so, the just-announced title of 'Avengers 2.' thoughts on how this will play out, and what will happen with Thanos?

Heres how I think it should play out:

Ant Man movie comes out before Avengers 2, introduces Hank and Wasp, Hank should have a prototype or perhaps a completed version of Vision--which probably explains all the Vin Diesel rumors lately. Teases dangerous invention of Ultron, post-credits stinger perhaps? Phase 2 movies could show further stingers of Ultron becoming self-aware and whatnot. Of course the movie itself will not be able to follow the Age of Ultron storyline, I think they just chose it for it's catchy name, and since it's been thrown around a lot lately, people will feel more familiar to it.

I'm glad they're doing the biggest terrestrial threat in Avengers 2, because it means they'll top it with Avengers 3 taking them into the cosmos to fight Thanos!

Ant Man has already been confirmed to be released after Avengers 2

@redlantern23: oh man you're right. well that's probably for the better, seeing as he isn't very popular in the public eye, so it's safer for them to introduce him in a team scenario with less focus on him.

@nightcrawler358: Agreed (somewhat). I think it'd be easier for them to introduce him Avengers 2 as the person who's ultimately responsible for Ultron and then show us more of who he is after the fact in his own movie. Still, though, Edgar Wright made me like Michael Cera--a feat that hasn't been accomplished since Arrested Development. So, I'm willing to surrender to optimism in this case.

Antman won't have anything to do with ultron iron man will be the creator
