Jeremy Renner would probably love them for it, but that's a tough sell.
Ages, or even relative ages, of movie Avengers are kind of difficult to figure. Especially if movie time isn't passing at the same rate as actor time. Like having 6 months between Iron Man and Iron Man 2.
They might not very precisely align to actor ages but I feel more than a decade off is pushing it.
I have been thinking that superhero stories, as seen in comics, are not really movies. Screenwriting book says a movie is the most important day in a character's life; a tv show episode is what happens to them every day. Movies are all origin stories because that's the big day, for a superhero. They have a few more defining moments maybe, but those are the epic comics arcs you hear about decades later. Most of the time, comics are just another day at the superhero office. TV is more like comics. But more people like watching the movies than reading the comics. ( Read more... )
