Joss Whedon Talks Quicksilver, the Scarlet Witch and Iron Man's Roles in Avengers 2

Joss Whedon is certainly keeping busy with Marvel. Having written and directed the mega-blockbuster, The Avengers, he is now launching Marvel’s first live-action TV show, Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., while also preparing Marvel's The Avengers 2.


I spoke to Whedon this week at ABC’s Upfront, where S.H.I.E.L.D. was being announced and asked him a couple of questions about Avengers 2 and some of the characters in it.

Whedon had previously alluded to a brother/sister duo being in the film, which EW later said was indeed Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch. When I brought up Quicksilver and the Scarlet Witch to Whedon, he confirmed they were the characters in question, explaining, “You know, they had a rough beginning. They’re interesting to me because they sort of represent the part of the world that wouldn’t necessarily agree with The Avengers. So they’re not there to make things easier. I’m not putting any characters in the movie that will make things easier.”

We also know Tony Stark/Iron Man plays another large role in the sequel, but the end of Iron Man 3 saw Tony destroying all the Iron Man suits we knew about, while seemingly stepping back from his time in the armor.

When I asked Whedon if that made it a challenge putting Iron Man in Avengers 2, he remarked, “Well, I feel like in Iron Man 3, even though he said, ‘I’ve changed' -- he blew up his remote suits, but I don’t think anybody thinks he doesn’t have one anymore. The question is, if The Avengers are called, does he show up? And the answer is, ‘Yes!’”

It's not.

(google it if you don't want to take my word for it...)

I just did! I'll be damned.

I'm happy to be wrong. I've said for a while the series needs Ultron.

'
Although I'm more a fan of the old classic Gaurdians of the galaxy(Martinex,Yondu..) I do think I'll like how these guys look on the big screen.
Groot though of the new GotG is an interesting character.

As far as Ultron with Ultron comes Hank Pym which will be an awesome story line to add to the movie series. I'm guessing of course the Antman movie will kick this off.

[keg in kc]

I think the ant-man movie is scheduled to be after Avengers 2.

WTF is "Ultron"?

[Fish]

Ultron huh? That should be interesting...

But what about Thanos?

[Sure-Oz]

I thought Thanos was going to be in the next...i honestly dont know Ultron.

He's an incredibly powerful robot created by Henry Pym (Ant-Man). After he was created, he achieved sentience, became gloatingly evil, upgraded his armor to be virtually indestructible, and turned against his creator. He's been a major Avengers villain for the past 45 years or so, and has among other things led the Masters of Evil, taken over Iron Man's armor, flattened the entire group at once, and just recently was the focal point of an alternate-future series called (you guessed it) "Age of Ultron". Best of all is that beyond being just a stock Bad Robot character, he also has all kinds of psychological aspects (a sort of Oedipus complex, for one) that makes him a rare character who is both interesting to follow, and thoroughly malicious.

Sorry to keep the pics coming I had a long morning and I'm sitting in the AC for awhile.
For those that dont know the one image is Hank Pym creating/realizing that his toaster has become sentient yet still he doesn't and cant fathom the pain Ultron will put him and the avengers thru in the future.
Also Ultron Created the Vision to turn traitor on the team and that ended with Vision turning on him.

[beach tribe]

I thought they might do this.
Thanos will be in it, but hes gonna be the main villain in the third one.
Ultron makes total sense at this point.

[Aries Walker]

Oh, also, in case anyone's confused: Ultron upgraded himself a lot, and would slap new version numbers on himself to keep track. The toaster up there is Ultron-1. The first time the Avengers met him, he was Ultron-5, and was up to about Ultron-11 by Secret Wars in 1984. He stopped counting after 18, and now just calls himself Ultron.

Completely agree it was beyond stupid

Waste of a certain character, that film was.

Ultron may be a good choice. I feel like they'd be justified in saving Thanos for the third film. You don't want to blow your load too soon, especially with films that will surely top the billion dollar mark at the box office.

Plus, by waiting longer, it may give them more time to acquire the rights to other top-tier Marvel heroes. If they want to do a Thanos story right, they'll need to bring in the Fantastic 4, Silver Surfer and, to a much lesser degree, Black Panther.

I just wonder how they'll make Ultron work. I know he's not the same as the Destroyer we saw in Thor, but audiences may feel they've seen this dance before..
