  • Josh Whedon On Avengers : Age of Ultron And Thanos



    Director Joss Whedon continues to talk about Avengers: Age of Ultron, and how the new characters that he's adding into the mix will bring enough conflict to the Avengers, and a few other things.

    On coming up with the title:

    “It’s not based on the series. Honestly, we went through a lot of titles – Underoos Of Ultron. None of them landed… Underoos would’ve been better because of the alliteration. But Age of Ultron really stuck. We were like, ‘It’s a book, but we’re still going to use it’."

    On whether we'll see Ultron's creator, Henry Pym, or the android that Ultron created, the Vision.

    “We’re not going to see Pym and all the accoutrements. Ultron is more central to the Avengers as they are. But we will explore the idea of lineage, because he was created by us and we’ve got to own that… Then we have the Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver and I think that’s plenty, because Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch did not begin their time as friends of the Avengers, so there’s going to be a lot of, well, conflict.”

    On the hopeful possibility of a 'multi-studio crossover' film:

    “That’s not the plan. It would be cool but I think right now I already have a ton of very talented actors in my movie playing a ton of characters, and I’m about to add a few more. So I’m not like, ‘How can we get more licensed characters because I want to kill myself and make a nine-hour movie.’”

    On the possibility of Thanos bringing together the Guardians of the Galaxy and The Avengers:

    “We have to stay grounded. It’s part of what makes the Marvel universe click – their relationship to the real world. It’s science-fiction, and Thanos is not out of the mix, but Thanos was never meant to be the next villain. He’s always been the overlord of villainy & darkness.”

    So it doesn't look like Vision or Thanos will be making an appearance in Age of Ultron. The movie will be released on May 1st, 2015!
