"Thanos is the good "˜Who's that,' because he's clearly a bad guy, for comic fans he represents a specific storyline, you can get the buzz started from fans to non-fans with that cameo – as opposed to a title character, who deserves their own story. Even Black Widow you don't meet in the last two seconds of Iron Man 2 wearing her costume – you evolve that going forward."
Well, that definitely clears it.
But there's more. The fact they canceled Captain Marvel's appearance in Age of Ultron made room for another opportunity. And this one concerns Scarlet Witch and her future with the Avengers.
Scarlet Witch in Captain America: Civil War?
Here's how Feige puts it:
"The way we reveal Scarlet Witch [in costume] at the end of the movie? Those were Captain Marvel plate shots. Joss said, "˜We'll cast her later!' And I said, "˜Yeah Joss, we'll cast her later.' [Whispers to an invisible associate who isn’t Joss] "˜We're not putting her in there!'"
And, indeed, this seems to open a new horizon for Scarlet Witch.
"Finally Joss was like "˜Let's use those plates to let Scarlet Witch fly into frame, give her a big entrance?' And that makes sense – she's come to their side, and she deserves the cool intro, which will feed into another movie we start shooting in a few weeks."
Did I hear this right? In my ears, it sounds like Scarlet Witch is in for Captain America: Civil War. So, this is practically a confirmation, though the exact words are not uttered.
What do you guys think? Am I reading too much into Feige's account? If Age of Ultron is Scarlet Witch's intro, doesn't it make sense to see her in Civil War? But, of course, this time as a full-blown Avenger!
Have your say below! Captain America: Civil War comes to theaters May 6th, 2016.
