will be squealing like a little girl. Just show what he looks like, tell the world that he is going to kick ass from here to over there, and be done.
And yeah, it's old and shows next to nothing, but I still get goosebumps from the SDCC teaser for Avengers: Age of Ultron.
Bring it. Unleash the mecha god on us.

I haven't been reading any speculation about it, but my guess is that it will focus on trying to boost Agents on Shield with the hype coming off of Winter Soldier. I mean, we are specially talking about a special that is airing on ABC. They need to right that ship somehow.
