Hell, have Agent Coulson come back as the brainpattern for the Vision. Yes, I know this would break from current continuity. No, I don’t care. Though I would hope Joss would expand his circle of actors, if only to reach new fans. ---

Though I would hope Joss would expand his circle of actors, if only to reach new fans. They’ll probably have to change Vision’s origin if they include him in the movies. IIRC there are supposed to be some rights issues with the original torch. Of course if that’s the case they could always just skip the powers and make the android become the Vision. Personally I’d love to see The Torch, Toro, and Namor be introduced in an Invaders movie, but I have doubts that’ll ever happen. ---

Interesting. So medium shots are cheap, action sequences are expensive. ---

> [@Simplicio](#): > > Seems like anything they do with a TV show budget would seem kinda rinky-dink when people still have the big-budget films fresh in their minds. I don’t think painting a body-builder green is going to cut it. I don’t think fans will have a problem with it if the story/writing is done well. ---

I’m pretty sure the Hulk won’t be part of the show. Neither will any other of the A-listers, at least for quite a bit. Joss is going to tell a smaller story, I’m sure. ---
