Will be interesting if the core Avengers aren't in Avengers 3, not sure who else they can use other than the guardians?

[RADIOACTIVE MAN]

They should head towards the new avengers ,wolverine etc

[chiba]

marvel and sony are in talks about perhaps sharing spiderman?
hopefully marvel can buy spidey back!
something about how the spidey franchise isnt doing as good as the marvel franchises!
depending how that deal goes the sinister 6 movie (amazing spidey 3)
will mostly be about the villains linking up and might not feature spidey.

also, theres talks about reshuffling the avengers line up after avengers 3
so we may see spidey and wolverine added to the line up with scarlett witch and quick silver

hopefully fantastic 4 stays away from all the universes
that movie is looking and sounding more like chronicle 2 movie than a fan 4 movie

as for deadpool? will the movie be CGI like the test footage or will it be live action? Im guessing live action ?

Spider-Man Rumored To Return To Marvel Studios & The Avengers

It's once again being stated that the Amazing Spider-Man might be returning home to Marvel Studios and The Avengers.

The news comes from Entertainment Weekly who says sources of their own are stating it's a possibility a few years from now.

According to the report both Sony and Marvel have denied such a thing happening and refused to comment.

The gist of the report states that if the Sinister Six movie tanks, then it looks as if Sony will either return Spider-Man to Disney, or Marvel will offer some assistance to step in and help out (possibly some sort of partnership).

Marvel Studios president and producer Kevin Feige is already involved as he is listed as an executive producer on the Amazing Spider-Man films, and Disney and Sony do share the film and merchandising rights.

There has also been added pressure by a Sony executive to sell the rights to Spider-Man amid Sony's declining revenue base.

In addition, Sony has let Daredevil, Ghost Rider and Punisher return to Marvel, with Marvel using Daredevil as the flagship of their new Netflix series.

The Amazing Spider-Man franchise has been under heat due to the performances of the new Marc Webb movies featuring Andrew Garfield. While the films have been averaging about $700 million at the box office, it's guessed Sony probably is desiring the franchise to make around a billion, and the films have been getting negative reviews. In addition, Spider-Man has been put on hold for Sinister Six and Venom, with the next Spidey movie not due out until 2018 (it's guessed Spidey will be featured in Sinister Six as Sony needs to use the character every three years or the rights revert to Disney).

Sinister Six has a November 11, 2016 release date, with Venom said to be hitting in 2017.

I'd like to see what they with daredevil!

recasted several times. The last punisher was pretty good tho.

ghost rider ...well...maybe a reboot in a couple of years
hopefully they make it as dark as blade 1 and 2

hopefully spidey goes back to marvel
thats one character they have to do justice to
i like the new spiderman with gafield in it.

Robert Downey Jr. to Join ‘Captain America 3′ (EXCLUSIVE)

Film to kick off the Civil War storyline from the comicbook miniseries
Marc Graser
Senior Editor @marcgraser

Robert Downey Jr. is on the verge of signing on to “Captain America 3,” with Tony Stark’s Iron Man set to play a key role in bringing the Civil War storyline from Marvel’s comicbooks to the bigscreen and trigger the start of a new phase of movies from Marvel Studios.

The actor is in final negotiations to play the billionaire in the yet-to-be-titled third installment, that is slated to begin production in the Spring for a May 6, 2016, release. Downey suits up as the superhero in next summer’s “The Avengers: Age of Ultron” as part of a previous deal that also calls for him to reprise the role in “The Avengers 3.”

The new pact is significant for the Marvel cinematic universe considering the plot will pit Stark against Captain America’s alter-ego Steve Rogers, played by Chris Evans, as they feud over the Superhero Registration Act, which forces anyone with superhuman abilities to reveal their identities to the U.S. government and agree to act as a police force for the authorities.

Stark supports the program, but Rogers does not, saying it threatens civil liberties, causing sides to be taken and Rogers, among others, to go on the run to avoid arrest. The moral question and battle with his Avengers teammate essentially makes Stark a villain of sorts in “Captain America 3,” providing Downey with a meaty role he could play out into future Marvel films, including a fourth “Avengers.”

Marvel on Monday announced plans to reboot the Civil War comicbook miniseries in 2015, which will help introduce the story to new readers leading up to “Captain America 3.” The first crossover of Marvel’s biggest characters, including Spider-Man, was published in 2006.

But the deal for Downey to return as Iron Man almost didn’t happen.

Originally, Marvel wanted to hire Downey for a small role, which would have required just three weeks of work. But Downey wanted Stark to have a more substantial role in the film’s plot, which would give him more screen time and naturally a bigger payday. This angered Marvel Entertainment chief Ike Perlmutter, who ordered the screenwriters to write Iron Man out of the script entirely, according to sources with knowledge of the situation.

Even though the deal appeared dead, Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige and Downey’s reps at CAA continued talks in hopes of working out their issues. Feige was bent on executing his grand vision for extending the life of the Marvel characters over many years.

The executive needed his boss to see the big picture, considering the introduction of the Civil War story is seen as a way to drive the plots of sequels and new franchises for the next seven years, given the dramatic possibilities it offers for future films. The fallout from the government and Stark’s actions would factor into a new “Avengers 4″ film and beyond that will assemble new characters being introduced like Ant-Man and Doctor Strange, among others, in their own movies.

Downey, who earned $50 million for “The Avengers” alone, will collect around $40 million plus backend participation for “Captain America 3,” said sources, and will get an additional payout if “Captain America 3″ outperforms “Captain America: The Winter Soldier’s” $714 million worldwide haul. Since the actor did not appear in the first two “Captain America” films, the thinking is that if the third installment surpasses the last movie, its success could be attributed to Downey.

It’s also worth noting that Evans is clearly a bigger star now, evidenced by the fact that “Captain America: The Winter Soldier” grossed nearly twice as much as “The First Avenger’s”” $371 million in 2011.

Marvel still could have worked around Downey if need be. With the studio having already reworked plots from the comicbooks to fit its bigscreen agenda, it’s certainly feasible that Stark could have been turned into a different character to butt heads with Captain America — the Incredible Hulk’s Bruce Banner, for example. Another option could have been dropping the Civil War plot entirely, which would have required major rewrites.

Downey already has been open about wanting to remain in Marvel’s cinematic universe beyond his current contract that expires after the third “Avengers.” In early September, Downey told Variety in Toronto that currently “there is no plan for a fourth ‘Iron Man.'”

Yet Downey also has been wanting to play a larger role in future films as a way to remain creatively involved and close to his fanbase that would undoubtedly come out to see his non-Marvel movies. However, those fans didn’t show up in droves this past weekend to the actor’s latest picture “The Judge,” which debuted with just $13.3 million.

As for the future of Marvel movies, the Disney-owned studio already has 11 releases dated through 2019, including next summer’s “Avengers: Age of Ultron” and “Ant-Man.”

Anthony and Joe Russo, who directed “Captain America: The Winter Soldier,” will return to helm “Captain America 3.” The brothers are working on the script with Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeely.

While Frank Grillo is expected to return as the villain Crossbones, Anthony Russo told Movies.com last month, “I can’t divulge who is going to be in the film, but I think fans are going to freak out when they hear about it,” clearly hinting at Downey being in the next sequel.

While Downey was instrumental in getting Marvel’s film franchises off the ground with the first “Iron Man” in 2008, the studio has since become a brand strong enough to launch titles that have little built-in audience awareness or major stars doing the heavy lifting — as evidenced by this summer’s mega-hit “Guardians of the Galaxy.” That film earned $687 million worldwide, surpassing “Iron Man 2.”

Marvel has long been known as a tough negotiator — and by some accounts cheap — but the studio hasn’t shied away from giving Downey what he’s asked for in the past. He’s reaped between $250 million and $300 million for the “Iron Man” trilogy, his role in “The Avengers” films, and a brief appearance in “The Incredible Hulk,” according to knowledgeable sources.

Now with “Captain America 3,” it doesn’t look like Downey is ready to hang up Iron Man’s suit anytime soon.

Marvel and CAA declined to comment.
