Forget Secrecy: Joss Whedon Casually, 100% Confirms Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver for The Avengers 2

by Susana Polo | 4:12 pm, May 17th, 2013

Unlike some filmmakers we could mention *cough*nolanandabrams*cough*, Joss Whedon is willing to just drop something pretty big and interesting about a project that isn’t due to hit theaters for two years yet. I’m not saying there isn’t room for more than one way to talk about your movie while it’s in production, I’m just saying…

I’m just saying it’s exciting to hear that we’re getting at least two female superheroes in The Avengers 2.

More Hints at Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch in The Avengers 2

by Susana Polo | 11:46 am, May 2nd, 2013

With Joss Whedon‘s mention, on the red carpet of Iron Man 3‘s Los Angeles premiere, that he’d managed to “lock” in his favorite brother/sister characters into the script for The Avengers 2, comics fans were very surprised, for a semi-complicated reason. It seemed very much like Whedon was hinting at the roles of Wanda and Pietro Maximoff, alias Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver, reformed members of a terrorist group who were a major part of the second incarnation of the Avengers, lead by Captain America.

What’s surprising about this is that Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver are mutants, and were long thought to probably be characters that Marvel Entertainment couldn’t touch due to licensing agreements that left the X-Men and their supporting characters with Fox Studios. But was Whedon really hinting at Magneto’s wayward twins, or at a different sibling pair? According to Entertainment Weekly’s sources, it’s mutants all the way down.

Agent Coulson Will Stay Dead if Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. Doesn’t Get Picked Up; Good Thing It’s Going to Get Picked Up

by Susana Polo | 12:14 pm, April 26th, 2013

I don’t know. They haven’t told me. Honestly, they haven’t told me the answer yet. I certainly would be sad if it didn’t because I have a feeling it would mean that Coulson didn’t live anymore. But yeah, I think we made a good pilot. Joss knows what he’s doing, and other writers, his brother Jed and Jed’s wife Maurissa are amazing. I think we’ve got a shot. — Clark Gregg, when asked whether Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. is being picked up by ABC.

So far as I know, nobody at ABC has a deadly allergic reaction to money, so AoSHIELD will happen. And if they do, well, investing in an epipen or separate lunch tables is probably less costly than not picking up a television show based on the third highest grossing movie in history.

The Avengers 2 Might Bring Mutants to the Marvel Cinematic Universe

by Susana Polo | 11:44 am, April 25th, 2013

The Iron Man 3 had its Los Angeles premiere last night, and that means that there were plenty of folks with an inside line on the future of the Marvel Cinematic Universe walking down a gauntlet of reporters. It’s probably inevitable that somebody would drop a bombshell on the red carpet. When the dust cleared, Joss Whedon was standing alone, in his hand a direct quote about how the first draft of The Avengers 2 he’d locked in a new brother/sister duo for the film.

Before you go out and cross reference sibling teams and the Avengers in comics, you should probably just be told that the very likely culprits are Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver. Which is very, very interesting from a licensing standpoint. I swear.

Stars Shine At The Iron Man 3 Red Carpet But Robert Downey Jr. Doesn’t Wear Anything Fun

by Jill Pantozzi | 10:16 am, April 25th, 2013

Last night we posted a livestream of the Iron Man 3 premiere from the El Capitan Theatre in Hollywood. Today, Disney has graciously shared some images from the red carpet and after party. I guess I was spoiled by Robert Downey Jr. in lederhosen but I’m a little let down he didn’t wear anything wacky. Take a look at the stars from the film and see who else popped up from the Marvel Universe.

Joss Whedon Is “Not Going To Try And Match The Box Office” Of The Avengers With Its Sequel

by Jill Pantozzi | 11:45 am, April 15th, 2013

Part of me forgot Joss Whedon was already in the thick of planning The Avengers 2. Perhaps it’s because we’ve been focused on developments as they pertain to Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. lately. Regardless, the director recently discussed how things are going with that highly-anticipated film.
