User blog comment:ADour/Official title for Marvel's The Avengers sequel announced!/@comment-4651179-20130721032030/@comment-1713281-20130721082315

I would not be surprised if this movie turns out to be a stepping stone for a Justice League movie. DC's not blind; they want some of that Super Team money that the Avengers raked in.

Granted, they're not going about it in even remotely the best possible way. But I'm positive that's what's going on here.
