3. Will There Be Any New Avengers?
Some headlines were made a few months ago when Whedon announced that Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch were in the script for the sequel, but then Bryan Singer announced shortly after that Evan Peters was cast as Quicksilver in Foxs X-Men: Days of Future Past. So Marvel and Fox may have some fighting on their hands. But with the possible loss of Hawkeye and Black Widow and the potential inclusion of Quicksilver and the Scarlet Witch, is that the extent of the membership shuffle? Ultron was created by Hank Pym, a founding Avenger who has gone by a number of identities (Ant-Man, Giant-Man, Goliath, Yellowjacket). Although the Ant-Man movie is due out in 2015, its set for a release
after Avengers: Age of Ultron. Does this mean Ultron will appear before his creator, or will Hank be introduced as an Avenger first before getting his solo outing? The Ultron also created the previously-mentioned Vision, so thats another potential wrinkle in the book. Will Avengers: Age of Ultron see the introduction of Ant-Man, the Vision, Quicksilver,
and the Scarlet Witch? Even if Black Widow and Hawkeye dont return, thats still quite a lot of characters to introduce. Ruth Wilson and Emily Blunt have also been rumored as possible casting choices for Ms. Marvel and Anthony Mackie is playing Falcon in Captain America: The Winter Soldier. There's also the matter of the Black Panther, who really needs to turn up.
