I thought Sony or whoever was still doing the Spidey movies.

The answer is no because he's a kiwi.

They are. Bells and everyone else is probably just hoping that Marvel somehow gets the movie rights back (despite the fact that Sony is specifically making this movie so they can keep the rights).

[MuMu]

And even if they do, why Civil War? Of all stories do we really want that one to hit the screen?

Barring the rights stuff, you'd basically be asking the Marvel studio to immediately begin working on the sequel, which would mean you probably wouldn't be able to fit in a Thor 2, Iron Man 3, Ruffalo Hulk 1, etc. and so on in between. Plus, I know that Edgar Wright is already working on an Ant Man script (whoever the fuck that is) so they obviously want to expand their franchises out. MAYBE you get an Avengers 2 in 2020.

Although, thinking about it, what's everybody's over/under on Marvel saturation? DC has already shown that superhero names in and of themselves aren't guaranteed blockbuster moneymakers anymore, and while Marvel has been more consistent it could only take a few Hulk-esque recasts/reboots to stretch their audience to the breaking point.

It's hardly about what we want... But c'mon, you think Marvel will let loose of this horse on it's peak? They are on a serious roll here. More so even to the fact that DC has, pretty much, a loosing Streak.

After Avengers, what are they going to do?

I like to think that with Blackwidow and Hawkeye playing a very competent B Cast so far, maybe a Shield-Related movie would be next. But they are not just going to drop this Connected unniverse... Iron Man 3 and Thor 2 are in the works. Captain America was a great movie i'm sure there will be a second one. There is a new Ghost Rider movie in the works...

From recent Marvel events, they only one i think can actually work well on screen is Civil War, and even that is hard to pull (see X Man Last Stand)

I knew Cap was going to get frozen. I knew it.

Still, the line at the end "I had a date..." seriously, I almost lost my cool in front of my friends.

[Overcast]

We shall need a Cable movie. Then a Deadpool movie. Then a Deadpool and Cable movie.

Fortunately they've got some actually competent writers on the Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes cartoon busily turning out actually good stories for the movies to stripmine.

See, I was completely in the bag for the movie throughout the entirety of the plane conversation, and I thought the look of Hayley Atwell's face when Cap finally cut out, followed by the cut to the kid in the street with the garbage pan shield would have been perfect. But to then drag it out just so we understand that he's in the present, even though we've already seen the frozen shield...

I mean, I get that it had to happen, but that would have been a great post-credits stinger so as not to ruin the flow of what we've been watching. As is, we get a really touching farewell, followed by a jarring "HEY GUYS THIS IS WHY HE HIS CALLED THE FIRST AVENGER (IT IS BECAUSE HE WILL BE IN A MOVIE CALLED THE AVENGERS)!" green screen fest that was very sour and obviously tacked on.
