In both the LEGO and Hasbro toy dog sets it ’s clear-cut that not only does Tony Stark have an armor specifically designed for bring Banner down : the Avengers have clear also stay the tradition of have Hulk containment cell on hand , in case the Jade Giant suffer it .
That ’s definitely proceed to create some tension between the two science sidekick ( Banner and Stark ) , last forwards . Or perhaps it ’s Bruce ’s mental crack-up that led star Mark Ruffalo to tell us that Hulk may not be able to incur solace or salvation by the end of this film .

In epilogue , theAvengers 2Hasbro set also brought us additional looks new quality Vision ( Paul Bettany ) and Scarlet Witch . Vision is of course the Android that Tony Stark combines with his J.A.R.V.I.S. A.I. system in purchase order to combat Ultron . He has a long history with both Ultron and Hank Pym ’s Ant - Man in the funnies - but a lot of that will be revised for the film .
For more on Vision - Go HERE .
Vision - Avengers 2 Toy
The vision toy ( image courtesy ofCinema Blend ) highlights how the superhero esthetic of his costume is actually operative and mechanically skillful - with even his ofttimes - debated " automaton cape " sporting clear-cut sign of wiring and circuitry .
While mirthful book fans know about some of power , it will be interesting to see the full largeness of what a innovative , digital - era , movie reading of Vision can do .
Scarlet Witch ( Elizabeth Olsen ) is one one-half of " The Twins , " aka Scarlet and her chum Quicksilver ( Aaron Taylor - Johnson).Scarlet Witch ’s powers in the moviehave been something of a mystery ( " hex deadbolt " from the comics do n’t quite cover it ) - but it ’s decipherable that her abilities are both mental and forcible in nature .
Scarlet Witch - Avengers 2 miniature
What ’s rummy about the toy ( figure of speech courtesy ofiO9)is that Scarlet Witch ’s powers seem to have the same variety of symbolized energy key signature that her amusing book counterpart often has . We ’ll have to wait and see if that holds true in the film , and what that could mean march her powers - and possible connections to magical forces we ’ll later see in Marvel motion picture likeDoctor Strange .
[ NOTE : The law of similarity in vigour signatures between the Doctor Strange and Scarlet Witch toys . Is this what MCU magic looks like ? ]
Avengers Wave3 -Dr Strange
An actualDoctor Strangefigure was also include in the " Avengers Wave 3 " toy series at Toy Fair 2015 .
Movie fans may see obvious early parallel of latitude between a " undulation 3 " toyline andthe " Phase 3 " movie population . It ’s still very early , and this " undulation 3 " toyline is NOT an official Marvel Cinematic Universe adaption ; however , we CAN consider about whether the look of the figure is something we ’d wantDoc Strangestar Benedict Cumberbatchto mutation in the movie . ( Or is that Cloak of Levitation a MUST ? )
There was n’t too much revealed forMarvel’sAnt - Manmovie ; but that did n’t stop us from getting a few choice looks at elements of the film .
The miniature sets allowed us a more elaborated tone at the suit that Scott Lang ( Paul Rudd ) will steal from Hank Pym ( Michael Douglas ) and finally employ to become the shrink Cuban sandwich known as Ant - Man . We also get a magnanimous feeling at the sort of Ant that Ant - Man will be using as his steed :

Marvel’sAnt - Man3.75 - INCHFIGURE WITH ANT
( Ages 4 eld & up / Approximate Retail damage : $ 19.99 / Available : Summer 2015 )
The submarine of the new filmMARVEL ’S ANT - MANgets big action at law out of a little software with this 3.75 - inch motion-picture show - precise action figure ! This particular features ANT - MAN and his unique fomite — an in - scale wing ant that he can ride into battle .
So … Ant - human being Rides Ants . Sounds about right . In all seriousness , though : Although it was n’t point at Toy Fair , some recentAnt - ManLEGO setsmay divulge what Hank Pym AND Scott Lang both look like when suited up as Ant - Man . GO HERE for those exposure .
While Marvel and Hasbro were n’t giving away any major reveals from the film , there was a small peep at the Yellowjacket armor that he film ’s villain , Darren Cross ( Corey Stoll ) , will wear .
Ant - Man 3.5 - column inch Yellowjacket Figure at Toy Fair 2015
Early conception nontextual matter ( above ) showedwhat Yellowjacket will presumably expect likein the movie - and the real figure is jolly much the same , complete with stingers .
Finally , while there WAS a name of Janet Van Dyne ’s Wasp included with the Marvel LEGENDS 6 - column inch toy line , there were some unofficial whispers on the story further hinting thatHobbitstar Evangeline Lily’sAnt - Mancharacter , Hope Van Dyne could indeed be become up as a new version of Wasp in the motion-picture show .
Evangeline Lily as Hope Van Dyne in ' Ant - Man '
In the revised Ant - Man lineage storey , Hank Pym ’s Ant - Man existed during the moth-eaten warfare and was partnered with Janet Van Dyne until some unknown tragedy or separation occurred , leaving Hank and his daughter Hope estranged . Part of the celluloid ’s arc , then , could be Hope and Hank reconciling , and Hope maybe taking up the blanket of Wasp from her female parent .
With a new Wasp alongside Rudd ’s Scott Lang , that would give the newfangled Avengers team we ’ll see inCaptain America : Civil Warand / orAvengers : Infinity War - Part 1both a Modern Cuban sandwich and distaff hero to have in the ranks . What ’s not to care ?
