Several sites that speculated that at the end of Avengers 2 there will be hints of a war between Asgard and Midgard (Earth) led by Loki would be starting. This concept would run through Thor 3 and go to Avengers 3. Thor would be caught in the middle, trying not to see a war started. The Avengers will not be trusted because of Ultron's rampage, and Asgard will be upset with Thor for abdicating. He would have to pick a side. (How Marvel is going to weave that into the continuity when it has screwball comedies like Guardians of the Galaxy coming out I don't know.)  Loki's coming back to get Thanos off his back for failing to get the Tesseract for him is one reason; Loki's desire for payback at the mortals who handed him a Nine-Realm-wide humiliating defeat is another.

The collateral damage will also be leveled on Thor's friends and love, but at the hands of humans. Eric Selvig was already locked up in a mental institution for the breakdown he suffered from Loki's possession. Here's how I see the fallout:  I can see Jane getting picked up by the government for the following -

1) Jane's been sleeping with the "enemy" for over a year - Thor and Jane may have broken up in AoU (no confirmation) and she's dating Richard the Rebound from the Dark World (why?!) but her past with Thor would be a bone of contention for some, especially Richard.  She also visited Asgard.

2) Jane is friends with Eric Selvig - the guy who unwillingly aided Loki in his alien invasion, a fact she didn't want to bring up doing her date with Richard.  It wasn't Selvig's fault, but the media never clarifies he was a victim in that situation.

3) Jane (Eric and Darcy) have worked with S.H.I.E.L.D. -  a spy agency that is now declared a terrorist organization thanks to the Black Widow's document dump of S.H.I.E.L.D./HYDRA's dirty secrets.  The trio's involvement with S.H.I.E.L.D. has no doubtledly come out in the big reveal.

4) Jane's exposure to the Aether (Thor The Dark World) - London police was ready to arrest Jane because of the Aether blast that knocked down a police officer.  What if the blast permanently harmed or killed the officer?  Fury may have told London police and  the British government to back off from Jane, but with S.H.I.E.L.D. gone, the Avengers likely trying to rebuild its image from Ultron's damage, and Thor leaving Earth Jane will have no protection from law enforcement.

The last point will be grounds for the government to bring her in for questioning, and Eric and Darcy. They are going to want information about Asgard from Jane. In all likehood she didn't tell Richard about ANY of this and he learns the truth from officials. I'm not counting on this guy to stick with her, especially if she is inprisoned for a long time.

I hope if Thor and Jane's story ends it's concluded properly on screen, not a quick mention that it's over. And I hope Jane does not rely on a guy to get her out her mess but she relies on herself.

Thoughts?
