Another Avengers TV spot this time we get a closer look at Loki's army

Looks more like the Cosmic Control Rod here:

It could be the control rod, yes. But that really doesn't fit with how he was brain twisting the scientist that was tasked to study the tesseract.


Or it could just be a really cool, glowing staff.

I SO read that as "Richard Pryor as Nova Prime"

Believe me, the last thing I would want is too many characters. But with Thanos as the villain it does open the door for his cosmic arch foes to appear, Warlock, Drax and Mar-Vell. To be honest, I'd prefer they NOT use Adam Warlock at all for the movies. His character is a bit.....unique, in part thanks to how Jim Starlin defined the character, but also the plot device of how Warlock could/does become the Magus is really worn out.

Drax....we could do without him if Thanos shows up, but his sole purpose is to kill Thanos. If they don't make him mindless like the Hulk or as single minded as he was in his first incarnation then it could work. He'd bring extra brute force to the fight against Thanos, and Thanos in his first incarnation was already strong enough to fight both the Thing and THOR at the same time in hand to hand combat.

Mar-Vell....good luck casting him, because I honestly don't know who could play the role especially after he gains Cosmic Awareness and becomes the Protector of the Universe. He should be pivotal in the fight against Thanos, which was his destined purpose as the Protector and it was Mar-Vell that stopped Thanos the first time.

Still, IF Thanos were to be used they'd pretty much have to bring in one of the above mentioned characters, preferably Mar-Vell. Heh, if Mar-Vell does appear in a movie and the movie is a hit and Mar-Vell is portrayed correctly perhaps Marvel Comics will finally develop enough of a backbone to bring him back for good in the comics.

But it does fit with Loki snagging an already-made army, one which bows to the wielder of a specific weapon.

I don't doubt that the Cosmic Cube will come into play (perhaps the Avengers will attempt to use it against the Cosmic Control Rod?), but to have Loki wield it as just a big energy gun and nothing more would be lame since we already saw Red Skull underperform with it. And if he does use the Cosmic Cube to essentially dominate a dimension worth of life and sic them on Earth, thereby using the reality warping properties in one instance and not the other (to simply take over or destroy without all the fuss), it'll be equally lame if not more so.

Whedon has said he'd like to actually go smaller for the next Avengers movie. Not sure if he's signed up for the next one, but if this is the case, we probably won't see Thanos until the third one. If they do go smaller, I'm hoping for Ultron or the Masters of Evil.
