It'd be pretty cool if he ends up being the central character since he seems to be the most grounded. I haven't read Marvel stuff in years, so I could be way off with that statement.  |

It's only part of the clip, the whole thing is 4ish minutes long. |

I really hope they don't run that character into the ground. The charm's still on him, and I think Clark's happy as hell to have a nice steady gig like that, but if it turns into something crazy like his own TV series or something, that might be too much.

The 2nd wasn't as good because it was action characters trying to pull off drama. It was still pretty good, but the first one set the bar much higher.

The Coulson character could work great in an ensemble comedy based on the comic Damage Control. (Old Marvel series about a firm that specializes in cleaning-up after superhero battles, managing insurance policies, etc.)

Sort of on topic, does DC have it's own version of SHIELD?

Damage Control was a brilliant idea, and I've long wished they did a movie series based on it. Removed by user. >_< |

Closest thing it has is The Agency/Checkmate, with Amanda Waller being the Nick Fury character. |

She's been slimmed down and sexed up in the DC reboot.  |

The Authority? Stormwatch team? It might be a little extreme, but most of those comic books narrations and characters reminds me of Hollywood, most of the time.

Just found out Maria Hill will be appearing, which makes me pretty happy. Now I'm hoping Whedon can wangle a cameo for Special Agent Abigail Brand in there somewhere... after all, she's one of his characters.

My brother-in-law is in this. He plays Thor.
Just kidding. He plays some extra. Hopefully his part wasn't cut. Will have to watch the movie carefully to find out.

Fun Trailer.
Archer dude still incredibly fucking lame. I seriously can't get over how lame he is compared to everyone else.

I think if I was dealing with super aliens, I might prefer having an arrow with an explosive tip to having a handgun.
I think the problem is that Black Widow and Hawkeye only make sense as covert ops or dealing with an adversary that has street-level punks as well as super-powered creatures at its command. Doesn't look like that's the deal here.
I suspect they're there as perspective characters who will remind the big guys about what it's all about, etc. And I'd wager that at least one of them is there to get killed at a dramatic moment and provide the group cohesion--that's Whedon's style and it's also fairly consistent with the genre. Hawkeye is the sensible choice there--you aren't going to want to pay Renner for a second film anyway, there's no way he's going to sustain a spin-off franchise, and there's plenty of man-candy elsewhere and no other woman-candy.
Then if you do a 2, you bring in some other franchise character that won't utterly bust your FX budget. Giant-Man and the Wasp are probably out for that reason--not just expensive characters but actually keeping very small and very large characters in the same frame with normal-sized ones is a huge challenge if they're meant to be able to relate to one another. Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver are probably very expensive, have a potentially creepy characterization in several respects, and might even have ownership problems re: the X-franchise. The Black Panther strikes me as pretty viable, though. Maybe the Vision though I think his plot arc is horribly cliched. (Android that wants to be human, etc.)

To be fair, Whedon likes to create stories that are populated by multiple female characters to start with.
Anyway, if a good guy has to die, the most trope-ful choice would be Agent Fury.

Sam L. Jackson has something like a 7 movie deal with Marvel Studios. He's almost certainly hanging around.

Yeah, there's apparently a Nick Fury movie in development.
Though! There's always the Life Model Decoy route...

Oh, sorry. I should have linked this in the previous post. |
