Avengers 2 News, Rumors, Etc. Pictures until release...

[DEWLine]

We can wait for Avengers 3(or whatever title it uses) for that one.

 

[TheSeeker]

It would be a pretty cool scene though.

A totally random thing I would love to see in Avengers 2 is Captain America casually handing Mjolnir over to Thor, without realising what he just did.

Can he do that in the comics out of interest?

 

[Skywalker]

Cap has wielded Mjolnir in the comics before, yes.

 

[The Nth Doctor]

Why is he able to win no other "mere mortal" can't?

 

[Bob The Skutter]

Because he is "Worthy" of Thor's power.

Anyone who is worthy can lift Thor's hammer, but the list is small. As I recall (and using the internet to check), I know that people like Captain America, Thunderstrike and Beta Ray Bill have lifted it, and several credible places including comicvine also say that Wonder Man and Awesome Android have lifted it, along with Odin, Thor's grandfather Bor and great grandfather Buri.

Superman and Wonder Woman have wielded it in crossovers as well. I was reading up on it after I watched Thor 2 and apparently the creator of Beta Ray Bill suggested that Captain America wouldn't have been able to pick up Mjolnir because he was too patriotic and Mjolnir required a warrior's mentality, so he created Beta Ray Bill.

A real fangasmic moment for me.

 

[Unicron]

There's also the alternate universe where Rogue accidentally absorbed Thor when she fought the Avengers during her time as an evil mutant, and Thor's personality eventually helped her to become a hero in that reality. She became his successor.

Epic.

Indeed. Busiek. Perez. A moment for the ages.

Elizabeth Olsen finally confirms what most of us already knew:

http://www.comingsoon.net/news/movienews.php?id=111278

Rumored for a long time and seemingly confirmed by Samuel L. Jackson last month, Elizabeth Olsen has confirmed with MTV that she will play Wanda Maximoff, AKA The Scarlet Witch, in the upcoming Avengers: Age of Ultron. She spoke to the site specifically about acting alongside Aaron Taylor-Johnson once again, whom she just completed Godzilla with a few months ago.

"We get to play husband and wife, and we get to play twin brother and sister," she said. "It's also fun because even though in 'Godzilla' we play husband and wife, we don't have a lot of scenes together. I just love him. I love his family. I love his kids. I'm so excited we get to work with each other more and to actually work with each other. I think it's going to be fun."

When asked if she'd seen any concept art or costuming for the film she replied,"No, I just know about it. It's been talked about, and it's so fun."

Good news

 

[Flying Spaghetti Monster]

I was always under the impression that Dazzler can wield Thor's hammer....


Just kidding.

I doubt that she could wield it effectively at all even if it was a normal hammer.

This quote from Elizabeth Olsen made me chuckle...

When I asked Olsen about her role in "Avengers: Age of Ultron," she replied: "It's funny. We [Aaron Taylor-Johnson and I] are going from husband and wife [in 'Godzilla'] to twin brother and sister ['Avengers: Age of Ultron']. I'm excited to actually get to work with him, because we didn't work with each other much in 'Godzilla." I'm excited. I've been doing homework and reading comic books as my homework right now ...

I wonder if her "homework" includes the "Ultimate" version of the characters, and if it did, if she still thought it "funny" or disturbing that she's playing Aaron Taylor Johnson's wife in one film and his brother in the next.

 

[Aldo]

^^^In that case wouldn't she be relieved because she can still pretend she's playing his wife

I don't read the Ultimate lines because they aren't really my thing, but just what was the reasoning behind giving those two an incestual relationship?

 

[Mr Light]

Because everything in the Ultimate line must be shocking and different!

 

[superdeluxe]

What is the thing that you're most excited about in terms of "Avengers?"

I just love Scarlet Witch. I love her. It's so funny because I'm often talking about all these psychologically damaged people, but when you talk about Scarlet Witch... She is a messed up lady. She has got more sh*t to deal with than anybody else I know. I'm excited to figure out what's appropriate to use for her, because there's so much material from all of these decades, and we're going to tell this one story. So to be able to choose what you're going to bring into it from all of this abundance, it's really fun.

No matter how much I hear about it, I just can't picture Elizabeth Olsen as Wanda.
