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!’” |

I'm pissed at FOX for completely ****ing up the FF story with Doom, and even more pissed for ****ing up The Silver Surfer and Galactus story EVEN WORSE. Now with the super duper reboot, Johnny Storm is black. I mean, good ****ing lord. Get these characters out of the hands of these butchers. /nerd rage |

iI'll be about 10 years before this occurs, FOX will attempt multiple reboots then lose a shit load of money due to the over saturation of the franchises the do own the rights to. The next one on the chopping block that will be an instant stinker is the Fantastic 4 reboot of course.

Push that minimum time back a bit - they just announced yet another Wolverine movie, and have mentioned one more, probably in the X-Men line. They're going to keep those going probably until Hugh Jackman is too physically old to play an immortal. Maybe longer.
Also, there's no way they'll ever make a Secret Wars movie, even if they had all the rights - the series is largely seen now to be a low-concept, bad-quality, toy-hawking money grab, which it was. I think the one they've got is already an Infinity Gauntlet series, just without the X-Men. Also also, yes, the Fantastic Four reboot will be terrible. |

Why are they rebooting FF? I am so sick of having to see origin stories.

The X-Men and Spiderman series keep making a ton of dough for FOX and Sony. They wont be giving those up anytime soon.
