The Avengers Who will lead the Avengers?

[marcvader]

So who will lead the Avengers, not should but who will, in the upcoming movie? Will it be Fury, Iron Man, Captain America, or by committee?

 

[hugekent]

Iron Man, and I have no problem with that. I think as the film goes on Captain America will slowly assert his authority and be seen on the same level as IM by the end. How Evans portrays this I'm not sure, but I have faith.

 

[Iron_Stark]

Avengers is gonna be great except for one thing,how much screen time will all the heroes get considering there is Iron man who will dominate every scene he is in and what about war machine what part will he exactly play i mean come on.

I doubt War Machine will have any part in it.

 

[MadVillainy]

Cap should. IM probably will

 

[Moridin]

I can see Stark leading initially and then over the course of the film Cap proves to be much more able (after much conflict with Stark and maybe Thor who both see themselves as leaders) and he leads The Avengers into the final battle of the film.

Or neither of them lead initially (because Stark as of the end of IM2 isn't responsible enough & Caps just been thawed out after 70 odd years so his physical & mental state is initially unknown & under observation while trying to prove himself) and having to defer to a seasoned agent, maybe Black Widow. But of course that becomes a mess with no one wanting to listen to her, each thinking it should be them.
Cap eventually proves himself more than able and leads the team in the final battle.

Or Stark succums to alcoholism, Cap's penis brakes off when he's being thawed out leaving him feeling emasculated and incredibly insecure, Thor is humiliated because he looses Mjolnir on an 8 day bender with Stark & Volstagg in Vegas. None are capable of leading the team under the circumstances (& accidental circumcisions). All this makes Hulk angrier than he's ever been before, so angry he needs to sit down but accidentally sits on Black Widow, killing her instantly. This sends Hulk into an angry depression & he grows his hair out & starts listening to Emo music.
Loki dies of laughter.

Cap.

Didn't you guys remember Fury don't want Stark anywhere near the Avengers at the end of IM 2? IM will assist the Avengers, but he won't be permanent in the team. Similarly I don't think RDJ will be in Avengers 2.

I think that will happen!,I see Furry doing in for the first mission and then Stark for the rest of the film until the last battle with Capt being it with him officially known as it in the ending.

 

[misjuevos]

the way they iron man 2 ended i would say cap will lead. just seemed like fury from his reports knows iron man isn't a leader. he will see and have a very capable soldier in cap

 

[terry78]

Give it to Hulk, just to shake things up.

 

[Tacit Ronin]

kevin Feidge will lead.

 

[Ultimate Doom]

cap - no contest

 

[Spider-Vader]

I think it will start out with Iron Man, but by the end of the movie he will hand the role to Cap.

 

[DCnightwing23]

Well we know how Downey portrays Stark, and he's such a cocky smart ass in the first two films that i would have to think IM leads the team.

To be honest it all depends on how well Evans portrays Cap and how well he does opposite a amazing actor like Hugo Weaving as to whether or not he can lead the team in the avengers movie. Especially when Evans is the youngest guy amongst Downey, Jackson, Hemsworth, Renner, etc. So to me it all depends on how he does in his solo film before anyone can say for sure.

And as for Fury, i believe he'll be the one to give them the mission (obviously) and to keep in touch with them via communicators. Mainly the stuff in the background is what i think Fury will be up to, maybe an action scene or two but nothing major just yet. As a matter a fact i believe he'll get more action in the Captain America film as he'll be younger and its set in the war.

I would really say that Cap should lead. Stark was an effective one-man show in Iron Man (haven't seen 2 yet), but I can't see him being tactically superior to Cap. I agree there will definitely be friction (between ALL of them), but mainly caused by IM and Thor not accepting that this young, underpowered guy (to them) is appointed as their field leader. And maybe Cap not really wanting it?

In time for the final fight, they'll have acknowledged his superior leadership skills, and he'll have fully accepted the responsibility.

In short, I'd have him leading the team from the start.

 

[marcvader]

Cap is considered the ultimate leader and not having him portrayed as such would be a shame.

Being the superhero equivalent of swiss army knife Iron Man is a lone wolf character and I don't believe with RDJ's advance age and multiple film commitments RDJ will tag along for Avengers 2. So the best thing in Avengers is to make Tony Stark as a tech consultant of the Avengers, foregoing team responsibility and total team attachment. By Avengers 2 Iron Man role as the brain is going to be given either to Hank Pym/Ant Man or T'Challa/Black Panther, until they decide to reboot with a younger guy as Tony Stark. Chris Evans Steve Rogers is in for a longer stay so by preference it's best to establish the more permanent character as the standard.

Anyhow this doesn't mean that Tony Stark can't be the most interesting hero among the Avengers. He's the comedian & brain of the team. If Kang is the big bad wolf, mind play is in order and this is where Tony shine.

In short, I agree Cap should lead from the start. Tony barges in the middle for leadership, seeing himself forever irresponsible to a team endeavor he gives leadership to Cap. Still he'd bring toys or some erratic strategies helping the final fight.

 

[Hound55]

I'd like to see Cap thrust into the leadership role of the team, with subtextual hints that they're attempting to use his goodwill/public reputation to boost the team's image in the public eye in the first one... and in the second one Cap discovers some more nefarious intentions by Fury (or possibly Stark, preferably Fury).

Their no question that Captain America is and always will be the main lead of the Avengers .

i agree with your point about Cap maybe not wanting to lead at first. think about it, he,ll be pretty fresh out of the ice unless they skip ahead in time a few years. id think hed be still adjusting to modern times and may not feel too comfortable being the leader at first. but id imagine by the end of the movie he,ll be ready to go. but until then i see Fury actually running things and maybe Tony being a field leader or something and probably managing to screw it up. lol

 

[SPider-T0rch]

I've never liked the idea of Iron Man leading the Avengers. If anything, I'd like to see a leadership struggle between Iron Man and Cap like Kirk and Spock.

Except that if anyone is like Kirk, it's Tony Stark. Cap's leadership style and tactical approach is more like Spock.

 

[Matt Mortem]

In the film I foresee Fury "leading" and Cap being a field commander. I see Stark as the guy that just won't listen to either of them. Let's face it, the IM we were given in the films thus far is a cocky, arrogant guy. I don't see him giving nor taking orders very well

 

[Doctor Jones]

Tony will think he is the leader first and could think Cap is some relic who isn't fit to lead the team. Along with Cap. He'll initially think he's out of place in this world and that he's let his country down for being away for so long. Then eventually he'll clash with Stark. And then he'll be the leader and Stark and Rogers will come to respect eachother.

Basically like Kirk and Spock of ST but that's perfectly fine with me. But Cap is the true leader. This is the thing I'm most excited about the film.

 

[chiefchirpa]

I don't think movie Tony Stark ever leads in last movies, company-wise as CEO or being Iron Man. He's an eccentric lone wolf and prefer it to be like so.

So making him suddenly on a power trip is a bit jarring.
