Then again, they have the Hulk so it could be someone like The Leader.
I don;t think it's going to be the Leader. Partially because we already apparently killed him off in one of the previous Hulk movies.
From how they're describing this, the Clairvoyant is a Name in regular Marvel canon, and the only one that really fits the bill based on what we know is Kang.

The Leader was alive at the end of The Incredible Hulk (in fact he had just started to change). The MCU comic that followed it (Fury's Big Day, I believe it was called), had Widow showing up in the Harlem to take Sterns into custody.

Mastermind is a mutant and therefore tied to X men.
You keep saying that mutants are out for MCU, but they've stated that both Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch will be in Avengers 2 and that's with Quicksilver being in Days of Future Past, so we can count out a character appearing in that franchise as a guarantee that they won't be in MCU media, too.
So I wouldn't rule out any characters because they're mutants in the comics. For example, I'd bet we're more likely to see Wasp in MCU than X-movies despite being a mutant because she's more an Avenger than X character.

Isn't she only a mutant according to the Ultimate comics and not the mainstream comics?

Probably. There's been so many retcons in comics, I forget which origins have been maintained and which have been altered. For Example, I'm not sure whether the whole "Spider Totem" thing with Spiderman is still part of why he has his powers or not.

We also don;t know what sort of back room deal was cut to get them there. AFAIK Fox currently holds all the movie rights to Xmen characters and mutants. I'm also willing to bet they had to take them instead of long time Avengers Wolverine and Beast, both have more to do with Ultron.

QS and SW are shared because of how long they spent as Avengers, but mutants are off limits. They can't say the M-word in any MCU related things. That's why the comics have had such a big push with the Inhumans lately, and the whole releasing of the Terrigen Mists to create new super-powered non-mutant characters.
Breotan wrote: I wonder if that's also behind the whole "M-day" event.
Officially Mday was because there were too many mutant characters. Personally I think it was due to the same reason that One More Day happened, ie editors with an Agenda.

I thought both of them made for interesting stories. All the crying over One More Day was almost as entertaining as the event itself.
And what 'agenda', really? I mean, isn't the agenda of all the writers to "sell more comics"? You make it sound as if they're out to intentionally sabotage things.

Jaimie walked onto the set in full Lady Sif regalia just as she looks in the movies — from the huge, mile-high boots to the metal armor — and she towered over everyone. It was so striking and impressive, all we could do was stare. It was very cool!

maybe that's because she isn't cutting someone open? Cause that's the same outfit from the film, so if your saying that she looks less impressive because of the outfit then you're being a bit silly.
I never said it was the costume or the actor. It's the way they shoot the show. This show just isn't trying to make the visuals impressive in any way. They... reduce, somehow, instead of try to be larger than life. This doesn't say "Sif". It says, "Is this where we go for costume judging?"

And you base this off one photograph that may or may not even be part of the actual footage? Well done you.
Besides, it shouldn't be larger then life, this isn't about the big guys. If they started shooting this like the avengers but it's just shield agents it would look dumb as hell.
The shot is taken face on, the problem is that she is standing in front of a car on a ramp and that makes her look less impressive. It makes the shot look like it was taken from a higher angle than it was.

To be fair, Joe Quesada was very blunt about having an agenda when it happened: He hated that Peter Parker got married and basically thought the Macfarlane era of Spidey was the best thing ever. He even stated that Peter being single is "an intrinsic part of the very foundation of the world of Spider-Man".

Well I'm not gonna criticize a random screen shot/photo. I assume you could get equally bad "screenshots" of the avengers characters. It'll all depend on the actual show which, given how they've been doing the last 3 episodes, I have hopes for again.

There's a couple of shots from the forthcoming Guardians of the Galaxy film, nothing too spectacular.
Trailer is due any day now, apparently it'll premier on the Jimmy Kimmel show.
And this test/WIP footage of a shot too

I believe the tree-guy was called Groot, and the Racoon is of course Rocket Racoon. So long as it doesn't take itself too seriously, I can see GOTG being beyond awesome.

There's also been some talk about a possible Black Widow cameo in a few weeks too ...?
Be interesting to see if the events of Cap. America 2 -- especially the more WTF rumours/spoilers ? -- affect the show at all.
