The Avengers 2 Cameos

Even though “The Avengers 2” is still a long way off, there is nothing wrong with speculating about what characters might make cameos in the movie which will be the icing on the Marvel Phase 2 cake. While the comic book company could place any characters from the collective universe in the movie, there are some cameos which would make more sense than others.

The Avengers 2 is coming soon

Expected “The Avengers 2” Cameos

There are certain cameos which should be expected due to the expansion of the Marvel Universe into movies. The Guardians of the Galaxy will have had a movie before “Avengers 2,” so fans should expect at least nods to these characters in the sequel to the third highest-grossing movie of all time. Ant-Man, or Hank Pym might have an appearance since his first movie as Ant-Man will happen the following November. If Marvel’s “S.H.I.E.L.D.” gets off the ground before the movie, some of the case should be expected to be seen or referenced in the movie as well.

Doctor Stephen Strange

Marvel has been talking about a Doctor Strange movie for a few years and it is time for the character to receive the big screen treatment it deserves. Following suit with the Phase 1 movies, it would make sense to have “Doctor Strange” follow the origin of the character. Since the Sorcerer Supreme’s movie is not scheduled before “Avengers 2,” he would probably still be a medical practitioner at the current Phase 2 continuity so he could perform surgery on a character or lend medical expertise in some way.

Black Panther

T’Challa may have a place in the movie slated for May 1, 2015. Marvel has discussed a movie based on the story of the Wakandan leader since the late 1990s. Since he is one of the Avengers, it makes sense to either introduce him during one of the movies about the superhero squad or give him his own movie. His appearance on film would also increase the number of black superheroes in the movies and would give Marvel a slightly wider audience.

Luke Cage and Iron Fist

“Guardians of the Galaxy” and “Ant-Man” prove Marvel and Disney want to create movies around some of the secondary characters to make stars into superstars. Luke Cage was going to be featured in ABC’s “AKA Jessica Jones” but it got shelved. Both character are featured in “Ultimate Spider-Man,” so there is already a media base for the characters.

Ant-Man

With “Ant-Man” being the first movie in the Phase 3 Marvel movies, I would be very surprised if Hank Pym did not make some type of cameo in “The Avengers 2.” In fact, his appearance should be the most expected “The Avengers 2” cameo. Maybe Agent Coulson could consult with him at the end of the movie in a teaser for “Ant-Man.” It is something to wait for.
