At the end of the article is says Joss has announced the name of the Avengers 2 movie... Also, the description of the movie they are talking about sounds a wee bit FF, and is directed by the guy who directed Slither, which Nathan was in (Wishi puts her fingers in a temple pose and ponders, hmmmm.)

Joss Whedon popped his head out at the end of the panel to show a teaser for Avengers 2 and announce the title: Age of Ultron. Folks streaming out of Hall H were extremely excited about the title but I had to look it up. Ultron is a really big robot.
Since Joss has a rep for killing his characters, he has got to be joking with that title because the 10-issue Marvel comic Age of Ultron kills every Avenger. Well, almost everyone because someone survives to tell the tale about Ultron. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Age_of_Ultron

Marvel Studios head Kevin Feige said the Age of Ultron title is "borrowed" from the comic book run, but "bears no relation to that arc." Then why recycle the title? I think the reason is that Joss is playing a practical joke. - http://movies.yahoo.com/blogs/movie-talk/joss-whedon-announces-reveali

More maneuvering for the biggest bang then, will he/won't he...

You go for it Joss, life doesn't apologize for who it kills off, and neither should you! If no one ever got killed off dramas would be pathetic.

I give up on figuring out who is the baddies and who is the goodies.

As far as I'm concerned Joss is arming a circus and launching it into space, wheeee.

The head of Marvel said it's not based on the Age of Ultron comic. They just borrowed the name.

I'm more curious why they'd do Ultron before Ant Man. Maybe this will be sort of an Ant Man origin story as well.

May have been the losing side. Still not convinced it was the wrong one.


So the hints of Thanos (cameo at the end of Avengers & the Infinity Gauntlet in Thor) won't bear fruit in the next movie? Hmmm.......

Still, I trust Joss so I will be interested to see where this goes.

I don't get why he'd DO that...If it ain't about Ultron why use the damn name? Well, I guess "Avengers 2 -Even More Avengier" sounded bad... Live Free or Die Avenged?....Kingdom of the Avenged?... Revenge of the Avengers?
Re-Avenging the Avenge of the Avengers, Again?...Dead Man's Avenge?...

Avengers Meets Firefly,(Mal takes Black Widow out ona date with a real man and turns Captain America into Captain Independent and they go get into bar fights together while they just aim the reavers at whatever hord of evil gets pointed this way and they run whimpering for their mamas? Jayne and Thor take over Asgard, Book and Fury both get purple lightsabers and go looking for the new balance in the force when all the while it was Zoe and Wash's baby and River finally starts her own Riverdance franchise because she's a reader and she know what show you want to watch...and Simon and Kaylee start a very successful company that patches ships and bullet holes out on the rim... The Hulk fixes whatevers up with Inara and she becomes the Hottest President EVER with the slogan "Everyone needs to get laid NOW"

Yeah, I'm bored....


Naked Gun Avengers 2 and a 1/2? Ooooh, I'd go see that one, wink...

No no I think it's still about Ultron but just not based on the Age of Ultron comic. I'm pretty sure that's viewed as like an alternate reality. I'm not a big comic reader, but I think that one is not viewed as canon.

Joss can slay enemies by the thousands and still get a PG rating for Age of Ultron since robots don't bleed. The Phantom Menace killed thousands of droids and got a PG, while Avengers was PG-13 since that enemy was alive.

I've heard that PG can make more money than PG-13 because 'younglings' add to the pool of possible customers. Revenge of the Sith was PG-13 because Skywalker was slaughtering children, which makes actual children pee on the theater seats. Very little profit in that.

In the Ultimates Universe, Ultron is an entire series of robots, with the personality being a corrupted Jarvis. Im betting they utilize that origin to an extent, at least. Im also thinking he'll be a SHIELD project gone wrong, given that the secret weapon program subplot from Avengers is central to Cap 2, and they've said Cap 2 leads most directly to Avengers 2.




Excuse me while I soak in all these sweet, sweet conservative tears.

Im thinking they're building to the Infinity Gauntlet story for Avengers 3. That involves the scientific, cosmic and magical corners of the Marvel universe (with Doctor Strange covering the magical portion of phase 3). The storyline also offers opportunity for them to kill off some of the bog names in an epic way, or even use the reality warping properties to cover some re-casting post Av3.

I haven't seen her act in anything. So, I don't really have anything to go on. Not the prettiest actress around, but she's cute enough. That's about all I got. I'm sure Joss knows what he's doing.

Why, because of her relatives? She's a pretty highly acclaimed actress, doing mainly indie drama (with some horror to pay the bills, no doubt), not the teeny bop crap her sisters did.

Well, after listening to the voice...I got why. She's a little pretty thing, but she has an inordinately commanding voice for her stature.
