You wouldn’t think Iron Man’s armor could be cooler, but these mashups designed by DeviantArtist JonBolerjack in collaboration with JJKirby prove otherwise. He’s taken the Avengers and given them Star Wars Clone Trooper makeovers. Iron Man, Captain America, Thor, Hawkeye and even the Hulk are sporting brand new armor and look ready to save the world from pretty much anything.

We’ve all got ideas about what should happen in the upcoming Star Wars Episode VII but no one has ideas as out there as epic as Patton Oswalt. First a movie poster was made and now there’s even a video. Sit back, relax, and watch Oswalt’s vision come to life after the break.
The rumor mill is grinding away in regards to Avengers 2, specifically who’ll be added to the team and who might be returning.
Joss Whedon confirmed that brother/sister team Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch will be a part of Avengers 2, but he’s not saying how they fit into the bigger picture.
Per his interview with Eric Goldman of IGN:
“You know, they had a rough beginning. They’re interesting to me because they sort of represent the part of the world that wouldn’t necessarily agree with The Avengers. So they’re not there to make things easier. I’m not putting any characters in the movie that will make things easier.”
As to who may or may not be returning, there’s been talk that Robert Downey Jr. has been playing hardball with Marvel now that his contract with them is up for negotiation. Couple that with how things were left in Iron Man 3 and it might lead people to question whether Tony Stark will be back.
IRON MAN 3 SPOILERS AHEAD:
On that note, Joss had this to say:
“Well, I feel like in Iron Man 3, even though he said, ‘I’ve changed’ — he blew up his remote suits, but I don’t think anybody thinks he doesn’t have one anymore. The question is, if The Avengers are called, does he show up? And the answer is, ‘Yes!’”

If you’ve been wondering how Agent Coulson can be a part of Joss Whedon’s upcoming Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. series after appearing to die in The Avengers, read on. Needless to say, possible spoilers are ahead.
A tipster for /Film claims that the pilot for the series will reveal that Nick Fury faked the whole thing just to give the Avengers a cause behind which they could all unite. This is a theory that has been tossed around before, so take it with a grain of salt.
Some S.H.I.E.L.D. members were in on it (including, possibly, Maria Hill played by Cobie Smulders) but The Avengers were not. Their security clearance wasn’t high enough. Coulson was forced to hold his breath as part of the ruse and that’s a point of contention among his colleagues After the fact, Fury moved him to a remote location until things died down, and then he was reinserted into duty at the time of the show.
Nothing too crazy in that scenario, in fact, it’s very, very plausible. The bit about them not having security clearance seems weak, but a manipulative Nick Fury seems right on target. How he actually survived being stabbed isn’t touched on at all, but I’m sure that could be explained away with a super-secret medical procedure and a bit of high-tech S.H.I.E.L.D. body armor. Regardless, Coulson is going to be pissed about his trading cards.
What do you guys think?
