Joss Whedon On AVENGERS: AGE OF ULTRON 'Dream' Scenes, 'The Twins,' Cameos And Run Time
Revealing how long Age of Ultron will be, compared to The Avengers, writer/director Joss Whedon talks in-depth about the Scarlet Witch, Quicksilver, and what they bring to the sequel. Check it out!
Joss Whedon then went on to discuss how the Scarlet Witch's ability to exploit other people's weaknesses had introduced a new storytelling opportunity for him. “She can make you have a nightmare, is one way of putting it,” he said. “‘Trip balls,’ would be another one. That was something I very much wanted, because it meant we could spend a little time inside the Avengers’ heads — either their past or their impressions of what’s going on, or their fears, or all of the above. And confronting that is very debilitating for the Avengers, but it’s also kind of revelatory. That’s not the movie I made last time. I could never have done that.” Whedon also confirmed to BuzzFeed that the cameos made by Idris Elba (Heimdall) and Hayley Atwell (Peggy Carter) will be seen through these nightmare sequences. About getting into the Avengers' minds, Elizabeth Olsen says: “I do get to be a part of strong turning points in the story. If you’re in a group of a lot of men, it’s really easy to make the guys be the turning points. I actually get to charge things, which is nice.”
Marvel Studios presents Avengers: Age of Ultron, the epic follow-up to the biggest Super Hero movie of all time. When Tony Stark tries to jumpstart a dormant peacekeeping program, things go awry and Earth’s Mightiest Heroes, including Iron Man, Captain America, Thor, The Incredible Hulk, Black Widow and Hawkeye, are put to the ultimate test as the fate of the planet hangs in the balance.

Together with Scarlett Johansson as Black Widow and Jeremy Renner as Hawkeye, and with the additional support of Samuel L. Jackson as Nick Fury and Cobie Smulders as Agent Maria Hill, the team must reassemble to defeat James Spader as Ultron, a terrifying technological villain hell-bent on human extinction. Along the way, they confront two mysterious and powerful newcomers, Wanda Maximoff, played by Elizabeth Olsen, and Pietro Maximoff, played by Aaron Taylor-Johnson, and meet an old friend in a new form when Paul Bettany becomes Vision. Written and directed by Joss Whedon and produced by Kevin Feige, Marvel’s Avengers: Age of Ultron is based on the ever-popular Marvel comic book series “The Avengers,” published in 1963.
