This week was full of speculation in the Marvel universe. New York Comic Con has been going on this week and many people want the Daredevil suit to be revealed but it has not, as of yet. The future of the Avengers cast and who and who won't be in it has also been a highly talked about subject. We also got another mysterious casting for Ant-Man and the third episode of Agents of SHIELD.
Main Avengers not in Avengers 3
Early this week Devin Faraci of Badass Digest reported that some of our favorite Avengers could be held out of Avengers 3 so Marvel can use the actors in a mega event later on. He reported that Avengers 3 will not be split into two movies but "as the springboard... to something else." If this report is in fact true, Marvel could hold out the likes of Thor, Captain America, Hulk, and maybe more to have newcomers like Ant-Man, Doctor Strange, and possibly Ms Marvel or Black Panther help previous Avengers save the planet. The most intriguing part of this report is the "something else" Marvel has planned. Could we see their take on Civil War, Secret Wars, or could this "something else" be a mega team up to stop the mad titan Thanos? We will have to wait and see.
Martin Donovan Joins Ant-Man
Ant-Man is currently in production and while we know details of the plot, many of the actors and actresses roles in the movie remain a mystery. That list grew larger this week when The Holleywood Reporter reported that Martin Donovan has been added as a "pivotal" but hidden role. What role would you like to see Martin Donovan take up?
Spider-Man Joining Avengers?
Along with new faces joining future Avengers movies, reports surfaced this week that we could see our favorite web-slinger join sooner rather than later. HitFix reported that they have heard rumblings that Sony and Marvel are once again talking about how to get Spider-Man on screen with Marvel's cinematic universe. They talked back before The Avengers came out to include Oscorp Tower in the skyline but unfortunately it was too late in the process to feature it. According to the report, Marvel wants to be able to use all of their characters in this universe they are creating, even if that means helping out Sony. Throwing Spider-Man into Avengers 3 with Iron Man, Hawkeye, Doctor Strange, and more would get people even more excited for the third chapter before Avengers: Age of Ultron even gets a trailer. They could also hold him out until that "something else" Faraci talked about. Either way, getting Spider-Man back into the hands of Kevin Feige and Marvel Studios is the best scenario for fans.
Robert Downey Jr. Future With Marvel
Robert Downey Jr. has been making the rounds promoting his new movie The Judge and has not been able to avoid questions about the possibility of Iron Man 4 and other possibilities with Marvel. On The Ellen Degeneres Show, he jokingly said that it is happening but later said that it is not part of the current plan. He did reveal that him and Marvel are talking about his contract and seeing what they could do, and what it would cost them, to get Downey to stay the face of the universe for many more years to come. Even if Tony Stark is not Iron Man and just is a behind the desk man, his presence in the world as a Nick Fury-esque character is something Marvel knows would keep fans incredibly happy.
Agents of SHIELD Episode 3
Agents of SHIELD continues to improve in season 2 and this week debuted episode 3, "Making Friends and Influencing People." You can read our full review on the episode here.
Official Daredevil Synopsis revealed
Today we got our first official synopsis for the Daredevil Netflix series. The synopsis is " 'Marvel's Daredevil' is a live action series that follows the journey of attorney Matt Murdock, who in a tragic accident was blinded as a boy but imbued with extraordinary senses. Murdock sets up practice in his old neighborhood of Hell's Kitchen, New York where he now fights against injustice as a respected lawyer by day and masked vigilante at night." Daredevil stars Charlie Cox as Matt Murdock and will debut on Netflix in early 2015.
Agent Carter Finds Another Agent
Kyle Bornheimer has been added to excellent Agent Carter cast as Agent Ray Krzeminski. He will reportedly clash with Hayley Atwell's Peggy Carter as they try to protect the world.
