Avengers 2
Joss Whedon Talks Quicksilver, the Scarlet Witch and Iron Man's Roles in Avengers 2
Joss Whedon is certainly keeping busy with Marvel. Having written and directed the mega-blockbuster, The Avengers, he is now launching Marvel’s first live-action TV show, Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., while also preparing Marvel's The Avengers 2. I spoke to Whedon this week at ABC’s Upfront, where S.H.I.E.L.D. was being announced and asked him a couple of questions about Avengers 2 and some of the characters in it. Whedon had previously alluded to a brother/sister duo being in the film, which EW later said was indeed Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch. When I brought up Quicksilver and the Scarlet Witch to Whedon, he confirmed they were the characters in question, explaining, “You know, they had a rough beginning. They’re interesting to me because they sort of represent the part of the world that wouldn’t necessarily agree with The Avengers. So they’re not there to make things easier. I’m not putting any characters in the movie that will make things easier.” We also know Tony Stark/Iron Man plays another large role in the sequel, but the end of Iron Man 3 saw Tony destroying all the Iron Man suits we knew about, while seemingly stepping back from his time in the armor. When I asked Whedon if that made it a challenge putting Iron Man in Avengers 2, he remarked, “Well, I feel like in Iron Man 3, even though he said, ‘I’ve changed' -- he blew up his remote suits, but I don’t think anybody thinks he doesn’t have one anymore. The question is, if The Avengers are called, does he show up? And the answer is, ‘Yes!’” |

Can't remember where I read it but there was some talk about Marvel moving to drawing their source material from upcoming and very recent plots in the comics as a way to not muck with classic stories but it also makes it easier for new fans to get into the comics and have a familiar footing of what's happening - push for increase in crossover fans and bump up the readership. Just what I heard, though it was grounded in some inside information, but definitely not confirmed.

Thanos is the baddie in the other flick with Pratt coming out Aug 1 next year, Gaurdians of the Galaxy. It got slipped at Comic-Con, but they have future plans for him down the road too. Now I'm thinking he wont be the main guy in Avengers 3 since he will be so recently featured unless there's a tie-in which they have been constantly saying they don't intend to feature that as a crossover into the avengers world.... ?

Will Wasp be in it then as his obsession / mission to make Jocasta? I'm assuming she'll be in the Antman flick that precedes avengers2

GotG will be character building for Thanos. Gamora is basically his daughter. Thanos is going to be up to something big. |

Spoiler!
I think that was just fan speculation, and pretty unlikely now since Coulson is in the Shield tv show. Unless he's already a robot in the tv show, I guess. |

I have no doubt that any of the producers of these movies would boldly lie to any available microphone in order to keep the secrets of a billion-dollar movie from being guessed too quickly.
Also, I'm tempted to think they won't do the Coulson/Vision thing because it's been so often guessed by fans. At first? Maybe. Now, and especially with him in the TV show? I'm going to say probably not. Buuuuuut, I think having Vision in it is pretty likely, considering his long-term popularity, and that they're introducing Scarlet Witch. And I think it's a foregone conclusion that if Wasp doesn't show up in Avengers 2, she will in Ant-Man. The sched: 2013: Iron Man 3 in spring, Thor 2 in fall. 2014: Captain America 2 in spring, Guardians of the Galaxy in fall. 2015: Avengers 2 in spring, Ant-Man in fall. |

Shouldn't Ant Man come before Avengers 2, if they're going with Ultron?

It hasn't even been confirmed that Hank is the Antman they are going with... but I still think it'd be silly to not.

Scott Lang has actually been Ant-Man for much longer than Hank Pym was. They could easily go with him, especially if they want to keep Hank for another role (say, focusing on his robotics angle as the creator of Ultron).
