The Avengers Possibility of Marvel fast tracking Avengers 2???

[kieron39]

With the high positive response the film is getting, getting better reviews than any of their previous movies combined, (which are all still quite favourable)and tracking to have a huge opening in the US, and already breaking records over seas, do you guys think they will speed it up more now, instead of waiting until 2015 (assuming, as CA 2 comes out in 2014) which isn't that long a wait, but nothing is confirmed.

I do remember reading however that some one asked Fiege if they are going to try Hulk solo again and he said "no, not for now", do you think they might change their mind now, because they've gotten the most positive response for Hulk this time around, and i'm sure his scene stealing is going to contribute massively to bringing in the bucks.

thoughts......

I don't want it fast tracked. Joss is going to want to do something of his own next now that people will fund his stuff. Got to keep Joss happy. 2015 at the earliest

I don't think they will fast track it since it would really make for a rush to get a script. Plus, they already have a couple, maybe 3, Marvel movies coming out in 2014 so pushing it to 2015 is right to space them out a bit.

3 years won't be so bad. As long as they don't make it 4 like with Star Trek.

Just saying if they want to do Thor, Cap, and Iron Man sequels, fast tracking this to 2014 might not be the best idea.

Marvel already has 2013 & 2014 schedules lined up, so 2015 is the earliest they can do. I think a 3 year wait is just right, but if Whedon can't get it ready in 2015, then by all means give him time to do it right because they cannot get anybody else to direct TA2 except for Whedon.

I still want to see other solo projects (Doctor Strange, Ant-Man, another Hulk, Nick Fury, etc) before another Avengers, plus they have Iron Man 3, Thor 2 and Captain America 2. I don't see it for another few years.

 

[kieron39]

yea, 2015, is not that long a wait, its quite standard when you look at the time gaps between big movie franchises, aside from TDKR, which is 4 years now i think, but still ok.

but any one think they might change their mind on hulk? i can't see him working on TV in this day and age, (not on a TV budget anyway) but i do think Hulk works better with a other big names around him.

 

[Captain Marvel]

I think it was mentioned that Avengers 2 would be 2015 and Avengers 3 would be 2017. That sounds fine to me.

I hope they can justify Tony Stark still flying around in his 50's by then. lol, it wouldn't be Avengers without THE iron man

 

[MarvelKnight]

No reason to fast track anything, imo. Now that everyone has been introduced and they are coming together for this great cinematic event, they can savor it and concentrate on the individual stuff. Plus, it's The Avengers.. Their coming together should be something special and I am more than ready to wait and let Marvel set us up properly for another threat worthy of the Avengers coming together again for a second time.

Speaking of age, did they ever mention an age for stark in the mcu anyway? Even though he is in a suit of iron, I'm sure he(RDJ) is in relatively good shape and could last as far as making movies through Avengers3. plus, that is the beauty of hollywood make-up and hair dye. I think it will be fine. I hope he re-ups with Marvel soon.

As long as he stays in shape it should be fine. People bought Liam Neeson being able to take down thugs secret agent style in Taken just fine, and he was in his mid 50's then. Iron Man has the added benefit of not relying only on physical prowess. His suit does most of the heavy lifting for him. And in the film, any slowing down he has due to age could be offset by advancements in his tech.

Three years is nothing. Especially not on a massive undertaking as this was. That's the same amount of time between BB & TDK, and ST1 & ST2. As a writer and having seen all the work that goes into these movies - that's actually just giving them the right amount of time to make it as good as it can be. That's why I love three year gaps over just 2. Got more time for the creative juices to flow.

Na, i don't think his age was ever stated, but just determined, from the age difference between his dad and cap, and just generally how he looks older than the others and also i think the significant events have happened in real time, because i remember some one mentioning the events in Thor happened 'last year' so by 2017, it would be '5 years later'

Tom Cruise is in his late 40's as well, and I'm sure he'll still be making Mission: Impossible movies well into his 50's. And how about actors already in their 50's like Stallone and Schwarznegger still making action movies, as well as Liam Neeson and Bruce Willis? I don't see why RDJ should stop after he hits the big 5-0h.

3 year gap is fine, but not 4 year gap (like Abrams' Star Trek and Star Trek 2). However, if Whedon can't do it in 2015 then by all means give him another year to direct the sequel.

Oh, lol, yeah - read it wrong. But, still it was around the same time as Batman Begins to The Dark Knight. Or I might just be tired and everything's rushing together lol. But, some scripts take a long time to nail down. I've even heard of one script taking a professional writer four years to get right. Some projects take a short time, but others take longer. So it doesn't really bother me - just shows that they're putting a lot of time into making it the best it can be. To me that's the main thing between 'alright' sequels and 'amazing' sequels, the amount of time devoted to it.

In a interview for Trek, the writers stated and - I fully agree - that the first film was so well received that it would be hard to top it and that the time in-between was them working on a script that could top it. On a fan level, yeah - that sucks. But on a creative level - it makes sense.

Just think about this guys we've got Iron Man, Thor, and Cap sequels all lined up for the next two years. I think we can hold it.

I mean . . . we waited 6 years just for this thing from when we first had an idea that they could make this happen .

 

[kieron39]

i just hope now that Disney have them in the bad they don't rush it to make some of that money they been loosing ( * John carter*, although i hear its a good movie, that audience is nothing in comparison to the fan boy community)

It was more like 4 years, because they weren't even think avengers at the end of iron man, i think they did it as a Easter egg/ just for fans, but obviously became a probably around IM2, which is why that movie failed a lil bit, (critically) because it was to focused on un related stuff, but yeah 4 years is a good hold, with some good movies in between, but i think it will be hard for the individual sequels to top Avengers now that it's out there.

 

[Rock Sexton]

People need to slow down. Avengers is just now hitting theaters (internationally).

Patience guys.

 

[Donstuie]

I think they'll stick to their plan, especially if they're planning to bring more characters into the fold. They always knew it would be successful, regardless of reviews, which are a nice bonus for them.

They would also know that what has made this film successful is the build-up, and the anticipation. The fact that we had to wait 4 years for it to happen, along with the success of the individual films. They'd be mad to rush into another while knowing this. Let them all go back to their own journeys, and let the anticipation build once again.

 

[Ultimatehero]

Plus, the other films may become even more of a success now. This could very well carry over into solo films. I'm seeing "Avengers' spark interest in what came before.

I hope TA will demand an even higher quality from MCU movies as well; I don't want a letdown after this movie.

Actually when this whole endeavor started, The Avengers was one of the projects Marvel Studios talked about doing and leading up to. That was around 2006-ish.
