Marvel big shot Kevin Feige recently talked to Comic Book Resources and chatted quite a bit about "Iron Man 2," "Captain America" and "The Avengers." He definitely had a couple of interesting things to say about the anticipated "Iron Man" follow-up, and you can check out the best quotes just below.
On what they wanted to improve in "Iron Man 2," Feige said he wants the showdown in No. 2 to be more spectacular. He said,
"I don’t know, I think our end battle this time will be slightly more epic in scale. It’s that balance of delivering the character. All we really care about in these movies are the characters. But also, delivering a spectacle."
Feige also mentioned the role of Samuel L. Jackson as Nick Fury (who showed up at the end of the first film), and how he will appear in the sequel:
"In this movie, he opens that door a little bit more for Tony and invites him to walk through it. Tony may or may not do that in this movie. But Nick Fury is the conduit through which all the characters will connect."
As far as the upcoming "The First Avenger: Captain America," is concerned, Feige said casting should last a couple of months. He also said this:
"'Captain' is going to start prep in October. We already have some concept artists working on it. Joe Johnston is finishing up 'Wolfman' now. We’re deep into the script and he was in the office with us recently. We open the offices officially in October."
Feige also mentioned "Thor" and "The Avengers," and you should also check out what else he had to say about "Iron Man 2," which will hit theaters May 7, 2010 with Robert Downey Jr. in the lead.
