Sort of like Guardians of the Galaxy, except turned up to eleven?

Yeah, pretty much.

I'd watch the hell out of a Dazzler movie. Your trailer would be a scene where she's surrounded by armed troops, drones, and armored vehicles, she smiles, the camera pans in to show her earbuds, a thumping techno/dubstep song becomes audible, and she thrusts her hands forward, a blinding nimbus of light surrounding her, with pulsing laser beams blasting the drones out of the sky, etc.

Other trailer: as a nod to the character's origins from the Disco era, particularly Olivia Newton John and Xanadu, cast Olivia Newton John as her mom, and have the baby girl listening to the disco playing on the Hi-Fi, with glowing lights suddenly appearing around her as the baby laughs happily, much to her parents' shock.

Dazzler, the original dubstep gun?

Man, I know it doesn't have a chance in hell, but Katee Sackhoff as Capt. Marvel would be tops.



I think though that they're going to pursue Emily Blunt or Jessica Chastain or someone like that.

Katee Sackhoff would be great, but they could do far worse than Emily Blunt.

So a friend and I were discussing Infinity War. And good lord, if they manage to get EVERYONE involved, it'll be frigging crowded as heck. Imagine all these heroes teaming up at the same time to fight Thanos:

-Iron Man
-Captain America
-Thor
-Hulk
-Hawkeye
-Black Widow
-Black Panther
-Scarlet Witch
-Quicksilver
-Vision
-Star Lord
-Gamorra
-Rocket Raccoon
-Groot
-Drax
-Yondu
-Whoever else joins The Guardians in their sequel (Nova, Adam Strange, etc)
-Dr. Strange
-Whatever Inhumans join the party (Black Bolt, Medusa, etc)

And Thanos is STILL going to trounce them soundly.

My theory for how Infinity War will play out is the first half will be a hunt for the gems/stones, racing to beat Thanos to them. I could see them splitting up all the heroes and mixing them up for the fun of it. Iron Man and Star Lord, Drax and Hulk, etc. Or more likely, small teams of about half a dozen each.

And then Thanos slides the last gem into the Gauntlet. End credits.

I kind of hope that M.O.D.O.K. never actually makes an appearance in the movies.

I wouldn't mind seeing him, but he is definitely one of those creations that wouldn't work in his comic style. It's just too out there. My idea was an AI created by AIM that when activated takes the form of a giant floating head hologram, similar to say, the Wizard of Oz, who later on gains mobility though some sort of robotic projector/weapon. The only thing that wouldn't make sense then is his acronym, as the first O in "M.O.D.O.K" stands for Organism.

If they went that route, they could use Operation in place of Organism for his acronym.

It's likely that while all of them will appear in some capacity, most will be cameos. Instead, they will focus on the larger draws from each while the smaller ones will only come in when needed. I have a feeling the original Avengers and GOTG crew will get priority, while characters like Scarlet Witch, Quicksilver, Black Panther, etc, will just appear in small bursts just to remind us they are there.

Though having them all in the climax of the second movie would be totally supreme.

You're probably right, but I'm sure a fellow nerd like Whedon won't be able to hold himself back from having them ALL appear at some point.

Still, I think how much screen time the smaller heroes get will depend on how popular some get. I could see Black Panther being a surprise hit for audiences, like GotG was. Maybe not to that extent, but I could see it being popular.

I can picture Star Lord and Iron Man getting Winter Soldier hopelessly drunk during the "getting to know you" phase.

I'm also hoping that Daredevil, Luke Cage, Iron Fist, or the Agents of Shield make cameo appearances in the films. Marvel does own the rights to them after all. Here's what I was thinking. Start the Infinity War Part 1 with a standard Shield op. The Shield agents are staking out a crime syndicate that's been funneling money to Hydra. Agents Morse, May, and Hunter infiltrate the office building and take out a few goons. As they fight their way to the main offices, they learn the crime syndicate has some supervillains like Goldbug and Plunderer, and they agents are in way over their heads. Coulson orders the agents to retreat while he calls in some heavy hitters. After a few seconds, Luke Cage steamrolls his way into the lobby and he and Iron Fist proceed to beat the snot out of the supervillains. As the agents and Heroes for Hire dust themselves off, you hear Coulson on the radio.

"Good news is Hydra won't have Christmas bonuses this year. Bad news is I had to pay your backup with the last of our petty cash. Hold on... what was that, Skye? Everyone, return to base now. No time to explain. Something big just came up. I mean 'big' like 'Agent Koenig won't be playing Call of Duty until it's done' kind of big."

Then the camera shifts to a TV where a special report has just come in about a gamma bomb going off. Cue the title screen.

I thought Whedon said he was done after Avengers 2 because of Edgar Wright getting booted from Ant-Man.

Yeah, Ant-Man has been through its fair share of development hell. I like Edgar Wright's work that I've seen (Spaced, Shaun of the Dead, Hot Fuzz, The World's End) and Marvel has produced a few duds - Iron Man 3 and Thor 2 weren't painfully bad, but they did have some serious shortcomings that kept them from being particularly good - so I can't say that's a great sign. On the other hand, Edgar Wright's strengths as a director - quirky, pop-culture nuances, incredibly smart and thorough references, loving deconstructions and reconstructions of common protagonist types - might not have been especially fitting for a superhero movie.

No, they are perfect for a super hero movie. It just needs to be one that is less serious... like Kickass.

Kickass is kind of a deconstruction of the superhero genre, though - at least at the start of it, though it moves more towards an affectionate parody / homage towards the end. I haven't seen the sequel so I can't comment on that one.

Well, my prefered casting would have been Oded Fehr, but Cumberbatch is huge right now and it fits right in the rest of his "masters of esoteric knowledge" gallery of characters.

Agreed, not thrilled with it but at the same time I know it's going to be good for the film. It'll help draw more people to a lesser-known hero and that's okay in my book.
