Hey youtubers it’s Charlie and during the Marvel special tonight we got our first look
at some concept art for Avengers 2 that gives us an idea for what Quicksilver and Scarlet
Witch will look like and we saw some Iron Man Hulkbuster armor.
Which kind of informs what some of the plot is going to be.
The special itself was really fun and was just a deep dive behind the scenes into the
creative process of Marvel Studios from a business and a creative perspective.
So I’m going to focus mostly on the Avengers 2 parts and Phase 3 but I’ll mention some
of the other fun facts.
If you’re finding me for the first time I do Marvel movie videos every tuesday.
Be sure to subscribe to get everything and feel free to suggest future videos for me
to do.
So Let’s start with the important stuff.
The children of he must not be named, because of copyright.
They haven’t started principal photography on their scenes yet, most of the footage we’ve
seen from Johannesburg was all second unit stuff.
So all of this was concept art.
But it is what they’ll actually look like.
It’s just the plainclothes millennial version of the characters.
Maybe during the course of the film they’ll get official costumes like Captain America
got his new costume during the first Avengers.
I won’t talk about it here, but I there is a scene with these two characters you can
see pretty soon in the theater.
If you want spoilers for that just watch my Avengers 2 video I posted last week.
There’s a link to that at the end of this video.
Now let’s talk about that Hulkbuster Armor.
It’s a slightly modified and colored version of the armor we saw in Iron Man 3.
Meaning He’s rebuilt some of his armory, and the Hulk is going to be a huge green problem
in Avengers 2.
In the comics there’s a really notable story called World War Hulk.
It takes place after the Planet Hulk storyline.
Hulk just comes back to earth and beats the crap out of every single superhero that he
can see.
A lot of people, myself included thought that they would do something like this eventually,
but this is a lot sooner than expected.
And it’s going to be a lot of fun.
In the first film he didn’t really collide with the team too much.
It seems like in the sequel, Mark Ruffalo be smashing a lot more stuff.
Side note too, the Red Hulk was also a big part of the Age of Ultron comic book story.
That story won’t be what this film is, but it’s a nice coincidence.
Plus I think everyone wants a Mark Ruffalo standalone Hulk film at some point.
And there wasn’t any James Spader Ultron concept art, but here’s some interesting
info on the movie’s story.
The larger story.
It’s mostly going to be inspired by the Mighty Avengers Ultron Initiative, that’s
where Ultron takes over the Armor of Tony Stark.
It came after the Civil War storyline.
You can read the comics if you want to learn more.
Now, let’s talk phase 3 real quick before we do some fun Avengers facts.
Feige repeated some earlier comments about the changing Avengers roster, mostly referring
to Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch.
But then they also played the old Ant-Man test footage.
In my Ant-Man preview video earlier today I predicted that Ant-Man would eventually
become an Avengers during the third movie.
It’s not rocket science though, Scott Lang became an Avenger in the comics.
That really makes me wonder who they’re going to cycle out of the Avengers.
Robert Downey Jr’s last movie is Avengers 3, after that unless he takes a major pay
cut, they’ll be forced to cut him out or re-cast the part.
It’s already pretty obvious that they’re building towards Infinity Guantlet, but it’s
a little early to be doing Avengers 3 videos.
Feel free to ask me more questions about how all that ties together.
Largely SHIELD and The Guardians of the Galaxy will be the connective tissue between the
cosmic elements of the films and the earth based films.
So eventually Agent Coulson and Star Lord will be sharing some screen time.
Here’s a couple Marvel and Avengers behind the scenes facts from the special that I thought
were pretty cool.
Starting things off, when they first got stared with Iron Man.
Almost every writer in Hollywood they offered it to turned it down.
The only reason they were able to obtain financing for the first couple of films was by bundling
them together in what would eventually be known as the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
So it wasn’t just a creative decision.
They did it because financially, that’s the only way the bank would buy into it.
During the first Iron Man, after Gwyneth Paltrow signed on to the project and came in to meet
with Favreau and RDJ for the first time, they all ended up crying because they were so happy.
Samuel L Jackson won the role of Nick Fury in that same Iron Man film because his agent
cold called Kevin Fiege and they loved the idea.
The Tesseract became the first big macguffin.
The thing that drove the plot forward with very little if no explanation.
In phase 2 it’s the infinity gems and in phase 3 it will be the infinity gauntlet.
George RR Martin even got a cameo in the special.
Turns out the Avengers were what made him fall in love with comics as a child.
He did a podcast with Nerdist talking about going to the first ever comic book convention
in the world.
I’ll post a link to that in the description.
So we saw a ton of stuff.
Let me know of that new stuff, the Avengers and Guardians of the galaxy footage.
What you’re most excited to see.
Guardians is really only a couple months away.
Eventually Marvel could get to the point too where it releases four films a year.
There’s just so much material and their creative process has become so efficient.
Let me know which films you want to see after phase 3 is over.
I know, I know.
Deadpool.
We’re all thinkin’ the same thing.

Thanks for watching, see you guys tonight!
