Avengers 2: Age of Ultron

Could the X-Men be in Avengers 2?

 

Well rumor has it that the X-Men might be in Avengers 2. Lauren Shuller-Donner, producer of the X-Men and Wolverine franchise has met with Marvel movie producer Kevin Feige and has expressed interest in the idea. There is no word yet. The X-Men teaming up with The Avengers might be fun.

A cameo would be awesome. Hopefully this newfound interest is due to that one exec leaving and Millar coming aboard

Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch hinted to appear in Avengers 2

 

 

"When you're dealing with the story, when you've got the characters that you love, when you've got the new characters sliding in next to them - it's very exciting. Then I don't feel pressure, then I feel like I'm reading my favorite comic. I've got these two characters, two of my favorite characters from the comic book, a brother-sister act, they're in the movie. That's exciting! You lock certain things in, there's a fluidity."

So I guess Magneto has no kids in the X-Men universe, then. Seriously though, why does Marvel keep trying to convince us that Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver are cool or interesting characters. They are not.

[Thrizzle]

I always thought Quicksilver was interesting, but mainly because of his relationship with his father.

 

The only thing Wanda has going for her is her robosexuality, which I doubt they would be smart enough to dedicate a substantial portion of the film to like they should.

[Iambaytor]

Quicksilver's daddy issues just explain why he's such a prick

[Newtype]

Most of the actors don't want to return due to mavel not wanting to give them money.

[Panch]

Marvel better.

[The NZA]

^is that really a thing? i hurrd Norton was just difficult to work with, are Downey Jr/Evans/etc really not getting what they ask for?

 

marvel, you sold off your premier shit (X-Men, Spidey) to get in this spot, and then turned your lesser franchises (Iron Man, Cap, Thor, Avengers) into your top-tier shit. don't pull a DC and fuck this up.

[Newtype]

Downey got paid a shit ton of money.

 

Everybody else got about $200-300K for the avengers.

[Panch]

I don't believe that for one minute. I'm sure there was incentives and shit. The movie made a zillion dollars!

[The NZA]

if Avi Arad was still around he'dve been like "ya'll get free Avenger lunchboxes, and a discount on your own action figures"

[Keth]

Aren't they contract bound at this point though? Or is that just each character's respective movies with the contracts?

[Mr. Hakujin]

I don't believe that for one minute. I'm sure there was incentives and shit. The movie made a zillion dollars!

 

According to this article Newt's info is solid. Well, as solid as gossip about money can be.

Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch hinted to appear in Avengers 2

Confirmed!

 

I wonder if Fox has the rights to the Marvel concept of 'mutants', and if Marvel Studios can use the term.

[Iambaytor]

Joy, I get to not care about them in an entirely new medium

[Mr. Hakujin]

Huh. So I guess Thanos is going to be totally contained to Guardians of the Galaxy, and maybe the Thor sequel? Or will these two be "agents" of Thanos?

[Iambaytor]

Hopefully agents because those two are not good enough villains to hold an entire movie. I am wondering how they're going to swing this without the whole Magneto attachment as that was literally the entire thing that made them relevant.

[Mr. Hakujin]

That's what I'm thinking--maybe they work for Thanos instead of the Brotherhood of Evil Mutants.

[Iambaytor]

It's literally the only thing of use that they could be, maybe they're just saving Thanos for Avengers 3 so they can have a suitably large cast for an Infinity Gauntlet movie.

[Reverend Jax]

Do you thinking they teased Thanos in Avengers 1 with the plan to not use him until Avengers 3? Or do you think they've since decided to push him back? Because if Thanos is NOT in Avengers 2, then I think that means he'll be in Guardians of the Galaxy.

[Iambaytor]

I think he'll be in Avengers 2 but I'm getting the impression he's not going to be the ground-level enemy until Avengers 3 or better. Kind of like how Loki wasn't the threat in Avengers but was still the over-arching villain even though Frost Giants/The Destroyer were the things Thor primarily fought.
