To Infinity and Beyond: The Thanos Thread

[Chewy]

I still feel like that's too many. Maybe the Avengers we have now, 1 new one, and 2 or 3 of the Guardians. If you have Groot turn into a sapling at the end of this one (or maybe a sequel) and kill off/dimensional trap one of Star-Lord or Drax, that'd be perfect.

IMO a more reasonable/realistic schedule would be something like:

2013: Iron Man 3, Thor TDW
2014: Cap TWS, GotGalaxy, Ant-Man
2015: The Avengers 2
2016: Thor 3 (Surtur Saga please), Dr Strange
2017: Black Panther, GotGalaxy: Annihilation
2018: The Avengers: Infinity

with Ant-Man, Black Panther and Dr Strange maybe not showing up outside their movies just yet, but still being set in the MCU

I dunno; I seriously see at least one more movie in 2015 with TA2; or even two (or three) solo films in 2015, with TA2 getting pushed back to 2016. And I'd be willing to bet that Dr. Strange winds up being one of those movies pre-TA2 that hasn't been announced yet....and then we see Dr. Strange join the battle against Thanos. Because the Avengers (and the MCU in general) are seriously, SERIOUSLY going to need Dr. Strange for that battle; even if Adam Warlock shows up.

Eh it's not like the addition of Dr Strange will actually make a difference either way against an all-powerful being. They aren't going to beat him with brute strength.

And Marvel isn't going to push back an Avengers sequel to make 2 or 3 movies that, combined, won't net them as much cash as said sequel will all on its lonesome

Exactly...if you dangle the carrot too long, people will start to lose interest.

All of these other films are setup for Avengers 2; As fanboys, we might see them as more, but the fact is in terms of dollar signs, this whole Cinematic Universe exists to serve the Avengers films. They're not going to delay their top ticket just to pedal a couple of b-listers.

3 years is a perfect amount of time to work on Avengers 2.

Well I feel like having Drax would be a necessity. 5 or 6 Avengers, plus drax, and Warlock. I would like that. I think Warlock NEEDS to happen. Given his relationship with the titan, it would be SO PERFECT.

I want a Surtur saga as well, Ragnarok. I had a dream last night about Surtur haha.

and yes, not sure of a title for Avengers 2, maybe just Avengers 2.

But I think Avengers 3 would look great as, Avengers: The Infinity Gauntlet

I can see that too, more so movies being with Avengers 2. Sam, are you still of the idea that Avengers 2 and 3 going to be Thanos stories?

You gotta go big for Thanos... like this guy big -

Seriously, he'd kick some ice as Thanos.

[Chewy]

lol your avy is so dark, it's impossible to tell what it is

[cherokeesam]

I like how Thanos' hand is bare in the clip.
...Can't imagine why.

[Captain Marvel]

...cause apparently there's only one glove in the entire universe that's his size.

Logic!

I SPENT AN HOUR TRYING TO MAKE THAT. lol it was the official video too

[Chewy]

Haha I'm not saying it's your work. Just that the video was too dark to make a gif where anything is visible

You're still in denial.

Well it was the official video, and weird. Because I have looked at it on 3 different computers, and I could see it fine on all of them

anyone else, can you make out my avy?

[Chewy]

I just realized who should play Thanos:

No Cap 3?

Right, forgot about Cap 3. Then replace either Strange or Panther with Cap 3, but the gist of it remains the same

[ares834]

TBH, I feel that the Thanos plot-line will play out by Avengers 2. Dragging it out for a decade and dozens of movies just doesn't seem like a smart move. Avengers 3's villain will probably be someone else like Kang, Ultron, or (if Marvel gets him) Galactus.
