    It's partly a money thing too. Marvel's pretty good at budget crunching. They always go for mid-level, cult-like talents. Proven enough, but not exactly high profile. Has a following, but fairly cheap. And if possible, dump the director after the first movie and replace them with cheaper ones, which is what they did by going with Alan Taylor, Shane Black and the Russo brothers.

    I was actually just reading about Matt Damon and he’s like, ‘There’s a culture of outrage.’ I’m like, ‘Well, they have a reason to be outraged.’ I think it’s a lot of dudes just being scared. They’re like, ‘What if I did something and I didn’t realize it?’ I’m like, ‘Deal with it.’

    Actually, from what little I know of the GotG (having read only the Thanos Imperative TPB), I think Fillion would make for a great Star-Lord.

    They really are trying to copy Pixar's braintrust system, aren't they?

    G: How much will you be involved with future Marvel movies?

    W: I’ll be very deeply involved. My contract is not simply to make The Avengers 2, but to consult on the entire Marvel world view. So that’s why I’m involved in TV series as well. I’m talking with Kevin [Feige] about all of the future movies that will be released. They’ll all be great movies and we’re cooperating so that they all tie into The Avengers 2.

    G: So they’ll all be unified them.

    W: Yes. But since they should all have their own unique franchise identities, they can’t all be the same. So we’re continually careful to not have them fall into the same pattern, and we definitely have to meet expectations. Naturally they all have to have ties back to Avengers. It’s very fun creating an integrated world, but at the same time they are each unique. When they’re all together they’ll definitely be exciting.

    The Avenger's Facebook page says the movie is coming back to about 1,700 theaters this next week. The page said to stay through the credits. Some are theorizing there could be an Iron Man 3 tease instead of shawarma, but I'm thinking it's just shawarma.

    Heimdall's role is much bigger in Thor 2, apparently. Woo hoo!

    If you're referring to Morris' post, those are old set pics from The Avengers.

    Iron Man 3 is almost done shooting, and Thor 2 shoot just started.

    I've seen this rumor in a few places today:

    Dr. Strange will be one of the new additions to the Marvel Movie universe, and is expected to have an appearance in Thor: The Dark World.

    The names floated around for this role: Viggo Mortensen and Joel Edgerton.

    I thought this was a pretty fantastic setup. Didn't know where to post it, but I kinda want to copy it.

    Amazon is the beeeest.

    To apologize for the delayed box set, anyone who pre-ordered before the announcement will get a free copy of The Avengers in DVD/Bluray. If you pre-ordered, you should get a code to redeem it in your email. I just claimed mine.

    That's fucking customer service.

    There's a ton of new set pics released today. I've included one here that gets me really excited. It just looks like they nailed some of the costume design...

    Thanos will be the villain in The Avengers 2 and Guardians of the Galaxy though possibly not the main one in the latter.
