I like it, but yeah, some of the sizes of people are strange w/ how they're arranged.

recent comic book movie poster, looks 10/10 compared to the recent avengers one, which i'd rate 1/10

where clearly the Marvel one is like... ok the main 4, lets make them 1.5x size.

black widow and shiteye we can keep at 1x

SLJ we can make 0.8x

the Twins we can make 0.5x since they're new

and keep vision at 0.25x in the background since he'll be the Act3 reveal.

It's sort of par for the course when it comes to Marvel movie posters. They tend to just throw as many things as they can fit, adjust sizes of people based on how good of agents they have, and call it a day. About the only decent poster they've put out isGuardians of the Galaxy, and that was because they limited it to just the five primary heroes and didn't need toslap in the love interest, the hero's father, the villain, the other villain, the hero's friends, and Idris Elba in the corner for good measure.

I'm guessing The Infinity Wars poster will be the size of a billboard.

Thor:the dark world.
Staring Idris Elba as mecha maid. Vacuuming up all the air of planet Niflheim.

Supposedly a major announcement regarding Robert Downing Jr. in 8 days. Either he is leaving the cast after A2 or they picked up a few more Iron Man movies.

This is via his Facebook and Twitter

I'd hate to see him fully leave; he's just too good as Tony Stark. If he really wants to get out due to age/time constraints/whatever, I'd love to see him at least return just as Tony Stark in minor cameos/supporting roles in future Marvel movies.

Perhaps I'm reading too much into it, but the fact that RDJ is the one who leaked the announcement makes me think it'll be for continued appearances. He really doesn't seem like the type of guy who would hype up an announcement just to say he's leaving. I'm crossing my fingers anyways. I still want an Iron Man/Hulk movie.

that and he has been signed on to play Iron Man in captain america 3, Civil war. And as i recall, he was the one pushing Marvel to make civil war happen.

"& on the DL, big announcement in 8 days. "

from his twitter.
sounds positive so i'm thinking probably guest appearance on SHIELD. and it's not gonna be a tiny cameo, probably something like "Coulson your alive!" type shit.

The dude is making so much fucking money off of being Tony Stark, of course he is going to keep it going. He had to play hard ball with Disney to renew his contract and keep the money train rolling. As long as they stop with the retarded plot lines, I think he will keep doing 2-4 more movies.

I don't think it's been a matter of whether or not RDJ wants to continue to play the role, but whether or not Marvel wants to keep writing huge checks to him.

There is no way that RDJ is announcing he is done with Marvel before A2 comes out. Has to be some sort of extension/resigning.

Not like Marvel doesn't make a killing on films he's in, I think it's mainly a matter of him tiring of the role.
Marvel is known for having lower paying contracts, which is a lot of the reason the heroes they cast have been lesser-known names. Even when RDJ was cast as Tony Stark, that was back after his jailtime when he really wasn't in high demand (he wasn't even the highest paid actor in the first Iron Man). But now, due to Marvel not initially signing RDJ to as many movies as they now want him for (a lot of the others signed six-movie or more picture deals), his pay has exploded to eight digits. He made somewhere between $50 and $70 million dollars for Avengers whereas the rest of the cast made around10% of that or less. Even RDJ admits that Marvel is "so pissed" at his payday, so there have been a lot of rumors that Marvel is looking to build the Avengers around a new central character or even recast Iron Man, both of which are a possibility considering his contract is up after Infinity War.

RDJ, on the other hand, has expressed interestto continue playing the character.

?It?s that thing of: why give up the belt when it feels like you can barely get jabbed?? Most people are saying that right when they get knocked out.?
He's the reason Iron Man will have such a big part in the next Captain America movie. Marvel initially only wanted him for a small part.
