I freaking loved Moon Knight!!

I'm looking forward to IM3. It's never going to be a movie to make you think really but the action scenes are pretty solid and Downey Jr. is the perfect person to play Stark and put in a grea tperformance in both so far.

The only MoonKnight I've read was the civil war one, seems like an interesting character, messed up though.

Apparently there's a hint towards the Iron Man 3 villain in the Avengers somewhere, maybe post credits.

JP Liz V1 · 24-04-2012 11:45am

Jessica Chastain and Guy Pearce also rumoured to be in

24-04-2012 12:43pm

This is actually sounding pretty interesting. Kiss Kiss Bang Bang is up there among my favourite RDJ movies.

Thoms Yorkie Bars · 24-04-2012 6:03pm

Andy Lau from Infernal Affairs looks set to be joining. Pretty good cast so far. Looking forward to see what Shane Black does

kronsington · 25-04-2012 4:44pm

I really hope they get the villains right this time. Rourke, Rockwell and Bridges are all great actors but when it came to the final showdown in each movie with Iron Man, it was a bit of a let down each time. I watched the first 2 movies in prep for the Avengers the last 2 nights. Both movies start really well but fade towards the second half. I like the Stark stuff more than the IM segments. The casting of Kingsley and Pearce is promising, hopefully Black has something interesting in store.

Very interested to see how Whedon handles the character.

I've said it before and I'll say it again; Thor is the only one of the Avengers build-up movies that doesn't suffer from this.

That's only because it didn't exactly build up expectations in the first place only to let people down with the closing act. It was pretty much bland from the get go

Thor was easily the best of all five.

Just read that Black Widow will not be in IM3. Hopefully she gets her own movie.

I'm guessing it's more likely she'll be in the next Captain America, which will probably be a lot more SHIELD-related. Either that or they might make a Hawkeye film and pair them up

Not of your a fan of the BW character. Didnt Marvel announce they were going to make some low budget movies at around the $50-60 million mark. Seems like a good candidate.

The ball seems to have started rolling now on this. Rebecca Hall has been cast in the female lead in Iron Man 3, supposedly as the scientist that creates the extremis technology. I've not read Extremis so I'm not 100% sure what that means. jessica Chastain supposedly was up for the role first but turned it down due to being too busy.

If she the female lead though, I presume that means Pepper won't be getting as much screen time.

Here's a nice picture:

Rebecca Hall is lovely, but the woman can act too - she was excellent in the Awakening. Good choice! Not sure about Kingsley though... it just seems that he only hams it up nowadays.

spankmaster2000 · 10-05-2012 4:24pm

Kingsley was pretty good in Hugo I thought! He can still act anyway!

On a related note; are they ever going to do a Nick Fury film?
He's a character that I think deserves to have his backstory explored; but I don't think I could sit through 2 hours of Samuel L. Jackson being a badass. Or at least; it would have to be a younger actor anyway.

Or even just remake this!:

It should be available on Netflix as a motion comic: http://movies.netflix.com/WiMovie/Iron_Man_Extremis/70204996?trkid=2361637

But essentially Extremis is a nanite project. The aim was to - of all things - use it to do supersoldiery type stuff and it went kinda bad. Iron Man gets his ass handed to him by the resulting firebreathing asskicking bastard. Getting completely crippled by the fight and near death again, he writes his own program for the nanite code and uses it on himself.

The result is it rewires his brain and rebuilds his body in addition to 'upgrading' his internal organs, bone structure etc. - Stark then has these nanites in his body acting as a direct link between him and the Iron Man, so the suit gets beyond human reaction times and all that good stuff. His brain is pretty much a computer at this point so he's able to hack into cell phones and satellites and stuff too - even multitask on things like remotely piloting other autonomic iron man suits.

Much much farther down the line it gets to the point where the entire suit is stored in his body through nanites (not just an underarmor sheath) but thats an entirely different matter beyond Extremis.

Ah right sounds cool! Yeah I saw the motion comic on there but hey look a bit naff, would rather read the actual comic I think.

Overheal · 10-05-2012 6:16pm

I would. Comics get pricey though. Should be able to find them either on the ComicsX or Marvel Comics apps for droid or iOS relatively cheap per issue

While your at it download some atomic robo. That **** is epic.

The Extremis story line kinda bothers me that it'll be incredibly hard to pull off on screen; even in the context of a superhero movie - I'm getting that whole james bonds disappearing car vibe - it's just too fantastical technologically.

I'd rather have Tony the drunk for a while.

According to Warren Ellis, they're using "elements" of the story. That could translate into just about anything.

Because they handled that with so much dignity in IM2

Gbear · 11-05-2012 4:40pm

Did anyone else think Don Cheadle made an absolutely awful Rhodey?

The other fella was more believable. Cheadle didn't seem like a real person. Could've just written it badly for the 2nd film but I don't like Cheadle in general.

Hopefully in any 3rd film he features sparingly.

brianregan09 · 11-05-2012 8:39pm

Yeah i thought he was a horrible rhodey no presence about him atal , War Machine supposed to be a bad ass version of Tony, and i have no fear Tony could kick seven shades of **** out of this rhodey not so much Terence Howard though

Nervous Wreck · 11-05-2012 11:09pm

I don't much like Cheadle or Howard. The presence of War Machine in IM2 annoyed me. Have Rhodey there, cool. But giving IM a side-kick when we've got The Avengers is just too much.

Overheal · 12-05-2012 6:25am

I can't really think of anybody who would otherwise be a good fit for Rhodes. Cheadle did well enough, and had he been cast the first time around I don't think people wouldve noticed either way. Howard annoyed me a bit though.

An actor being cast in a role hasn't prevented them being cast in another one so far, it actually makes it more likely.:D

brianregan09 · 14-05-2012 8:59pm

I assume you're alluding to the Human Torch being Captain America ? those two movies were made by two diffrent studios so the liklihood of it happening in the contuinuity that Marvel Studios has created is miniscule would have to be someone who is barely noticable in one role, Take for example there is talks that Derek Luke who plays token black guy in Captain America could play Black Panther or Luke Cage

Budget perhaps? Or cluttering too many characters in? They cut Natalie Portman, Captain America's love interest (although she'd be in her 90's at this stage :pac:) as well as the warriors 3, odin, blablabla.

Or maybe they realised the horrible mistake they made in casting Don Cheadle?

was wondering that too, prob enough characters as there was and didnt need another one thrown in at the last minute for no reason, or he's off doing something for the air force someplace. I still dont buy Don Cheadle in the role, Terrence Howard was a much better choice, didnt he price himself out of IM2 or something? I rewatched it before thr Avengers and its not as a bad as people make it out to be, its got some cool moments. Stark and Rhodie battering each other around to the strains of Daft Punk is great :pac:

War Machine was a terrible addition to IM2. Rhodey was a bland character and WM just acted as another IM. Super glad he wasn't in TA.

Natalie Portman was my.... er I mean Thor's love interest

I'd say it was a mix of budget constraints and too much stuff already crammed in.

Failed to notice this. Mind is now blown. But those Fantastic Four movies were completely **** anyway, so it's all good.

They talked about not having many extras in Avengers largely because of how that might screw up individual movie sequels (ie. Thor doesn't see Portman again, thereby not screwing up a plotline for Thor 2, etc)

Besides War Machine is a West Coast avenger...

The Iron Man films were set in LA I think. Avengers was New York, in Stark's new building. So chances are, War Machine was in LA when the Avengers sh*t went down in New York.

I definitely preferred Cheadle to Howard in the Iron Man films, but they still could have gotten someone better for the role like Idris Elba (kinda wasted as Heimdall, though he was pretty cool in Thor)

Galvasean · 15-05-2012 1:09pm

So, war Machine spin-off movie to show what the hell he was doing during Avengers? :pac:

Corholio · 15-05-2012 5:13pm

Probably the least of all the Avengers film's I look forward to after the, IMO, very poor Iron Man 2. RDJ is great as him, but sometimes it can be too much, felt like I was watching a comedy film with some extra parts about men in metal suits.

Hopefully 3 can be a lot better though.

Overheal · 15-05-2012 6:30pm

Should hopefully be. I know they're dropping Favreau as the director. He will Produce though.

THR: So you’re producing Iron Man 3. That’s filming soon. What’s the status?

Favreau: Yeah, down in Wilmington, it’s starting to shoot in a couple weeks. I was just talking to Shane Black and Downey and look, I think it’s a really smart way to go. After Avengers, you want to start with something really bold and inspired, and if you’ve ever seen Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang, you’ve seen that when Downey and Shane get together, interesting and unexpected things happen. I’m happy to see that it’s taking a bit of a tonal shift from The Avengers and it’s going to be something completely different and exciting, and I’m happy to be a part of it.

THR: What kind of tonal shift? Darker?

Favreau: No, just a little bit more offbeat, I’d say. Shane and Robert definitely have an original point of view and an original take on the character, and I think it delves deeper into what makes Tony Stark tick and plays on the unexpected original unpredictable quality of the character that I think fans gravitate to.

THR: Are you going to be involved on a daily basis?

Favreau: I’ll be very involved on that one. I’ve already been talking to them and I feel a tremendous connection to that franchise and that character, and I’m very proud to see it moving forward in a way that re-enforces that story.

http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/heat-vision/jon-favreau-talks-iron-man-3-revolution-324003

It would be nice of them to touch on the other human sides of Tony Stark. The guy is an alcoholic, and this isn't really touched on very well in the first 2 movies whatsoever. At least not to the point where it's acknowledged as a major character flaw. Even in Avengers he's piloting the Iron Man while at least mildly inebriated. It's the one thing I am starting to dislike about his movie portrayals, Stark is just far too nonchalant about it, while his comic persona struggles with it a lot, and gave up the juice years ago. Every once in a while he gets shown at a local AA meeting, slurping cheap coffee from Styrofoam and telling homeless people about his problems.

.instead of Norman Osborn, i curse the fact that marvel dont own all their characters anymore

Villain

Villain without mask

Though i will admit when i glanced at that one i thought it was Chris Evans...which would prob be less confusing than havin Salvin as technically two villains
