Joss Whedon Talks The Avengers 2 And Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch On Jimmy Fallon

Interview: Joss Whedon Talks About Agents Of S.H.I.E.L.D. At ABC

Quicksilver And The Scarlet Witch Will Be In The 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!’”

Joss Whedon Doesn't Eat Unicorns

On Whedonesque, Joss Whedon published an open letter about the wild rumors about him. Read the letter here:

Hi guys.

I was going to let it slide, but I’ve got this sour taste in my mouth. (Mmmm, lemonade!). Some facts are not facts. I’m not going to go into the whole thing, but jeepers, I’m not getting $100 mil on Avengers 2. If I were, I would come on this site and laugh and laugh and laugh. I’m not making Downey money. I’m making A LOT, which is exciting. I’m not pretending to be a poor farmer, an Everyman, an ANYman. But that number is nuts. A few other things about me that have been “reported” that people should take with a grain of salt:

That I throw wild Hollywood parties where everyone is naked and dancing and wild and I remember to serve enough snacks.

That I can get a movie greenlit by sighing and staring into the middle distance.

That I ate a unicorn and made it winter for three years.

That I “can write.”

Well, that’s a load off. Sorry to get so personal — the whole thing’s a bit tawdry. But honestly, it bugged me. I’m off for a nice juicy steak. There’s a place downtown that does it with rosemary butter, it tastes just like unico — like a steak.

BYE-ee! J.

Joss Whedon Interview About Iron Man & Thanos On The Avengers 2

Quicksilver & Scarlet Witch In The Avengers 2?

During an interview on the red carpet at the premiere of Iron Man 3, Joss Whedon talked about the upcoming second The Avengers movie.

About how far he was with the script Whedon said this:

"I have finished a draft and I'm redoing it now. I think it's in really good shape. We're in a very good place,"

As many, many people loved The Avengers movie, it will be hard to live up to the expectations. This is what Joss Whedon had to say about the pressure he feels:

"I try not to think of it as topping it. I try to think of this as its own movie. Sometime yeah, I feel pressure and by the way, Shane (Black) not helping, Iron Man 3 not helping, because I saw this and man he really got it right. But when you're in the story and you're dealing with these characters that you love, that everybody loves, when you've got the new characters sliding in next to them it's very exciting. Then I don't feel pressure, it's like I'm reading my favorite comic."

And talking about new characters, Whedon is planning to introduce at least two now characters in the second The Avengers movie.

"I've got these two characters, two of my favorite characters from the comic book, a brother-sister act. They're in the movie."

As we all know, the most famous brother-sister duo from comics are the Storms, Johnny and Sue from the Fantastic Four, and Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch, who were part of The Avengers in the comics.

The problem with the Storms is that their rights are with Fox, but the rights of Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch are with both Marvel and Fox. It is very likely then that these two characters will make an appearance on The Avengers two.

Joss Whedon Teases His Marvel-ous Future Plans

For the last 16 years, the voice of one man has rung louder in my brain than any other as the worlds, characters, scenarios, lessons and lines Joss Whedon ushered into reality resonantly deeply within all levels of my consciousness, turning me into a lifetime card carrying member of The Whedonverse.

The last year has seen our ranks rise dramatically in number as Whedon took control of Marvel's The Avengers and created one of the most satisfying and sensational action films of the millennium. On Sunday, the film took home top prizes at The MTV Movie Awards, where I caught up with Joss to talk about the next phase of his career.

After first thanking him for creating Sunnydale (an absolute must), I went on to ask about the status of The Avengers sequel, ABC's hopeful Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. pilot and the long-rumored Dr. Horrible 2. And while Joss is not someone who accidentally reveals anything, these teasey tidbits will certainly help pass the time until we get some more official news.

Interview: Joss Whedon Talks Agents Of S.H.I.E.L.D. And More

Joss Whedon is making a much anticipated appearance atSXSW to present his indie modern retelling of the Shakespeare comedy Much Ado About Nothing. That’s the microbudgeted pic he shot in 12 days in secret under his Bellwether Pictures banner while working on Marvel‘s The Avengers. Picked up after its Toronto debut, the film screens in Austin with a panel  on Saturday in front of his rabid fanbase – then hits theaters June 7 via Lionsgate/Roadside Attractions. (The film releases June 14 in the UK via Kaleidoscope, which is also handling international sales.)

Whedon recently wrapped his pilot for Marvel’s S.H.I.E.L.D. series and is set to work on The Avengers 2 for a 2015 release. He’s also contracted for three years as a creative consultant to Marvel, helping studio head Kevin Feige develop the sprawling superhero universe. Whedon admits the Marvel commitments may not leave time anymore for passion projects like Much Adobecause he’s “in constant danger of burning out”. He also talks to Deadline’s Jen Yamato and contributor Joe Utichi about what could have been – Wonder Woman, Star Wars  – and what might still be for The Hulk:

DEADLINE: Most directors helming a giant summer blockbuster wouldn’t choose to use their 2-week break to make a small Shakespeare film.
WHEDON: Making The Avengers was very important to me, but it was also extremely arduous. I missed my friends and I missed my home, so I decided to throw them all on camera which is the only way I seem to know to relate to people. But I was blissfully happy when we were shooting Much Ado About Nothing – and it was actually one week and three weekends – and then I went back to cutting Avengers much better. I was in the very early process – my first assembly was very long. When I came back from Much Ado, without any rancor or confusion, I was able to cut the film down to length and readily focus on the things that mattered. I think I would have come to that one way or another, butMuch Ado sped it up. Here I was making absolute giddy ridiculous art with no expectations, and nothing but joy – and wishing that my neighbors’ dogs would shut up.
