After being hinted at and setup over four years worth of superhero movies, the unprecedented collaboration paid off big time (+$200 million in 3 days big), and now Marvel is prepping for phase 2 of theatrical master plan. Most of us here at Playeraffinity were as thrilled with the first outing as everyone else was, but we’ve got a few suggestions to make sure this ultimate crossover wasn’t just a one-hit wonder. This is definitely the most important factor determining the franchises’ future; the actors have all signed on for multi-film deals but further guidance from writer and director Joss Whedon is still in question. While Marvel will definitely be trying to get some of its lesser known heroes into their own pictures before Avengers 2, that shouldn’t limit the roster to just folks with a film under their belts. By the time The Avengers rolls into its last act and the team has finally assembled, it’s hard to imagine anyone or anything stopping them, whether it’s an alien army or a malevolent demigod. Putting them up in Avenger mansion would be a definite downgrade from a flying fortress, but the Tower is easily the more stylish option. Watching Hulk steer a robo-centipede into Grand Central Station was pretty cool, but there’s only so many ways to blow-up a major metropolitan city. Moving the action out of New York and even off-planet would help capture the immense scope many of The Avengers’ missions have. Thanos is an interesting, extremely deadly villain in the Marvel universe who would present an unprecedented threat to The Avengers, but he’d also be a tricky adversary to pull off correctly.
