Avengers 2
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!’” |

Studios can't be trusted with Deadpool. How do you take the merc with a mouth, cast it perfectly and then decide that Deadpool shouldn't have a mouth at all? |

Couldn't be more true. Movie studios don't give a single steaming crap about comic book characters, except as tools with which to make their movie.

They better do Cage right. So much potential for a Bad Ass character. |

True. But it seems as though Marvel studios has realized that trying to stay true to the story goes a long way with the most dedicated members of their fan base that drives every market outside of ticket sales, which is great for the die hards.

I am usually not this kind of fan boy, but the Marvel universe is so awesomely more vast and amazing than any that has ever been created.

Here are pictures from the set showing some of the new characters. I'll put them in spoiler tags, but I don't think there's anything here you won't see in a trailer.
Spoiler!

That's because Marvel has a stock in keeping the characters true to the source material. Fox and Sony and whoever else aren't keeping an eye on the comic book storyline; they'll make whatever changes they want, no matter how simplistic or bizarre.

The Scarlett witch and Quicksilver look good for the XMen movie.
Between this and Godzilla those two will be in both the summer's biggest fanboy flicks...

HAHAHA those look hilarious. I had a copy of the Wolverine movie before the CGI was put in and it was a trip. Oh and sadly that movie didn't improve much after they added the CGI.

Ultron looks like a 10 year olds Halloween costume.
