Avenge This!

Avenge This!

Spring 2012, and The Avengers - or, in the UK, Avengers Assemble - is released to huge critical and commercial success. By the end of the year, it has pipped The Dark Knight Rises to become 2012's bigg😼est box-office hit, earning $1.5 billion worldwide.

The closing credits hint at a sequel involving alien warlord Thanos, but there's a long way to go before The Avengers 2 is released...

Phase 2

Phase 2

Flashback to October 2011. While Joss Whedon was immersed in post-production on The Avengers , Marvel producer Kevin Feige announced the studio's future plans at New York Comic-Con. Specifically, he confirmed that Iron Man 3 "will be the first of what we sort of refer to as phase two of this...saga that will culminate, God willing, in Avengers 2 ."

The full line-up consists of Iron Man 3 , Thor: The Dark World , Captain America: The Winter Soldier , Guardians Of The Galaxy and The Avengers 2 .

Risky Business

Risky Business

While the success of The Avengers has made Phase 2 an easier proposition, Marvel was already prepared to take risks, as Feige explained to Moviefone in Septemb𒊎er. "It just solidifies the notion that for Phase 2, play the long game, stick with what you believe in, and when there is a fork in the road and one seems safer and maybe a little boring, and one seems risky and harder, we always go the risky and harder way.

"That’s what people will see in Iron Man 3 , Thor: The Dark World , Captain America: Winter Soldier and certainly in Guardians Of The Galaxy , which is one of the ones that I’m most excited about because it’s so outside the box and so w🐲eird and so different. People like grand experiments and things that haven’t been done before, the unexpected," Feige added.

Back In The Suit

Back In The Suit

First up is Iron Man 3 which hits most cinemas worldwide from 25 🅺April 2013. Robert Downey Jr. is back in the suit as Tony Stark, joined once again by Gwyneth Paltrow as Pepper Potts and Don Cheadle as James Rhodes

Behind the scenes, the film (alongside The Avengers ) marks a transition for M🦩arvel from previous distributor Paramount to new owner Disney, with the latter agreeing to pay Paramount at least $115 million for the privil🐻ege of releasing the two films.

Favreau out, Black in

That's not the only change. Jon Favreau, director of the first two films, passed on the threequel (although he'll continue to play Tony Stark's assistant, Happy Hogan). He confirmed on Twitter that, "It's true, I'm directing Magic Kingdom , not Iron Man 3 . I've had a great run with Marvel and wiღsh🎐 them the best," wrote Favreau.

That paved the way for Shane Black to take on the double-duties of writer and director, reuniting with his Kiss Kiss Bang Bang star Robert Downey Jr.

Ain't It Cool News reported that Black's approach is very different in tone from the first two Iron Man films. Speaking at the Omaha Film Festival, Black explained that - in Ain't It Cool's words - "The studio was not happy with the direction Iron Man 2 took.

" Iron Man 3 will not be another ﷽'two men in iron suits fighting each other' film. Instead, it will be more like a Tom Clancy-thriller, with Iron Man fighting real world villains," Black advised.

Without A S.H.I.E.L.D.

Without A S.H.I.E.L.D.

Likewise, Stark doesn't end up calling on his Avengers buddies. Feige told Collider in April 2012: "the gut instinct on the next phase and Phase 2 is to not have Iron Man 3 be a pseudo- Avengers 2 … Iron Man 3 is a full-on Tony Stark-centric movie."

Expanding on this point, he explained that Stark is "stripped of everything, he’s backed up against a wall, and he’s gotta use his intelligence toও get out of it. He can’t call Thor, he can’t call Cap, he can’t call Nick Fury, and he can’t look for the Helicarrier in the sky."

Enter The Mandarin

Enter The Mandarin

The first major casting coup arrived with 💫the announcement that Sir Ben Kingsley would play the film's primary antagonist, The Mandar💎in.

According to Marvel comic lore, this Chinese villain is not only highly trained in science and combat, butඣ has 𒁃extra-terrestrial tech at his disposal in the form of ten rings he discovered in a crashed spaceship.

However, Kevin Feige has confirmed that the movie inter𝄹pretation will have no magic rings or technological doo-das. Instead, he's a terrorist fashioned more from the countless iconographies of other cultures' evil warlords.

And if you've seen the movie already? Let's just say ဣit's fair to say that he's not what you're expecting.

The next major casting news saw Guy Pearce and Rebecca Hall cast, respectively, as scientists Aldrich Killian and Dr Maya Hansen. Speaking about their role🌜s, Pearce said, "I just think the films have a fun, joyful sort of quality about them. I've just enjoyed them. So I ju𝓡st felt like I wanted to be a part of this."

Meanwhile Hall told Entertainment Today that, "I decided to do Iron Man 3 because I've never done the 'Hurry Up And Wait' movie before. Even the studio movies I've done have been small studio movies, or indie films that we made on a wing and a prayer. I love those, but Iron Man is refres🌌hing in a way because it's something out of my realm of experiences."

In Extremis

In Extremis

The names of Pearce and Hall's characters alerted aficionados to the fact that Iron Man 3 would be at least partially adapted from the acclaimed comic book arc, Extremis .

Published in 2005-6 and already an influence on Tony Stark's origins story in the first Iron Man film, the plot of Extremis revolves around a nanotechnology serum created by Aldr🌄ich Killian and Maya Hansen that transf🎃orms people into "super soldiers."

Into The Dark World

Into The Dark World

Following Iron Man 3 , the next installment of Marvel Phase 2 will be Thor: The Dark World , released in October 2013.

As promised by Kevin Feige in 2011 to Disney magazine, "Thor will go off into a new adventure," which sees Chris Hemsworth as the titular Asgardian tussling again with The Avengers ' big bad Loki (H𝔉iddleston) and reuniting with Jane Foster (Natalie Portman) and Dr Erik Selvig (Stellan Skarsgard), even as he faces a new threat.

Trouble Ahead

Trouble Ahead

The official synopsis was released by Marvel in October, promising that "Thor battles to save Earth and all the Nine Realms from a shadowy enemy that predates the universe iඣtself.... but an ancient race led by the vengeful Malekith returns to plunge the universe back into darkness. Faced with an enemy that even Odin and Asgard cannot withstand, Thor must embark on his most perilous and personal journey yet, one that will reuniteꦡ him with Jane Foster and force him to sacrifice everything to save us all."

In Marvel lore, Malekith the Accursed is the ruler of the Dark Elves of Svartálfar, a race who - like the Gods of Asgardia - are a sci-fi spin on Norse mythology. In August, it was confirmed that one-time Doctor Who Christopher Eccleston w🔥ould play the evil elf, after Mads Mikkelsen dropped out♋.

Putting The 'Nah' In Branagh

Putting The 'Nah' In Branagh

One person not returning for the sequel is director Kenneth Branagh, who bowed out - according to the Los Angeles Times - due to the time pressures of script and visual effects development, which clashed with his commitments to starring in Wallander and working with his own theatre in Belfast.

Chris Hemsworth admitted his disappointment: "I learned so much from Ken while we built [ the first film ], so at least I had that time with someone like that. The start of anything creative is the most important period in a way. That’s when the most can go wrong, and Ken made sure we got it 🅠right🐷.”

The search for Branagh's replacement continued to the end of 2011, with Brian Kirk (a British TV director lately working for HBO on Game Of Thrones ) and Patty Jenkins ( Monster ) in the running.

When Marvel parted company with Jenkins due to "creative differences" (something that Natalie Portman wasn't happy about, according to The Hollywood Reporter ) it was announced that Alan Taylor - another Game Of Thrones alumnus, who also directed the first episodes of Mad Men - had got the gig.

The interest in recruiting from Game Of Thrones served notice of a possible new aesthetic, confirmed by Chris Hemsworth to Slash Film . "I think that is what’s exciting about the second one: making it sort of more tangible and having a more organic feel💞 to Asgard and that world.. I think of big waterfalls and mountains and a Viking influence... Having that in Asgard is going to make it all the more special and that’s what Alan wants to bring to it."

Meanwhile, Kevin Feige teased extra details in an interview with Collider . "What’s been going on in the nine realms without the Asgardians being able to use the Bifrost? I will just say it’s not ෴go🅺od."

Page 16 of 64

Love Affair

Love Affair

One of the dangling threads left from the first film that there wasn't room to explore in The Avengers was Thor's relationship with Jane Foster. Kevin Feige told Collider that The Dark World will remedy this.

"Really they were only together for three days, and do they love each other? Do they like each other? Do they know each other? We’re acknowledging that that love story in the first mov༒ie was sort of a quick crush, essentially, over the course of three quick days in the middle of the desert."

Loki And Learn

Loki And Learn

What about Loki? Tom Hiddleston told MTV News that, after the events of The Avengers , "he’ll have to take responsibility for what he’s done" in the Thor sequel.

With Malekith in place a꧙s a new threat, is there the possibility of a fresh start for Loki? "I for one am championing the redemption," stated Hiddleston, adding, "This isn’t definitely going to happen, but I think ♈there would be nothing more awesome than seeing Loki and Thor fight somebody side by side."

Winter Wonderland

Winter Wonderland

Chris Evans will return as Steve Rogers, aka Captain America, in April 2014 for Captain America: The Winter Soldier .

The title was revealed at the 2012 Comic-Con, confirming that the story will likely be an adaptation of the acclaimed comic arc where Cap's old war buddyꦺ Bucky Barnes (Sebastian Stan) has been brainwashed into becoming the Soviet agent of the title.

S.H.I.E.L.D. Returns

S.H.I.E.L.D. Returns

Evans and Stan won't be the only returning cast members, as Marvel is set to use The Winter Soldier to bring back S.H.I.E.L.D. from the sidelines after sitting out Iron Man 3 and Thor: The Dark World .

It was confirmed in Variety in June 2012 that Samuel L. Jackson will reprise his role of Nick Fury, with Scarlett Johansson and Cobie Smulders also set to return as Black Widow and Maria Hill, respectively. As Kevin Feige pointed out to Collider , "Tony goes back to Malibu, Thor goes back to Asgard, but there a♛re a number of people whoඣ stay in S.H.I.E.L.D. Steve, for the time being, is going to be one of them."

The Modern Age

The Modern Age

Much of the drama in Steve Rogers' story will come from the frozen WW2 hero navigating his way around the 21st Century, something that The Avengers only touched on slightly. The sequel will likely capitalise on a scene cut from Whedon's film, in which Steve searches for information on ꧃long-deceased friends.

Evans confirmed to Collider that "it is him tryin💖g to on a personal level adjust to the fact that everyone he knows is gone and the whole Peggy Carter of it all. There are a lot of things that h🥂e kind of has to come to terms with."

New Directors

New Directors

One of the defining characteristics of Marvel Phase 2 thus far is that each hero has a new director. Accordingly, Captain America: The First Avenger 's helmer, Joe Johnston, isn't in the running. A shortlist of potential replacements was reported as being down to The Adjustment Bureau 's George Nolfi, The Italian Job 's F. Gary Gray and Community 's lead directors Anthony and Joe Russo.

By June 2012, Variety was reporting that the latter were in final negotiations, and then they were officially locked in. With their background in comedy, the appointment of the Russo brother suggests that the light-hearted style of The First Avenger will remain intact. Although that said...

Tom Clancy Inspiration

Tom Clancy Inspiration

Yet 💦while it'll likely be a shade lighter than the other Marvel movies, Kevin Feige's teased some interesting points about a shift in tone and genr♏e, suggesting a story that'll mix up the story so far.

“What’s exciting to me about [Captain America 2] - sort of about Iron Man 3 too if you look at it - is it’s tonally almost like a different genre. Shane Black’s described Iron Man 3 as a Tom Clancy sort of political thrill𒀰er, which I like a lot. We hired our directors on Cap because they loved our explanation that we really want to make a ’70s political thriller masquerading as a big superhero movie.”

The first released picture from ꦕthe set, as seen above, certainly gives off a moody, darker vibe.

Page 25 of 64

Mega Supporting Cast

Mega Supporting Cast

The darker, more political tone certainly helps explain the addition of Hollꦉywood veteran and critically acclaimed dramatic actor Robert Re📖dford to the cast.

His addition back in April 2013 came with so🐟me ominous teasers about his place in the Marvel universe, aꦐnd what drew him to the project.

"The Captain America thing is just a very simple thing I wanted to do something different," explains Redford. "I wanted to do something just to be different. Something bold, different."

"And that felt like a good thing to do," he continues. "That was it, nothing more to it than that. Well, it’s bold in terms of expectations, I guess."

He also went on to describe his character as "the head of S.H.I.E.L.D.", which is intriguing since Samuel L. Jackson is already on board as Nick Fury. Will Redford be playing an earl🤡ier incarnation of Fury (setting up the name as more 🧜of a cover identity than an actual person), or is he even higher up the chain then our favourite one-eyed badass?

Crossbones

Crossbones

The Winter Soldier himself won't be the only threat faced by Captain America. Variety confirmed in October 2012 that Warrior and End Of Watch actor Frank Grillo is to pla🐼y the ജvillainous Crossbones

In the comics, Crossbones is the alter ego of Brock Rumlow, a petty criminal who becomes a mercenary working for the Red Skull. So does that mean Hugo Weaving's fiendish mastermind will be back? Nothing def🤪inite is known as yet.

Comic Cameos

Comic Cameos

Another surprising addition came courtes♔y of UFC fighter Georges St-Pierre, who was cast as C-list comic villain Bat🤪roc the Leaper back in February 2013.

His main power is a speciality in savate, a form of kickboxing, but thanks to his garish purple costume and stereotypical French characterisation, he's been somewhat of a joke in the comics of late. The hiring of a genuine real-life fighting bad-ass suggests the movie could go down a different r🌼oute.

Page 28 of 64

Calling The Falcon

Calling The Falcon

Alongside familiar faces from S.H.I.E.L.D., The Winter Soldier will see the big-screen debut of the Falcon, Marvel's first Afrꩵican-American superhero and Captain America's crime-fighting partnerꦡ in the comics.

Variety reported in July 2012 that Anthony Mackie was the favourite for the role, becoming the second star of The Hurt Locker (after Jeremy Renner) to take a job with S.H.I.✱E.L.D.

Intriguingly, Mackie suggested things coulꦜd've gone a whole other way before Chris Evans came aboard.

"I was offered Captain America," reveals Mackie. "It was just a straight offer. I met with the directors and the producers and talked to them and we were kind of on the same page about what it is 🔜𝕴we thought the character could be and they really were interested in my input and my ideas."

Lady Look

Lady Look

A huge number of actresses have been rumoured for Steve Rogers' modern-day love interest, including Brits Felicity Jones, Imogen Poots and Jessica Brown Findlay. But what of Hayley 🍒Atwell's Peggy Carter? Nothing has been confirmed, but Marvel has been pondering the use of flashbacks to Rogers' previous lifeღ.

According to Kevin Feige in April 2012, "we’re still figuring that out. We love that cast, we love his dynamic with that cast and we want to see that again…the cast from the first movie; we want to see that again because I think it informs his characte🤪r in a big way."

In February 2013, Emily VanCamp was confirmed for CA:TWS 's female lead.

Into The Galaxy

Into The Galaxy

Marvel's confidence in its back catalogue is strong enough now to make lesser-known properties part of its masterplan. Guardians Of The Galaxy will be released on 1 August, 2014, bringing together a rag-tag army of aliens and space adventurers to ta🌼ke Marvel Phase 2 into orbit.

The studio is promising a "big space epic," with Production Weekly quoting the plotline as revolving around "a U.S. pilot who ends up in space in the middle of a universal conflict and goes on the run with futuristic ex-cons who have something everyone wants.&ဣrdquo;

Aliens, Trees & Raccoons

Aliens, Trees & Raccoons

The title was first published in 1969 and ran on and off until 1995, charting the adventures of a team of superheroꦍes in the 31st Century.

A major rebranding took place in 2008 with the launch of the new Guardians Of The Galaxy , a team comprising previously stand-alone Marvel characters like Rocket Raccoon (a space-faring raccoon), Groot (a sentient tree creature) and Gamora (the alien adopted daughter of supeꦑrvillain Thanos). Iron Man has also been one of the Guardians.

The Way Of The Gunn

In September, James Gunn - veteran screenwriter for Troma and director of cult hits Slither and Super - confirmed on his Facebook page that he will be director of Guardians Of The Galaxy .

"As a lifelong ܫlover of Marvel comics, space epics, AND raccoons, this is the movie I’ve been waiting to make since I was nine years old. Kevin, Joss, and all the folks at Marvel have been amazing collaborators so far, and we’r🐈e committed to bringing you something majestic, beautiful, and unique."

Initial designs of the characters were debuted at Comic-Con 2012, showing how Drax Th♐e Destroyer, Groot, Star-Lord, Rocket Raccoon and Gamora might l🅺ook in the film.

The images were designed by Charlie Wen, who is credited on Marvel's last three films as "Visual Development Supervisor," which we think is a posh waඣy of saying "concept artist.🍌"

Casting the Good Guys

Casting the Good Guys

The Internet rumour hotted up in November 2012 about the actors vying for the lead role of Peter Quinn, aka interplanetary policeman Star-Lord. Examiner reported that Joel Edgerton, Jim Sturgess𒆙, Jack Huston, Lee Pace and Eddi🐠e Redmayne were all screen-testing for the role.

Yet the coveted role went to Chris Pratt, an actor known primarily for his comedy work in Parks & Recreation , but who also had a minor role in Zero Dark Thirty .

And it appears James Gunn is a massive fan...

"I saw maybe 80 to 100 guys read for Peter Quill. I was very specific that I wanted it to be somebody really extraordinary," Gun explained. "I really had Robert Downey Jr. in mind a lot. You had this guy who came in and he inhabited Tony Stark, when you first saw Tony S🥂tark he blew your mind, you ♏couldn’t believe what you were seeing. I knew that I needed somebody to blow my mind like that."

Casting the Bad Guys

Casting the Bad Guys

Michael Rooker - who appeared in both of Gunn's previous films - had originally expressed an interest in playing Rocket Raccoon, saying of Gunn, "he is a dynamite guy, and we have remained friends ever since we worked together on Slither ."

But he eventually won the 𒆙role of Yondua, a blue-skinned alien warrior who could be a bad guy or good guy depending🧸 on your place in comic continuity.

The big bad, however, appears to have gone to Pushing Daisies ' Lee Pace.

Which is intriguing considering♕ who we thought was in the frame for the movie's big🍷 villain...

Thanos Returns?

Cinemablend reported in September 2012 that the Guardians Of The Galaxy will likely be used as a major lead-in to the events of The Avengers 2 , with Thanos - the supervillain who made a cameo appearance in The Avengers ' post-credits tease - being the main a🐷ntagonist of 🌺Gunn's film.

The rumour is currently unconfirmed, but suggests that the comic arc The Thanos Imperative , in which the Guardians battled with the titular alien, will provide the s꧒ource material for the film.

Sexy Superheroes

What kind of superhero film is James Gunn likely to make? Well, there may be s𒈔ome indication in a blog that has recently resurfaced, titled "The 50 Superheroes You Most Want To Have Sex With," which the d♔irector wrote several years ago.

While Gunn has been forced to apologise for perceived sexist and homophobic comments in his post, it's a reminder that the director isn't noted for his good taste. With Super pushing the boundaries of what's acceptable in a superhero film, Guardians Of The Galaxy will liꩲkely be a highly irreverent - and possibl🍌y highly sexed - Marvel movie.

So that's Marvel Phase 2 on the big screen… but cinemas aren't the only place where the studio has it going on. In August 2012, Marvel announced that Joss Whedon was developing a TV spin-off for ABC, which was confirmed soon after as being a pilot titled Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D .

According to Whedon, the idea is to keep things distinct from the movies. "What does S.H.I.E.L.D. have that the other superheroes don't? And that, to me, is that they're not superheroes, but they live in that universe. Even though they're a big organization, that [ lack of powers ] ma🌺kes them underdogs, and that's interesting to me."

Yet when probed in A🦹pril 2013, he conceded that the movie and TV worlds will c🥂o-exist.

“The S.H.I.E.L.D. show fits into the mythology of remarkably well and they both complement each other. So it just seemed like a no-brainer – although it has required a lot of my brain to get it right.

"We have just finished ꦆshooting and I am excited. I think Marveꦿl fans will appreciate what we have done.”

Back From The Dead

Back From The Dead

Casting was announced during the last few months of 2012, with a surprise name hired to top-line the pilot: Clark Gregg as Agent Coulson, last seen being speared to death by Loki in The Avengers .

Joss Whedon broke the news at New York Comic-Con in October, explaining that "From before we made The Avengers , we discussed whether there was a way for him to be a part of the Marvel Universe, perhaps a part of a TV show even after his death... He's headlining the S.H.I.E.L.D. show and always was."

Unsurprisingly, Joss Wh♓edon has roped in his TV alumni to star alongside Gregg.

Angel star J. August Richards will act in a currently unnamed role in the pilo🌠t - although fanboy speculation has already gone wild suggestion that he could potentially be bringing Blade back into the Marvel uniℱverse....

But if Whedon is busy playing showrunner on the S.H.I.E.L.D. TV show, where does that leave The Avengers 2 🐎? Don't worry - he's doing both. Disney boss Bob Iger confirmed that "Joss Whedon has signed an exclusive deal with Marvel🔯 Studios for film and television through the end of June 2015," which will include the sequel to his box-office behemoth.

As for what the future holds, Whedon hinted to SFX what he'd like to do next time around. "[ It should be ] smaller. More personal. More painful. By being the ne🌠xt thing that should happen to these characters, and not just a rehash of what seemed to work the first time. By having a theme that is completely fresh and organic to itself."

UK fans were super-excited to hear that The Avengers 2 will begin filming in early 2014, right in𒅌 the heart of London.

Could Thor have wooed his fellow teammates over after his trip to The Big Smoke in The Dark World ?

Plot Hints

Plot Hints

As of April 2013, Joss Whedon a🙈dmitted that he had scribbled a first draft, but for obvious reasons plot detailꦐs are still on mega lockdown.

He has, however, mentioned that he was looking to bring two of his favourite characters - a brother and sister duo -ඣ to the sequel. Could it be Magneto's children Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch - both bad guys turned good Avengers in the comics?

Not only that, but during press for Iron Man 3 , Don Cheadle teased that War Machine could have an increased presence in Avengers 2 .

“I know that [ there are ] conversations that have been happening, so we’ll see what happens,” says Cheadle. “If that’s able to happen and it makes sense for the story, I’m sure it’ll happen, and if not it’s fine. It has to work within the world and sort of 🍸the mythology of the whole Marvel universe.&rdquo🐠;

Phase 3 Begins with a Downsizing

Phase 3 Begins with a Downsizing

The long process of bringing Ant-Man to the screen began as long ago as 2006, when rumours began to circulate at Comic-Con. Yet it won't arrive in cinemas until 6 November, 2015 - ensuring it'll kick-off Marvel's mega Ph🌌ase 3.

So, what's taken so long? Marvel has bided its time, partly because Ant-Man is not one of the studio's most famous properties. The superhero debuted in 1962 as the moniker of Henry Pym, a scientist who developed a serum that allowed him 🐼to shrink to insect size, before a new Ant-Man - Scott Lang - adopted the identity in 1979.

The Wright Approach

The Wright Approach

One thing has remained constant during the film's long development - the attachment of director Edgar Wright. Back in 2007, as Hot Fuzz premiered in cinemas, Wright told IGN that " Ant-Man is in a bit of a holding pattern. We're figuring things out with the script🥀 and we haven't initiated cast𓂃ing. We still have quite a bit to do."

Fast-forward to 2010, and that was still the case, Wright explaining, "Because that character isn't one of their biggest properties, it’s not like a tentpole deadline. It’s more like me and Kevin [ Feige ] [ saying ], 'Let's make a really good script.'"

Avoiding Ant-ics

Given Wright's career, it would be easy to assume that Ant-Man will be a more comedic affair than other Marvel properti🥀es. Not so, claims Wright.

In 2008, the director revealed that, “It’s going to be less overtly comedic than anything else I’ve ever done. It’s more of a full-on action adventure sci-fi film but with a comedic element – in the same spirit of a lot of escapist fare like that. It’s certainly not a superhero spoof or pastiche and it certainly isn’t a sort of Honey I Shrunk The Kids endeavour at all.”

Attack The Script

Attack The Script

As far back as 2006, Wright's co-writer on the project was Joe Cornish, aka 'Joe' from The Adam And Joe Show . At the time, he wasn't known in movie circles, and Wright had to explain to SuperHeroHype that "Joe is a vꦚery talented, multi-hyphenate. Joe is like a writer and director, and can we say that you're a comedian as well?"

Since then, Cornish has stamped his own identity on screen as writer/director of Attack The Block , and co-writer with Wright on Steven Spielberg's The Adventures Of Tintin .

Then And Now

Then And Now

The big question with any Ant-Man movie is whether it will adopt Henry Pym or Scott Lang as its hero. According to Wright, the plan is ✱to involve both characters.

As he told SuperHeroHype , the "you actually do a prologue where you see Pym as Ant-Man in action in the '60s, in sort of 'Tales to Astonish' mode basically, and then the contemporary, sort of flash-forward, is Scott Lang's sܫtory, and how he comes to acquire the suit, how he crosses paths with Henry Pym, and then, in an interesting sort of Machiavellian way, teams up with him."

Stan The Man

With the film seemingly in endless development, Wright directed other films - first, 2010's Scott Pilgrim Vs The World and then the forthcoming The World's End . Yet Ant-Man continued to bubble away in the background.

In 2010, Stan Lee - Ant-Man 's creator - tweeted that, "I had lunch with the cool, young director Edgar Wright ( Shaun Of The Dead ) and, as you'd imagin💮e, we had fun discussing 🐬the tiny hero."

Ant Avenger?

Ant Avenger?

With the Marvel Universe increasingly tangled, many wondered if there would be a place for Ant-Man in The Avengers . Those rumours were scotched in 201, when Wright told Cinema Blend that, "my film is very much an introduction to that character, and so it wasn’t something where it felt right to introduce him in that film. Maybe if I do the solo Ant-Man film and maybe there’s a later Avengers t🍌hen they could draft him in later. But it didn’t work with the kind of the angle that we were going to do with the origin that I’d written♓."

While still only at the pre-production stage, the footage below displays the director's kinetic pacing and wit with a sequence of Ant-Man launching an assault on a guarded 🗹door from the handy hiding place of a ventilation grille, and rapidly miniaturising before they can shoot him.

The Hulk Spin-Off

The Hulk Spin-Off

Considering Mark Ruffalo's brilliant, and commercially and c🧸ritically acclaﷺimed turn as The Hulk in Avengers Assemble, it's no surprise that chatter has begun regarding a possible solo outing.

Kevin Feige sai🦋d back in September 2012 that he'd be keen.

"Do I think Hulk can carry a movie and be as entertaining as he was in Avengers ? I do believe that. I do believe he absolutely could. We certainly are not even going to attempt that until Avengers 2 . So there's a lot of time to think about it."

Latino Review ran with a story in early 2013 that suggested Avengers 2 will feature a post-credits scene that tees up a standalone Hulk movie that would tie in with the comics classic Planet Hulk story, in which everyone's green-eyed rage ba𓆉ll is flung in deepest, darkest space.

But Whedon pooh-pooed the idea just weeks later, telling IGN , "Well, I’m really not supposed to comment, but no, that’s nonsense."
