The other actors like Evans, Hemsworth, and Ruffalo have 6-picture deals. Jackson and Smulders are the only ones with 9-picture deals as of this moment.

So Downey's not even contracted for Avengers 2?

This.

She was perfect for the role she was cast for. If Marvel goes Infinity Gauntlet for A2, Fury should be one of the first "casualties," with Hill taking over in his place until everything is fixed at the end of the movie.

I think she's good too, I just hope she gets more to do next time.

She got plenty of screen time in Avengers, she just didn't get to display any depth.

That's what I mean, screen time doesnt really equal doing anything. A bunch of SHIELD agents got a lot of screen time, yet didn't amount to doing much

On the radio station here, they had a contest for people to answer a question and win tickets to Battleship. Two people in a row called up, answered, and then found out the prize and said they didn't want the prize. It was hilarious.

He would be stupid not to sign another contract. It is obvious he loves playing Stark it's a no brainer he'd continue.

That's fantastic. I've never heard someone reject a radio call-in prize.

I saw it again this weekend. I think this is the first live-action movie where the superheroic combat actually looked like I always envisioned it in my head.
