Some Iron Man and Thor news...  
Kat Dennings is back for Thor 2! WOO! (Thanks to [livejournal.com profile] redbrunja for the heads-up. Yay flist!)

Also, someone over at AICN got a look at the Iron Man 3 trailer and has a description. Velly interesting. It's all under the cut for those that want to avoid anything of a spoilerish nature.


******************
CLICKY CLICKY CLICK CLICK.

I was most intrigued by this:

It also falls in line with the type of Iron Man movie that Shane Black has previously stated he intends to make: one that functions more like a grounded espionage thriller than a whimsical superhero film. Finally, the tone set in that Iron Man 3 trailer also falls in line with what we here at Screen Rant have speculated about at great length: that films like IM3 and Captain America 2 will present more grounded, real-world stories (and grittier tones), in order to balance out the wild sci-fi aspects of upcoming “Marvel Cosmic” movies like Thor 2 and Guardians of the Galaxy.


That sounds to me like a perfect opportunity to add some SHIELD folks into the mix. Still waiting on any casting confirmation for Scarlett or Renner in Cap 2 though. I'm glad that the execs are at least thinking this through enough to realize "Hey, we've got a lot of wacky space stuff going on (plus Ant Man) with characters nobody cares about. Maybe we should also have a few storylines where shit actually gets real."

At least, until we get our Black Widow movie.

**CUE PRAYER CIRCLE**

Have I mentioned lately that I love everyone in this bar? 'Cause I do. Happy Wednesday, y'all.

(raises hand)

I care.

I mean, I love Tash and Clint and SHIELD, don't get me wrong, but...

Rocket Raccoon is AWESOME.

Yeah, Hank Pym is kind of...but Janet Pym is awesome AND he creates Ultron which leads to Vision...Vision kicks ass AND he leads to WANDA!

And I freaking love Wanda, she's the SCARLET WITCH!

I also heard she may play the cello...if Rebecca Hall turned out be Wanda in IM3, I would not oppose this...

I know Maria is in IM3 so I can't imagine NOT having Tasha and/or Clint in Winter Soldier especially with Bucky and all of that...

Then, there's the new SHIELD show which would probably have some of the non-Avengers agents like Sitwell and his new recruits...

*fingers crossed for a prequel/flashbacks/fix it with Coulson*

However, if the new show does do awesomely, that may make them even more encouraged to make an actual, proper SHIELD film with Tasha and Clint and "ma(king) a different call'.

I don't know if anyone else has seen Item 47 yet but it as good as confirms that Coulson taught those under him to "make a different call" when it was the right thing to do.

Hey-- sorry to be dissmissive about Guardians and Ant Man. It's just my residual bitterness over not getting a BW movie and also concern over expanding the universe to include so many new characters when there are plenty (**cough cough** Clint) who still need more screentime devoted to their development. But they did a great job pulling Phase 1 together in the end, so I'm trying to remin hopeful about Phase 2.

What's Item 47?

Us bitter? Never. :P

My concern with Ant-Man is that he doesn't really bring anything to the table in terms of capabilities. The current Avengers are a well-balanced team, I can't see Ant-Man adding much at all. And if they keep adding characters then they might have to split into two teams- and at that point it gets ridiculous.

I hope they can figure out s way to get us Scarlet Witch without having to go through miles of story hoopla though (she, having magic, would actually add something new and different to the team).

I'm intrigued by Scarlet Witch. I'd love to see her find her way into a Marvel film... :)
