I agree that the "First Avenger" costume looked better than Cap's "Avengers" costume. They really should've just stuck with that one, or at least that basic design (could've explained that the materials had been upgraded or whatever, but kept the same basic look).

The new one only looked decent without the helmet/mask. I thought it looked fine when Evans was unmasked, but the helmet just doesn't look right.

That's key- actors cant just remain available forever while a studio dicks around and actor's contracts for other films conflictiing with filming schedules can kill a sequel as easily as anything else.

Disney wont screw up IM3 and Thor2 to cash in early on a Avengers sequel.

Not saying this will happen, but your going to get The Avengers 2 a lot sooner....and yes the actors can remain cause they signed multi picture deals.....they just move things around....I think they would rather have the money the avengers made over what Thor made.....

Actually I think they would like to have any additional profit. Thor made more than Cap did and both made more than it cost to make and market the movies. Disney will not rush Avengers 2 when it really doesn't need to.

I predict more people will now watch the individual films in hopes of seeing if any more will tie into Avengers 2 even if none of them do. Not to mention you probably spend less making individual movies than a full on Avengers movie and still come out strong in revenue. All this spells BIG BUCKS for Disney and Marvel.

Cap is already scheduled for release May of 2014. Avengers 2 will be another summer release and Marvel/Disney will not have it compete against one of their own movies.

Avengers will most likely be a 2015 Summer release. Good news is that there will be plenty of Marvel/Avengers related films in between to tide everyone over until then.

Schedules can change...The Avengers was supposed to come out in 2011, but didnt. Fact is things can always change dates and the way things come out.

I Doubt GOTG or Antman are going to be popular with the Mainstream public.

If I was head of Disney Id be thinking about whats going to bring the non Comic book fans in....and GOTG and Antman would not!!!

Cap comes out in April 4th of 2014 not May.....and that would make it a great leadoff for the Avengers in May of that year.

A 3 year wait for a movie this big is kinda dumb and both movies could help each other....say Cap has very important plot elements that directly lead into the Avengers....

To me Cap was more tied into the Avengers movie then the others....First Avenger, Cube...

Thor and IM have a world with in a world in their movies....Cap is almost alone except for Shield. Cap has more potential to build themes through out the movie that Thor and IM wont.....that could lead right into the Avengers....more so then end credit scenes would.



Back to the Future 2 and 3 came out I think 5 months apart and as a kid that was soooo cool.

The thing about Thor and Cap was that they had completely different actors and production teams. All the characters in Avengers are basically in other movies, so you can't have them working on both films at the same time. It just doesn't work that way.

You could do Iron Man 3 and Thor 2 in the same summer, etc, but not anything with Avengers really.

Umm yes you could.....its not like Cap is in every scene for the Avengers

And heres a news flash Actors shoot two movies at the same time more then you think Kristien Stewert for one....


Most of the time they work on one movie at a time. On rare ocassions they arrange to schedule filming two movies simultaneously. That requires traveling between film site 1 to film site 2.

Has and can will be done.....Fact is Marvel has an unnamed project set for may 2014.......

With Chris Evans only playing one character this is very easy to do. Will it happen most likely not, but impossible to do no...

Plus didn't the last 2 Harry Potter movies get filmed at the same time, so couldn't they do it with IM, CA and Avenger's incorporating everything all at once. Heck seems more efficient that way too.

When you're only dealing with one actor, yes they can work on two films at the same time. But with an Avengers film, you'd be dealing with several actors, not just one. It can be done, certainly, but it would take a fair amount of precise scheduling. And there's always the possibility of production delays that can muck up things too. Which is the reason actors who work on multiple films at once do not work on multiple big-budget films at the same time.

In fact, I'm sure a lot of actors would love to work on multiple films at once (both for the experience and the money), but I would imagine that scheduling usually prevents this.

Besides, I don't think Marvel or Disney are that desperate for Avengers 2 that they would burn bridges with the actors and crews just to have a turnaround in two years. Not when they already have plans in the works for IM3, Thor 2 and Cap 2.



The Deathly Hallows films were different, as it was two halves of one long story. So basically it was the equivalent of one 4-hour-long movie instead of two separate films (with separate story arcs). Mostly it's due to the change in format. Very few people would want to sit through a 4 hour film, but will happily sit and read a 700-page novel.

The same thing is true for the Lord of the Rings trilogy. Technically it's all one book/movie, but it was broken up into three parts (which was originally due to a suggestion by Tolkien's publisher). Breaking Dawn is another example of one long narrative broken into two films due to the change in medium.

Cap and Fury.......its not like the rest of the Avengers would show up in Cap.
