Why are they making an Iron man 3? Surely it should be another Avengers movie?

JohnApocalypse4314d ago

Avengers 2 will probably come out in like 2015

DFogz4314d ago

They're making Iron Man 3, Captain America 2, Thor 2, and another Hulk movie before they make Avengers 2.
They're fleshing out more stories for everyone individually before bringing them back together.
That way when Avengers 2 does come out, they won't need to try and force some semi-developed plot line down our throats in 2 hours, they'll have already laid the groundwork in the other 4 or 5 movies they made in the meantime.

theWB274314d ago

What was semi developed about avengers plot line. Every other movie they talked about assembling the greatest heroes for a greater threat. Loki was the most powerful villain they introduced during the other movies.

They might make a Nick Fury, Black Widow/Hawk Eye film.

Iron Man 3 better not end up like Spiderman 3.....the number 3 is always a curse in these types of trilogys. Speaking of Spiderman...I hope the Dark Knight destroys it at the box office, we didn't need a reboot, especialy an origin story with an actor who looks nothing like Peter Parker.

@theWB27

There was nothing semi-developed about The Avengers. I was at the midnight screening, and it's one of my favorite movies of the year.

I'm just saying that they won't need to half-ass Avengers 2 by trying to create a believable story and conflict, and then trying to convey all of it to us in only 2 hours. They don't really have much of a story to work with now. Loki was a threat, he was dealt with, now someone else needs to be introduced and a bit of backstory needs to be built up

So, in short, The Avengers was great, but if they do another too soon it'll feel rushed and most likely won't make much sense and the Avengers will lose steam.

theWB274314d ago

Got ya

@mikeCosgrove
He doesn't look like peter Parker? The reboot (just got done seeing it) was awesome. The Web slinging was great but I livre seeing my favorite superhero on the big screen. Garfield did a great job.

Look, to be honest the FTC should just stop.

MS has A/B and nothing has really changed yet...if you are worried about 5-10 years from now...just drop it cause the future is unpredictable.

Take this week's news, that 4 Xbox exclusive are going Multiplatform.

Yeah man I think Microsoft here getting to probe is kinda wrong unless you only have accessed to necessary information not complete access imo.

Abriael79d ago

Obviously they aren't giving them the password to Sony's computers and telling them "help yourself."

Eonjay78d ago

"Microsoft allowed to probe Sony and Ubisoft"

Sounds hot...

ApocalypseShadow79d ago (Edited 79d ago )

Maybe Microsoft should also talk and get help from their "congressional influencers" at The Capital. They had plenty to say on the matter before the acquisition. They are mighty quiet after the purchase went through. Almost as if they had a stake in the matter.

Abriael79d ago

Could you perhaps explain how this is related? I'm honestly curious since you seem to bring it up rather often.

S2Killinit78d ago

He is pointing out how corrupt MS is, and how money talks. I think.

KwietStorm_BLM78d ago

I would say read between the lines but it's pretty damn clear as it is.

Bathyj79d ago

You should be careful upsetting Sony too much Microsoft.
You might need them to sell your subpar games soon.

TornRaptor79d ago

The games will become the best things ever all of a sudden.

Bathyj79d ago

Yeah I really doubt that.
I'm struggling to think of one I really cared about missing.

Hofstaderman79d ago

Bwhahahaha. Ain't that the truth.

Mr_cheese78d ago

The only exclusive im personally interested in from Microsoft is Elderscrolls and that's not even got s release date.

Everything else is genuinely of none interest.

OtterX79d ago

Microsoft never waits for the probing to be consensual.

derek78d ago

This isn't a major victory. They're essentially being allowed to call witnesses in regards to agreements they reached with Sony and Ubisoft which was initially blocked because Microsoft didn't make the request through the proper channels. This case is dead, there is no way the ftc will be allowed to unwind this acquisition.

Sephiroushin78d ago

they probably know case is death but want some proof to sue them for a few millions regarding other stuff, the ftc loves to sue everyone, be sure that as soon as all this end they will just go sue MS and end in a settlement.
