Aaaaaaand no one cares.

I dunno. Marvel published an Iron Man 3 prequel comic that explained why War Machine wasn't in New York to fight the invasion. So *someone* cares.

Is he really that much of an important character that they really need for an Avengers movie?

Well hell, with that logic, plenty of characters are not "needed" for an Avengers movie. I mean, now that the team has been assembled, does SHIELD really need another big presence? The team came together and likely have a rapport that would allow them to come together again without any sort of "push" from SHIELD and Nick Fury.....yet I'm positive characters like Nick Fury and Maria Hill will show up.

Maybe for diversity, which isn't a bad thing if done right.

Well maybe depending what Stark's role is.

I'm up for this. The team has been established, and a HUGE portion of the first film was devoted to 'bringing the team together' and the wish-fulfillment of seeing things like Iron Man vs Thor, Thor's hammer vs Cap's shield, and Thor vs Hulk...this movie won't need to spend time on things like that. Also, characters like Coulson, Selvig, and even Pepper Potts ate up a decent amount of screen time, and in my opinion a character like Black Widow had a bit TOO big of a role, and Loki was certainly involved in a TON of lengthy dialogue scenes. Of course, The Avengers was an utterly fantastic film(probably my favorite of the last 5 years by far) but there are certainly ways that this film can be structured and put together in a way that allows for: Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch to have a role Iron Patriot to have a role Hawkeye to have a larger role Banner/Hulk to have a larger role Especially if they allow Whedon to go with a run time more in the 2.5 hours to 2 hour and 40 minute range.

I couldn't agree more with what you stated. the only thing I'll add, continue, is a larger role for Hulk. I remember before and after the film, everyone was going crazy for Hulk and pleading for another standalone film for him. Since it looks like we may not get one til after Phase 2, I really hope Marvel reviews the fan base and adds more Hulk! Hell, as great as WWH would be...I'd love to see Hulk vs Red Hulk!

I agree, I think they know they struck gold with the Whedon-version of Banner/Hulk and that all parties involved will be pushing for more this time around. I wouldn't be shocked if they made a point to try and actively set-up the next Hulk movie with this film. Specifically, leaving Banner on a note at the end of this film that lets you know what he'll probably be up to in his next film. For example, there was a rumor(after the debunked Planet Hulk rumors) that they were considering the 'Indestructible Hulk' plot-line where Banner/Hulk is essentially an agent of SHIELD, unleashed whenever they need him. I like that idea because it would allow them to continue to play up the 'highlight character amongst an ensemble' nature that helped Ruffalo-Banner shine so well, by having him mixed in with the various SHIELD oriented characters/environments. So at the end of Age of Ultron, perhaps Banner decides to align himself with SHIELD. It would be extremely interesting if a character like Captain America left SHIELD while Banner decided to join them. Beyond that, I think any combination of the Leader(obviously re-introduced) or Red Hulk being the villains in the next Hulk film would be a very smart move. I heard that there was a point where Whedon considered having Red Hulk in The Avengers, or that perhaps Zak Penn's original draft included him. So maybe that is still on Marvel's mind? So yes, a post Age of Ultron Hulk film in Phase 3 would be great...and I would naturally LOVE to see the one-two of Planet Hulk and World War Hulk further down the line, when more of the MCU goes cosmic. WWH could even be the plot-line for Avengers 4(Assuming Thanos would be Avengers 3)

Not. Surprised.

Please show up as War Machine!

Agreed.

As much as I hate it, I feel that Rhodie's death is absolutely necessary in this sequel...

As Tony Stark says " Ironman doesnt have any sidekicks". I'm sorry but hes right. He might of been "cooler" or had a more important role in the comics, but in the end hes just another ironman with lowergrade technology. Boring i think.

I think I might have been more excited for this is Terrance Howard was still Rhodey. I really don't like Don Cheadle.
