Marvel Cinematic Universe's Phase 2 and 3 News
- Loki will not be in Avengers-2. In Empire's Film Podcast, Joss confirmed that Loki will not be present for another Hulk-Loki smash or to speak certain words that flew under most people's radar. Please look up the word "quim."
- Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch will be in Avengers 2. "[Quicksilver] is in our movie. He's going to be dope. Quicksilver and Scarlett Witch are very close to my heart because they were Avengers the whole time I was reading the book as a kid."
- Saoirse Ronan recently spoke with The Mary Sue and touched on the notion that Joss Whedon considers her his "prototype" for the Scarlet Witch, but had not been approached yet for the role: "I love Joss and I love those films, and I love his handle on them and how he portrayed these kinds of superheroes. I think it’s very different from what anyone else has done. So yeah, I’d love to be in it."
- There is no word on who Joss has in mind for Quicksilver, but Bryan Singer has recently cast Evan Peters (Kick Ass, Never Back Down) as the speedster in X-Men: Days of Future Past. No word on Singer's Scarlet Witch.
- Robert Downey, Jr. has signed on to play Tony Stark for at least 2 more movies. It was confirmed by Marvel that he has signed a two-picture agreement to star as everyone's favorite billionaire, playboy, philanthropist in “Marvel’s The Avengers 2” and “Marvel’s The Avengers 3.”
- This makes me wonder if RDJr was successful in securing pay raises for his Avengers co-stars that he was lobbying for a few months ago. A source said, "He’s the only guy with real power in this situation. And balls of steel, too. He’s already sent a message that he’s not going to work for a place where they treat his colleagues like s***."
- Hopefully they all got what they wanted because in an interview with The Daily Beast, Joss Whedon said regarding RDJr, "He is Iron Man. He is Iron Man in the way that Sean Connery was James Bond...I have no intention of making 'Avengers 2' without him, nor do I think I’ll be called upon to do that. I don't think it's in my interest, Marvel's interest, or his interest, and I think everything will be fine."
- No word on an Iron Man 4.
