There's Disney Animation's announcement of a new Marvel film, the apparent prologue to Iron Man 3, studio advice to DC on how to do a Justice League movie justice, and tweeted pictures from the X-Men set, including Wolverine and a very groovy looking Professor X.
However, the biggest buzz is following the release of Iron Man 3 and speculation as to who will return in future films, especially considering how different contracts have been negotiated and which ones are currently up, specifically golden boy of the franchise, Robert Downey Jr.
The most recent news came from some comments made by Mark Ruffalo, who said that fans shouldn't worry to much, although the actors would really be some of the last to know the outcomes from different casting decisions. This came after all sorts of discussion about the contracts, which apparently favor some actors over others to a very large degree. Robert Downey Jr. reportedly got paid $50 million for Avengers compared to cast mates getting up to $200,000 for the picture, something he may push to even out in future films. There have been rumors of his impending retirement from the franchise, but so far that seems more likely to be at least after Avengers 2. Marvel Studios has said that someday they will have to move on from Robert Downey Jr. and do a sort of James Bond things, indicating that there may be no end in sight for the ever growing franchise.
