The Avengers Who will lead the Avengers?

[SPider-T0rch]

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

I'm pretty sure they mean a power struggle SIMILAR to Kirk and Spock, not exactly like them in terms of personality traits.

 

[Doctor Jones]

No, I can see it in that way too. Kirk is the bad boy who disagrees with traditional Spock.

That's as far as it goes though, other than the fact both pairs of guys are from completely different places and have completely different ideals.

 

[BicyclMan]

Cap should lead. Iron Man should be like a "co-Leader" or something.

At the end of IM2, Nick Fury said that can use Stark as a CONSULTANT.

 

[Tony Stark]

I really like the way they have things setup in the Avengers animated series, because Iron Man is leading but of course he's wet behind the ears when it comes to leading things, including Stark Industries. That's the perfect portrayal for the movie.

I don't think having Tony lead is as out of left field as having Wolverine lead the X-men as he did in X3. Tony has always been a key figure in Avengers and was a founding memeber (Cap was not).

But I think the best way to look at this, as some one mentioned is like Star Trek with Kirk, Spoc and Bones. All three leading characters.

I gotta say I think its ridicules to think that RDJ will be unable to continue the Iron Man role into Avengers 2 because of his age............even if he would be like 51.........The man has a suit that covers his whole body.

Remember that Fury wants Iron man but not Tony due to Tony's recent episodes when faced with death. I think that Fury will probably put Stark on the team when he can prove to be more reliable. But do not think Marvel is going to bench Iron Man!

 

[Darthkush]

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.

This is what I assume we'll get. As long as Cap is the leader before the film is over,i'll be happy.

I'm hoping for an power struggle of similar circumstance on the currrent cartoon series as well.

Captain America

 

[Thundercrack85]

Captain America wouldn't work, at least not yet. He's a stranger in the modern / futuristic world. Needs time to adjust and take things in.

So, presumably Nick Fury for a while.

I can't see Tony Stark even wanting to be the leader. He will probably be the rebel.

 

[ripse]

Captain America of course, because is age more older than the other candidates...so respect him.

 

[Iron_Stark]

No one's going to be telling Tony what to do. Just look at the trailer and that little exchange he had with Steve.

He may not lead, but he's not going to be led.

 

[BigThor]

There's nothing wrong with being lead, even great leaders know when to follow.

 

[kedrell]

Cap is the only one who's automatically a team player already. He's a soldier and used to giving & receiving orders. The other big 3 aren't like that(well Thor obey's Odin as his king, but that's about it). Stark's used to running his own show and one of Hulk's biggest schticks is the whole 'nobody tells me what to do' thing. BW & Hawkeye are more minor players and agents already who are used to being under authority. I think it'll be Fury at first and then after a bunch of inner turmoil between team members, Cap will emerge and the best possible choice to lead.

 

[Terror Inc.]

I really REALLY want Cap to lead, but honestly, this is their first movie together and they are all kinda just pulled together to battle a huge threat. Sure they're a team, but not a well established team. I'm betting Fury is gonna lead this thing. I'm praying that by the end though, Cap pulls everyone together to work as a cohesive unit.

 

[BigThor]

Yeah I hope Cap turns out to be the leader as the film progresses as well, but I don't want them to beat us over the head with him being in charge.

The Avengers are all fairly experienced heroes, they don't need someone telling them what to do for every little thing.
