Need to check the first out now.

Doesn't say anything that they are the big bads. More likely than not, they're anti-heroes in the avenger rosters since all Joss said was that they create tension within the avengers and/or don't agree with what avengers say/believe. If they were to be the bad guys, they'd would have to bring up magneto and mutant aspect and that's not going to happen. The whole point bringing them in is because they were some of the oldest all time members of the Avengers.disneyboy20022 wrote:It's been confirmed that Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch will actually be villains. I suspect possibly that they work for Thanos?

No, it's just that those two are the only exceptions in being in marvel cinematic movie universe because those two are big profile Avenger members even long back. Scarlet Witch is like one of the oldest and longest member of the Avengers.Disney's Divinity wrote:I've been completely out on The Avengers and its sequel, but I had no idea X-Men was involved in this.
Well, Spider-Man is actually in the Avengers at some point in the comics... and I would DIE seeing Andrew Garfield as Spider-Man interact with Stark. Ahhh he would fit in so well.PatrickvD wrote:I'm not familiar with the Marvel character universe at all, but I wish the rights to these charaters were all at Disney/Marvel.

I'm not saying Spider-Man or whatever should join the Avengers sequels somewhere down the line, but it would be nice if they had the freedom to include whoever they want.
He and Wolverine are in the Avengers even right now. And have been before int he past too.Patrick wrote:Well, Spider-Man is actually in the Avengers at some point in the comics... and I would DIE seeing Andrew Garfield as Spider-Man interact with Stark.

Isn't the Thing a member, too? I have to admit that I stopped paying attention a while ago.Super Aurora wrote:He and Wolverine are in the Avengers even right now.

Either something incredible or something terrible is brewing in the world of comic book movies. As he has been doing for the last few months, director Bryan Singer has taken to his Twitter feed to make a major announcement, this time revealing that Evan Peters of American Horror Story is a late addition to the cast of X-Men: Days of Future Past. But while that in and of itself isn't very shocking news, it's the character he will be playing that makes this whole situation a head-scratcher. According to the director, Peters will be playing the role of Quicksilver, one of the two new superheroes that Joss Whedon has been promising for Marvel Studios' The Avengers 2.
As we've previously written about, Quicksilver and his comic book sister Scarlet Witch exist in a strange area from a rights perspective. Both of them are known for being members of The Avengers, which means that the rights to use them belong to Marvel Studios; but on the other hand they are also mutants, which means that 20th Century Fox (the studio behind all of the X-Men movies) can use them too. If Marvel uses them the catch is that they can never be referred to as mutants.
The reason why I say that this is either incredible or terrible is because this could either be seen as an aggressive move on Fox's part or perhaps an opportunity to crossover. It's entirely possible that Fox is forcing Quicksilver into X-Men: Days of Future Past because they want to take ownership of the character, knowing that their movie will be out in 2014 and that Avengers 2 is scheduled for 2015. Or perhaps this is Fox sticking out an Olive branch - maybe Whedon will cast Peters as his Quicksilver as well? In Singer's Tweet he does write, "Before he was an #Avenger, he was just a REALLY fast kid. Thrilled to say #EvanPeters is joining #XMen #DaysOfFuturePast as #Quicksilver." Obviously this is a developing situation and hopefully more details will be revealed.

XETL9.dpufFirst up, is some news on Disney and Marvel’s slate, starting with CAPTAIN AMERICA: THE WINTER SOLDIER, which our source says is pretty much a sequel to THE AVENGERS and plays the biggest role in leading into THE AVENGERS 2. In addition, the sequel will go more in-depth on Black Widow’s back story and gadgetry (which she barely used in THE AVENGERS or IRON MAN 2). Sounds like the red in her ledger will finally be exposed.
Joss Whedon confirms that the movie shares only a title with the comic book event, and will instead be a totally original story. However, it WON'T feature Hank Pym and it sounds as if he will be a creation of Iron Man's! Hawkeye is also set to have a much larger role in the "global" sequel.
Marvel caught up with Joss Whedon (what follows is my own transcription of their conversation as it has yet to be released officially after airing just moments ago on their live blog) at the San Diego Comic-Con to talk all things The Avengers: Age of Ultron. Surprisingly, the writer and director revealed a lot more than any of us may have expected! After saying that he always wanted to use Ultron as the villain in a sequel, Whedon would go on to clear up some misconceptions that the title has caused. "Well, because there was a book called 'Age of Ultron' quite recently, a lot of people have assumed that is what we're doing, but that is not the case. We're doing our own version of the origin story for Ultron. In the origin story, there was Hank Pym, so a lot of people assumed that he will be in the mix. He's not. We're basically taking the things from the comics for the movies that we need and can use. A lot of stuff has to fall by the wayside."
So, if Hank Pym doesn't create Ultron, who does? Well, Tony Stark seems to be the most obvious candidate, especially after Iron Man 3 showed that he had managed to create sentient versions of his armour. "We're crafting our own version of it where his origin comes more directly from The Avengers we already know about. It's a little bit darker than the other film because Ultron is in the house. There's a science fiction theme that wasn't there in the other one. Ultron is definitely something that evolves, so we're going to get together a couple of different iterations. Nothing can be translated exactly as it was from the comics; particularly Ultron." Finally, he was asked about the scale of the movie and which character he is most enjoying writing and revealed: "It's very much a global Avengers film. A lot of the movie has to do with their place not just in America, but the world. Part of the fun for me, definitely this time around, is writing Hawkeye. He did get possessed pretty early by a bad guy and had to walk around all scowly for most of the movie so now it's nice to actually have the character there and see him interact with the other guys."
