Joss Whedon Talks More About The Titular Villain In THE AVENGERS: AGE OF ULTRON
The writer and director of The Avengers: Age of Ultron talks more about why he chose that particular villain to take on Earth's Mightiest Heroes in the highly anticipated sequel, describing him as "a real problem" for the team. Check it out!
"I was pitching Ultron before I took the job on the first movie," Joss Whedon told Total Film at the San Diego Comic-Con last week. "I was like, ‘I don’t know if I want to do this, but for the second one, you should totally do Ultron.’" As for why exactly he decided to choose the villain for this movie - after all, many fans believed that Thanos would be the main foe in the sequel after he was introduced in the mid-credits scene of The Avengers - Whedon revealed that he's a big fan of the character and that he has even bigger plans for him in the movie. "Because he’s been a thorn in their side as much as any other character over the years and particularly back in my history. He was great. He’s somebody who can juice things up and he’s a real problem for the Avengers. That’s not always easy to find. It’s not like the Vulture is really going to give them a hard time for 20 minutes." Are you guys looking forward to seeing Ultron on the big screen?
