How can someone include Pepper Potts and not include Nick Fury?
Just enough hulk, in other words. I trust Whedon to get the balance right.
I trust Whedon to make a good Avengers movie yeah, but the balance in the first movie was way in Stark's/Iron Man's favor, so balance is still something I'm weary about.

See, I thought everyone agreed the first movie was all about SHIELD and less about the Avengers...
But all in all, I feel like it was a good balance of both of them.

The balance in the first movie was very deliberate. And the payoff we finally got with the final hulk appearance was even more epic because of it

We need more Cap being a leader and Hawkeye to be Hawkguy.
We can only hope.

I honestly think Renner could pull a Hawguy. I know it's hard to believe, but the guy has the comedic chops. His zanny adventures could also serve to provide some actual background for Nat. Black Widow is one of my fabourite Marvel girls, but God knows her role in the MCU has been largely unremarkable so far.
They have alot of room to explore her background, maybe a Red Room?

Red Room could be great, but I'm not sure if they are willing to fill the MCU with so many "old people" (both Caps and Bucky were born pre-WW2, and it's not like Nat is much younger).

Whenever a game uses "middleware," I expect mediocrity. Just see how poor TLOU looks.
that beautiful gorgeousness in the center <3
As pumped as I am for Avengers 2, right now I'm just looking forward to 2014's best movie, Captain America: Winter Soldier
I'm pretty sure Cap had more screentime than Stark did.
More details on his abilities.

A major threat to the Avengers of course, but he is next to nothing compared to cosmic leveled foes.

my sentiment exactly
Well not like they bringing in Leonardo Di Vince, just a few that knows where the bodies are buried and that dirt been going down since forever.

I found it to be more of Captain America's film than Stark's.
I've a manly mancrush on Evans, he's so hnnnnnnnnnnggggggggg....

Good grief. Please don't even bring Leonardo da Vinci again. I wish I could unremember that fucking POS of an arch. Garbage.
He was incredibly funny in The Losers.
I think someone timed it after the movie came out, and Cap and Stark were within a minute of each other for screentime.
Thor actually had the second least (after Hawkeye), which I didn't really notice the first time but was pretty clear on rewatch.
I don't want to live in a world where Issac Newton didn't bang deviant women.

Isn't adamantium indestructible? How will they destroy him?
it is actually worse. His later bodies are made of solid adamatinum. Literally solid no pistons or servos, he moves by rearranging the molecular structure of body.

That's even worse than the Silver Samurai in Wolverine.
That was bullshit, Ultron is awesome.

Blehhh...
Thanos may be the "ultimate" villain they're building up to for these first few phases, but Ultron is no joke. He's super OP.

I still don't know how they are going to properly explain Ultron's creation and rise without a prequel or a long ass feature film. Its story is incredibly dense, from AI going rogue to the creation of its own army of superpowered minions, not to mention its creepy robotic brides. Even more difficult if they are going with the current Age of Ultron story, which is basically Ultron going BAMF on a planetary scale. There's just too much to explain.

Yeah.
Will they at least show glimpse of him in Marvel movies this year, like Winter Soldier for example?
I think they lose a lot without the creepy Pym connection.
Masters of Evil.
They aren't, the connection is in name only. Feige and Whedon have both said the only chose the name because it was the subtitle that sounded the coolest.
Since Winter Solider is supposed to be heavily allude to Avengers 2, I'm wondering if SHIELD isn't responsible for Ultron's creation. I know the teaser hints at Tony being involved, but I could also see Ultron being SHIELD's "phase 3" weapon (phase 2 being those HYDRA guns in the first movie).
If sources are to be believed The Winter Soldier will deal with Ultron origins, how much? Well, march 26 isn't that far.
I hope they simplify it. Everything I read sounds pretty silly pants. Creepy robotic brides? Is it stupid or does it just sound stupid and it's actually pretty awesome?
Funky Papa

It's super stupid, but it became a lot less so with every little retcon and characterization. Still, Ultron needs to be tackled with caution. Hollywood has shown time and time again that writers can pull some mind-numbingly silly stuff when they need to deal with sentient robots and complex stories involving machines.
I don't think that's going to happen now, though Fox is cutting it pretty close. They're not done casting (officially at least) and they're supposed to start shooting in the next month.

Movie is pretty much a done deal to me. Marvel studios has a lot of good faith with me.
Let me dream! :[
Kang
I hope they somehow put Kang before Thanos. Kang isn't higher than Thanos or Korvac.
that is what annoys me when people just go "wifebeater". Pym has such a history and a depth that it is mind blowing.
Little lower, but Kang is still good stuff.

I hope Ultron is a sexy robo-hunk.

TBF, Marvel kind of embraced it with Ultimate Pym. Of course, everybody in the Ultimate universe is a walking, festering phallus, but that thing kind of permeates.
Except for the spider section. the Ultimate Universe should be nullified and never mentioned again. I weep for people's who's only experience to the characters was the ultimate universe.

I loved the first movie but i don't know anything at all about Ultron, what's the best comic to familiarize myself with this gentleman?
