The Japanese trailer of The Wolverine is more or less the one we have seen before but with added Japanese voice over and text. Anybody hear understand Japanese? The title is apparently Wolverine: Samurai in Japan.

Thor 2 trailer was good but not great. I think I was spoiled by the Superman trailer. The "enemy as old as time itself" stuff is a little tired but if the villains themselves are capable and complex, I'll give it a pass. As for the whole "Why don't the Avengers assemble for this?" I think Thor and the Asgardians probably see this as their problem and are too proud to ask for help anyway. There might be a throwaway line as to why the Avengers don't help in this, but that's all I expect.

RDJ essentially plays the same snark role that Spiderman played during his stint with the Avengers.

Also Spiderman imo works way better on a street level rather than the large stage.

There's so much money to be made in cross-promotion that it's ridiculous to think about it, haha. If Fox/Sony managed to put Andrew Garfield and Hugh Jackman into The Avengers 2 as Spider-Man and Wolverine, that would be loving bonkers.

That and the Avengers are Earth's Mightiest Heroes. Not Asgard's. They have a vested interest in the protection of Earth, but the scope really doesn't carry much outside that. (Thor, obviously, feels this same connection as he feels responsible for introducing interstellar war to Earth).

I agree somewhat. Though I am admittedly unfamiliar with any story line in the last fifteen years, I would still say that Tony Stark is acting very much as the focal point of the Avengers (in respect to the first one, I mean), so there is still some space for a wise-rear end. I could just SO see a Spiderman cameo like Wolverine's in First Class. Just maybe a quick web sling to save someones life, he cracks a joke, and swings off. Enough to get the audience to go wild.

Like teagone said, it would be such a revenue driver. On the other hand, I know studio's are notoriously inflexible, so the likeliness of it happening is zero.

It would also be a completely useless scene for no reason other than fan service. I doubt Avengers 2 is going to be shorter than Avengers and that movie was already too long, so there is no real benefit. The Wolverine cameo in First Class is part of a montage of recruiting mutants and it's likely that not everyone they approach will sign on, so it makes sense from that perspective, it also ties the film into the other X-Men movies, which is important if you want to maintain a sense of continuity, since the entire cast is different. Also it, and I have no idea if they were planning on making a Days of Future Past movie when they made First Class, makes it easier to do a sequel with two different actors playing Xavier and Magneto in different time lines.

The best way for other superheros to have cameos that don't suck is for them to be in the news somehow in a totally unrelated way - a headline or an anchorman in the background talking about events in some other city.

Hollywood can work different. I remember reading about Microsoft coming into Hollywood and throwing their weight around trying to pit the studios against each other demanding huge concessions and percentages until all studios bowed out but 2 and those two had the execs meet over lunch and agree that one would get international distribution and the other domestic (or something like that) and completely took away Microsoft's leverage also killing the Halo movie.

If Disney and Sony agree to something like one has domestic and one has international who knows. It just takes some forward thinking individuals to go "We all could make oodles of money so let's work it out." But, as you say, odds are no one wants some gently caress up to happen and be responsible for losing out.

I feel like that would be a never ending lawsuit. With how terrible studios are at paying their own people, I wonder how much of a clusterfuck it would be for them to sort out going even-steven on a movie like that. Maybe establish a third production company.

Studios won't co-operate because they basically hate each other.
Look at the Adam West Batman TV series, still not available on DVD. That show would ABSOLUTELY rake in the cash, but because WB & Fox can't agree on the rights, it languishes in limbo.
Studios want all or nothing, 50/50 arrangements means their opponents get a cut and they can't stand that.

I think eventually they are going to tackle a redemption arc for Loki and using the Kid Loki plot, but maintaining Tom Hiddleston (the main reason I watch the Marvel films) would be a really good idea for it - it's suitably cosmic.

Marvel made these deals way back when they were either in or near-bankruptcy. Basically, as long as the studios make movies within a certain time frame, they retain the rights to keep making movies.

Edit: As far as the Fox deal, I thought Disney just got back animation rights.

It's not going to happen because Avengers 2 will make an enormous ton of money with or without Spider-Man in it. From a financial point of view you're forking over a wodge of the profits of your biggest film of the year to one of your business competitors for no reason.

*shudder*, that reeks of an executive looking at the Avengers' profits and saying "gently caress what can we do that's like that?" I don't know how it'd be any good, as the FF and X-Men don't work that well together, and there's very little reason for them to intersect beyond "WORLD IN PERIL WORLD IN PERIL" crap.
