Marvel Weekly News #35

The world is officially in the Age of Ultron. The movie debuted oversees and has started breaking box office records, while the United States will get to see Avengers: Age of Ultron this coming Friday. Now that Avengers: Age of Ultron is out, the focus for the MCU turns toward Ant-Man, Agents of SHIELD, and the rest of Phase 3.

Agents of SHIELD Season 2 Wraps Filming

There are only three weeks left of what has turned out to be a fantastic second season of Agents of SHIELD. The cast and crew revealed this week that they have finished filming this season. Agents of SHIELD has not yet been renewed for a third season but it is very likely that ABC and Marvel will pick it up again.

Ant Sized Ant-Man Promotions

Marvel has turned their attention to promoting Ant-Man, the film coming out after Avengers: Age of Ultron. The marketing team at Marvel has gotten very creative with their latest set of promotional materials. They have started putting ant sized billboards in various places in America to shed light on the next movie.

Captain Marvel Officially Gets Writers

Last week, The Tracking Board broke a story that Nicole Perlman and Meg LeFauve have been tapped to co-write Captain Marvel. This week, Marvel officially announced the hiring of the two female writers for their first female lead film.

Possible Leads for Agents of SHIELD Spinoff

Two weeks ago, EW revealed that their sources have told them that ABC and Marvel have been quietly developing an Agents of SHIELD spinoff series. The Hollywood Reporter came back this week claiming to know who might star in the series. According to THR, Lance Hunter (Nick Blood) and Bobbi Morse aka Mockingbird (Adrianne Palicki) will be the leads in the series. For more info on the spinoff series, click here.

Daredevil Renewed for Season 2

After the booming success Marvel and Netflix found with Daredevil, they moved quickly to get the series back. Marvel announced that Daredevil will be returning for a second season in 2016 but that there will be some changes. We recently gave our ideas for 10 Shows Marvel Should Make on Netflix and some of these could be set up in Daredevil Season 2. Read more about the second season of Daredevil here.

Agents of SHIELD EP 18

As mentioned earlier, the second season of Agents of SHIELD is coming to a close and that meant a new episode this past week. "Frenemy of My Enemy" brought the many separate stories of Agents of SHIELD together as they gear up for the season finale. Read our full review of EP 18 here.

Shortlist for Spider-Man Actors Revealed

Spider-Man is nearing his debut in the MCU as rumors stating that he will appear in Captain America: Civil War, which starts filming next week. Marvel and Sony has not yet locked down an actor to take on the iconic role but they have started to narrow the hunt. Jeff Sneider of The Wrap broke a story where his sources told him that Asa Butterfield, Nat Wolff, Tom Holland, Timothée Chalamet, Liam James, and few more are in the running. These actors range from 18 to 20, with Asa Butterfield being the biggest name revealed so far.

Doctor Strange May Visit Netflix

Doctor Strange is currently slated to make his debut in the MCU when his solo film, Doctor Strange, hits theaters in 2016. This week, Bleeding Cool ran a scoop that they are being told that Doctor Strange will in fact debut on Netflix first. This is an interesting rumor as they go on to say they are unsure if Benedict Cumberbatch would be the one to play him. They also say that he will appear in Iron Fist but that is currently scheduled to come out after Doctor Strange hits theaters, so that doesn't make a whole lot of sense.

Marvel Weekly News #34

It was another busy week for the MCU. We are less than two weeks away from Avengers: Age of Ultron hitting theaters and that means Marvel is promoting the life out of the movie. There has also been a flurry of news on the television front surrounding Agents of SHIELD. There was also news on when Doctor Strange and Captain America: Civil War will start filming, a new Ant-Man trailer, and much more. Check out all the news from this past week below!

Doctor Strange Production Date
Marvel will venture into the mystical side of the MCU next fall with the release of Doctor Strange starring Benedict Cumberbatch. While Kevin Feige was as the press junket for Avengers: Age of Ultron, he told reporters that Scott Derickson's Doctor Strange will start filming in November of this year.

Is Spider-Man Already in MCU?
Marvel and Sony made a groundbreaking deal early this year to bring Spider-Man into the MCU. He is set for his own movie in 2017 but we are probably going to see him in Captain America: Civil War next year. Kevin Feige talked to Crave Online about Spider-Man and said, "There is a young kid [already] running around New York City in a homemade version of the Spider-Man costume in the MCU, you just don’t know it yet." Maybe we could see Spider-Man himself or a reference to him sooner than we think.

More Age of Ultron Footage Released
Marvel has started to heavily promote Avengers: Age of Ultron and released 6 more revealing clips of the movie. You can watch the beginning of the Hulkbuster vs Hulk fight here, Ultron and Iron Man collide here, Black Widow calm down the Hulk here, the Avengers deal with initial Ultron attack here, an extended look at the party scene here, and a new TV Spot featuring the return of an old ally here. Along with the new footage, they released 14 stills from the movie giving us new looks at some new faces. You can see all 14 stills here.

New Ant-Man Trailer Released
Marvel also released the second full trailer for Ant-Man and totally changed the perspective of the movie for most people. It gave us our first live action look at the Yellowjacket suit worn by Darren Cross (Corey Stoll) and more action with Ant-Man (Paul Rudd) getting the help from ants. Watch the full trailer here!

Civil War to Start Filming Soon
Once Avengers: Age of Ultron hits theaters, production will begin on Captain America: Civil War. Variety reported that the Russo brothers will start filming the movie on April 27th. This lines up with other reports in the past and we should be getting an official synopsis and cast once production officially starts.

Universal Studios Owns Solo Hulk Movie Rights
When Marvel announced their entire lineup for Phase 3, many fans were not happy that Hulk or Black Widow were left out of the picture and not getting solo movies of their own. Scarlett Johansson recently stated that conversations are ongoing about how they could tell more of Black Widow's story but the Hulk solo movie is not coming soon it appears. Mark Ruffalo told Collider that Universal still owns the distributing rights for Hulk. That means that Marvel would have to come to an agreement with Universal if they wanted to have the Hulk carry his own franchise.

Captain Marvel Finds Writers
Marvel will finally have a female led movie in 2018 when Captain Marvel joins the MCU. Marvel is actively talking to female directors to take on the project but it appears they have already added two females to the movie. The Tracking Board posted an exclusive this week saying that Marvel is very close to hiring Nicole Perlman and Meg Lefauve as writers for the project. Nicole Perlman helped write a draft for Guardians of the Galaxy so Marvel is very familiar with her work.

Agents of SHIELD Finale, Guest Stars, and More
Agents of SHIELD is quickly approaching the end to the second season and it appears that we are in for a treat. SpoilerTV reiterated an earlier report that the finale will be 2 hours long as Marvel will air episodes 21 and 22 back to back on May 12th. We also finally learned the story of how Melinda May (Ming-Na Wen) got the nickname The Calvary in this week's episode. Cobie Smulders also revealed on Jimmy Kimmel Live that she is returning as Maria Hill at some point this season, but Marvel will probably try and keep which episode it is a surprise. They did however release the synopsis for episode 20, which is the first episode in a post Avengers: Age of Ultron MCU.

First Look at Luke Cage
Luke Cage (Mike Colter) will make his debut in the MCU when AKA Jessica Jones debuts later this year or early 2016. He is set to appear in 6 or 7 episodes and we finally got our first look at him this week. The MCU Exchange found some photos on Tumblr that showed Mike Colter on the set and riding a motorcycle, with a helmet as well. Either Cage is trying to blend in or the man with indestructible skin does not have his powers yet.

Steven DeKnight Talks All Things Daredevil
Now that Daredevil is on Netflix, it has been receiving great reviews (you can read ours here). DeKnight sat down with IGN this week to talk about season 1, the possibilities of a second season, and much more. Reach the highlights of the interview here.

John Ridley Helping Marvel with New TV Series
Last week we learned that Marvel and ABC were developing an Agents of SHIELD spinoff show for the fall. Now, EW is reporting that Oscar winning writer John Ridley has joined Marvel to help them develop another new and secret television series. EW said, "We hear the deal involves reinventing an existing Marvel superhero character or property for ABC—but all sides are staying quiet on exactly which title Ridley is adapting."

Marvel Weekly News #31

Its been a busy week for Marvel news. They are continuing to promote Avengers: Age of Ultron and Daredevil, while also having the rest of the MCU to worry about. Due to such a busy week, this weeks news will be broken down by movie and then sort through all the news that was released on that title. We will touch on the Spider-Man reboot, Inhumans, Avengers: Infinity War, Captain Marvel, Agents of SHIELD, Avengers: Age of Ultron, Daredevil, and AKA Jessica Jones.

Spider-Man
Marvel and Sony have actively been searching for a new Peter Parker, or Miles Morales, and they seem to be targeting very young actors. Thanks to Devin Faraci of Badass Digest, we know that Marvel has held an audition with 16 year old actor Mateus Ward. Marvel and Sony want someone who can be the face of the MCU for the next 15 or so years, so getting such a young actor is a no-brainer. His first solo movie is set to come out in 2017 but he may be getting some screen time and introduction to the MCU in Captain America: Civil War, which begins production soon.

Inhumans
Whether you like Vin Diesel or not, he is a big box office draw. His fans have wanted him to join the MCU for quite some time, so they got their wish when he signed on to voice Groot in Guardians of the Galaxy. At the time, Diesel said this was a way to please his fans but that something bigger may be in store. He has teased him being cast as Black Bolt, the leader of the Inhumans, for years and he did it again this week. He told MTV, "You know, I enjoyed the experience of playing Groot. A lot of it was the great cast, and the genius of James Gunn. But I also enjoyed, you know, entering into the Marvel world. And...good things will come from that."

Another small tidbit was dropped by Da7e on Latino-Review where he said that Marvel is still talking to Adam McKay about directing one of their many future films. McKay was at one point almost committed to directing Ant-Man but instead just helped rewrite the script. Da7e speculates that he could be directing Inhumans, as that makes the most logical choice out of remaining titles without a director in place.

Avengers: Infinity War
After Captain America: The Winter Soldier flipped the MCU upside down, Marvel started negotiations with the films directors Joe and Anthony Russo to keep them around for the foreseeable future. It appears that they have done just that. The brothers are already set to direct Captain America: Civil War and it has now been revealed they have signed on to direct both parts of Avengers: Infinity War. Marvel has yet to confirm this, which was first reported by Devin Faraci of Badass Digest.

Captain Marvel
Depending on who you ask, you will get very different answers to whether or not we will meet Carol Danvers in Avengers: Age of Ultron. Supreme Scooper El Mayimbe says he has been told that she will appear near the end of the movie and that she has in fact already been cast. Who is Carol Danvers is being kept a secret but everyone has a list of their favorite candidates. El Mayimbe seemed to indicate on Twitter that it is not rising star Natalie Dormer.

It has been widely assumed that Captain Marvel will have a female director, with Angelina Jolie even been rumored to have an offer of $20 million to direct. Jeff Sneider from the Wrap dropped a small scoop on Meet the Movie Press that Captain Marvel will indeed have a female director. Sneider says that Marvel is down to two candidates and that we may have announcement before summer begins.

Agents of SHIELD
Agents of SHIELD is picking up steam during a great second season. If you haven't been watching or know someone who stopped during season 1, you all should really reconsider. The ramifications from the events in the show are sure to appear in the larger scale of the MCU. Episode 14 debuted this week which gave us more knowledge of the "Real SHIELD" and brought Ward (Brett Dalton) back to the show. Check out our full review of the episode here.

The poster on the left is a promo for episode 15, "One Door Closes" and brings Mockingbird (Adrianne Palicki) to the forefront.

Marvel also titled and gave the synopsis for episode 17, "Melinda." Read the full synopsis here as we learn how Agent May (Ming-Na Wen) got her nickname of The Calvary.

A small rumor started on Twitter when KDNL ABC30 News shared that the Agents of SHIELD finale may be a 2 hour special. This would certainly be a surprise and fantastic based on the way Marvel has shaped this season. The finale is scheduled to come out May 19th, which is only a few weeks after Avengers: Age of Ultron hits theaters.

Avengers: Age of Ultron
Marvel has continued to promote Avengers: Age of Ultron by shared the above banner plus much more. Marvel also released 13 fun facts about the film that included information on Banner's pants, the Hulkbuster suits development, how they monitor Banner's rage, the Twins, and more. Check out the full list on Comicbook.com.

The studio has also released a new international TV spot for Avengers: Age of Ultron that showed off some new fighting movies by Thor (Chris Hemsworth) and Captain America (Chris Evans).

Buzzfeed was also able to release the information they got from a late set visit. The interview talked to director Joss Whedon, Elizabeth Olsen (Scarlet Witch), and Aaron Taylor-Johnson (Quicksilver). We've already posted the highlights of the interview here but you can also read the entire interview by Buzzfeed for more information.

Daredevil
We are now less than two weeks away from the entire world being able to binge watch Daredevil in its entirety on Netflix. The show will surely see Daredevil (Charlie Cox) and Kingpin (Vincent D'Onofrio) battle with one another but it seems likely that they will each have more friends to help. It remains to be seen who will side with who but Marvel did tease the alliances in the two photos below.

Murdock, Page, Nelson, and Urich Meet

Kingpin and Madame Gao

AKA Jessica Jones
The next series that will debut on Netflix is AKA Jessica Jones, which is currently filming in New York. The venue means that set photos are sure to pop up quite frequently thanks to the many paparazzi nearby. This week gave us some new looks at Jessica Jones (Krysten Ritter) and a potential romantic relationship with Hellcat (Rachael Taylor) and Carrie-Anne Moss' character. Check out more photos from the set here.

updates on Marvel's growing cinematic universe!

10 Actresses We Want to Play Carol Danvers

Even though Captain Marvel is not scheduled to be released for another 3 years, Latino-Review's El Mayimbe has revealed that Marvel has already cast the next leading lady in their universe. Captain Marvel will star the unknown actress as Carol Danvers, but it appears we may be seeing her much sooner.

According to Mayimbe, Danvers will have a small cameo in Avengers: Age of Ultron and could be joining the new look Avengers team that Captain America (Chris Evans) will be leading. Marvel is keeping the casting decision under wraps and it doesn't seem likely that we will find out who will be in that role. As far as I am concerned, that is a good thing. However, that will not stop every single fan from generating their wish lists of who they want in the role.

Here are a few candidates, in no particular order, that I hope Marvel has considered and possibly even gave the role to-

Jessica Chastain
Jessica Chastain is more than qualified to be Carol Danvers. Even though she is 37 and would in her 40s when Captain Marvel hit, she is a fantastic actress and has had great roles in Interstellar, Zero Dark Thirty, and Lawless. She would bring credibility to Marvel's first movie featuring a true female lead. Should Chastain have landed the role it would definitely be exciting for Marvel and fans but hopefully Marvel has decided to go a tad younger.

Katheryn Winnick
Katheryn Winnick looks more like Carol Danvers than maybe any of our other candidates. Winnick is 36 so how long she could pull off and be willing to play Danvers comes into question. She currently is starring in Vikings but has been very vocal on her interest in the part. Starting with the great fan art above, Winnick has stated she'd be willing to go toe to toe with the following candidate in order to land the role.

Katee Sackhoff
Sackhoff is probably highest up on most fan lists after her role in Battlestar Galactica and more roles that brought her into the spotlight of the "nerd" community. Sackhoff is 34 so she could possibly play the next 11 years or so. She certainly looks the part and it would be a big home run for fans and after casting Benedict Cumberbatch as Doctor Strange, Marvel may be willing to listen to their fans.

Emily Blunt
If Marvel wants to get fans excited and decides not to go with Sackhoff, then Emily Blunt would surely do the trick. Blunt is just 32 and coming off of stellar roles in Edge of Tomorrow and Looper and will star alongside fellow Marvel actor Chris Hemsworth next year in The Huntsman. Blunt showed that she can be an action star when she more than held her own alongside Tom Cruise and having her on screen with the likes of Chris Hemsworth, Robert Downey Jr, Chris Evans, and more is truly great image.

Yvonne Strahovski
Much like the previously mentioned Winnick, Yvonne Strahovski looks alone could land her the role. She truly looks very close to Carol Danvers. She made her way into the minds of the geek community with her role in Chuck. There was even a rumor years back from Strahotski.com that she had landed the gig. She is not the most high profiled choice but one that would certainly make sense for both sides.

Natalie Dormer
Yes, yes, yes, I know Dormer played a small role in Captain America: The First Avenger as Pvt. Lorraine, but neither you or I can deny that she would be a great choice to be Carol Danvers. She certainly looks the part and is well liked in the community that Marvel has. She has starred in Game of Thrones as well as The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 1 and 2. Dormer is also only 32 so she could play the role for quite some time. Dormer is also a recognizable face that should she have an unannounced cameo in Avengers: Age of Ultron all kinds of movie goers would know who she is.

Dianna Agron
Dianna Agron is certainly not on many people's radar for this role but she should be. Agron is only 28 and had good performances in I Am Number Four and The Family, as well as also starring in Glee. Not only is she is a good actress but she also very attractive and someone fanboys could likely get behind. The one problem here is her lack of action roles besides a few action sequences in The Family. Does she have what it takes to be a lead in a likely blue screen and CGI heavy film? I don't know, but I do know that she is my personal favorite.

Anna Kendrick
Anna Kendrick may not be a logical choice but I believe she could hold down the fort as Carol Danvers. She's only 29 and sure, she'd have to dye her hair or wear a wig but she has continued to take on more roles in Hollywood since she made her big debut in the Twilight series. She has since done End of Watch, Pitch Perfect, and recently Into the Woods. The latter gave Anna Kendrick the opportunity to work with Disney so she likely could have easily met with Marvel. She was also in the running for Agent 13 so Marvel is interested in and familiar with her.

Olivia Wilde
Wilde is a well established actress and at 31, she has the ability to play the actress for at least the next decade. She got into the geek community with her role in Tron: Legacy before switching to some more dramatic roles in In Time and Rush, where she spent most of her screen time with Thor himself Chris Hemsworth. Wilde has never been connected to Marvel or even expressed interest in a superhero role, but at this point who would really say no to Marvel.

Hayden Panettiere
This is a true long shot as Panettiere has not been in a movie in over three years. She currently stars in Nashville but made her mark starring in Heroes. She has the ability, I believe, to be a leading lady and at only 25 there is room for her talents to grow. She is the youngest candidate on our list and may be the most beautiful. As I said, it would be a long shot and I would still be surprised yet happy should this happen.

Bonus- Eden Sher
I know what you're thinking. The geeky sister from The Middle? Yes, she is not a movie star or have the portfolio that the other candidates do but we do know that she had a secret meeting with Marvel a while back. At the time speculation ran wild that she may be up for the role of Jessica Jones but a young Ms Marvel would also make sense. She'd only be 27 once Captain Marvel hits theaters so there is plenty of time for fans to get on board with this decision, should Marvel go in this direction.

Marvel Weekly News #25

There is only word that could describe this past week for Marvel- amazing. Spider-Man is now a part of the MCU! Among all the Spider-Man news, there was also a rumor of a female director getting eyed to direct a future Marvel movie. Marvel also announced that Lady Sif will return to Agents of SHIELD and a new episode of Agent Carter premiered. Marvel and Sony have started eyeing a potential Peter Parker, Samuel L. Jackson revealed his contract status, there was another addition to the Agents of SHIELD cast, and one Agents of SHIELD character getting promoted.

Angelina Jolie Next Marvel Director?

Earlier this week, OK! Magazine reported that Marvel was looking at Angelina Jolie to direct one of their future movies. According to their report, Marvel offered Jolie a whopping $20 million to direct. If Jolie was chosen to direct a movie, it would likely be Marvel's first female lead movie in Captain Marvel.

Lady Sif Returning to Agents of SHIELD

We are only a few weeks away from the return of Agents of SHIELD and Marvel announced that a guest star from season 1 is coming back. In episode 12, Lady Sif (Jaimie Alexander) will make her second appearance on the show. She will not be herself and will face off against a mysterious super powered person. Read more about here appearance here.

Spider-Man Officially in MCU

After the many reports involved in the Sony Hack, Sony and Marvel finally agreed to terms on Spider-Man being in the MCU. Read more about the ground breaking deal here. The result of Spider-Man joining the MCU meant that Marvel had to change some release dates.

Agent Carter EP 6

Agent Carter's first season is coming to a close and this week the sixth of eight episodes premiered. With Peggy on the run from both the SSR and Dottie, she had her hands full. Read my full review of the episode here.

O'Brien and Lerman Eyed for Spider-Man

With Sony and Marvel striking a deal for Spider-Man, they need a new actor to portray Peter Parker. I've made a list of Five Possible Spider-Man Actors that I'd like to see be the next Peter Parker, and it appears that Sony and Marvel agree about two of them. The Hollywood Reporter and Variety are reporting that Dylan O'Brien and my top choice Logan Lerman are being considered for the role.

Samuel L. Jackson's Contract Status

Nick Fury has been the man to hold the Marvel cinematic universe together since his first post credit appearance in Iron Man. He is set to appear in Avengers: Age of Ultron which will mark his sixth movie appearance. This week Samuel L. Jackson told IGN that he only has two more movies left on his contract. He will likely appear in Captain America: Civil War and that would leave one appearance on his current contract. Jackson said he would be up for more should Marvel extend his contract.

Drea de Matteo Joins Agents of SHIELD

Agents of SHIELD has been impressive during the first 10 episodes of its second season and it has beefed up the cast before it returns from the winter break. They've added the likes of Blair Underwood, Luke Mitchell, and Edward James Olmos and now have added one more. Drea de Matteo has also joined the cast as a villain. Read more about her addition here.

Mockingbird Promoted to Season Regular

When it was announced that Adrianne Palicki would be portraying Mockingbird in Agents of SHIELD, it was speculated that her role would eventually become more. She has now been promoted to a season regular on the show. Hopefully we will get to see much more of Mockingbird on the small screen as well as the big screen.

Marvel Changes Phase 3 Release Dates

After Sony and Marvel agreed on a deal for Spider-Man, they had to do some shuffling. The first Spider-Man solo movie of the MCU will come out on July 28, 2017. The problem with that was Thor: Ragnarok was already scheduled to come out that day.

Marvel has pushed back 4 movies to make room the new Spider-Man reboot. They have decided to move Thor: Ragnarok, Black Panther, Captain Marvel, and Inhumans.

Thor: Ragnarok is now scheduled to come out November 3, 2017. Black Panther is set to be the first film after Avengers: Infinity War Part 1 and premiere July 6, 2018. Their first female led movie Captain Marvel follows with a release date on November 2, 2018. The last move was moving Inhumans from before Avengers: Infinity War Part 2 to after with a July 12, 2019 release date.

The moving dates mean we get to see more of Spider-Man sooner, but that Marvel is pushing back the releases of their first female led film, a film lead by a black character, and the Inhumans, a race that is currently being introduced in Agents of SHIELD.

updates on Marvel's growing cinematic universe!

Marvel Weekly News #14

This was a relatively slow week for Marvel. This will be one of the shorter posts so far. This week's news dealt with a fan favorite speaking out on her willingness to play Captain Marvel, new footage for Agent Carter, Gwyneth Paltrow on her role in Captain America: Civil War, whether or not we will see Nova in Guardians of the Galaxy 2, and another possible addition to the cast of Captain America: Civil War.

Emily Blunt Up For Captain Marvel

Emily Blunt has been doing press tours for her upcoming movie Into the Woods. In an interview with ScreenCrush this week, they asked Blunt about her desire to play Captain Marvel in the future movie. Blunt has been a popular fan choice for the role and even she wants to play the part. Blunt said, "If it’s an awesome part, it doesn't matter if it’s a Marvel movie or a tiny movie, I’d be up for it." She went on to say that she has not received any calls for the part so we will just have to wait and see.

New Agent Carter Footage

We are just over a month away from the premiere of Marvel's new television series Agent Carter. Marvel is starting to release more clips to see Peggy Carter in action. Check out the two clips below.

Gwyneth Paltrow Wants Civil War Role

Gwyneth Paltrow has been with Marvel since the very beginning. She has been in Iron Man, Iron Man 2, Iron Man 3, and Avengers. As you can see, she has been in every movie that Robert Downey Jr. has been in. It's unknown if she will be in Avengers: Age of Ultron but it's likely she will be in some capacity. It's hard to picture Tony Stark without Pepper Potts, which brings us to Paltrow's desire to be along side Downey again in Captain America: Civil War. She spoke to DishNation this week about the possibility and said, "My fingers are crossed. I would love to be Pepper Potts again at some point in my life." 

No Nova in Guardians 2

The once risky property of Guardians of the Galaxy has turned into a huge hit, thanks in part to director James Gunn. Gunn is now working hard on the sequel and has spoken about his desire for more characters in Guardians of the Galaxy 2. One character that everyone wants to see in the movie is Nova. Unfortunately for Nova and fans of the character, he will not be appearing in Guardians of the Galaxy 2. Gunn took to Facebook to confirm this as he responded to a fan question. Gunn said that Nova does not currently serve a purpose to the story, right now.

Maria Hill Could Appear in Civil War

As I was writing this, another rumor popped up saying that Cobie Smulders could return as Maria Hill in Captain America: Civil War. The rumor comes from Spanish sites elmulticine and Cinemax. They both claim that Smulders will in fact return as Maria Hill for the epic Civil War storyline.
