Despite what we may think is going to happen, The Avengers 2 director Joss Whedon made it clear that there will be no such team up happening any time soon, no matter how awesome it looks in our heads.

He may be the face of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, but Robert Downey Jr.‘s contract with the studio ended with Iron Man 3, and surprisingly enough, he is not signed on for The Avengers 2, at least not yet.

Whether or not he will appear in any of the upcoming Avengers sequels remains to be seen, but The Avengers director Joss Whedon believes that Downey will return to reprise his role.

During one of the press rounds for his upcoming adaptation of William Shakespeare’s Much Ado About Nothing, Whedon spoke to Newsweek’s The Daily Beast about the matter and is confident that Downey will return.

However, the two are also members of the Avengers, which happens to be under the Marvel/Disney banner.

On Tuesday Disney released the mammoth, 10-disc Marvel Cinematic Universe: Phase One – Avengers Assembled Blu-ray set containing all six of Marvel Studio’s first blockbuster superhero adventures and a host of exclusive bonus features. The set also came with a special code that buyers could enter at the S.H.I.E.L.D. Mainframe website and view a video preview prepared by Marvel that offers some tantalizing glimpses at their upcoming Phase Two movies Thor: The Dark World, Captain America: The Winter Soldier, Guardians of the Galaxy, and their first Phase Three movie Ant-Man.

Last night some enterprising individuals posted the video online but Marvel and Disney quickly exercised their legal superpowers and had it pulled.
