My Thoughts On What That Robert Downey Jr Announcement Is

Robert Downey Jr. has said to expect an announcement next week. What could it be? Let's discuss.

Editorial Opinion

So with this one tweet, Sir Robert Downey Jr. had us all guesing what will he be announcing March 5th?
 


New Age Of Ultron Trailer


 
The most likely in my eyes considering how this accompanies a poster for the aforementioned film. We still haven't seen much from this film, so there's still much that Marvel can show in a new trailer. Could we finally see The Vision? Will War Machine suit up once more? I understand that Marvel probably doesn't need to release another trailer, but one more with a few more money shots wouldn't hurt either.

Iron Man 4/Tony Appears In Another MCU film


Back when it was announced that Marvel had managed to bring RDJ into Civil War, many assumed that there must have been something else as a part of the deal. They couldn't just have negotiated him to be a supporting character/antagonist(?) in a Captain America sequel. It's possible that he's elsewhere. Maybe he'll appear in both parts of Infinity War? Maybe he'll join the Guardians of the Galaxy? Who knows really.

Of course, there's always Iron Man 4. Which has always been a case of 'when' not 'if'. It could be that Marvel has secretly been developing Iron Man 4, and that Tony has once again negotiated to play Tony in one more film.

Carol Danvers Casting


With Falcon, Peggy Carter, Helmdell, and Erik Selvig now all confirmed to be in Age of Ultron, t would seem like the one rumored character not to be fully revealed is Carol Danvers. Now, personal conjecture, I don't think Carol will be Ms Marvel in Age Of Ultron if she appears. She'll probably appear without her abilites, costume, etc.

That said, it could be that we finally get confirmation that Carol is in the film. Especially with her solo film coming in a few years. I don't think it's entirely impossible that she could appear in both Age Of Ultron and even Civil War before her solo film. Especially with all the casting rumors, i would seem likely that this is more likely then Spider-Man who is still quite some ways away with Civil War. That said, this is all dependent on whether Carol is even in Age of Ultron as speculated.

Spider-Man Casting


The popular theory. I think this has some weight to it, but that said I would imagine both Sony and Marvel are still working things out, and to imagine that they have an actor already for Spider-Man, and that they are ready to announce him ahead of Civil War's film date seems absurd. It's still possible, and I would still freak out, but logistically I think we're still some ways out from official Spider-Man casting.

Partnership With Fox

The least likely, but I have to mention it only because of the precendent set by Sony. Also, if rumors are true and Fox is developing a sequel to The Wolverine as an adaption of Old Man Logan, I would think certain aspects would be needed. I mean, we're talking about a scene where Logan uses Iron Man's armor. That would certainly tie it into RDJ, and with no news on The Wolverine 2 for some time, I imagine we're due for an update sometime soon.

That's it for my two cents, what do you guys and girls think? Like, comment, and do whatever else you like. Because, freedom.

Aren't they supposed to be going into production for Cap 3 in March? It's quite possible that if they was able to talk to either O'Brien or Lerman(two actors they are head hunting for the role of Spidey), they may have been able to seal the deal. So a Spidey casting is my second choice that I believe the news is. My first is a new AOU trailer.

How is the Spiderman casting to far off, when you are deeming Carol Danvers casting more likely? Spidey is to appear in an MCU film before his solo(likely Civil War) and his solo, both of which happen before Captain Marvel's solo. I mean, sure rumors are that Carol Danvers could appear in AOU, but there are also rumors supporting the Spiderman case, like the rumor that Civil War had 2 working scripts, one with Spiderman, the other without, and of course the prevalent one of him appearing in Civil War, which has some weight considering Marvel said he'd appear in a film before his solo.

Also, I'd much prefer Marvel/Fox make a deal concerning F4 rather than Xmen. The things F4 has to offer open up the MCU even more, and the storyline potential is down right legendary from them, whereas Xmen would only serve to convolute the universe, with many contradicting logistics.

@Omarvls I hope so. July 26 is a Tuesday, though. I'd put money on July 1 as the release date. Big holiday weekend and no major films opening - except "Tarzan," which is mid-level and I'm sure will move out of the way. Another possibility would be July 15 -- the only film opening that Friday is "Ice Age 5," which again would probably move. The next Star Trek film is supposed to open July 8, but I don't think that worries Marvel much on either side.

I'll eat my hat if it's NOT the final trailer for Age of Ultron. I'm that confident about it.

A Spider-Man casting is probably the only other reasonable guess...though I still think it's a bit too soon. But that at least seems more likely than any of the other options.

Iron Man 4 doesn't make much sense, to me at least. The third one ended the trilogy perfectly, and I'd heard reports (can't remember from where, at the moment) that RDJ wasn't interested in an Iron Man 4. That's why Civil War was such a great compromise - he gets to have a significant role in another movie, but it's still Cap's story.

Making Civil War into a 2-parter, told from each of the hero's perspectives, sounds like overkill. I just don't see Marvel messing around much more with their announced slate of movies, which is why I don't think we'll see an Iron Man 4, Iron Man: Civil War, or any other additional, unannounced films.

@GliderMan Yeah I have a feeling us fans are kind of overestimating how big Civil War is actually going to be. It'll be huge, don't get me wrong, but I think it'll be able to be fully told over the course of that 1 movie. Then the Infinity War movie will be able to deal with all the ramifications from it. I'd be happy with that.

I want Sherlock Holmes 3!

And or Spider-man news. Seriously we need to put that to rest.

Hope they don't make another film for a while...

That's just wishful thinking though, because no matter what they will rush that.

After three misfires it would be nice to just have Spidey take a break from the big screen.

Surprise me Marvel. Make a good TV show. Have Spidey pop up as a supporting character on films and other series.

Probably would make him more popular honestly.

Since Spidey can be used in the MCU now, people don't want just another Spidey film. They want him to team up with others.

@joppida What's wrong with the casting?

To me I'd rather someone who won't be 30 by the time they cast him in high school as 15.

I'd rather a teenager be a teenager, than an actor try to act like a teenager.

@InfiniteMonkey - that would be the easiest to pull off since it would probably be an after credits cameo. Hope its nothing too big that will change the MCU

@superotherside - Super annoying, moody, bitchy Spiderman..... OK.



All things aside though thats just my opinion and I'm glad we've got a place to post our own.

PS wasn't trying to be a dick just can't stand that kid - not a knock against you

@DonkeyTeeth No prob. I can't stand a lot of young actors. Josh Hutcherson is the worst.
