While I can live with it. I'm disappointed that Pym isn't a part of A2. With Joss Whedon in control it would have been perfect casting to bring Fillion & Baccarin back together to play Hand and Janet.

For some reason, I see Fillion as Wonder Man. I think it's the showmanship. As for Wasp, I like Jewel Staite more for the character. Baccarin has more of an exotic look...maybe Wonder Woman?!

In the Ultimate version (which arguments over if the movies are based on the ultimate versions or not) Janet is Asian or of Asian descent. Originally she's apparently from New Jersey though. So could go either way on an exotic look I guess.
Wasn't Olivia Munn suppose to be Janet in Iron Man 2? or was rumored to be her anyway before ending up having a smaller roll

Interesting. I've avoided the Ultimate books since they first came out.
I didn't hear that rumor, but glad. I can't stand Munn. I think she's a huge faker with her public persona.
Newsroom is suppose to be good, but I haven't seen it yet
and Iron Man 2 wasn't too bad was it?
she's hot if she wants to pretend she's a geek girl I can live with it
so anyway avengers 2, he is on the Nerdist podcast today and he said he had the idea for Avengers 2 before he was done with the first one
that's reassuring right?
Newsroom is kind of a mess, everyone on that show acts like the Newsroom is the most important thing anybody has ever touched in the history of existence. The first season was a real guilty pleasure for me, but Olivia Munn did not add anything to that show. Glad Whedon said that though.

So it's pretty much like every other Aaron Sorkin show.
My only experience with Olivia Munn is when she was briefly on The Daily Show. She tried to turn the criticism over that into being an issue about critics unwilling to accept an attractive woman as being funny, but the simple fact is that she really wasn't funny. I don't recall any other cast member seeming so stiff and awkward on camera. I can't imagine her handling page after page of Sorkin dialogue.

I can see Fillion as Wonder Man. Well, I could see a young Fillion as Wonder Man. He's a bit soft now.
I really like this bit of casting. That smarmy voice coming out of Ultron will be very cool.
I was going to disagree and say that Ultron's voice should be more neutral and electronic -- but then I realized how wrong that was, and that you're right: Ultron would sound kind of smarmy at that.

Is it going to be hard to make him threatening?
Smarmy and creepy and super-powerful is pretty scary. Threats make it look like they are taking you seriously, mocking you means they are so assured in their power they don't consider you a threat. (Gatchaman Crowds' iteration of Berg Katze is doing great example of this at the moment).
It makes perfect sense for Tony to create Ultron in the movie. With the shrapnel & chest piece removed, Tony could build either a straight-forward android to take his place on the team or a suit similar to the Mark 42 that has a better AI then Jarvis. The suit could upgrade itself to look more like Ultron's comic body.
This would motivate Tony to don a new Iron Man armor and rejoin the team.
I love James Spader more than most family members. I am off the wall happy
I'm with you on this. I had an audiobook narrated by Spader that just absolutely made my skin crawl (in the best possible way). His voice is fantastic.
Kind of excited about The Black List too come to think about it.
There's gonna be a TON of characters in this film!
Cap Iron Man Thor Hulk Black Widow Hawkeye Nick Fury (unless he dies in Cap2 -- Fat chance!) Maria Hill Scarlet Witch Quicksilver Vision Iron Patriot/War Machine Falcon?
Paul Bettany as the vision? I guess if Tony built Ultron this makes perfect sence.
Whoa. I was unaware they were casting for the Vision. If they're able to pull his character off properly, this could be amazing.
I'm not sure if they were even casting for the part. It makes sense to use Bettany, especially if the Iron Man movies are done. I picture the origin along the lines of:
With Tony no longer Iron Man, he creates Ultron to fill his place (which will probably look a lot like an Iron a Man suit.) Either Ultron will create Vision using Jarvis (since he's tied into Stark's infrastructure) or Tony will create Vision using a reliable AI, Jarvis, to combat Ultron.
Hopefully, Tony constructs the Silver Centurian suit.

So the only characters they need really give backstory on is Vision and Ultron but they are connected and the same for Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver. I hope they dump Iron Patriot for War Machine. Maybe Rhodey goes to work with Tony. Falcon might just be in the Cap films which would be cool.
Make it a 3 hour movie that doesn't feel like a 3 hour movie. Marvel really doesn't cause that much negative discussion over their casting. Seems be to be universally accepted along with Evangeline Lilly and we don't even know if she is actually going to be Janet.

The Munn is horrible so everything she has ever done for further confirmation of this. Cough *PERFECT COUPLES* Cough

As soon as the title was announced, I theorized that would be the case.
It's really quite nicely set up.

It flows very nicely from IM3
