As the unofficial mascot of the Marvel cinematic universe (he's pretty much Mickey Mouse to this corner of the Disney empire), Downey Jr.'s words and opinions feel like they carry a lot of weight. So when he chimes in with a comment that's essentially "Yeah, there really should be a female-led superhero movie, huh?", we can't help but feel slightly vindicated for wondering where the heck a 'Black Widow' or even a 'Captain Marvel' movie is.
It's inevitable: one day there will be an 'Avengers' reboot. It's hard to think of now, as 'Avengers 2' hasn't even hit theaters and Phase 3 of Marvel's Cinematic Universe hasn't even begun yet. But, once Robert Downey, Jr., Scarlett Johansson, Chris Hemsworth, Mark Ruffalo, Chris Evans and Jeremy Renner all play through their contracts, Marvel is going to have to start over. Now, we don't think Marvel would ever reboot 'The Avengers' as a 70s detective TV series, but if they did? It'd look a lot like this...
Whereas Tom Hanks' Captain Phillips talked, finessed, sweated and went into shock to rescue his crew, Chris Evans' Captain America jumps onto a hijacked boat from a helicopter without a parachute. His liberation of a S.H.I.E.L.D. vessel captured by international terrorists involves flinging himself across the deck; a human pinball with terrorists as his easily neutralized bumpers.

Guess who has a bun in the oven? That's right, pouty-lipped actress Scarlett Johansson! The actress and SodaStream spokesmodel, 29, is reportedly expecting her first child.
UPDATE: Added the full 'Captain America 2' Super Bowl trailer above!
The 'Captain America 2' Super Bowl trailer will air in its entirety during the big game this Sunday, February 2, but before we see it in action, Marvel released a preview of the coming footage and two new posters that unite the cast of 'The Winter Soldier.'
Poor Sodastream. They hired the great Scarlett Johansson to sell their soft drinks, and the mean old Fox network won't let them air the commercial during the Super Bowl.
If you're like some of us around here, you mostly watch the Super Bowl for the hilarious commercials and the awesome new movie trailers. But there's one you won't be seeing on TV: Scarlett Johansson's Super Bowl commercial for SodaStream, which was banned from airing during the upcoming game.
I am a huge fan of Captain America movies. OK, the most recent movie, and then 'The Avengers.' This new trailer for 'The Winter Soldier' looks incredible, despite the fact I don't really understand what's going on (haven't read any of the comics). But it still looks awesome!
Actress Scarlett Johansson and her boyfriend, journalist Romain Dauriac, are engaged, according to recent reports. In that case, let's pop open the hypothetical champagne.
A word to all of you writers with hopes of one day being published: Unless you have a good lawyer, never invoke the name of Scarlett Johansson in your novel. She's likely to file suit if you do.
'Captain America 2,' dubbed 'The Winter Soldier,' already gave us our first look at Chris Evans back to his Cap duties, but we want more than just a look at his backside! Thankfully, we found some snapshots from the set showing an actual fight scene between our title hero, Scarlett Johansson's Black Widow and...
