Spoilers... with a side of thread derailment
The thing is nameless, I went to see Captain America The Winter Soldier this weekend and it did "introduce" us to both these characters, not by name but the inference was clear. It is my understanding that both characters will have substantial roles in next months X-Men Days of Future Past. Also I think they will be played by different actors than the apparent Avengers version.
p.s. If any of you guys watch Agents of Sheild on tv there IS a tie in between the main plot of Cap Amer. TWS and the recent events on AOS. It's pretty cool synchronization. The antagonist of Cap Amer 2, the aforementioned Winter Soldier is just a figurehead of sorts to the main plot he is just an element of the bigger picture which is about the emergence of a police state that deems itself necessary to protect us from ourselves, o.k. terrorists, but one can see through the subtext. SHEID isn't exactly innocent either and exists for the same reason( at least initially) albeit in a more benign way making for one very disenfranchised Cap Am. The inclusion of the Winter Soldier (from what I gathered) is is in fact another introduction which will be made clearer, probably in Avengers 2. People more famiar with the comic book story line/canonization....I am not one of them, but I am getting caught up...are already clued in as to what will likely happen.
I was clued in by an excited 11 year old bearing a Captain America shield at the screening.
yeah I saw it too. Maybe theres a time release on the Fox thing??
"Mutants just can't get any respect.
Or, in reality, Marvel just can't get their rights back from Fox, meaning that any character first and foremost identified as an X-Man or X-villain won't be appearing on "
Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D." anytime soon, as explicitly stated by show-runners
Maurissa Tancharoen and
Jed Whedon in a new interview with
The Hollywood Reporter.
"We can't ever say 'mutant,'" revealed Tancharoen. We've known this would be the case ever since Marvel started building their Cinematic Universe while Fox simultaneously began repairing their X-Franchise a few years ago, but the inclusion of mutant Avengers
Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch in the upcoming "
Avengers: Age of Ultron" might have given fans an ounce of hope that a certain clawed Canadian and his super-powered buds
could pop up on the show. But that's not going to happen, and Jed Whedon revealed the creators behind "S.H.I.E.L.D." have a very specific list of characters they're allowed to use.
"There's a database that's tailored to our show with the properties we can use as well as the properties that are owned by other studios and things that are flagged for major franchises," revealed Whedon. "There are certain areas we can't go because we don't want to step on the toes of the movies." As a fan of both Marvel Comics
and databases, this particular spreadsheet sounds like my Holy Grail. I am fascinated by it, and I want to see it.
This also reminds me of a memo that Marvel historian
Sean Howe found; the memo ranked pretty much every Marvel Comics character in rotation back in 1972 in order of importance, with—surprise, surprise—Quicksilver voted as one of the least important characters.
Don't feel bad for Quicksilver, though, because dude's going to be in
two movies. One can only imagine what information the "S.H.I.E.L.D." database contains..."
The interview also touched upon a recent rumor that
Joss Whedon had been brought on to
do rewrites on "S.H.I.E.L.D." at the last minute.
"That is not true," said Tancharoen. "If he has been doing it," continued Jed Whedon, "then he's changed the lines to what they were before."
