No, but he's playing Vision in Age of Ultron.

Oh please, a villain announced like this means the real big bad will emerge about half way through the season.

It'll be a leftover Ultron, except instead of James Spader his voice will be Michael Shanks. :v:

I actually do wonder if the Iron Legion will start appearing halfway through the season or so, given what we've been told about Age of Ultron.

This would be amazing. It would also require the leftover Ultron to die and come back repeatedly.

The best quote there is when he says that there's more room in an on going comic series to really explore the team in-depth compared to a TV show.

Correct me if I'm wrong but the average comic would barely cover 30 minutes of run time and they are released monthly, so basically that's a load of horse poo poo to excuse the shows shoddy character development.

I think it was less about covering for the show than pumping up their own book, but the amount of content per month point is well made.

And ongoing comic is not limited by episode orders like a TV show, and characters who appear in ongoing books will often appear in other books, and sometimes get spun off into one shots and mini-series, assuming things are going well. So in some ways there is more potential than what a primetime TV show could give. You can have a whole story arc devoted to flash backs if you wanted, among other things.

I thought the movie said he was going to disappear and do secret spy stuff and help clean up the mess. He was giving up his role and life at SHIELD, but not his work in general.

The movie explicitly suggests the opposite, where he says he's going off the grid in Europe to fight Hydra.

The thing is that Korath IS a Kree in the comics, and nothing in the movie suggests that's changed beyond the lack of blue skin. It is rather weird.

The thing is also that many Kree in the comics don't have blue skin, so if the only thing about him that's changed in the film is that he doesn't have blue skin, that doesn't indicate him not being a Kree.

When it comes to Kree skin colors, I thought it was that Blue Kree had lineage going back to ancient Kree, and then something happened at some point and some Kree ended up different colors, with blue people having a higher stature in society.

Alien invasions are the sort of thing you call the Avengers in for, unless you have something like SWORD. It will be very small scale if it happens. My money is on Inhuman shadow society stuff cumulating in the next Guardians movie, myself.

Does/did Korath have head cybernetics in the comics? I didn't really start reading the Cosmic line till the first half of Annihilation in a Borders one day, and more recently with Bendis' Guardians of the Galaxy.

From what I understand, Blue Kree are "pure" Kree that haven't interbred with other alien species. That's why Ronan was blue in the movie I guess, he's some kind of Space Nazi.
