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.

I don’t think it’s in my interest, Marvel’s interest, or his interest, and I think everything will be fine. But I know that this is Hollywood and you roll with things. You have to be ready for the unexpected. But I loved working with Robert, and everybody knows Continue reading Joss Whedon on Robert Downey Jr and AVENGERS 2

“You know, obviously we have people from—one of the great things about this movie is that a lot of people from Marvel are here and it seems a lot more inclusive than it has been in the past. I don’t know what’s happening behind the scenes, but I think it’s fantastic,” Jackman tells Screen Rant, “I actually just asked the other day, I said, ‘I don’t know what the legal situation is, but why don’t these companies come together? Why isn’t it possible?’ Because personally, I would love to mix it up Continue reading Hugh Jackman Wants X-Men & Avengers Movie
