Hugh Jackman Thinks Avengers X-Men Movie Crossover Will Happen

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:19476:]]

Hugh Jackman has been making the press rounds for his latest movie Chappie where the actor recently said he would be up to appear in the Ryan Reynolds Deadpool movie.

Now Jackman offers he thinks it’s possible that one day an Avengers and X-Men crossover will happen.

“I’m surprised by what’s happened with Spider-Man joining. You’re in a very complex world where big, big sums of money are being spent for different franchises and so getting them together is difficult,” Jackman told Yahoo“Two years ago I’d have said you’d be a real optimist to think it’d ever happen, but weirdly now I just think it maybe could. I think there is the possibility that it will happen.”

Jackman lets it be known that he would like to be featured on screen with Robert Downey Jr. as Tony Stark and Iron Man.

“I can’t think of him as anyone else,” Jackman said. “They are inseparable…. I would love to do that.”

Back over a year ago, Jackman made similar comments about a potential X-Men and Avengers crossover noting that he would love to kick Robert Downey Jr. and Iron Man’s ass.

As Jackman notes Spider-Man is surprise, maybe the powers that be at Marvel and Fox will see the mutual benefit an Avengers and X-Men shared movie would bring to the table.

“Chappie” premiers March 6th.

The Avengers 2 Is An Onslaught Says Chris Hemsworth And More

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:19424:]]

Chris Hemsworth recently talked with Marvel.com and offered where Thor is in The Avengers 2.

“We pick up with Thor having stayed on Earth from Thor: The Dark World,” Hemsworth said. “He’s part of the team. This is his home for the moment. The initial attack from Ultron is personal because it’s at all the Avengers, and Thor then begins to see a bigger sort of picture here about what this threat could be potentially. And it begins to tie in to all of our films. It’s hard to say too much without talking about what I can’t talk about.”

Hemsworth also lets it be known that just because the Avengers and Ultron are set on Earth doesn’t necessarily mean Thor will be staying earth-bound, as Thor can bring his cosmic knowledge to the table.

“What information can I bring?’ So [Thor] calls upon some of his guardian knowledge and is able to go into another realm to pull out some information that’s hugely useful [and] certainly benefits where they are at that point,” Hemsworth offered.

As mighty as Thor is, and as much as Thor has seen, even Thor thinks the Avengers may not stand a chance against Ultron.

“I think he openly admits he doesn’t think we can win this one,” Hemsworth admitted. “The threat is so great that all of them are scratching their heads wondering if this it. It’s just an onslaught, and it doesn’t stop.  It’s a floodgate, and it could also set in motion is an even bigger threat. I think that’s what Thor’s stuck on, or where his attention certainly is. An even bigger picture of Thor being from Asgard where he can just say, ‘Hang on, there’s a whole universe here which is signaling something else.’”

Hemsworth also offers he will be fighting Iron Man in the movie (which also may help set up Captain America: Civil War).

“We’re not as conflicted [as a team] as we were before,” Hemsworth said. “[But Thor] has a pretty solid battle with Iron Man in this one, which is cool. It’s a lengthy fight scene of destruction.”

Now the interview reveals a new scene – so spoiler warning – involving Scarlet Witch in that the Avengers will be a part of a nightmare sequence.

“I think [the Avengers] will begin to have their fears held up in front of them,” Hemsworth said. “For Thor, I think it’s a corruption of power. Trying to have the understanding that we’re in this endless battle here and wondering when this is going to end, and how does it end. That’s where he really starts to kind of move through the story. Once that dream occurs, he can see what’s coming. It’s a ticking clock.”

Chris Hemsworth is also set to star in the third movie, Thor: Ragnarok, which hits November 3, 2017.

“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.

Avengers 2 Not Backing Down From Floyd Mayweather Vs. Manny Pacquiao

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:19301:]]

It’s on!

Marvel Studios and The Avengers: Age Of Ultron are not backing away from what is being said to be one of the most anticipated fights in boxing history with Floyd Mayweather set to take on Manny Pacquiao on Saturday, May 2nd, which will unify the welterweight world titles at MGM Grand in Las Vegas.

That Saturday will be the second biggest opening night for The Avengers 2.

Will the Mayweather vs Pacquiao fight see some fans skip out on Avengers to check out the fight?

TMZ questioned Marvel about it, with Marvel replying they have no intention of backing down and changing the release date.

“Nope,” Marvel replied back.

While some fans may stay home to watch the fight, more than likely they will still see Avengers 2 – either at a different time that Saturday or simply a different night.

It’s speculated the Mayweather vs Paxquiao fight will be the biggest PPV boxing event ever, passing Mayweather’s record buys for the 2007 junior middleweight championship fight against Oscar De La Hoya, which brought in 2.4 million; passing the all-time PPV revenue record of $150 million, as well as passing the all-time gate record of $20 million.

The first Avengers movie brought in $69.557 million for its own Saturday back in 2012.

So with Floyd Mayweather Vs. Manny Pacquiao expected to bring in over $150 million for Saturday, will it hurt The Avengers 2?

Joss Whedon Talks Ultron Powers; Scarlet Witch & Quicksilver Origins

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:19291:]]

We are almost two months away from the premiere of The Avengers 2, which will introduce Ultron as the villain in addition to new Marvel super heroes, Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver.

Now while speaking with Empire, Joss Whedon offers the following.

On Ultron’s powers:

“The powers in comic books – they’re always like, ‘And then I can reverse the polarity of your ions!’ – well, we have to ground things a lot more. With Ultron, we have to make him slightly less omnipotent because he’d win. Bottom line. Also, having weaknesses and needs and foibles and alliances and actually caring what people think of him, all these things, are what make him a character and not just a tidal wave. A movie about a tidal wave can be great, but it’s different than a conflict between one side and the other.

When Ultron speaks, he has a point. He is really not on top of the fact that the point he’s making has nothing to do with the fact that he’s banoonoos. And that he hates the Avengers for bringing him into this world, and he can’t really articulate that or even understand how much he hates humanity. He thinks he’s all that. That guy is very fun to write. He combines all the iconic stuff. The powers he has are slightly different – he can control certain things, he’s not just firing repulsors.” 

On Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver’s origins:

“They have an origin but it’s largely described. They’re already good to go by the time we’re up and running. You don’t want to fall into Spider-Man 3 territory – and I say that as a guy who actually thinks pretty well of that movie, there’s some great stuff in that movie – but there comes a point where you’re overloaded with frontstory, backstory, origin story and it becomes very hard to juggle. My instinct is always, ‘Don’t put in more, work with what you have.’

But I insisted on putting in more in this movie because I felt I needed more villains. I needed someone for Ultron to talk to, and I need more trouble for the Avengers. As powerful as Ultron is, if he builds more Ultrons, they’re Ultrons. There’s no reason for him to ever to talk to them because they’re him. ‘I need you to – I KNOW! I AM TOTALLY YOU! I DID IT EARLIER! I know that because I am also me.’ That’s not a good conversation. Actually, it sounded pretty good there. I think I’m onto something.”

Mark Ruffalo Talks Hulk In The Avengers 2

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:19253:]]

Yesterday saw Robert Downey Jr. talk about Iron Man 4 and Captain America 3 and the Vision, now Empire catches up with Mark Ruffalo about the Hulk.

Ruffalo offers up where Bruce Banner is at when Avengers 2 begins:

I think he’s definitely matured a little bit since the last one. He’s become more acclimated to this thing and to being part of the team. I think he feels more a part of them all.

And on Hulk and Banner in Avengers 2:

Hulk is the kind of wild card. He’s the loose cannon of the group. He’s more like an atom bomb. You could guess where he’s going to go but he could go either way.

There’s a battle going on between these two opposing egos that live inside him. He’s definitely worried that the day is going to come when the Hulk gets the best of him, and maybe won’t release him, maybe won’t give him back. The Hulk knows this too. There’s a moment in here where he, begrudgingly, decides to go back to Banner. Who knows where these things will go, but as Bruce is able to impress his will on the Hulk, going into The Hulk and being inside the Hulk when he’s raging, The Hulk’s will is also growing and able to impress upon Bruce. That makes for some wild things. We’re laying the groundwork for that here. It’ll be interesting to see if that ends up being what would be the next Hulk movie. 

About a potential Hulk movie:

Who knows, really? That’s such an amorphous thing. Nobody has talked to me about that yet. It seems people want it, but it’s tough. They’ve already done two of ‘em, and they’ve only done two Thors, they had a nice run on Iron Man. I feel like they have their plates full. There’s probably other people they’re keen on doing but I think people have shown that they’re ready to see another one.

Scarlett Johansson Talks Why Black Widow

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:19244:]]

We’ve seen the images from W Magazine, now check out what Scarlett Johansson has to say about playing Black Widow.

“People were surprised that I wanted to play a comic book heroine. But I loved Iron Man, and I met with Marvel to see what was possible. I had done my research, and the Black Widow character resonated with me. She is dark and has faced death so many times that she has a deep perspective on the value of life. In the sequel, you learn more about the sadness in her past. I think of her that way. Black Widow is a superhero, but she’s also human. She’s small, but she’s strong. It’s hard not to admire her. She packs a big punch. We all try to fight the forces of evil. Like Black Widow, you have to keep trying. The challenge is always there.” 

Scarlett Johansson can next be seen as Black Widow in The Avengers: Age Of Ultron out May 1st and then in Captain America: Civil War out May 6, 2016.

Also watch Scarlett Johansson talking her favorite celebrity crush and love story:

Captain America 3 Is Not Iron Man 4 Says Robert Downey Jr.

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:19242:]]

Captain America: Civil War is set for May 2016 which will pit Captain America vs Iron Man and will introduce Black Panther and Spider-Man officially into the Marvel cinematic universe.

While speaking with Empire Online, Robert Downey Jr. offers details why he decided to be featured in the movie and also says it’s not Iron Man 4.

Ultimately it’s Steve’s story; it doesn’t say ‘Iron Man 4: Civil War’. I think that’s great too. I think Chris [Evans] has been hungry to bring even more of an underside and some shadow to that. I remember the comics – on the surface you got the sense that Cap was baseball and apple pie, but underneath there was all this churning stuff of being a man out of time. Now we know he’s made his peace with that. What’s the bigger issue? It can have a little something to do with the past, but it can be about someone becoming more modernized in their own conflict. 

I’m crazy about Evans. I really am. I don’t know why or how to explain this particular kinship we have. By the way, he hasn’t called me in six months. Honestly, in order for this whole thing to have worked, I did my part, Hemsworth knocked it out of the stadium and then it fell on Cap. That was the riskiest. It was the one that had the highest degree of difficulty in making it translate to a modern audience. It was the Russos and Chris who, I think, really hit the line drive and won the series. I remember glancing through it going, “Wow, that’s a different way to go”. They said, “If we have you, we can do this or Cap 3 has to be something else”. It’s nice to feel needed.

And when they pitched it to me and when I had a couple of ideas and when they said we like those ideas, let’s do those. Then there’s all this competition too. I don’t do this because I look at it as a competition, but I look at the marketplace and go, ‘Maybe if these two franchises teamed up and I can take even a lesser position in support, with people I like and directors I respect, maybe we can keep things bumping along here a little longer than they might have’. 

“Captain America: Civil War” has a May 6, 2016 release date directed by Anthony and Joe Russo starring Chris Evans, Robert Downey Jr., Scarlett Johansson, Sebastian Stan, Anthony Mackie, Frank Grillo and Chadwick Boseman.

Robert Downey Jr. and Chris Evans can next be seen in The Avengers: Age Of Ultron out May 1, 2015.

Robert Downey Jr. Talks The Vision In Avengers 2

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:19240:]]

Paul Bettany is set to suit up as Vision in The Avengers: Age Of Ultron, and for the first time will be seen on camera fighting alongside Robert Downey Jr. as Iron Man.

Robert Downey Jr. recently spoke with Empire Online and offered the following about the Vision in Avengers 2:

[Jon] Favreau was visiting the set and went, ‘JARVIS, what did they fuckin’ do to you?’ I would maybe see Bettany on the street or at a premiere party, maybe. And the suit? Everybody has to pay their pound of flesh. I remember on Iron Man 2 when Cheadle came out in the Mark II, it’s the least comfortable suit, by their own admission, designed for any movie and he came out and stopped the party. I looked at him and it was right before lunch and he’d been in it for three hours. I thought, ‘Poor Don’, but you gotta do it. And for Bettany, they did a number on him with this absolutely awesome Ultron look, and it also reminded me of the times when I’ve been in special effects make-up. The very first thing he had to do was perch on the end of a precipitous ledge and stand up at the right time with the wind blowing and look right down the barrel, and 20 other things were happening, and it was like, ‘Yep, welcome’. But when – and I won’t give much of anything away – Vision gets to express and enter and find his place in earnest respect on the playing field, it was like an exceptionally well-executed, poetic, badass, “Aha!” moment for all of us. Joss was very particular about that in a different way than he was with Jimmy. I think people are going to get a kick out of the creative decisions about how Vision fits in.
