The Avengers 2 Reviews, Interviews & More

The rumor mill has been going crazy as of late. We're not entirely sure what is going on with the cast of characters for The Avengers 2 other than knowing that most of the regulars will be returning for the sequel. Now Joss Whedon has spoken up, saying that we may see a couple of new X-Men centric faces including another familiar one which many fans at this point...

We’ve previously reported to you that Marvel is planning on bringing the African superhero Black Panther into the Marvel Cinematic Universe; elsewhere in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, we’ve noted that even Jeremy Renner thought his role in The Avengers sucked.  What do these two things have to do with one another?  Well, they...

Because Joss Whedon has cautiously let the entire world know that X-Men and sometimes Avengers comic book characters Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver will be appearing in The Avengers 2 (rather, they’re in the current draft, at least), it’s now time to let the rampant speculation begin as to who will take the role of the two new Avengers—because simply waiting to find out when the...

Following The Avengers’ success as one of the highest-grossing films in human history, Iron Man 3’s opening day ticket sales being the second-highest, well, ever, and the varying (but still solid) success of the Thor, Captain America, and other Iron Man films, Marvel Studios can pretty much write their own ticket at this...

Last month, we reported that Joss Whedon, when discussing his newest draft for The Avengers 2 script, stated that “I’ve got these two characters, two of my favorite characters from the comic book, a brother-sister act.  They’re in the movie.”  Many (including us) speculated that this was a reference to Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch, a mutant brother and sister due who, while...

Last month, we reported to you that the Black Panther—a long-rumored addition to Phase Three (translation: everything after Avengers 2) of Marvel’s Cinematic Universe—had finally been cast, with actor Morris Chestnut tweeting that he’d be the man for the black tights.  But then Chestnut backed out, and word is that 42 star Chadwick Boseman may be the...

Now that we're officially in Phase 2 of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, plenty of fans have been chattering away over how Marvel and company could possibly top what they did in The Avengers. Then again, fans like myself won't really question how Joss Whedon will be able to outdo himself since he delivered so well the last time. We know who The Avengers will face next. Actually, will...

It’s well known that Robert Downey Jr.’s contract with Marvel ends with Iron Man 3, which gets an official release on May 3.  Despite that fact, it’s assumed that Downey Jr. will appear in 2015’s The Avengers 2 in at least some capacity.  Further, as /Film notes, it was assumed that an Iron Man 4 was “probably” going to...

After promising that “awful things” will happen to the Iron Man, Captain America, Thor, the Hulk, Black Widow and Hawkeye during an interview about The Avengers 2 earlier this month, Joss Whedon has let even more details slip about his upcoming superhero sequel to one of the most financially successful films of all time.  Want some spoiler-y information because you just can’t...

Back in the day, studios licensed characters from Marvel, hoping to turn their characters into movie stars. Sony got Spider-Man, Fox had The Fantastic Four and Daredevil, and so on and so on. Now that Marvel is its own studio they'd rather have their characters back in their fold, and recently Marvel confirmed that...

Anyone who has enjoyed Joss Whedon’s best work (Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Firefly/ Serenity) knows that, despite the fact that he genuinely seems to love and care about his characters, always instilling them with humanity and integrity, he also never shies away from exposing their faults and allowing truly, truly ugly and terrible things to...

Stephen McFeely and Christopher Markus are the two masterminds behind Captain America: The First Avenger. When they teamed up with director Joe Johnston to make the movie on the all-American superhero, it was the perfect combination. After the success of the first film, Marvel looked at the writing duo to continue working their magic on Phase 2 of their grand master movie plan,...

Man, it's been taking Marvel awhile to go ahead and figure out when they're going to finally insert Black Panther into their movie universe. They've been talking about bringing the character into the fold and giving the superhero his own movie, but nothing's really happened on that front aside from script development, until today. There may be a particular actor that...

Yesterday, we received a small concept-art peek into the world of Marvel’s “Phase Two” (you know, Iron Man 3, Thor: The Dark World, Captain America: The Winter Soldier, Guardians of the Galaxy, Ant-Man, and The Avengers 2).  Today, Marvel has gone full tilt boogie and released a video preview of Iron Man 3, along with...

Phase 2 of Marvel Studios' highly anticipated series of movies is about to begin in little over a month. The thought of that makes many of us, including myself, want to bounce up and down in our seat with excitement. Marvel already hit it out of the park the first time around with their first series of stellar films. Now we're getting a small first look at what we should expect to see from...

Marvel's movie universe has been constantly expanding within the past couple of years. They've brought us out to space, connected several of our favorite superheroes together and successfully have gone through their Phase 1 of their movie franchise. Now they're in the thick of Phase 2 that begins with Iron Man 3. While most of the world has to wait...

When watching the most recent trailer for Iron Man 3, sharper eyes than ours apparently caught the fact that Tony Stark’s “Hulkbuster” armor was seen crashing through a wall—“Hulkbuster” armor being the gear that Stark designed to control and/or fight the incredible Hulk with should the big green guy turn nasty.  So, of course, this being the internet,...

A few weeks ago, rumors began to slip out that a major portion of The Avengers 2 and The Avengers 3 would concern the Hulk, and his storylines from the Planet Hulk and World War Hulk graphic novels (in which the Avengers, fearful of Hulk’s destructive power, send him into space; the big green guy then crash lands on an...

While The Avengers was something of a problematic blockbuster (a dud of a first half-hour, a mega deus ex machine ending), there was one element that everyone seems to agree worked out just fine—Mark Ruffalo’s Banner/ Hulk character.  So, of course, there have been the inevitable solo Hulk film rumors (despite the first two not being overwhelming successes), as...

Ok, look, just in case the headline wasn’t enough—there are significant spoilers to The Avengers 2 and The Avengers 3 below concerning a certain green CGI rage monster who smashes gods and really doesn’t like Scarlett Johansson.  Got it?  Ok, so no complaining then. Warning: The Avengers 2 and The Avengers 3 spoilers ahead.
