Avengers: Age Of Ultron
- Thread starter The Wolf King
- Start date
Well the hint at the end of Avengers was definitely not Ultron, it was Thanos. Thought it was confirmed too, shortly after Avengers released, and that he was also supposed to be the villian in Guardians of the Galaxy, perhaps they are holding Thanos off until 3 now? I dunno, the ultron story line seems kinda played out to me
What was with the shot of Thanos at the end of Avengers then? Seems silly for him to put that in without plans to use Thanos in Avengers 2.
I have absolutely no idea of who or what Ultron is and the skills or powers he possesses, but Joss Whedon seems to have a great grasp of the material and I'm sure he has good reason to use Ultron as the antagonist of this movie.What was with the shot of Thanos at the end of Avengers then?

I think Ultron was a part of a series of experimental robots including The Vision and MachineMan.
His whole outer body is Adamantium(same stuff as Wolverine's claws). He should be able to take a punch from The Hulk without a dent.
I'm not sure how his origin will work in this movie. It seems like he's being made into an evil Stark Weapon.

Ultimately Ultron will have some of his powers (those established in the comics) removed for the film iteration. This is a choice by Joss Whedon so that the "big bad" doesn't seem unbeatable by The Avengers. Also, Ultron is being played by James Spader and after seeing the first episode of "The Blacklist" I'm all for it, he'll make an amazing antagonist.
Apparently he is changing up the origin story, the theory is that they might have Jarvis go rogue

Technically Ultron makes himself indestructible by making it's shell out of vibranium! But vibranium doesn't protect your insides from being exposed to 30G+!

Yeah that is pretty dumb, however the cool thing bout the Disney Marvel movies is its all the same universe, so who knows maybe Thanis is getting set up for a future appearance.
I read that Disney is actively shopping the Marvel properties that are owned/licensed to other studios.
If that's true then they're taking a big risk here. Using an entire Avenger's movie to try and push Guardians of the Galaxy. I think Marvel might be overestimating it's properties. We'll see I guess.
Well it as a post-credits thing, they weren't exactly using it to push Guardians film. But I kinda agree about them over estimating some of it's properties. I'm a fairly big Marvel fan, read a lot of their comics (admittedly mostly X-Men), and know a fair bit about their other stuff. Not saying I'm an expert or anything, but I had never heard of the Guardians of the Galaxy stuff till the film announcement. They're also making an Ant-Man film I think? I can think of many more characters they could use... *cough* Deadpool *cough*
Yes, Ant-Man film the movie is coming out in Theater 2015 (July, just two months away from The Avengers 2). I cannot wait!!!! Batman/Superman is also coming out in July as well. Should be interesting. 2015 is going to be awesome for many people.

Guardians of the Galaxy actually sounds like the Marvel movie with the most potential. From what we've seen so far, it looks like it could be a great film.
While still more well-known than Guardians of the Galaxy, Iron Man was not on the Superman/Batman/Spiderman level, as far as the non-comic reading public was concerned, especially outside of the US. But simply because it was a good film, it became a massive cultural phenomenon. And that's not an exaggeration. It might be hard for American males who grew up in the 70's, 80's or 90's to imagine, but Iron Man and The Avengers had zero public awareness at all, at all, at all in China. Thor and Captain America weren't very big hits, but everything Iron Man has been in, has been absolutely massive. They had Iron Man branded advertising for goddamn earthmoving and construction equipment. Large national clothing brands (think Hollister) had branded clothing to tie in with the sequels. It's probably the biggest franchise of the past 10 years, and even now, a lot of people don't even know Iron Man existed before 2009 or whatever.
GotG just needs to be an awesome good time movie and I think they'll be golden.

Thing about that though is that Iron Man became a hit partly because of it's star power. Star power can help make any movie become a franchise. I mean, if they opted to take Iron Man out of the Avengers and just have the rest of the cast, it would not be as big a movie in my opinion. RDJ is one of the biggest stars in the world today, arguably the biggest if you take into account all the box office success he's continued to have.
I'm not against Marvel turning the lesser known stuff into films, I'm all for more Marvel films. The cinematic universe still has so much potential.
As for RDJ, he was a huge risk at the time. Jon Favreau convinced them that RDJ would become to Iron Man/Tony Stark what Johnny Depp is to the Pirates of the Caribbean films. He was far from a sure bet, but he wasn't even the highest paid actor in Iron Man 1.

The good thing that GotG has going for it being a lesser known Marvel property is it can have a little more liberty with its plot and character development. It will have the Marvel name, and at this point quality for audience appeal.
Iron Man made RDJ's career.
He had one before, but it was pretty much dead. Look up the 5 films he made before Iron Man. How big were they? Was he the star? How much did he make?
No doubting he owns Stark and he's a great actor, but his name wasn't putting asses in seats back then like it does now.
5? more like 40+, plus a few TV shows like Ally McBeal. RDJ was a huge actor in the late 80's and 90's, had some big stuff kinda in the 00's too. He dropped from relevance when started getting into the news for drugs and s***, he pulled Charlie Sheen-esque s***. That's what pretty much killed his career, Iron Man rebooted it.
