Animated Marvel Cinematic Universe Project In Development

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:19938:]]

At one time it was reported the Guardians of the Galaxy movie was actually going to be animated.

While that obviously didn’t turn out to be true, it has now become known an animated project to be set in the Marvel Cinematic Universe is in development (note: the upcoming Guardians of the Galaxy animated series is not connected to the movie).

Newsarama reports during the final day of the Emerald City Comic Con at the “Marvel Animation Presents” panel, Marvel’s VP of Animation Development and Production Cort Lane confirmed an animated project is in the works.

Next, a fan asks about whether the animation team will produce something that takes place in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

“I can’t announce anything, but things are in the works,” said Lane, calling out the upcoming Netflix series as a proof of concept for things that tie-in to the larger world.

Nothing else was said about the project, but it will be interesting to see what they do with an animated version of the MCU. Will the animated series/movies use existing characters? Or introduce new characters similar to the above mentioned Netflix series? Perhaps a mix of both?

No Avengers 2 Post-Credit Scene Or Captain Marvel

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:19936:]]

Joss Whedon and Kevin Feige have let it be known The Avengers 2 will not have a post-credit scene.

It’s also confirmed that Captain Marvel Carol Danvers will not be appearing.

Speaking with EW.com, Whedon offered they didn’t want to top the post-credit scene from The Avengers featuring the shawarma scene.

 “We all came at it separately—we don’t want to chase that,” Whedon says. “That was a jewel and a weird little quirk. “

Marvel Studios president and producer Kevin Feige does offer there will be a short epilogue scene shortly after the credits.

“There will be a tag,” Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige clarifies. That is, there will be a short, epilogue-like scene that pops up shortly after the credits start. “But there’s not a post-post-credit scene. 

With Whedon continuing:

“There is nothing at the very end. And that’s not a fake-out,” Whedon says. “We want people to know so they don’t sit there for 10 minutes and then go: ‘Son of a bitch! I’ll kill them!’”

While Feige does say Captain Marvel won’t be featured, he does confirm a “secret” female character, described as one who may be familiar already.

 “It’s not a big deal. But it’s a good character,”

Avengers 2 Announced For Jimmy Kimmel & GMA

Robert Downey Jr. happens to be 0 for 2 in my book as the actor’s Facebook page teased a “Big Avengers Announcement” on Good Morning America.

However, the “big announcement” was just another announcement that the cast of the Avengers will be appearing on Jimmy Kimmel on April 13th and a later Good Morning America episode on April 24th (both owned by Disney).

On today’s GMA, they showed off a bit of the new footage from the Avengers 2 trailer and revealed the “puzzle” pieces to be none other than a teaser announcement for GMA and Kimmel.

Robert Downey Jr Teases Big Avengers Announcement Again

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:19932:]]

Maybe this is the big announcement Robert Downey Jr. previously teased?

If you recall, RDJ took this his Facebook page a little over a month ago to tease a big announcement was coming.

However, the 8 days RDJ teased came and went and all we got was a Marvel social network employee making excuses.

Now Robert Downey Jr. is back at it (or his social network people) as the official RDJ Twitter account has teased a big Avengers announcement for tomorrow.

The good news is this time the info is backed up by Good Morning America as apparently the big Avengers announcement will be made on the ABC show (Disney owns ABC).

In addition, the Twitter accounts of Robert Downey Jr., Good Morning America and Marvel included teaser images, which appear to be Iron Man, Hawkeye and Captain America related.

The images also appear to have some sort of text.

Any ideas? Maybe the start of production for Captain America: Civil War?

Update: The announcement has been revealed to be another announcement.

“The Avengers: Age Of Ultron” hits May 1, 2015 directed by Joss Whedon starring Robert Downey Jr., Chris Evans, Chris Hemsworth, Scarlett Johansson, Mark Ruffalo, Jeremy Renner, Samuel L.

The Avengers 2 Character Descriptions Reveal New Details

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:19913:]]

In addition to the fun facts, a batch of Avengers 2 character descriptions have been released revealing new details.

Tony Stark/Iron Man (Robert Downey Jr.). Brash but brilliant billionaire Tony Stark returns, still struggling with the emotional fallout from the Battle of New York that took place in “The Avengers.” Tony is now bankrolling his Super Hero dream-team in an ongoing effort to protect the world from the evil forces that he knows are out there. Stark carries the weight of the world on his shoulders, which leads him to team up with Bruce Banner to create Ultron as the ultimate peacekeeping program.

Bruce Banner/The Hulk (Mark Ruffalo) is back and ready to be unleashed as The Avengers’ not-so-secret weapon. He has embraced the Hulk and is now an important part of the team, although surprising protocols have been put in place to make sure Hulk doesn’t ever get out of hand in a conflict. Banner worked alongside Tony Stark to develop the Ultron program as a peacekeeping initiative.

Steve Rogers/Captain America (Chris Evans) has fully embraced the mantle of team leader, but with the unraveling of S.H.I.E.L.D. in “Captain America: The Winter Soldier,” he continues to reconcile with what he has lost in a world he does not totally recognize. Outmatched and on the run, he must find a way to rally The Avengers and find a way to defeat the terrifying Ultron.

Natasha Romanoff/Black Widow (Scarlett Johansson) returns to the fray as the deadly and beautiful super-spy turned hero. Her intelligence, resources and lethal fighting ability far outweigh her lack of “super” powers. With the threat of Ultron looming, Natasha will need to confront the demons of her shadowy past and draw strength from her teammates to defeat him.

Thor (Chris Hemsworth). The Asgardian God of Thunder returns as Earth’s sworn protector. More brash and powerful than ever, Thor serves as the moral compass for the team and continues his personal quest to find the identity of his brother’s secret ally while also warning his teammates of threats that are bigger than any of them can imagine.

Clint Barton/Hawkeye (Jeremy Renner). A skilled and accurate archer, Hawkeye is one of the team’s most lethal operatives. After having his mind controlled by Loki in “The Avengers,” Hawkeye returns to the team in fully functional mode, complete with more advanced weaponry.

Pietro Maximoff/Quicksilver (Aaron Taylor-Johnson) has the power of super-speed. He is fiercely protective of his twin sister Wanda and will do anything to defend his war-torn home of Sokovia. Along with his sister, he volunteered for a secret program and gained his speed through Baron Strucker’s experimentation with an unusual power source.

Wanda Maximoff/Scarlet Witch (Elizabeth Olsen) is the beautiful and mysterious twin sister of Pietro. Possessing the powers of mental manipulation and telekinesis, Wanda as Scarlet Witch is able to attack her enemies from the inside out. Along with her brother, she is the product of Baron Strucker’s experiment.

Ultron (James Spader) is a technological super villain the likes of which have never been seen. Unhinged and terrifying, Ultron is born out of a corrupted pilot program that Tony Stark and Bruce Banner created to help usher in peace on Earth. When their programming went haywire, Ultron came to life with the goal to save the planet by eliminating the biggest threat to it—humanity. He will stop at nothing to see this goal realized and promises to kill The Avengers for daring to try to stop him.

Nick Fury (Samuel L. Jackson), the man that first brought The Avengers together, is now disavowed and living in hiding after the events of “Captain America: The Winter Soldier.” Nevertheless, Fury continues to be an important mentor and leader for our team of heroes.

The Vision (Paul Bettany) is a powerful and mysterious android that is raw, dangerous and uncontrollable.

Ulysses Klaue (Andy Serkis) is a black-market arms dealer, smuggler and gangster operating out of South Africa. He is a former acquaintance of Tony Stark’s from his weapons-dealing days and a powerful new player in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

Baron Strucker (Thomas Kretschmann) is a brilliant HYDRA scientist who worked under the cover of S.H.I.E.L.D. for far too long. Human experimentation, advanced robotics and artificial intelligence are just a few of the things Strucker is working on when Wanda and Pietro Maximoff volunteer for his program.

Dr. Helen Cho (Claudia Kim) is a world-renowned geneticist and an ally of The Avengers. From her offices in Seoul, South Korea, to sharing workspace with Bruce Banner in his lab at Avengers Tower, Dr. Cho’s research and technology help keep The Avengers in the fight.

James Gunn Updates Guardians of the Galaxy 2

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:19892:]]

Update: Gunn held another QnA where he revealed Guardians of the Galaxy 2 will start filming February 2016 at Pinewood Studios in Atlanta, Georgia.

 

James Gunn recently gave the new Periscope App a test drive where he answered questions regarding Guardians of the Galaxy 2, Marvel and other topics.

Gunn has been busy developing the sequel, in which he previously let it be known Marvel thought his latest approach was “risky.”

Screen Rant caught the QnA and jotted down the following:

Gunn has submitted his treatment for Guardians of the Galaxy 2 to Marvel brass.

He has a follow-up meeting this Friday about the treatment and will begin the actual screenplay in about a week, in which he later added he is about 70 pages into it.

Gunn confirmed that Ronan is dead and that “not everything is going to happen in the movies as same as the comics.”

Gunn said fans will get to know the Guardians in the sequel in a “deeper way.”

Guardians of the Galaxy 2 will be in 3D.

Gunn offered they don’t do motion-capture work for Rocket and Groot, they just reference images at times.

They may have figured a way for Karen Gillan not to shave her head for Nebula.

Regarding the writing process of both movies, Gunn said he plots out the whole story, and then writes it after.

Other tidbits mentioned include:

Gunn has seen and liked Avengers 2; “lept for joy” about Spider-Man joining Marvel; current favorite comics are Silver Surfer, Wolverines and Secret Avengers; “really dug” the Fantastic Four trailer; would never direct an X-Men movie, and his favorite villain is Heath Ledger’s Joker.

“Guardians of the Galaxy 2” has a May 5, 2017 release date.

Joss Whedon Reveals The Avengers 2 Run-Time

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:19843:]]

Contrary to earlier reports that The Avengers 2 would be nearly three hours in length, it’s learned Age Of Ultron is actually shorter than the first Avengers movie.

Joss Whedon spoke with BuzzFeed and confirmed The Avengers: Age Of Ultron run-time is one-minute shorter than the first movie, coming in at 142 minutes, when discussing Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver:

“They don’t like America, and they don’t like the Avengers,” Whedon told BuzzFeed News many months later while in the final weeks of post-production on the movie. “We only touch on it briefly — there was more. When the movie was an hour longer, everything got explained a lot.” (According to Whedon, Age of Ultron clocks in a full minute shorter than its predecessor, or roughly 142 minutes, debunking rumors that it is nearly three hours long.) “The Avengers are like a world power, and not everybody’s on board with the Avengers coming in and starting fights, even in the name of justice,” he continued. “So you need that dissenting voice, and you need to understand it and sympathize with it.” 

“The Avengers: Age Of Ultron” hits May 1, 2015 directed by Joss Whedon starring Robert Downey Jr., Chris Evans, Chris Hemsworth, Scarlett Johansson, Mark Ruffalo, Jeremy Renner, Samuel L. Jackson, Elizabeth Olsen as Scarlet Witch, Aaron Taylor-Johnson as Quicksilver, Paul Bettany as Vision, with James Spader as Ultron.
