This past week has been a busy one for Marvel. Not only did get lots of news about season 2 of Agents of SHIELD but we also got some new releases from Marvel. This week Captain America: The Winter Soldier and season 1 of Agents of SHIELD came out on DVD and Blu-Ray. This won't be a major sub point but make sure you all go and pick these up for your Marvel collections! As far as other news goes, we will touch on Avengers: Age of Ultron, Ant-Man, Avengers 3, Captain America 3, and season 2 of Agents of SHIELD.
First Full Look at Vision
This week gave us our first look at the front of Vision. Thanks to some promotional displays, Vision's full form was revealed to the public.
Guardians Top Box Office. Again
By now everyone knows how big of a success Guardians of the Galaxy was for Marvel, but even so, the Guardians continue to surprise. Last weekend, Guardians of the Galaxy was the top film at the box office. That is the fourth time that the Guardians have achieved it. This marks the first time since 2012 that a film has topped the box office in four different weekends. Ohhh, yeah.
No Iron Man 4
Robert Downey Jr. revealed this week that there are currently no plans at Marvel to produce another Iron Man movie. This should not come as a surprise because even if they did, Marvel would not announce anything until Downey Jr. has signed on contractually.
A Ripped Paul Rudd
Paul Rudd has officially taken the Ant-Man role seriously. Michael Douglas said in an interview this week that Paul Rudd is in such great shape that Marvel took out the built in muscles from his suit. While we have yet to see the official Ant-Man suit on Rudd, this only further builds up the hype.
Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. Season 2
With season 2 of Agents of SHIELD being just over a week away, Marvel has started releasing episode synopsis' and cast lists for the first two episodes. I won't go into full detail for those of you who want to go into the new season knowing little of anything. As far as non-spoilers go, the season premiere will feature a cameo appearance by Peggy Carter and the Howling Commandos in a flashback scene! We will also be introduced to Isabelle Hartley, Lance Hunter, Alphonso "Mack" Mackenzie, Daniel Whitehall, and Carl Creer. Episode 2 will give us our first look at Kyle MacLachlan as Skye's father.
Falcon's Return Set
The Russo brothers continued press tours for the DVD release of Captain America: The Winter Soldier and continue to dodge questions about the title, villains, or plot. One thing that was confirmed this week was that Falcon will return for Captain America 3. We will get to see more of Falcon and what he can do in 2016.
Dave Bautista Getting Upgraded
Dave Bautista is about to get a lot more screen time and money if recent reports are true. PW Mania, a wrestling website, revealed that they have knowledge that Marvel is redoing Bautista's contract to add more movies and money to his deal. One movie that the website reported will feature Bautista will be Avengers 3. It sounds like Drax, and possibly the rest of the Guardians, will get their chance to stop Thanos from taking over the galaxy.
Daredevil Cast at NYCC
It was announced this week that the Daredevil cast will make an appearance at New York Comic-Con. They will join NYCC on October 11th for a panel about Marvel's TV properties. This will be the first time the cast will be together in public and hopefully will give us confirmations on casting and an official look at the new Daredevil costume.
