Iron Man 3 writer/director Shane Black recently said not to expect any other heroes from Marvel's universe in the next "Iron Man" as the plan is to go back to "self-contained single-character stories" while the bad guys will be real world type villains in the style of a Tom Clancy- written thriller.
Meantime a bunch of new pics from Avengers have dropped along with some new French character trailers for most of the team--Those are online at CineComics' Youtube Channel.
