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!’”

Captain America is probably my least favorite movie of all the marvel flicks. The guy that plays CA (can't think of his name off the top of my head) is a terrible actor. I just can't buy him as a super hero.

Chris Evans.

Wut?

Chris Evans is decent at the very least.

Captain America was definitely the worst of Marvel's Avengers lead up films but not really through any fault of Evans'.

It was weak because it had to get from 1942 to 2010.

Evans is actually pretty solid. After watching him in Fantastic 4, I thought it was going to suck nutsack. But he does a good job with Cap. Cap is just kinda tough. He's not edgy like Stark. He's not the goddamned Hulk. He's not a demi-God.

He's a USA homer, and Evans did a good job at that.

ThaVirus · 03-25-2014, 09:38 PM

Yeah, Cap is tough because he's so damn boring. Really, his glaring characteristics are his do-gooder personality and, like you say, the fact that he's a huge patriot. GAY... And the "man displaced in time" angle isn't all that interesting either.

Still, I think Evans did a good job with what he was given and am excited about Cap and Avengers 2.

Chris Evans has said he will retire from acting once he fulfills his CA contracts. He wants to direct instead.

Saw that...surprised but at the same time he had average roles prior to CA. He was ok in previous flicks including Fantastic Four.

I think hes a pretty good CA.

I would wreck the actress (Olsen?) playing Scarlet Witch

Aries Walker · 03-31-2014, 11:27 AM

Captain America, as a character, is not boring. People just think he is because he plays the straight man in a roomful of weirdos, and he isn't 'edgy' or 'troubled' or 'borderline psychotic', as is the popular thing right now.

I've never thought of him as boring so much as goofy. They've done a great job playing up the whole fish out of water element with him, though, so he doesn't seem so much like a 70 year old ad for the armed forces.

ThaVirus · 03-31-2014, 12:20 PM

What's interesting about his character?

He's boring as shit. There's no two ways about it.
