Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige took part in a live Q&A over at The Los Angeles Times: Hero Complex tonight, and what follows are the main points that were brought up in that conversation. All of them are pretty damned interesting, and there is plenty of updates on upcoming and existing movies, as well as a fair few confirmations/debunkings of recent rumours!
Iron Man will have a new set of armor in The Avengers: "Joss would kill me if I gave anything away, but I will say that the evolution you saw his armor take in IM2 will continue in The Avengers."
Donald Blake (Thor's alter-ego in the comic books) will be mentioned in the upcoming movie: "People looking for a reference to Don Blake in the Thor film will find one."
When will we see a trailer for Captain America: The First Avenger? "Working on the Cap trailer now. You should be seeing one in the new year."
When asked about the chances of seeing The Invaders in Captain America, he confirmed that they wouldnt feature: "While there's no Invaders, there's lots of Howling Commandos!"
Samuel L. Jackson as Nick Fury will also not appear in the WWII scenes of that movie. "We're keeping Nick Fury as portrayed by the great Sam Jackson just in the modern era for now."
