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.

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

Oh gosh I just have so many feelings about all this I don't even know if I can coherently express them.

I just hope all the waiting and waiting and waiting is worth it. From what it says here, it sounds like it will be, but I'm trying not to get too excited yet because it's all just so far away!

I hope the waiting is worth it too! I'm crossing my fingers that they have a really solid master plan in place. Right now all the pieces feel kind of out there, but hopefully it will all come together. :)
