Will there ever been a solo female superhero movie? With the recent successes of comic books starring women (the all-female X-Men, Fearless Defenders, Captain Marvel, The New 52 Wonder Woman, Batgirl and Batwoman) is the time right?

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.

“I’m very excited about the villain, and have a lot to say about him. But if you watch my shows, the one thing I’ve never been very good at is guest stars, Whedon tells Empire Magazine, “because I’ve always been interested in the ensemble. With The Avengers, I’m still most fascinated by them.”
So now we do Continue reading Joss Whedon Teases AVENGERS 2 Villain
