Marvel Comments on Alcoholism and The Hulk in "Iron Man 3," Hints at Mysterious 2014 Film


From worstpreviews, Empire magazine sat down with Marvel head Kevin Feige to find out if we'll see the "Demon in a Bottle" storyline, which focuses on Tony Stark's alcoholism, in the third "Iron Man" movie.

"He's not an alcoholic in the movies. Maybe one day that's a deeper story, but we're not going to do it unless we can make it a full-focused plot," he explained, adding that "Iron Man 3" will be the best in the trilogy. "It's Tony's most personal journey since he was trapped in a cave in the first half of the first movie, but it'll also have the largest spectacle of any of the 'Iron Man movies."

He was then asked about the rumor that the Hulk (Mark Ruffalo) will show up in "Iron Man 3." Feige denied it, but said: "We will see the Ruffalo Hulk in the future. I don't know when or how exactly, but he's an interesting character, and so many new avenues have opened up. But now in the movies, who's gonna pop up where? You're never quite sure."

Feige also commented on the mysterious 2014 movie that has yet to be announced. "Our next step will be to introduce a character outside the Avengers' world," he hinted.

I thought they presaged it beautifully with the "No drink? I'm having one" business in The Avengers (which I saw again last night).

I've thought about this a couple of times. Do you realize he does the entire New York battle after belting a scotch? And it doesn't seem to affect his reflexes or his judgment (or his wit! "Clench up, Legolas") at all. That's a high-functioning drinker.
