Could There Be An ‘Iron Man 3’ Teaser Attached To The End Of ‘The Avengers’ Re-Release?

by Shawn Madden

Earlier today it was announced that Marvel Studios would be re-releasing The Avengers into theaters for one week. But something stood out and lingered in my head throughout the day. When they made the announcement they released this image:

And with the image they stated:

Marvel’s The Avengers is back in theaters for Labor Day Weekend!

Don’t forget to stay through the credits…

Now obviously by now we’ve all stayed through the credits and we’ve seen both the Thanos scene as well as the shawarma scene. One does not simply leave a Marvel movie during the credits!

So, why make it a point to state that and already show the picture of Thanos? Could they be attaching an Iron Man 3 teaser with the re-release? They do already have the footage that they screened at Comic-Con and trust me when I tell you that it looks great. That alone would be a way to pack theaters once again.

Just earlier this month a trailer description leaked out online indicating that indeed a trailer was prepared for the upcoming movie. Another thing to note is that MovieFest attendees in Dublin, Ireland will be treated to some exclusive Iron Man 3 footage on the weekend after Labor Day. This could just be the Comic-Con footage being shown in Ireland for the first time, but could very well indicate that Disney prepared footage for a trailer for the re-release which is only taking place stateside and then decided MovieFest would be another good opportunity to show it.

Guess we are going to have to wait until tomorrow to find out!

Rhys Ifans Reveals Who ISN’T In The ‘The Amazing Spider-Man’ Mid-credit Scene

by Shawn Madden

Well, if you’ve seen ‘The Amazing Spider-Man’ and have been trying to figure out just who that is in the mid-credit scene I am here to tell you who it IS but also who it is NOT.

Who IS as far as the actor in that scene is Michael Massee (‘The Crow’, ‘Fringe’, ’24’)

Who it is NOT is who many had speculated it being. Including myself. AintItCool recently spoke to Rhys Ifans, who played Curt Connors, about the scene:

AIC: Okay, what do you think about that ending?

Ifans: Well, Connors is basically locked up in a very high-security mental institution.

AIC: We were debating whether it was a prison or a mental institute.

Ifans: It’s not a zoo. [laughs] I kept seeing it as maybe a mixture of both. Then a representative from OsCorp appears miraculously in the room. How he gets in there and how he leaves, we don’t know. Maybe we will find out. But it’s not Norman Osborn.

AIC: It’s not? You can say that?

Ifans: Yeah. But it is someone who is in the employ of Norman Osborn without question.

AIC: Someone we’re familiar with, who we don’t know is employed by Osborn?

Ifans: Yeah. Who knows? Maybe he will be the next bad guy; we’ll see.

Well let the speculation begin! Could it be one of Spideys big villains? Chameleon? Mysterio? Someone else that we totally can’t think of right now?! Guess we will have to wait and see.
