The Avengers Guardians of the Galaxy (2014): Will tie-in with The Avengers

[DarknessOfDeath]

Well as as long as I see Maria Hill in Thor 2, Cap 2 and IM 3 ... I'd be so happy

 

[Raiden]

Even at his base power level Thanos is powerful enough to go toe-to-toe with Thor and Thing at once.

Yeah, Thanos is a A class villain who becomes god-like after he acquires the Infinity Gauntlet. Since it's pretty much a foregone conclusion that Thanos will get IG somehow (from Odin's treasure room), I think it would be best if they show that at the end of TA2, Thanos finally stolen the Cube as well as IG, and sets up the huge battle in the third movie of the trilogy. By that time, Avengers would get several more new members, such as Ant-Man & Wasp, BP (hopefully), and maybe even Vision or Ms. Marvel. With GOTG perhaps making a nice cameo to the fight, I think TA3 would've become the ROTJ/ROTK equivalent of the superhero movies.

No trilogy. Please. Avengers (and the MCU) is not a linear story with a beginning, middle and end....it's open-ended.
Move on to new realms, new villains and new heroes in Phase III....let Phase II be Thanos' section.

As someone who's just about clueless about the majority of the Guardians of the Galaxy, color me excited.

...And definitely no reboot after phase 3!

Just move on with the storylines with different characters, differentn directions..

 

[Majik1387]

I don't see Marvel rebooting anything in the future, at most they may just recast roles if future circumstances call for it.

 

[JB-the-Hunter]

I hope Marvel can find it in their hearts to avoid recasting at all costs. There's this thing called cgi if age becomes a factor. If it ends up being because the actors are done with playing their characters, that's the only acceptable reason imo.

 

[Joeyjojo72]

Sorry if this was brought up already, but how was Rocket Raccoon's appearance on Avengers EMH handled? Was he played straight, or was he comic relief?

Both

 

[Joeyjojo72]

Did it work well?

 

[TacomaTruck90]

can i just say...this... Avengers 2 in 2015? really? I have to wait like 3 freaking ass years for that movie?

LOL right there with you, but we had wait four years for Avengers 1 the pay out was worth it, however on regards to GOTG I'd like the movie to happen 2014 sounds good ,but I'd rather them be referenced in the avengers than be in it, if u have another team in there it kinda steals the thunder... I read the ign article interest I like theory of thanos letting Loki go threw his plan tjust go back to Asgard and get the infinity thing makes Loki could be in grander schemes which is sweet cause I like the character he's a different villain than we've seen

 

[Saitou Hajime]

Its not even RR that i'm most worried about. Its Groot. I mean a genius tree that 'absorbs' wood to survive. How do u fit these into the MCU?

Well the thing to understand is that most of the story is going to take place in the farthest reaches of the galaxy, where it's easier to accept absurd concepts like these existing.

Groot can fill the Chewbacca role. The harder sell IMO is Cosmo.

 

[spider-neil]

No Thanos in A3. As movies are going to used to build up to Thanos in A2 then the movies should be used to build up Utron in A3. The sad thing is A3 will most likely hit in 2018. Think about that for a second, 2018, how old will Downey, SLJ, etc be?

 

[MarvelKnight]

I don't see Marvel rebooting anything in the future, at most they may just recast roles if future circumstances call for it.

Early signs are they are definitely in the mind-frame you are as far as recasting over rebooting. I think that is the way to go in the long term as well.

 

[jaqua99]

They should put the original lineup instead.

Agreed. I want to see Warlock

Pity about Black Panther.
This could be fun too though .

I am SO happy its not black panther.

I will be surprised if a single Avenger appears in the movie (well, maybe Thor if it ties into Thanos stealing the IG from Asgard).

Can't we expect Thanos to appear in Thor? After all, doesn't Loki have to face his punishment that Thanos will probably seek out to give as well?

I agree Avengers shouldn't appear in GotG but I definately think Thanos should be the Main villian in GotG and then get a major power up at the end of the movie.

Look at Loki in Thor and Loki in Avengers. Loki is much more of a threat in Avengers and that is because he has the Cosmic Cube and power staff. That should be the same for Thanos, an 'B' class villian who gets a major power boost and becomes an 'A' class villian.

I phased it wrong, I don't mean 'b' class villian such as Rhino, etc I mean power level. So 'b' class is a match for one, maybe superheroes but 'a' class is match for pretty much the entire Avengers, FF or X-Men. So Thanos is a mid level threat for GotG but by the end of the movie he is a threat for the entire Avengers.

The thing is though, even without power ups, Thanos is most likely a threat in himself for the avengers. Physically, he can go toe to toe with Hulk. And thats just physically. He should be able to take them. Him getting his powerups, well, if you wanna call it that, should just get him insane godlike power.

No trilogy. Please. Avengers (and the MCU) is not a linear story with a beginning, middle and end....it's open-ended.
Move on to new realms, new villains and new heroes in Phase III....let Phase II be Thanos' section.

ugh this again. I will be so disappointing if it isn't an end. I have said it before and I will say it again, I am NOT okay with a recast of Ironman, Cap, and Thor, etc, just for the sake of continuity.

disgusting

 

[jaqua99]

I hope they don't. I am so used to seeing Evan's as Cap, Hemsworth as Thor, RDJ as Stark, that it will be just weird to see different actors to play them for the sake of having an ongoing franchise. It will be difficult for me to watch.

Frankly I would hate it. I don't want to see Hemsworth not playing thor, evans not playing cap, RDJ not playing stark...etc. I'd rather have it just be a series with these actors, that we can look back at. I can't stress how much I am against them recasting for continuing it. If I find out they do go that route, I will probably be heartbroken, and in all honesty, be torn about wanting to watch and get involved with the avengers in the MCU, because to me, it will just feel...wrong...

and I am still shocked that no one else feels this way.

not to bring this back up

 

[Splat]

All these roles will get recast eventually. Marvel Studios has and will invest a lot of time establishing a shared universe with these characters. I don't see them scrapping all that and starting over from square one when it comes time to recast Tony or Steve or whoever.

Better get used to the idea.

 

[darkslayer101]

The great thing is you close with the Guardian 'almost' beating Thanos and then Thanos pulls victory from the jaws of defeat as he gets his hands on the guantlet. You close with the guardians going to the Avengers for help. So you establish that Thanos is the baddest villian in the universe and a TRUE threat for the Avengers.

i can see how that will work...but to take down thanos the avengers as a team need more developing and this why i want some avengers to cameo in phase 2 movies
they better mention avengers while advertising GOTG

 

[darkslayer101]

I hope the tie-in with GOTG won't involve having both GOTG and Avengers appearing on screen and having a huge party or something, because I think having so many characters will overwhelm the audience (see X3) and ruin the goodwill they built with the amazing success of the first Avengers movie. The kind of tie-in I want is if GOTG crossed path with Thanos but couldn't stand him, and he'd make a small but important appearance in TA2, setting up a grand showtime in TA3. That would be the best case scenario imo.

by the time TA3 comes out everyone in the cast will get old especially RDJ

What would feel "wrong" would be to kill off the Avengers, not to mention some of the most popular and enduring heroes in the Marvel Universe in their own rights, after roughly a decade or so, thus denying future generations the opportunity to PARTICIPATE in an ongoing pop culture phenomenon instead of having to latch on to some previous generation's idea of what's cool.

Plus, it would undeniably, inevitably, and irrevocably flush Marvel once and for all down the bankruptcy toilet. Making an ongoing Avengers franchise makes Marvel not only the most profitable it's ever been, but also one of the most powerful and important movie studios on the planet. But *you* want them to close up shop after Avengers 3 just so you can keep the series under glass in your little museum to peruse at your leisure....?

Yeah...good luck.

 

[KangConquers]

Avengers should be event movies and the impact of an event movie would be lost if it came out every year. You'll have a Thor, Cap and IM movie to tide you over till then.

3 years is the perfect wait. Any longer and it loses steam, any sooner and it doesn't have enough time to gestate.

Exactly. There are at least 9-10 Avengers storylines that are ripe for a film. The Kree/ Skrull War, Avengers Defenders War, The Zodiac Cartel, The Korvac Saga, Knights of Wundagore, Under Seige, Infinity Gauntlet, Ultron Unlimited, The Kang Dynasty, Avengers Dissembled, Civil War; why stop the fun after 3 movies?

Like when Marvel does an event every year, the impact is total lost. I actually skipped the Fear Itself event. I'd bet money that back in the day Marvel Secret Wars was absolutely massive.

 

[Silver Surfer]

Much, much rather have Black Panther but hey, what are you gonna do?
