How would you folks prefer to see an Avengers trilogy of movies (similar to the X-Men trilogy) play out?
Which villains in which movies?
Here are my quick thoughts:
Movie 1: Obviously, this has to be the "origin" movie. I think the focus should be on Cap, just as the focus of X-Men 1 was on Wolverine. Tie it all together with Zemo-- the villains will be the Masters of Evil. Subplots would include Tony Stark wanting to use his money and mansion for something constructive and positive, and the Hank/Jan romance, along with Hank creating Ultron. Keep Thor mysterious, I think (that would be a whole other movie) and leave Hulk out entirely (he had his origin movie already, and it would just confuse folks). So the structure of the first Avengers movie would be Cap's failure and redemption, with the help of his new allies. At the end, with the MOE defeated, they officially form the Avengers.
(This may be made obsolete if they make a Cap movie first, and use up part of this storyline.)
Movie 2: This is the Ultron movie! Lots of set-up with Hank Pym from the first movie leads to a big Ultron blowout. If the first movie was more about Cap, this one is more about the Pyms. Start out with the Grim Reaper and the Vision. Maybe end it with the Pyms' wedding (or start it with that--and then things go bad!). The Scarlet Witch and Wonder Man would also be natural additions in this movie. Maybe do "Bride of Ultron" and parallel that with the growing Vision-Scarlet Witch romance, and their tension with Simon. (I'd love to see Vizh and Simon throw down with each other over her, like in #158!)
Movie 3: The Kang movie. Now you have a pretty good-sized team: the big 3, Vision, Scarlet Witch, Wondy, the Pyms. You can have an all-out Kang invasion and let 'er rip. Wrap up all the side-stories set up in the first two, such as Vision/Wanda. Maybe have Hawkeye come into play here, too.
Those are just some "top of my head" thoughts. And of course there are lots of other characters that I'd love to see, too-- but you can only fit in so many before it gets out of hand.
What do you think? What do you want to see?
