the New Avengers.

Captain America, Black Widow, War Machine, the Falcon, the Vision, and Scarlet Witch are the New Avengers.

No Thor, Iron Man, Hulk, or Hawkeye.

I think Disney may have wrecked their multi-billion dollar franchise.


Fox wrecked the Fantastic Four goldmine
2015 Fantastic Four Production Budget: $120 million = Worldwide: $167,977,596
2005 Fantastic Four Production Budget: $100 million = Worldwide: $330,579,719
2007 Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer Production Budget: $130 million = Worldwide: $289,047,763

Of course. Originality is hard, copycat is easy.
Keep doing 'variation on a theme' till you quit
making money and move on. Squeeze it till
it runs dry.

Squeeze it till it runs dry.

I can understand squeezing ten year old brats with this comic book stuff..... but they are going after all movie goers with that nonsense each time with just another planet involved and more boobs.

What is this in reference to?

Comic books or the movies?

I'm a big movie nerd, and I know for a fact ALL of the Avengers (plus Spider-Man, Black Panther, Captain Marvel, and the Guardians of the Galaxy) will appear in the two-part Avengers Infinity War movies that come out in 2018 & 2019.

MINOR SPOILERS

I know I am behind the times as I just the Age of Ultron movie (May 2015), but by the end of the movie the following lines of dialogue between Captain America and the Black Widow.

Quote: Avengers, Age of Ultron-final lines

- How do we look?
- Well, we're not the '27 Yankees.
- We got some hitters.
- They're good. They're not a team.
- Let's beat them into shape.
Avengers...

Iron Man (Robert Downey Jr.), the Hulk (Mark Ruffalo), Thor (Chris Hemsworth), and Hawkeye (Jeremy Renner) have all left the scene.

I see that Robert Downey Jr. and Jeremy Renner were in this year's Captain America movie, but not Mark Ruffalo and Chris Hemsworth.

Perhaps I was faked out by the ending of this film, but it sounded like the characters would not be returning for the Infinity Wars films.

I don't really keep track of the comic books as I stopped reading them decades ago. I always liked the Inhumans which appeared when I was age i. I understand Iron Man is going to be a woman now.

Both Hulk and Thor will appear in Thor 3, which comes out next year.

Captain America: Civil War essentially functioned as Avengers 2.5. It introduced the new Spider-Man and Black Panther.

Iron Man will appear in the new Spider-Man movie, which also comes out next year.

Then basically every single Marvel character will appear in the two-part Avengers Infinity War movies.

Shouldn't Disney buy DC comics just so they can make a movie with both sets of super heroes?

Also the ultimate Batman and Superman movie: "Batman vs Darth Vader: Dawn of the Super Jedi"

I think DC has always been Warner Brothers back to the original Superman in 1978.
