29.04.12 # Sequel # 423 Comments
There’s been some Avengers 2 talk over recent weeks, so what has been said and what direction is the sequel likely to go in?
The Avengers is shaping up to be an enormous financial hit. After just two days at the foreign box office it’s taken $36 million and broken records, including the third biggest opening day in British history. In the US, it’s tracking at one and a half times the pre-sales of all other Marvel Studio movies – combined. Which means it’s going to open somewhere in the range of $160-200 million. Audiences have rated it an extremely high 9.0 on IMDB, and 96% of critics like it or love it. I’ve seen the movie, and it has a much higher rewatchability than other superhero adventures – expect significant repeat viewings after a huge opening.
All of which means a very large financial incentive to press forward on a sequel. So what can we expect from The Avengers 2? Firstly it will almost certainly add to the team. Stan Lee doesn’t have creative input but he’s said he’d like to see Black Panther, Dr. Strange or Ant-Man join up. There’s been an Ant-Man standalone movie in development for some time, and more recently a Dr. Strange movie is on the boil. Ant-Man and Wasp seem like very likely additions as they have been an almost permanent feature of Avengers comics in recent years. Don’t expect to see Spider-Man join though, as those movie rights are likely to stay at Sony for a considerable time.
Producer Kevin Feige is in creative charge of the movies and says that Marvel’s upcoming movies will fit together as another set of films leading up to the Avengers sequel. Iron Man 3 “will be the first of what we refer to as phase two of this saga, that will culminate in Avengers 2.” He also mentioned that a Dr. Strange movie could well fit into this second phase. All of which means that the Avengers follow-up won’t hit theaters until 2014 at the very earliest, with 2015 more likely.
Who will be the villain? **AVENGERS SPOILER** The Avengers end credit scene introduces us to Thanos, who smiles when he’s told that to attack Earth is to “court death”. Thanos in the comics is fascinated with death and nihilism. He kills millions on his home planet with nuclear bombardment before travelling to earth. He is capable of superhuman strength and can absorb and project vast quantities of cosmic energy, enough to obliterate planets. His most famous storyline sees him gain possession of the Infinity Gauntlet, recently glimpsed in the Thor movie (in Odin’s trophy room). Each gem of that gauntlet grants its bearer complete mastery over one aspect of the universe: Time, Space, Mind, Soul, Reality, or Power. We know that Thanos is not a villain in Iron Man 3, and appears unlikely for Thor 2. So it’s fairly safe to assume the set up is for the next Avengers movie. ** END SPOILER **
What would you like to see happen in an Avengers sequel? Who should join the team? Should Thanos be the only villain? Leave your thoughts in the comments.
The previous marvel movies that are apart of the avengers have villains that have not been killed and no on knows what happened to them. In the hulk, the abomination never was killed, captain America never killed red skull, Loki still isn’t dead, and the scientist in the hulk that becomes the leader should all be villains in the next avengers to finish the fights between the avengers. I wanna see the villains join together like the avengers did.
well to comment on the hulk villians they will be used in hulk 2 and 3 cause they are making 2 more hulk and thor movies and 1 more iron man movie and a possible 3 movie group with ant man and wasp
I think they should go back to planet Hulk and fight there.
Avengers 2 needs Wonderman for sure.
wonderman would be a nice addition its just that he is a lesser known avenger and im not sure if they are going to put so many in
i think that spider man and wolverine should join the avengers, the movie would be even more bad ass
they aren’t avengers so thats a stupid post
olha pelo que eu vi por alguns sites, na opinião todos os herois como: quarteto fantastico,homem formiga( ou hoem gigante pois os dois sao a mesma coisa),vespa,os x man,deviam se reunir para enfrenta-lo eu sei que é um trabalho dificil mas é a minha opiniao.E tambem eu fiz uma pesquisa e o Super Skrull é um aliado de Thanos entao ele pode ate aparecer no filme.
I’m not even sure if this is legally a possibility, but does anyone else hope that somehow that was darkseid at the very end and that was the spoiler for an avengers/justice league movie? I realize that there is almost no chance of that but i’m just sayin itd be sick.
i think they should put mocking bird the black panther ant man and wasp and lastly vision into the avengers movie vision should come in after the ultron crisis thou so manly the others first
what about captain marvel fighting thanos, like in the comics? ant man and wasp would be awesome additions too
Warmachine, wolverine, and the fantastic 4 are the main heros that should join the Avengers
How would you put the Fantastic Four in there circle when Chris Evans is already Captain America. Who would they cast as the Human Torch?
I would like to see wolverine involved, come on people. the Hugh Jackman character just kicks ass, also I saw that for a time storm was involved with the avengers, throw her in too. as far as the fantastic four, personally I feel that those movies while good are a little hokey to placed into mesh with the current gen of films being used. that said this case could also be used against using the x-men characters as well.
Back in the 60′s, Scarlet Witch and her brother Quicksilver was members of the group. It would be awesome to have a speedster on the scene in Avengers 2.
I’d really like to see Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance join the Avengers. Now, I know that the ghost rider films aren’t that great but if he joined Avengers, I’m pretty sure that the Rider will become more popular and likeable. PLEASE PUT HIM IN!!!! Ghost Rider needs to stop being a minor character and become a well-known hero.
AnyOne else think there might be some civil war lead ins in avengers 2?
It was a fantastic movie and I want more!!!! I was hoping Wonder Woman would be in it but there is talks of doing a Wonder Woman movie before releasing her in sequel. The Wasp, Ant Man and Black Panther for sure. Wolverine/Hercules. There are sooo many greats and if they could, they would. Would be amazing. Though I like when they keep original cast members. Too bad Jane Foster/Natalie Portman did’nt make a cameo in it.
I think it would be easier for the story lines to bring the red scull back in the avengers since 1 that’s how they bought captain america back and 2 capt never really had any history past the avengers. Then they could bring in hydra a since shield and hydra was fighting each other before there was avengers. That would be the easier choice for me for the team put panther in widows place and keep Hawkeye. But yeah red skull bad guy if he could make those weapons and trouble in his original timeline think what he could do with todays tech and hydra a army too…
