Disney is still in negotiations with Robert Downey Jr. about reprising his role as Tony Stark in Avengers 2 (and beyond ?) but for director Joss Whedon it appears to be a done deal as he explains to The Daily Beast.

“He is Iron Man. He is Iron Man in the way that Sean Connery was James Bond. I have no intention of making Avengers 2 without him, nor do I think I’ll be called upon to do that.

“As for the new team, it’s just a blast of excitement and nerves for Hank. Remember, Hank was there on day one of the Avengers, and he was a member of West Coast Avengers as well.

INFINITY #2 Preview!

If you got a copy of Marvel’s Infinity Free Comic Book Day preview book you saw what happens when a tribute is paid to Thanos! Lots and lots of aliens die!

Infinity #1 kicks off the conflict with Earth’s Mightiest Heroes against the forces of Thanos! Marvel shared this preview of Infinity #2.

This cover by Adam Kubert shows Captain America leading the interstellar forces against Thanos!

But the teaser includes an ominous line:

“The Inhumans pay tribute”

What could that mean? Will Black Bolt and the Royal Family fight with the heroes or pledge their allegiance to Thanos? This powerful group of aliens have made pacts with villains before (Ronan the Accuser) so could they sacrifice their alliances with Earth’s heroes to save their race?

We’ll find out this summer!
