that Thor and Captain America will NOT be in the third installment. Some blog called BadAss digest made that claim today and other blogs are running with the story. To my understanding Chris Evans and Chris Hemsworth are contracted to do Avengers 3 - a point that was not picked up by Badass. And the last rumor about Avengers 3 is that Loki will lead Asgard into war with Earth. What gives? Is Marvel throwing out drips and drabs and bloggers cook up the rest just they can get clicks? Or is Marvel is just switching up just to keep up interest.... since the MCU is planned out to 2028? (Who works for them, Nostradamus?)  Marvel needs to be mindful that not everyone that goes to its movies lives and breathes the comics. The studio thinks it can throw everything but the kitchen sink out there everyone will come running. They were fortunate with Guardians of the Galaxy; lightening may not strike again. Cap and Thor have fan bases, they may not be willing to patronize A3 if they are gone. Robert Downey Jr. is a major favorite that gets a HUGE paycheck from Marvel, but check some blogs there are signs of Stark fatigue showing. Marvel should not take its patrons for granted.
