This talk of getting Hulk another feature in 2015 - I think that's the next ideal window for Avengers 2. So just keep Hulk in that series for now and make that the big release for 2015.

Iron Man 3.
RDJ says Iron Man 3 is shaping up to be better than the previous two... he of course has a horse in the race, but I"m buying. The first one was excellent and i think they'll learn from the second ones mistakes and make number 3 the best yet. Plus, I'm interested to see how they will top the jetpack mark 7 from Avengers.
But of the list Iron Man 3 definitely, Stark's always been my favorite Avenger, (unless you count the new Avengers with Spiderman) And of course RDJ makes his movie's/character even more awesome.
Based on news n rumors for IM3 here's my hopes. Tony's thinking more about Caps comment in Avengers about what is he without the armor. To move on he needs to become more than jus a guy in a suit. Meanwhile we find the ten rings terrorist rising to form a plan to humiliate Stark n break him down to nothing. They have ties to Dr. Aldrich Killian, whose experiment they plan to steal and use on their leader The Mandarin. After their first encounters Mandarin has Stark truly broken down thinking he's nothing without his armor, which has been taken from him finally. But he sacrifices himself trying to stop them. To save his life he's given the Extremis virus and after his recuperation he is able to update his armor to respond only to him via mental commands. Using the newest upgraded armor he takes what is his and defeats The Mandarin and the ten rings finally proving to himself he's now much more then a man in a suit.
I am pretty interested in Cap 2 also thou. I'm hoping for allot of flashbacks to the unseen battles before his final fight with Red Skull and freezing that are able to connect to current events with him adjusting to being "out of time". Finding how the world has really changed and the America he knew n believed in has long since gone or proved to be a lie. He meets up with some of the few people he knew still alive but very old. Baron Zemo could make for an interesting villain/twist. Maybe Cap is shocked to find he's still alive only to discover in the end it was his son. Seeing how hate can spread even after death. Perhaps after a dishearten Cap says to Shield he's done only in the end to decide no he's the one that won't corrupt or give up on the american dream. Even if the America now is nothing as it should of been he's not stopping. He's fighting for the idea the american dream and not necessarily the government!

Iron Man 3: Said to be better than the first two according to RDJ. We do know it will be introducing many elements of the Extremis arc, which would be freaking awesome to see in live action. The ramifications and evolution of Tony actually becoming the armor would be nice to see.
Thor 2: Will showcase the other realms and likely give us greater scenery because of it. Personally hoping for the likes of Surtur or Hela as well as the development of Loki, who imo, stole the show (or a great deal of it) in the Avengers. With the entire cast returning for this one apparently, it will be sweet to see Asgard again and how they deal with things.
Captain America 2: Honestly, I'm the most pumped for this. Modern Day Cap allows us to build upon the Marvel Cinematic Universe more, specifically with SHIELD. Odds are, we'll probably see Winter Soldier or an allusion towards that specific arc, and I'd love to see Baron Zemo as the antagonist for the sequel.
Agreed except for Surtur. He needs to be saved for Thor 3 IMO
I think Amora would be better for 2. Have her pissed about Thor's interest in Jane. Also I would love to see atleast a mention of his romantic link to Sif. Something the last film lacked along with the necessary build up to the climax to have perfected it. Great beginning and ending just felt his 2 days on Earth hardly established his learning his lesson or developed his deep love for Jane.
I like movies to follow a 1. Main villain 2. Backup Villain 3. Biggest Villain arc if at all possible. Just my preference.

The entire second movie would have to delve into the other pantheons and whatnot, which would be awesome, but I don't think Marvel really seems to be wholeheartedly embracing the deity aspect of Thor. In the MCU, they seem keen on portraying them as hyper-advanced extra-dimensional beings with even looser ties to mythology than their comic counterparts, which is probably the only aspect about the Thor movie I didn't care for. I want to see the God of Thunder, not what's essentially an alien who is half heartedly referred to as a god or godlike.
And I think that approach to Asgard and making it "fit" into the Marvel Cinematic Universe would be even more haphazard with Hercules and the Olympians.
I'd love to have Cap join in an ongoing mission against AIM/HYDRA, with Zemo at the helm of the antagonist forces. Baron Strucker could be the Palpatine for the third movie.
Winter Soldier would be their special anti-cap weapon.
Along the way, Cap could get to know Agent 13 and Mockingbird, plus work with either Widow or Hawkeye.
Yeah. I guess it's a tricky decision for Marvel to make, how to go about portraying a superhero who's based on a lot of pre-existing mythology. Still, if Whedon showed anything, it was that the Avengers are best done when you go ahead and embrace everything they are, cause the audiences will follow.
I kind of pictured Hercules being sent as Olympus' champion against some extra-planar foe, alongside Thor - who is obviously fighting for Asgard. Loki could have his fun, manipulating them into fighting each other at first, before they team up to slay... well, whoever.
All I ask for in Cap's sequels are Winter Soldier, Zemo, Sharon Carter, and Falcon. Not much at all, really. And given the easter egg of Zola's mech-body, we could even see that play out in the sequel. But if I was really greedy, I'd demand MODOK.
Totally agree on Whedon and what he did. The Avengers didn't try and force this concept of such implausible beings working together in the same universe, but rather just embraced the, well, comic book-y aspect of it all and applied it to the medium of motion film. Sometimes it almost feels like Marvel tip toes around that out of fear of coming off too campy or cheesy, but no risk, no reward.
I think our odds of seeing Beta Ray Bill are larger than Herc, especially after Hemsworth was asked about the character and went on about how bizzare and cool the concept was. But I'd take either or in the film universe.
Yeah. There are definitely things I want to see covered and accomplished in the Cap solo movies - obvious characters like Zemo and Sharon are a must, and I'd like to see Steve Rogers really evolve into a leader fit for a superhuman fighting force.
Other things I want from the Cap movies have less to do with the captain and more to do with the potential they have for opening up Marvel's cinematic world. Thor's off in Asgard, where he should be, and the Iron Man movies are based pretty heavily in the Tony-centric setting. Cap's a newcomer to the world though, and he's easily the most capable character Marvel has to branch out and explore some of the crazy places and characters Marvel has to offer.
This is especially true so long as the cinematic versions of characters like the X-Men, Spider-Man, Daredevil etc aren't able to perform that function themselves.
