Iron Man 2 How would Thor work in IM2?

[phizzul]

Favreau also said he wanted to only start this series realistically, but later have it evolve into more fantasical stuff. That's why he saved the Mandarin for the sequel.

can anyone verify this one?
not that i don't believe you, i just don't remember reading this.

 

[bullets]

thor will make the other avengers seem weak .

 

[batdude]

The most we are going to get is a five minute cameo from either Donald Blake or Thor flying through the scene.

Some replies have me envisioning the hollywood scene of a group of schoolgirls hearing a loud noise outside, and screaming and freaking out in their underwear. Thanks for the laughs!

That some people are actually arguing that "Thor can't fit in Favreau's and Iron Man's world of reality" is incredible. In other words, you don't want an Avengers film then.

Iron Man, Hulk and Captain America are all unrealistic, but in the movie context we believe they exist, as they are all 'scientifically created', so to speak.

So there is a very VERY easy way to fit Thor in to their world;
Just like the audience, they can't believe what they're seeing and hearing either!

Done.

And I'm sure that his appearance would be no more

Spoiler

than Fury's appearance in IM.

Dude the way Faverau did Iron Man was very plausible. You have F22 Raptors in this picture. Afganistan was one of the main focus of this picture. Faverau has put IronMan on par with the Dark Knight triology.

Thor universe is going to mess this thing up. Asgard Norse Mythology is not going to work with Faverau has started out with. Now don't get me wrong Thor can carry a movie on his own. It would probably end up like the highlander movie.

A good example of messing up a character in a movie was the Silver Surfer.
The comic book adaption to movie didn't work.

I would just like to see the hammer mentioned in regards to the fact there are magic elements around...

the content would be with regards to the madarin's rings.....

heck, blake could simply be a surgeon that saves stark's life after a near fatal iron man accident.

Tony Stark: So when will I see you next?

(Fury begins taking off in Helicopter)

Nick Fury: After me and my men return from Asgard...

Tony Stark: Asgard?

Nick Fury: Nevermind, I'll tell you about it later...

 

[GNR]

After credits scene.

Everyone take a deep breath...it will be fine. I think all of the people that worked on IM have earned a little faith. It will no doubt be a meeting between Tony and Blake, or a simple debriefing from Fury about Thor (to which Tony rolls his eyes at).

It is to setup the Thor and Avenger Movie, a wham-bam-thank-you-mam scene.

Ideally it would be a meeting between Tony and Blake, maybe to discuss the mini transistor technology that Tony uses. And, during their discussions Blake mentions a trip to Norway.

Nothing fancy, just a simple nod to the orgins of Thor.

The producer interviewed on CNBC also said that Hulk would make an appearance in IM2... I think he is just throwing a bunch of possibilities at us... they are not going to give Thor a large role when he's got a movie out a month later. Its probably an after credit scene.

So we have differing opinions, no hassle - But it then sounds like you don't want an avengers film with both Thor and Iron Man?

 

[CorpusBlack]

Thor would fit in just about as well as Fin Fang Foom.

 

[Venomfan]

i figure it will just have to do with Mandarins magic, maybe mentioning there is other stuff out there with magic too

 

[CorpusBlack]

I guarantee they make Thor relatively weak compared to the current comics version.

 

[RockSP]

Like I said: A mention is fine. Just to link the Universe together a bit, as you said, touch upon it.

Having Thor as supporting cast, or worse: fighting in IM2? That's genre-bending a bit too early.

And it also brings up the age old question: "Hey wait, where was Hulk while all this was going on?"

I agree with the "mention only" part but I don't see what the Hulk has to do with anything...

 

[RaZaTrOn]

If they are going to introduce Thor within the running time by Nick Fury, that means they'd have to re-introduce Nick Fury to the general public because not everyone will have stopped to see him at the end. I mean if some Sam Jackson comes on talking about whatever then people will be like WTF who's this dude?

I think it would be good to see Iron Man working for S.H.I.E.L.D (this would cement S.H.I.E.D into the mainstream), have him do a mission for S.H.I.E.L.D. against AIM or Crimson Dynamo etc..

Then near the end have Fury mention this Thor character maybe not a direct appearance but have Fury show footage or something, i don't know.

I think we shouldn't see the new Marvel Studio films as 'Iron man' or 'The Incredible Hulk', individual films but more like Marvel Universe films. If you get me.

No, people aren't saying that at all. We all want an Avengers movie, the thing is that and an Avengers movie will likely have a different tone going on than an Iron Man movie, regardless of the same creators/actors.

Here's an example. Batman: The Animated Series, and Justice League Unlimited. Now, certain characters (i.e. Zatanna) could both be in BTAS and JLU. But, other characters (i.e. Wonder Woman, Superman, and Green Lantern) would be harder to translate and maintain the same feeling and level of believability presented within the series. Both series by the same people, with the same actors, both have different tones and levels of realism. How hard is that to understand?

It's funny now because more people on this Thread are freaking out telling people to remain calm. And its pretty understandable that someone would freak out when all they say about a movie is that it will be used to introduce another character from their own separate comic book.

Also, I'm sure that if they were to do it, it wouldn't detract from the plot and would fit into Iron Man's established universe as cohesively has possible. So now I propose that everyone stop freaking out at the people who were originally freaking out because they were unsure of the future of their new favorite movie franchise.

It's really simple to me.

In the same way we had life before the atom was split, where it was preposterous to think the atom could be split by man. Then we did it and we changed our mindsets to accept that we could split the atom.

In the IM movie they (and the audience living the experience) have life before they could even imagine magic/Thor exists. Then Thor appears and they change their mindset to accept (or not, they could always disbelieve his claims) that he exists.

Like, "oh, that could never happen (BOOM), oh hell, look it happened".
Done.

And my idea/hope of how they bring Thor into the IM2 movie does not involve ANY interaction between the two.

Sorry about the long-windedness, I'm battling to put my thoughts into words...

I loved iron man and was really proud that not only that it did so well but that they finally got it right unfortunatly that was tainted on monday when marvel released their new plans for the films and I'm sorry but the plans are just god awful.

Thor in IM 2 is a bad idea and so is the cap movie..."The First Avenger" ?!? wtf?!?

 

[Ash Talon]

Post-credits extra scene.

Not too hard to figure out. It doesn't necessarily have to match the tone of IM, since it's just one little teaser scene.

Think of it as a teaser trailer added to the end of IM2. Thor's movie is only a couple of months behind IM2, so this is a cool set-up. Cap can then be mentioned at the end of Thor's movie. Let one movie promote the next.

There's nothing wrong with this at all. Finally, we'll be able to get a shared-universe in comic book films, and people are complaining?

Regarding Cap being the first Avenger....technically he might be. If in the movie universe, SHIELD (ie US govt) is responsible for forming the Avengers and Cap was created by the US govt 60+ years ago, then Cap could technically be called the first Avenger.

I would love an Avengers movie I just don't want it to end up Cheezy.

Very easily. Ultimate Thor that is. Have it debateable that he is either a nutcase or the real deal with pretty much everone leaning toward the former.

Have him LOOK like Ultimate Thor, that hammer, the tech, the belt and he'd fit easily within the grounded reality of the Iron Man movies.

Not that Marvel doesn't know what they are doing... but that 2011 slate looks awful... Captain America to set up Avengers??? No one is going to see Captain America overseas... its a bad move IMO. And this Thor crossover better be after the credit but there is no way they will botch something like that up as long as Favreau is running the show. To me this Captain AMerica movie is just icing on the cake in that I can only hope its a stand alone film by itself that doesn't directly lead into his Avengers... I mean everyone can assume Cap was trapped in ice sometime in the 1940's but they don't necessarily have to see that on film to understand what is going on in Avengers (just requires a simple explanation). I still think there is a good chance they push Avengers back a year. Another Hulk sequel would probably be better.

 

[ShadowBoxing]

Well, ummm, he does. If anything his imprisonment in the ice, and then revival is the perfect set up for an Avengers film.

I agree with the "mention only" part but I don't see what the Hulk has to do with anything...

When you have a lot of heroes in the same universe and something big happens, you have to come up with reasons why the other heroes don't help. Why didn't the Fantastic Four help Spider-Man when Sandman and Venom were holding MJ hostage in SM3? They live in the same city, it was all over the news.

I just used the Hulk as an example of someone who could be helpful in many situations and probably needs an explanation for his absence, such as being on the run in South America. There's a reason why heroes and most hero stories function in a vacuum, in an absence of other heroes, and doing more than a mention creates a oft-commented on problem.

Does that make sense?

am i the only one that thinks that tyler mayne (sabertooth) would be a pretty badass thor?
