Joss Whedon Briefly Discusses THE AVENGERS 2

Currently in Ireland for the premiere of Much Ado About Nothing, Joss Whedon briefly addressed The Avengers 2 during the films Q&A. " I can't make it bigger....but I can make it better".

Much Ado About Nothing gets its U.S. premiere next month at SXSW but the film has already had its European premiere at the Dublin International Film Festival earlier today. Of course, during the films Q&A following the screening the discussion turned to The Avengers sequel.

Responding to questions about doing more Shakespeare, Whedon says he doesn't want to do another one exactly like he did Much Ado About Nothing. He says that he needs to keep trying different things from a creative standpoint. From there, the discussion turned to The Avengers sequel.

Whedon: When I first considered doing Avengers 2, my first question was what can I do that's new? Because I can't make it bigger....but I can make it better.

The moderator asks about his philosophy for Avengers 2.
Whedon: Death, death and death. (Crowd applauds madly.)

If you listen to the audio (you can find it by clicking the source link below) it's obvious that Joss was being his usual humorous self. But then again with Joss, it's almost guaranteed there will be a death in the film. Surprisingly, there were no question about the S.H.I.E.L.D. pilot.

Joss thanks for giving Cap the most screen time and making him even more boss than in Captain America. Loved the more comic accurate suit too.

Joss Whedon...has a knack for simply saying the right thing. Normally I'm very wary of people like this, because more often than it turns out that they're full of shit. He's delivers the goods though, time and time again. I'll say one thing, if his luck HAS to run out once in the near future, I'd rather it be the SHIELD show rather than the movie franchises. Give me glorious, big budget CBMs any day of the week.

"I can't make it bigger.....but I can make it better."

I sure hope so lol.


And yeah, Thanos, which should be good (hopefully), death of Widow and Hawkeye (hopefully), and hopefully Thor kicks more a$$ than he did in Avengers.

I would prefer to see ultron leading the masters of evil in avengers 2. they already have a few villains on they could use in it. abomination, the leader, the destroyer, and the whiplash armor still exists and can be worn by someone else. I would love to see the movie open with ultron going bad and causing a breakout in a high tech shield prison

I'm not gonna focus on AVENGERS 2 right now, too many other movies to talk about that come out way sooner than that.
