I like the game he's playing.
Is he framing Ant-Man/Giant-Man?
Or does his comment mean The Vision?
Personally, I think Marvel is simply trying to stable all talent possible since they're the hot commodity.
They pulled something like this with The Rock but he hasn't met with them yet.
But it doesn't add up why they're talking to marquee names, especially since the RDJ really brought light to how cheap they are. It's been their style since the first X-Men, but most people don't realize this is Perlmutter's business method, and its seeped into the studio productions. Money was the main reason Norton got dropped from Avengers, not the rumored "he's difficult to work with".
The only thing that really fits for Vin is Thanos, much like the "Del Toro's playing The Collector" talk...which is nuts, but makes sense when you consider how much it would cost to cast him as a lead like Dr. Strange.
I'm wondering if their was some talk about Vin being up for Luthor in a MOS 2 and this was their interference.
