Joss HAS to come back for A3. Wouldn't be right with someone else

 

[doink]

I take that quote as Gunn being utterly offended that he was asked such a stupid question. Of course he writes it up like Gunn gave something away but as was said it's probably just for traffic.

Yeah, that's probably what really went on...especially since Devin was the only one asking that question!

Even if Gunn posted on his facebook going "geez guys I'm not directing A3 stop with these BS rumors already! (ノಠ益&#3232ノ彡┻━┻ • ", I bet Devin will find some way to spin it. He's probably already working on an article about how "Hulk/GoTG crossover is still totes gonna happen guys" even though Gunn said that rumor was BS and he doesn't want a Hulk/GoTG crossover.

I'll wait and see how this develops but it wouldn't seem that strange to me if Faraci was right. These films swallow up a large amount of time and it's unknown how much control Whedon really has on their content. Add that to all the stress that accompanies production and I could definitely see Whedon graciously bowing out.

Gunn explicitly says that one of the few inputs Joss had on GotG was in the casting of Thanos, because Thanos is "going to appear in the stuff [Gunn] does as well as the stuff Joss does".

Doesn't get more clear-cut than that.

If Joss had the intention of leaving Avengers 3 in someone else's hands (especially Gunn's), he wouldn't have bothered involving himself in the casting process for Thanos.

You got Josh Brolin for Thanos. Was it tough to get him? Talk a little bit about landing him for the role and why you chose him.
FEIGE: We knew he was going to be in this movie. We wanted somebody to be more than just the voice. Josh did the performance as well. We were looking at a wish list of, “Wouldn’t it be great if names,” and his name was on it. And you look at his face and the performances he gives, he could be Thanos without any effects. He has that kind of face and that kind of gravitas to it.
We reached out to him and it was one of those things that does not happen all the time but when it does it’s very nice, where he was totally intrigued. He was a fan of what we did, he met with Jeremy Latcham in a hotel in London and learned about the characters a little bit. I spoke to him on the phone a few times. We ran it by James who loved it, ran it by Joss who loved it because Thanos is in this universe because of Avengers. Then we shot him and recorded for it.
When you signed Josh for Thanos, I’m assuming he had to sign a multi-picture deal.
FEIGE: Usually people do, yes.
Right now, we did not see the Easter egg that’s gonna be at the end of the credits of Guardians. Was it because the scene is not done yet or is it because you don’t want people to know until opening day?
FEIGE: It is done and it always varies. There’s no rhyme or reason, necessarily. Sometimes there are things that I think are just more fun to be discovered by the people. The normal people, not fancy pants like yourself who see it early and complain is not in IMAX—but to have a surprise on opening night. And it does vary, sometimes it’s because it’s not ready, sometimes we include it and sometimes we hold it back. We just decided it’d be fun to hold this one back.
You guys announced five untitled movies through 2019. Do you know what the movies are and it’s just a question of when you announce them?
FEIGE: Yes.
Will fans at Comic-Con in a few days, Saturday night at 6 o’clock, hear about some of the Phase 3 movies that have not yet been announced?
FEIGE: Maybe. That’s me being less sly than you think or less coy than you think.
Sure, so it’s a question of, if contracts get signed before Saturday. I understand, Sir. Jumping into status of Thor 3 and Captain America 3.
FEIGE: Both in development, both in the works. Cap has already been announced, so that’s up first. That’s in a further stage. Thor is being outlined right now, so both in the works.
Have you cast Doctor Strange?
FEIGE: No.
So, no announcement at Comic-Con in terms of who’s playing him? Or that’s one of those contracts?
FEIGE: [nods]
I understand. On Twitter, a lot of people said, now that we’ve gone to Asgard for Thor and outer space for Guardians, can we go to Africa for Black Panther or can we get a female-led superhero movie in the near future?
FEIGE: I think we could, it’s a matter of when. It’s a matter of what are those dates, it’s a matter of juggling multiple, successful franchises. Is there a downside to managing multiple, successful franchises? I believe we’re figuring out that there is, which is having the time to do them all. So, at what point do we hold back a franchise or have three or four years between parts of a franchise in order to introduce new ones? Or do you introduce new ones within the body of the films? We’re looking at all those things right now.

Umm since Thanos is in GOTG why WOULDN'T he be involved in casting...especially if there is going to be a GOTG 2 potentially?

 

[John Locke]

But isn't Thanos in Avengers 2?

 

[ctsketch]

Most likely not in Avengers 2

 

[DJ_KiDDvIcIOUs]

Ultron is the big bad of A:AoU, Thanos will most likely feature in one of the stingers to head into A3

 

[Iceman]

Nice interview

They've got more good things going on than they know what to do with!

 

[Minxie]

It sounds like they might have picked an actor for Strange but they haven't finalized contract negotiations yet? Lol I wish we knew what specific question Feige was "nodding" in response to.

 

[TheVision]

Cant wait for GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY!

Really hope the Hulk in space rumors are fake. I kind of want a lot of the rumors that get spread around online to be exposed as fakes.

Why is that so absurdly badass?

 

[Keyser Soze]

The weird thing is that I can kinda see James Spader in Ultron's expression there.

 

[TeeKay]

I want to see Ultron do this to Iron Man...



The last time someone did this much damage to Tony, was Killian in IM3.

 

[Crimson King]

Really hope the Hulk in space rumors are fake. I kind of want a lot of the rumors that get spread around online to be exposed as fakes.

Gunn already called those rumors false--at least the part saying Hulk was going to team up with the Guardians. I'm sure that whole report was bunk.

Give me some of those brownies

Give me some of those brownies

I see James Spader in your face too!!!!!!!!
