Marvel Weekly News #19

Welcome to 2015 Marvel fans! The last few days of 2014 and the beginning of 2015 has been full of news. This year Marvel will release Agent Carter, finish season 2 of Agents of SHIELD, release Avengers: Age of Ultron and Ant-Man, as well as Daredevil and AKA Jessica Jones on Netflix. Marvel will also finish season 2 of Agents of SHIELD with the need to answer some questions before picking up the show for a third season. Promo images and trailers have started to make their way online causing for lots of new information. Besides promotional items, Vin Diesel has once again teased another future role with Marvel. There was also confirmation on a previously mysterious character in Avengers: Age of Ultron as well as news on who was at one time considered to appear in the sequel.

Vin Diesel Teases Inhuman Role

Even though Vin Diesel is the voice of Groot, he wants a much larger role in the Marvel universe. This week on his Facebook page, Diesel posted the image above. This is not the first time he has teased a role in the now officially announced movie Inhumans. He has used the word to describe how Marvel must view him as well as post a picture of Black Bolt on his page before ultimately taking it down. It seems like only a matter of time before Marvel officially announces Vin Diesel to be Black Bolt, the leader of the Inhumans.

Ant-Man Promo Banner

Ant-Man has had its ups and downs for sure. It has made a director change following the departure of Edgar Wright, and now Peyton Reed is the man in charge. It is only seven months away from being released in theaters and this week gave us a promotional banner. The banner (pictured above) features Ant-Man and Yellowjacket in their respective costumes. While we have not yet seen either of the suits in action, we just might in the coming days.

Abomination in Age of Ultron?

The Incredible Hulk is widely considered to be the weakest film in the Marvel cinematic universe. Besides the post credit scene featuring an appearance by Tony Stark, the movie has yet to have any ties to the current Marvel films. In an interview with Crave Online, Tim Roth, the man who played Emil Blonsky, said his character was considered to appear in Avengers: Age of Ultron. Bringing Abomination back into the universe would give a worthy foe to the Hulk. Could others such as General Ross (William Hurt) or Betty Ross (Liv Tyler) also return?

Age of Ultron Promo Art Leaked

Ant-Man was not the only one to get promo images leaked. An entire batch of Avengers: Age of Ultron promo art leaked online. We have an entire article featuring the art that you can see here.

Claudia Kim's Role Revealed

During the first footage for Avengers: Age of Ultron, we got to see the infamous party scene. One of the people in attendance was a mystery to us until now. The actress has been known as Claudia Kim and she was described as a doctor and friend of Tony Stark. Thanks to Collider, we know that her official name is Dr. Cho. It's unclear how big of a role she will have in the movie at this point, but we are interested to see her with the rest of the team.

Paltrow Done as Pepper?

Gwyneth Paltrow has been Pepper Potts since the beginning of the Marvel cinematic universe in Iron Man. In an interview this week with Harper's Bazaar, Paltrow said she fears she may be replaced in the near future. "I’d like to do it. But they might swap me out for an 18-year-old Pepper Potts or something."
