[h2]Question #5: What other Avengers might join “Earth’s Mightiest Heroes?”[/h2]
The first movie gave us a core team of six – Captain America, Thor, Iron Man, Hulk, Black Widow and Hawkeye – but in the comics, The Avengers are made up of dozens of heroes, active and reserve, and spread across several teams from the New, the Mighty, the Secret, the Young, and even occasionally the West Coast. But if Pym/Ant Man ends up joining the team, who else might we expect?
Maybe The Falcon? The character is already being introduced in the upcoming Captain America: The Winter Soldier and will be played by Anthony Mackie. Whedon himself talked about mutant twins Quicksilver and the Scarlet Witch playing a big role in the film, even though Bryan Singer is also using Quicksilver in his X-Men: Days of Future Past. Aaron Taylor-Johnson has been talked about for the fast moving Quicksilver while Saoirse Ronan has been suggested for the magical Scarlet Witch.
That’s about four contenders right there, and though Ultron is a powerful adversary, we know that screen time can be cruel as well as kind when we’re talking about a superhero team movie (ask any X-Men member not named Jackman). Still, there’s a strong case to be made for Ms. Marvel, Spider-Woman, Wonder Man, Vision, Swordsman, Namor, Mockingbird, Tigra, She-Hulk etc.
So there you have it. Hopefully that clears up some of your questions about Ultron and what direction Marvel may be taking Avengers: Age of Ultron in. If you’re still confused, or wondering about anything else, feel free to head down to the comments and let us know what you’re thinking.
