I heard that the scene is:


New scene with Tony and Bruce is of them working on Coulsons body, which was recovered quickly. Glimpses of green and gold armor similar to that of Ironmans' being moved around and soldered/welded.

Will Loki Return for Thor 2?

Plus, star Chris Hemsworth hopes for a more "organic" feel to Asgard.

April 13, 2012

Press for The Avengers has of course gotten underway this week, with all the actors talking to a variety of outlets. As a result, we can expect lots of tidbits of evasive Marvel news to leak out over the next several days -- including the following on Thor 2 (which starts shooting in three months in England). Beware of spoilers!

Marvel mega-producer Kevin Feige spoke to Collider about the Thunder God's return to Asgard, as well as Loki's status after The Avengers.

"Loki has a part, but there will be a different villain, another big villain," he says. "But you can't do a Thor movie without Loki."

He also talked about Thor's development as a character:

"Well it's sort of the crux of the whole sequel and it's what [Chris] Hemsworth is most excited about diving into, and it's what is the heart of story; it's Thor and Jane, to continue that dynamic. 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 movie was sort of a quick crush, essentially, over the course of three quick days in the middle of the desert. And [the heart of the movie is also] the relationship between Thor and Odin, which does change drastically as it did over the course of the first movie, and picks up and continues from there."

As for how the timing of this all works for the characters in regard to The Avengers, Feige seems to have it figured out:

"Look, the way The Avengers is constructed, not a lot of time passes over the course of the movie and whether it's Cap or Thor on the ground in the States here in modern day, they don't have a lot of time to deal to deal with their own stories, they've gotta deal with the stories of The Avengers. So while the relationship between Loki and Thor certainly has changed and has progressed, a lot of Thor 2 is picking up where it left off in terms of Jane … and also 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 good."

More Thor 2 talk comes from Chris Hemsworth himself, who tells Slash Film the following:

"I have read a script and we start shooting in August. I met with [director] Alan Taylor a couple of months ago and Natalie Portman and I and Alan and a couple of Marvel guys and it was hugely exciting. Ken [Branagh] did such a wonderful job and, with scheduling or what have you, he didn't end up doing this one, but I'm a big fan of the Game of Thrones series, which is Alan's latest work, and 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 the science fiction element to Thor… the danger is it falls a little bit into the world of it's 'tough to throw a light to.' I think of big waterfalls and mountains and a Viking influence, where the Norse mythology kind of grew from. Having that in Asgard is going to make it all the more special and that's what Alan wants to bring to it. I think that would be the new aspect to this one."

SIR BEN KINGSLEY IS TONY STARK'S NEXT VILLAIN IN IRON MAN 3

 Director Shane Black (Kiss Kiss Bang Bang) will be starting filming of Iron Man 3 in North Carolina in just five weeks, so it's about time that we start hearing about casting, and this week, we did. Sir Ben Kingsley, recently of Hugo and currently filming Ender's Game, is in final negotiations to play "the villain" in Iron Man 3. The initial release also goes out of its way to specify that Ben Kingsley will not be playing The Mandarin, Iron Man's traditional arch-nemesis whose existence has been teased in previous films. All that is known about who Kingsley will play is that he is somehow involved with nanotechnology. An interesting aspect of the whole Kingsley-isn't-the-Mandarin announcement is that when he wears a goatee or van dyke, Sir Ben Kingsley does in fact bear a resemblance to the way the Mandarin has often been drawn. Another possibility is that this could be a situation similar to the casting of the villain in Batman Begins, where there was some subterfuge surrounding who exactly Liam Neeson and Ken Watanabe were playing. In this case, is it possible that Sir Ben Kingsley is playing a character that doesn't call himself The Mandarin, but basically is, you know... The Mandarin?

[Hyperion]

He looks exactly like the Mandarin except for that whole, ya know,

CHINESE

thing.


Not that that kind of shit's important or anything any more.  After all, Superman is Asian now.

[Rex Tyler]

After all, Superman is Asian now.

Did I miss something?

[Hyperion]

he has a very asian aura too him.  Much more than a "Kansas" look.

[RAC]

I can now die happy. That's all I'll say. Mind blown.

Is a Cap/Falcon Team-Up Happening?

Plus, Steve Rogers' post-Avengers plans.

April 14, 2012

Watch out for spoilers for Avengers and the whole Marvel movie universe in general!

We've heard rumors that in his next film Captain America might be teaming up with his old partner the Falcon. And in an interview today, Marvel president Kevin Feige didn't do much to dispel those rumors.

In a chat with the Huffington Post, the following exchange took place:

Question: Captain America always has a sidekick. In the next Captain America movie, is he going to have a sidekick?

Feige: It is interesting that you ask that question. And I'm not going to give you an answer. But I will give you kudos for pointing that out and recognizing that.

Question: When I was younger, my dad had a bunch of Cap comic books from the Captain America and the Falcon era.

Feige: [Pauses] That was a fun era.

Question: You're a vague guy.

Feige: [Laughs]

Question: And no comment to my accusation about you either?

Feige: [Laughs] No.

Question: O.K., I get it. I realize that you have to be vague.

Feige: I'm impressed with questions that are more relevant than others. And those are relevant.

And then Collider also spoke to Feige about Cap 2, leading with a question about how much of the film might take place back in World War II.

"We're still figuring that out," Feige responded. "We love that cast, we love [Chris Evans'] 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 character in a big way. But the primary storyline takes place post-Avengers, Steve figuring out his place in the world. Tony [Stark] goes back to Malibu, Thor goes back to Asgard, but there are a number of people who stay in S.H.I.E.L.D. Steve, for the time being, is going to be one of them."

The Best Captain America Scene Not in The Avengers

Joss Whedon on the heartfelt scene he cut.

April 14, 2012

Joss Whedon, writer-director of Marvel's The Avengers, told The New York Times about the best scene he wrote and then cut from the script, one that featured Steve Rogers reuniting with his flame from Captain America: The First Avenger.

"One of the best scenes that I wrote was the beautiful and poignant scene between Steve and Peggy [Carter] that takes place in the present. And I was the one who was like, Guys, we need to lose this. It was killing the rhythm of the thing. And we did have a lot of Cap, because he really was the in for me," said Whedon.

He continued, "I really do feel a sense of loss about what's happening in our culture, loss of the idea of community, loss of health care and welfare and all sorts of things. I was spending a lot of time having him say it, and then I cut that."

For those who may not recall, Chris Evans' Cap was supposed to meet Hayley Atwell's Peggy for a date, but he never made it, ending up in suspended animation for nearly 70 years instead.
