The third Marvel NOW! 'Next Big Thing' press conference is still underway, but some more details have come in. Remender says that all three of the characters are there for a specific reason, and goes on to explain the roles each will play in the team..
“Sunfire is brought in for a reason that I don’t want to give away yet, because it deals with the aftermath of the first arc. He and Wolverine have business. He has a natural reason for being there, and I love Sunfire. I’ve never had a member on any team that I feel I can write as surly as Sunfire.”
On the Avengers side, we’ve got Wonder Man, who’s going to play an interesting role. He’s now something of a pacifist, and a major reason he’s on the team is for PR purposes; using his Hollywood skills to help bridge the worlds of mutants and humans.
They don’t have a government source of funding. They’re not going to be getting orders from any government organization, so their funding comes form Wasp.”
