That dig about wanting Iron man and not Tony Stark? I think that was just setting up some comedic tension between Shield and Tony :). Considering the scene at the end of Incredible Hulk it appears that Shield and Tony have more or less made up since Iron man 2 (slightly annoying that they are making these movies out of sync).[/QUOTE]

Well, here's hoping you're right.[/QUOTE]

He is. RDJ is already signed up, and every single source of information about the movie has him attached to it. You're reading too much into a single line from Iron Man 2.

Downey Jr is going to be on Avengers. It's not a hope thing. It's a fact of life. They would have a RIOT on their hands if they had ANYONE ELSE play Iron Man for the next decade.

I have a feeling Norton will eventually get into the movie. I seem to recall hearing that Sam Jackson was originally NOT planned to be in the Avengers, too.

Still, if not, it's a shame because I liked his take on Bruce Banner.

Want to bet on your feeling?

He's given an official statement. His agent has given an official statement. Marvel has given an official statement.

There is now a better chance of Marlon Brando playing Bruce Banner than there is of Norton returning. Seriously.

Yeah but Marlon Brando's agent would have given Marvel an offer they couldn't refuse.

Edit: And then he would have shown up grossly overweight without having read the script and insisted on improvising his scenes making the entire production go even further behind schedule.

Yeah...well...there's a better chance of your FACE playing Bruce Banner.

They refused it entry cause they said it looked too much like Bruce Willis' and I had to change it slightly if I wanted to register.

I can totally picture him in the meek Bruce Banner role... has he done similar nerdy/awkward roles? I seem to have memories of him being like that but I can't recall from where

As far as Norton being removed from this picture goes...well, I can understand it. I've heard the claims about the level of creative control he tries to exert on films he is in and I can understand Marvel not exactly wanting to risk that on what is bound to be a expensive ensemble picture. And considering the less than desired box office performance of Incredible Hulk, I can see them feeling that replacing Norton is a valid financial option. We will have to see how it works out.

And as far as that line of dialogue about "wanting Iron Man, not Stark", that is just Marvel leaving themselves options. RDJ plays a very bombastic Tony Stark and it might be to their benefit to not have him in every team scene. Having him be Fury's right hand man would allow for him to be a major character in the flick, without having him "drown out" Captain America...especially since Don Cheadle's Rhodey could make a damn fine SHIELD Iron Man. Likewise, one can easily imagine RDJ's Stark entering the field unasked, delivering a pithy line about consulting in the field to Sam Jackson when called on it.

Like I said, options.

Nathan Fillion?? OMGYES. Please please please let him get the role. It would make sense with Joss Whedon at the helm, too.
