[Movie/TV/Comic] Marvel Cinematic Universe: A place to talk all things Marvel

[Immitis]

I think ideally if Marvel had owned the rights to the X-men we'd see Wolverine in Age of Ultron. At least because he did appear in the Age of Ultron series. But I digress.

im pretty sure if marvel owned x-men wolverine would be in everything.

wolverine and spider-man are marvels two biggest characters. if they owned those guys they would be everywhere

honestly natalie portman was the weakest actor on both thor movies. shes just an awful actress in my opinion and im glad shes gone. they will probably recast jane foster

- - - Updated - - -

I doubt this movie will resemble the Age of Ultron series very much at all.

theyve actually said it doesnt, theyre just using the name because its a good name.

Has any of the movies really resembled any of the comic stories, for real? I know the extremis stuff from Iron Man 3 is part of a comic book, but I assume the rest of the movie isn't like that comic book at all.

She wasn't that good in the Marvel movies, but she's absolutely awesome in Black Swan, and really great in V for Vendetta.

i will give her props she was good in black swan

[Kalcheus]

and as for them resembling the comic stories. somewhat. they havent really done a specific story yet. loki was the major drive in the avengers uniting in the comics, the infinity stones dont really resemble the comic book ones except the one in guardians.

so far the ultron stuff seems close enough to some of the older ultron stuff as they can get with no hank pym, which considering how important pym was is pretty good.

i also doubt civil war will be very similar.

they basically cherry pick from different stories, retrofit it to what theyve done (or havent done) and put there own spin on it.

Is that from a movie?

Mkay.

I want to say it's from a perfume ad or similar.

Haha nice gif She's an eye catcher and had great roles in Black Swan and V for Vendetta, but I cannot forgive her performances in Star Wars and Thor. Maybe it was the script's fault in both cases but she was especially unbearable in Thor 2. I know that she had issues with Marvel because of the director change but if you watch the trailer again at 0:38, I think she's standing next to Thor. I mean, who else should that be? You can easily recognize Black Widow and Maria Hill. Would also make sense because Thor collars Tony at 1:40. I had hoped they will kill off Pepper because she is also getting annoying (and this would be an even greater motivation for Tony to work for the government) but Jane is fine for me as well

I wonder about Hulk's sickness. Nanobots by Ultron? Disease by Hydra? Or something else entirely, like gamma rays are mutating?

I had strings but now I'm free. There are no strings on me

Quite catchy

Doesn't look like Natalie Portman, could be a new actor that gets killed instantly, although I'd find that pretty jarring. Who's the lady at Cap?

Which is why I think they are so good. If they were like the comics then you have the whole issue of they left this out, this was suppose to happen, etc. Cherry picking sections and creating their own universe altogether gives much more opportunity for things to happen and there's nothing they have to follow to be exact.

[Aeluron Lightsong]

I know it won't. It's already too late for an ideal Age of Ultron but roughly it will be what we know.

While that is true, it still follows it at least somewhat to a degree.

Maria Hill is my guess. Do we have any confirmation that Portman is indeed not in AoU?

they can also skip the shit parts and the retcon explaining

For the most part, yes, I wholeheartedly agree. In the case of Iron Man, Thor, Incredible Hulk, and Captain America, they've all modernized
(no choice really, you had to considering the times the originals began) but they've also kept key aspects of the characters origins and what
makes the characters the characters that we know. They're not always done right (*cough* Mandarin *cough*) and there are more moments
where they can tease or make more cameos of their yet to be introduced characters, but for the most part, its as good as its going to get
to "being done correctly."

All of this is completely devoid in the Fox films, especially the X-Men ones, which I hate with every fiber of my being. They're the MCU done
wrong and CONTINUED to be done wrong. Which is why I am awaiting the day when Disney gets the rights back and retcons the Fox bullshit
so it can belong with the MCU.

I can't believe they didn't take the opportunity to have the Hulk disguise himself as a robotic juggling clown.

That's your opinion. I think Days of Future Past is the best Marvel-based movie yet, and that the X-Men movies with their younger cast has come back on track in a big way after the end of the original trilogy and the wolverine movies. I don't see why they should try to make it like the comics and make it "correctly".

[Nerraw]

About the Mandarin, it was hinted in one of the shorts that the Kilian guy wasn't the real Mandarin.

Isn't Maria also in the scene? From left to right it's: Hulk, Black Widow, mystery woman, Thor - on the other side of the sofa, Cap, Hill, Rhodey, Stark and Hawkeye.

Apparently the mystery woman is Claudia Kim, rumoured to be playing Jocasta?

Some rumors I found about the whole Jane Thor stuff



Jane and Thor's Split: Not all is good between Jane and Thor in "Avengers 2." It is said the alleged opening scene of "Avengers: Age of Ultron" sees the Asgardian god at the bar looking at Jane (Natalie Portman) with Richard (Chris O'Dowd's character from "Thor: The Dark World). http://au.ibtimes.com/articles/556014/20140617/avengers-age-ultron-2-spoilers-first-look.htm#.VEo7LPmsXJY

"Well he’s been on earth now, he’s not up in Asgard, at the end of ‘Thor 2′ he decided not to stay there, and so he’s a more human Thor now, and there’s a bit more humor with him, and you’ll see him in some civilian clothes, he’ll be hanging out on earth for bit, so…

A bachelor? No! Nor at the end!" quote by Hemsworth himself http://screenrant.com/avengers-2-interview-hemsworth-thor-vs-ultron/
