I love that they seem to be saving Cap for last. They were almost ashamed of him in the promotional material for The Avengers.

So now waiting on Hawkeye and Cap...and maybe possibly Scarlett Witch, Quicksilver and Vision (aka The Vision).

Also, we know from the poster credits that Falcon, Agent Peggy Carter, & Heimdall will appear.

Plus RDJ teased that late next week there would be an exciting announcement. Lots of speculation out there. Anything from new trailers, to casting of any of Spidey, Captain Marvel, to more Iron Man appearances (either IM4 or more appearances in other Marvel flix ala his upcoming role in Cap 3) or maybe just the full Vision reveal. Marvel has not shown a good shot of him on film or in any artwork yet, So maybe a poster for him or a clip of him...of course it may not be Marvel at all and could be an announcement of Sherlock Holmes 3, The Judge 2, Less Than Zero 2, or introducing RDJ as Hercule Perrot or revealing he is the voice of Groots tree girlfriend in Guardians 2

Looks SICK!

I don't see Aquaman. I just see Khal Drogo with fish-scale armor and a trident.

They just released a revised Aquaman photo...apparently its like the dress photo...in a different light he looks like...

Still better than the proposed suit that Vinny Chase almost had to wear in Entourage:

Holy Vision.

 

[GATTACA!]

Quicksilver looks OP again.

 

[philipm31]

Again?

He looks like a teenager with white hair.

And honestly, he is moving at the speed of sound, or could be. If he is, imagine the kind of force that punch would have and it is not hard to consider him being able to lay out a mere mortal like Captain America, Super-Soldier Serum or not.

And in comparison to The Flash, QS is moving in super slomo.

I agree moving at that speed thats what would happen if QS punched someone. My problem is that he is moving that fast in the first place, just like in DoFP. QS is supposed to be able to move slightly faster than the speed of bullets IIRC. At the speeds he is moving now he could kill captain america/ black widow/ hawkeye/ any non super powered hero in 2 seconds. That makes him overpowered in my opinion.

 

[philipm31]

His top speed has always been near or faster than the speed of sound, iirc

EDIT:

Quicksilver is a mutant capable of moving and thinking at superhuman speeds. Originally capable of running at the speed of sound, exposure to the High Evolutionary's Isotope E made it possible for the character to run at supersonic speeds of up to Mach 10 and resist the effects of friction, reduced oxygen, and kinetic impact while moving at super-speeds. The character's speed allows him to perform feats such as create cyclone-strength winds; run up walls and cross bodies of water.

Basically, they depowered Quicksilver.

Well the speed of sound would be perfect thats like 760 mph, as opposed to the speed of bullets at 1700 mph. In DoFP he can basically freeze time, that's a completely different power. It would be cool to see him be able to easily dodge bullets, but not run around a room and change the trajectory of every single one and slice anyones throat he felt like.

Like the Flash?

Oh yeah i'm sure I will have the same problem with the Flash when DC does it. I just think going that speed they can kill pretty much anyone they want. It just works better on the page than the screen.

 

[wizards8507]

We don't know how Marvel is going to present Quicksilver's powers. They've "powered down" several of their heroes to make them more presentable on screen. An example would be the Hulk, who should in theory get bigger and stronger the angrier he gets. MCU Hulk seems to only have an "on" and "off" setting. He's either Hulk or he's not.

Another example is Thor. When Thor shows up in the comics, it's like "OH SHIT, THOR'S HERE... fight over."

I can't stop watching that trailer. Why is May 1st taking so long to get here?

Saw this on the superherohype forums:

My mate said that if you watched the MCU and included all the episodes of AoS and all the episodes that will come out before AoU is released.

Then starting today with Iron Man and watching a film/episode a day you would finish on 23rd April right in time for AoU in some countries.

Now that is the ultimate marathon.

I was just going by the look we get of him in the newest trailer

Idk, doesn't look like he's going that fast to me.

Let's assume Cap is falling at an acceleration of 9.8 m/s/s from a height of 1.83 meters

(Final Velocity) ^ 2 = (Initial Velocity) ^ 2 + 2 * (Gravity) * (Distance)

Initial Velocity = 0

(Final Velocity) ^ 2 = 2 * (Gravity) * (Distance)

(Final Velocity) ^ 2 = 2 * 9.8 * 1.83

Final Velocity = sqrt(35.868)

Final Velocity = 6 m/s

Time = (Final Velocity - Initial Velocity) / (Acceleration)

Time = (6 - 0) / 9.8

Time = 0.6 seconds

So if it took Cap 0.6 seconds to fall, Quicksilver really didn't get that far for all his super speed. A sound wave would have traveled 204 meters in that time, and he was barely able to turn a corner and make it five feet.
