History AndTheFandomRejoiced / MarvelCinematicuniverse

** [[spoiler:''Pepper'' [[AdrenalineMakeover suits]][[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2DMmBAQJ9YQ up.]]

** EdgarWright is directing ''Ant-Man''.

** It gets better: [[http://www.comicmix.com/news/2008/10/30/tartakovsky-armors-up-for-iron-man-2/ Genndy Tartakovsky storyboarding the action scenes for the sequel.]]
** Marvel also had a go at this with what can only be described as a preemptive Fandom Rejoice moment with the film's [[TheStinger post-credits sequence]] - [[spoiler: Nick Fury, the UltimateMarvel version (based on SamuelLJackson), actually played ''by'' SamuelLJackson. Though, part of the agreement to use his likeness in the comics was that he'd have exclusive rights to play the character in films]].

** JonFavreau left after ''Iron Man 2''. Fans only started to believe the third movie would work after Shane Black, of ''LethalWeapon'' and ''KissKissBangBang'' fame, was signed to replace him.
** Ladies and Gentlemen: Ben Kingsley is [[spoiler: The Mandarin]].
** [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5EjG-1U3wqA Trailer]] for ''Iron Man 3''. Holy crap, [[spoiler:is that Extremis in action???]]
*** [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ke1Y3P9D0Bc Another trailer is here.]]
* The casting of Creator/SamuelLJackson as Nick Fury. Marvel fans will know that the Nick Fury of the "UltimateMarvel" universe was specifically designed based on [[BaldBlackLeaderGuy his]] [[{{Badass}} mannerisms]], years before the Film/IronMan movies.
** Actually Jackson allowed them to use his image if and only if [[AscendedFanboy he got to play Nick Fury when they started making Marvel movies.]]

** For Australian fans, the casting of ChrisHemsworth as TheMightyThor himself. The casting of NataliePortman as Jane Foster is also a bright spot in the cast.
*** And KatDennings as Darcy was also well accepted (particularly by her fans).
** And directed by KennethBranagh.
** Idris Elba as Heimdall was part this and [[BlackVikings part]] WTHCastingAgency. Now that the movie's out, [[MemeticBadass there are definitely no regrets about that choice]].
** Creator/JeremyRenner as {{Hawkeye}}.
** Wonder who the other villain besides Loki will be in the sequel? Hmmm-wait, Creator/ChristopherEccleston will be playing Malekith the Accursed? This just keeps getting better and better.

*** And TommyLeeJones is in the cast! (for Cap himself, considering Creator/ChrisEvans was the best on those ''Film/FantasticFour'' films, no one complained)
*** Creator/ChrisEvans as Steve Rogers has officially fallen into this trope with the [[http://popwatch.ew.com/2010/10/28/captain-america-chris-evans-2/ recent Entertainment Weekly article]] and, especially, [[http://ifanboy.com/content/articles/FIRST_LOOK__Captain_America_Photos_from_Entertainment_Weekly the photos inside]].
*** The title of the sequel? [[spoiler:''The [[BuckyBarnes Winter Soldier]]'']].
**** And other characters joining in on the fun in April 2014? [[spoiler: Black Widow, Crossbones, Sharon Carter, and The Falcon. Hell yes.]]

** ...Was that a ''Skrull'' in one of the trailers?
*** They turned out to be Chitauri instead, but it was still pretty damn awesome, so nobody's complaining.
** This extended to the score, with Creator/AlanSilvestri returning from ''CaptainAmericaTheFirstAvenger'' (whose music was a hit with many) and thus becoming the first composer since Marvel began backing their own films to score two movies.
** So ''Film/TheAvengers'' was pretty great, huh? It's a shame we never found out who the master of that creepy guy who gave Loki his army was, but oh we-...oh, here he is! Wait, did he just mention [[spoiler: "courting death"]]?! Oh my God, is that [[spoiler:{{Thanos}}]]?! HELL YES!

* The aforementioned convention also revealed a release date and a promotional image for a ''GuardiansOfTheGalaxy'' movie. There was MUCH rejoicing.

* [[spoiler: Clark Gregg]] is reprising his role as [[spoiler: [[PhilCoulson Agent Coulson]]]] in the upcoming [[{{Series/SHIELD}} S.H.I.E.L.D.]] series.

*** [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ke1Y3P9D0Bc The new trailer is here.]]

This is basically the entire planet's response to the notion of the Marvel Universe put on film. So far, the films haven't disappointed.

*** [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ke1Y3P9D0Bc The new trailer is here.]] Need this Troper explain ''anything?''
