They are never getting X-Men or Deadpool back at this point (Disney doesn't do R-rated films so DP would lose something) and it's a way to bring some big characters back into the MU fold. Considering how poorly Marvel has done with most of their villains, bringing in Doctor Doom and Galactus would be huge. I think Disney would do an R rated film. They signed off on the Marvel/Netflix series that are R rated so a film like Deadpool could definitely have happened by Disney.

The average Asgardian is a lot stronger and tougher than, say, Captain America, and in the last Thor movie several of them dogpiled on and brought down a character with Hulk-level power in a flashback.

Who many credit with bailing Marvel out financially from bankruptcy... but debatably at great creative cost.

JessePinkman June 7, 2016 Share June 7, 2016 We've still got at least 4 more years of Iron Man being around...I mean, he's certain to be in Infinity War 1 and 2. I do think we're done with solo Iron Man movies which is fine with me, his relationships with other heroes is far more interesting than his solo adventures. 2 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/8991-the-marvel-cinematic-universe-the-avengers-etc/page/35/#findComment-2312344
KatWay June 8, 2016 Share June 8, 2016 I think as long as RDJ wants to be in these movies, he will be. He is a box office draw, is very good at promo and he was a major part of making the MCU what it is today. I can't imagine he'll want to do them forever. Right now he's earning a LOT of money though so I totally see why he's still there. And to be fair, at least in Civil War, his performance really stood out for me. He's not phoning it in. 8 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/8991-the-marvel-cinematic-universe-the-avengers-etc/page/35/#findComment-2313250

I thought that this was part of Robert Downey Jr's new contract with Marvel - no more solo films, but Ironman will appear in other MCU films. I hear/read rumors that Marvel is trying to work on a similar deal with both Chris Evans and Chris Hemsworth.

Danny Franks June 8, 2016 Share June 8, 2016 After Cap 3, I don't want to see RDJ's mug in a Marvel movie again. 'Oh, it's totally a Captain America movie, even with Iron Man in it. We're not making it all about Tony and his manpain again, honest!' The only safe place might be Guardians of the Galaxy 2, but I suspect they'll figure out a way to shoehorn him into that as well. Perhaps so he can angst over the memories of his last trip to space. 6 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/8991-the-marvel-cinematic-universe-the-avengers-etc/page/35/#findComment-2313782

CEvans said in an interview (Rolling Stone iirc) that he extended from 6 to 7 movies, thru Infinity War2. He's also said he's willing to do more for as long as they want him. I hope they keep him because Chris is Captain America. RDJ seems to be contracting on a film by film basis now. 4 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/8991-the-marvel-cinematic-universe-the-avengers-etc/page/35/#findComment-2313788

Bruinsfan June 9, 2016 Share June 9, 2016 Intelligent and wise are two different things. Stark may be a brilliant inventor, but he has terrible judgment and pretty poor understanding of the people around him. 5 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/8991-the-marvel-cinematic-universe-the-avengers-etc/page/35/#findComment-2315977
