Changing the roster for Avengers 2?

[MovieMaster]

If you want to keep the number of heroes in an Infinity Gauntlet movie down, or explain the absence of Spider-Man, FF etc, say that they disappeared when Thanos wipes out half the ****ing universe. The latter part is for what you tell your friends when they bug you about it.

Comic-Book Guy as devil's advocate: Yeah, but how come Thanos didn't just wipe out ALL of Earth, huh? How did he just pick and choose which heroes he wanted to kill, and leave the rest alone?

[MovieMaster]

Subconsciously, Thanos wants a challenge. That was displayed in Infinity Gauntlet when he loses the Gauntlet because he left his body, leaving it for the taking. Thanos wants these heroes to put up a fight, and then realise that they really can do nothing to stop him.

"Subconscious" motivations dont really work cinematically. No "thought bubbles".

[MovieMaster]

Thanos himself doesn't realise he's done it. Adam Warlock tells him.

i just hope they dont bring in too many team members, i think no more than two should be enough. to many can take away from the story which should be what drives the movie.

Right on, I agree 100%

[Superhero 101]

Well maybe they can add daredevil

Not until he gets a proper MCU reboot to introduce him to his new home. Preferably on TV, rather than in the movies.

TA2 should add Ant-Man and Wasp, for sure. Ideally, it should be Hank Pym in his GIANT-Man guise, though, and Wasp should handle the miniature action/missions.

Then, there should be *at least* cameos from Falcon and War Machine. If Scott Lang is playing Ant-Man, as seems to be the case, he can have a cameo, too. Even with ALL those put together, you've got an Avengers team of only eleven characters. Eleven....as in: "Ocean's Eleven." One short of "The Dirty Dozen," and two short of "Ocean's Thirteen."

It'll all work out just fine. Relax.

I'd settle for a scene where Hugh Jackman has the line "Do you want to lose the other eye?"

Subconscious

No thought bubbles. It works completely fine. As a psych major, I totally get it, you can't think subconsciously. So it works.

Yup

[psylockolussus]

I'm hoping they add Ant-Man in the roster.

The main characters of Guardians of the Galaxy will be in this movie but I hope they aren't gonna be members of the Avengers. Its just going to be a team-up for GOTG and The Avengers.

[cleverusername8]

Well they should keep in Iron Man and Hulk because let's face it, those two are the money makers for the GA. Then Cap and Thor were a big part of things especially for the connectedness of the MCU so it'd be wise to keep them on board as well.

However Black Widow and Hawkeye either need to step up their games or fade to background characters. It won't be hard for ScarJo to play eye candy even if she isn't physically on the team. And I know Jeremy Renner wants a bigger role but I doubt most people will really miss him if he isn't front and center in the action for Avengers 2.

So what I'm trying to say is keep the big 4 but make Widow and Hawkeye just SHIELD agents who work in the background with Fury and Hill.

It's probably safe to say Falcon will be on the the team due to his involvement in Cap 2 so we have him. Ant Man is a maybe and Wasp is a weaker maybe. Then a good possibility for Guardians making an appearance as well so I think that'll flesh out the team plenty.

If they choose to go on to make Avengers 3, there'll be more wiggle room for "rotation", a bigger roster and things like that.

[terry78]

Hawkeye needs more screen time so he ain't going nowhere. One of the only ones on the team with no superhuman abilities, you need to see how he deals with that.

[Chewy]

Hawkeye and Black Widow are as much a part of the team as the big four

[BatsDC]

Add Ant-Man and Wasp for A2, if they save Thanos for A3 bring together a slightly bigger group (Ms. Marvel, Black Panther etc.)

[Kiltman]

I don't think they will majorly shake things up. But I'd like to see a reimagining of Planet Hulk as the next Hulk movie. And for that to happen I could see Thanos land some punches on him then use the infinity gauntlet to send him across the galaxy when the hulk stupidly tries to "Loki Smash" him in their first encounter. That would be a big moment for the rest of the team to really understand what they are going up against compared to Loki.

So that would kinda be a shake-up of the roster, because hulk wouldn't be in half the film. Until the end that is..where the mid-credit scene shows where he is. Then at some point he could be found by the GOTG. I know some would hate this idea, but anyway to not have the Hulk get mad and destroy a city while being hunted down by Ross in the next movie is the way to go to me. Plus they can use Beta Ray-Bill (like they did in the animated film and because they dont own silver surfer) and maybe some other alien characters.

People need to understand that some of these heroes do *not* play well with others, and don't fit in with teams like Avengers or X-Men at all.

I agree on Hulk and Punisher... but do you really think that Wolverine doesn't fit in with the X-Men?

[Baneis8feettall]

GA think Hulk was the best thing in Avengers (with Loki) so he must be in it.

[MrAnonymous]

[I'm Venom]

I'd love Spider-Man to join, unfortunately that's never going to happen. It would be cool to have Nick Fury show up after the credits of the next movie, with Mark Ruffalo reprising his role as Banner. No Hulk, though.

Most people who think are talking about his character though (which was great), they just like to see him smash stuff.

[jaqua99]

Thor
Captain America
Hulk
Ironman
The movie will once again center around them. All other new avengers will be supporting characters, in the sense that Fury was or black widow was
Given that, the next characters are are going to get
Ant-man
Vision
I am not feeling wasp becoming an avenger. Not sure why, just don't see it happening.

Avengers 3
We will have the addition of Ms Marvel, if the Kree are introduced, and Black Panther

That is my analysis

Avengers 2:
Captain America
Thor
Hulk
Ironman
Ant-man


Avengers 3:
Captain America
Thor
Hulk
Ironman
Ant-man
Vision (he may become one after defeating Ultron)
Black Panther
Ms Marvel

[Chewy]

Iron Man
Captain America
Hulk
Thor
Black Widow
Hawkeye

+ Falcon?
+ Ant-Man? (only if Ultron is the baddie)
+ Ms Captain Marvel? (only if they introduce her somewhere else first)

[marvelrobbins]

Anyone thinking Joss whedon won't bring back Black Widow while Scarlett Johansson still has contact for more marvel films don't understand him and his work.Even when he does projects focusing on men butt kicking women have tendacy to show up.

As for new characters joining the lineup the question Is will they Introduce any In sequel.
If Not the only poential new ones are The Falcon and Ant-Man,assuming Ant-Man Is out
before the Avengers sequel.
