Quick Silver and Scarlet Witch? Does Fox not own the rights to all X-men characters?
Marvel Studios and FOX made a deal that SW and QS could be used in the Avengers universe as long as there was no mention of mutants, FOX is allowed to use them but are not allowed to reference the Avengers.

So what happened to Thanos? I have been out of the loop on this sequel

Thanos will be referenced in Guardians of the Galaxy (several characters in the film have connections to him) and I'm guessing he will be in Avengers 3.

Except their dad is Jewish....maybe they don't know? Also I guess magneto doesn't exist in MCU (so dumb)

Again they didn't know Magneto was their father for years. They will probably be orphans pissed off at the world and just fell into a bad crowd. Cap will son them into the side of goodness.

I've been telling you guys Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver would be villains in this(at least at first) since they were announced.

You guys are breaking my heart with this no weaving skull talk. He has been my favorite bad guy so far. Screw Loki and his fangirls.
I thought Weaving did a great job in The First Avenger.

He didn't like doing the countless hours of makeup for the film though.

Not really a stretch considering their first appearance with The Brotherhood of Evil Mutants.

And I totally called it that Loki would be the villain in The Avengers!

Don't spoil my fun. :(
 
lol im just yankin' your chain.

I think it's a fitting change, to have them misguidedly working with Strucker in the beginning. Whedon definitely knows what he's doing.

We know Hawkeye has a bigger role this go round, and the rest of the team will need screen time as well. It makes much better sense to me to introduce them as villains. There is only so much run time.
 
Hey Sony. Announce Spiderman for Avengers and that you've partnered with Disney.

I would rather Disney announces that they have purchased the rights back and Sony must immediately halt all production on the Spider-Man IP. :)

I see, thank you. Is he to have no ties to Avengers 2? Seems rather odd to leave the first one building into him being in the next one somehow and him not being there

If he does, I don't think it's the kind of thing they would reveal before the movie comes out. That said I don't think he will, because Ultron should stand on his own as a major antagonist for The Avengers. I think it would take away from Ultron if Thanos was somehow involved in his rise to power behind the scenes.

That's what Guardians is for; it helps keep Thanos in people's minds in between Avengers 1 and 3 without having to use him in 2.

Please be Hawkguy style Hawkeye. I want to see him drinking coffee straight out of the pot.

Not ever happening. At least partnership we get to see him in Marvels Universe. I happen to love Andrew as Peter/Spiderman but think he needs to be given a better script. Hopefully two let's him shine.

If it's Renner, I doubt we will.

I personally want his goofy costume but redone to fit a more modern setting. At the very least give him a mask.

I don't really see the point of a mask. He's not hiding in the public view like other heroes. He's just a secrete agent and no one really knows who he is anyways.
In fact, it didn't feel like any of the heroes in The Avengers had a public and private face.
 
They've avoided the whole secret identity trope in the MCU almost completely. Tony came out and said it from the beginning and they did away with the Donald Blake character for Thor. I'm hoping Whedon gives Hawkeye a chance to shine but I've been fine with his costume (or lack thereof) since he is introduced in the MCU from the beginning as a SHIELD agent rather than a masked superhero.

What the flying fuck if that would be the storyline.

It is debunked? How? But damn that would be confusing for the standard cinema visitor

It's all bullshit. It was written by someone on Twitter claiming to be another guy who also claims to be an insider (but isn't one either).

I don't like taking away the point of them wearing masks. I know that's how his character was introduced but it just seems weird for a secret agent not too attempt any sort of cover.

I know his mask is goofy but I'm seeing these comic book movies for that aspect. I love all the costumes introduced so far except Hawkeye's. Dull and boring with no stand out features. It doesn't help that Renner is kind of boring and uncharismatic. I wish Jenson Ackles would play Hawkeye.

Winter Soldier is just a tool though thawed out sent on a mission put back in storage.
.
I get the feeling that, after Fury is rendered comatose, the Redford led SHIELD will be positioned as the villain of the picture and Ultron will be an Avengers contingency plan from SHIELD that goes wrong.

God's had his chance.
If Avengers 2 (or even better 3 after giving Renner a chance to flesh out the MCU hawkeye a little more) doesn't have the Hawkeye Ultimates scene where he flicks hang nails through peoples eyeballs and then picks up two M4s for the first and the security guys just shit themselves out of fear ... it's a wasted opportunity.

Such a great real world version of Hawkeye in Ultimates 1 and 2.

And Thanos is an Avengers 3 villain for sure. They will need the guardians, Avengers and a lil Scarlet/Quicksilver backup to deal with the mad titan, surely.
 
Awesome that Strucker will be in this, even if it might end up as a very minor part of it.
I still want to see how Ultron will look in the film though:

So I guess Marvel may be amalgamating Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch with Fenris? That'd be a pretty clever way of loosely approximating their backstory in the comics, given the obvious rights issues.

I think it might be offensive for the children of jewish heritage be rewritten as the children of a nazi

Id rather they just do like someone asking about their background and Nick Fury walking into the room and being like "That's classified soldier!" or something

I think Thanos is being held off until they make an Infinity Gauntlet movie. That seems like the next step for Marvel.

I dont see a point to Thanos getting a gauntlet , half of the uber powered beings he would be able to humble dont exist in the MCU. The aspects of reality surely dont exist. Galactus is at Fox and the other Pantheons aren't even under consideration for existence so far its been changed to super advanced .....psuedo science.

Avengers 3 has to be Avengers vs. Masters of Evil

Half of Phase 2 and possibly all of Phase 3 is centering around the Infinity Objects/Gems, building to the confrontation with Thanos over the Gauntlet in Avengers 3. Which will probably be called The Avengers: Infinity War, in my opinion.
