Don't Expect To See Any Other Avengers In 'Iron Man 3'
As we grow nearer to the end of 2012, assuming we survive the Mayan apocalypse, we approach the much-anticipated Marvel Phase 2. This is of course the slate of films post-'Avengers' in which the superhero members once again enjoy their own individual films, and new characters will be introduced who may then tie in to 'The Avengers 2.' So of course the question on all of our minds was where the crossovers would occur. We already know that Black Widow will appear in 'Captain America: The Winter Soldier,' but as she appears in that storyline from the comics anyway, this is far from a gimmicky guest spot. When Tony Stark mentioned the events of New York in the 'Iron Man 3' trailer, referring to the climax of 'The Avengers,' the plot thickened. However, before we could even start fantasizing about a Bruce Banner cameo, Marvel super producer Kevin Feige revealed in an interview that Tony won't be reuniting with any of his Avenger cohorts in his next adventure.
"Iron Man 3 doesn’t feature any of the other Avengers, or Nick Fury showing up, or any of those world-blending conceits that the Phase One films had. You have to keep in mind that Iron Man 3 had been in the works for almost a year, year and a half before The Avengers was released. We’re sticking to the vision for these films, and showing once again that these characters are just as interesting alone as they are together."
I'm actually really happy about this. It's impossible to ignore the impact 'The Avengers' is going to have on Marvel movies for probably another decade, and it would therefore make sense to continue to acknowledge the overlap of the unified Marvel cinematic universe. However, we've already had four years of superhero movies that featured post-credit crossover stingers building up to 'The Avengers.' It was, in essence, the biggest viral marketing campaign of all time. I think making a clear break from SHIELD and The Avengers in order to let the titular heroes shine in their Phase 2 vehicles is smart, and lets us get reacquainted with them individually before they are thrust back together. I guess what I'm saying is, it's clear that Iron Man has been emotionally altered by the events of the blockbuster team-up, and now I'm amped to see what he does when he's on his own again.
What do you guys think? Agree this is a good thing for 'Iron Man 3,' or are you disappointed other Avengers won't be turning up?

Fine with this but, as others have mentioned, I do think that one of these films could give Bruce Banner something to do until they make another Hulk film, even if it's a minor role.

If a small tie-in that doesn't hurt the movie is impossible then I'm glad they're staying away from it. There is reference enough to The Avengers in the trailer of IM3.

I'm glad to hear this, but does this mean Maria Hill will not be in this movie. I hope not. I love Cobie Smulders.

Hmm, the quote does say "We’re sticking to the vision for these films". Wonder if anyone's gonna take that shit out of context and insist The Vision's gonna be in this one.

I'm glad that they're focusing more on their own individual stories rather than forcing storylines and characters into a movie that doesn't require it.
Also, whoever chose that picture for this article, Bravo, sir or madam.

Thank God. They can continue world building later.

I think Bruce Banner (not the Hulk) would have fit perfectly fine in this film, even as a cameo in the very beginning, using Stark's vast resources on a cure or whatever in a remote location. Just a nice nod to their relationship and to add some more clever dialogue. Maybe Maria Hill or Widow keeping in touch...
But otherwise I'm fine with it.

Well maybe whoever is in the movie won't be an Avenger yet until the 2nd movie rolls around.

We don't have to actually "see" other hero's to still have some cross over, that has always been the strong suit of Marvel. Hero's and their common 'friends" supports in their own comics still make references to events, history in conversation with others. Hence the reference to "New York , nothing has been the same...." And there will always be those little post credit scenes. I am greatfull to hear they won't be blundgeoning us to death with references, cameos like they did in IM2. That was so bad, it was like bad, forced product placement. We don't need it forced. The best tie ends, cross overs are the simple little hints.....a wink, a comment, a memory....
