Joss Whedon Reiterates Why He's Not Directing Marvel's AVENGERS: INFINITY WAR
With the Russos all set to helm the third and fourth installments to the Avengers franchise, Joss Whedon explains here why he's not returning to the director's chair after Age of Ultron. Check it out!
While doing an impression of Al Pacino in The Godfather, Kevin Feige said to Whedon, “Just when you think you’re out, you get pulled back in.” Which prompted the Age of Ultron director to point his finger at the Marvel producer, and quip: “That’s the other reason I’m not making a third one.”
As Marvel Studios finally announced earlier this week, the two-part Avengers: Infinity War will be helmed by Captain America: The Winter Soldier directing duo Anthony and Joe Russo, who are currently prepping for Captain America: Civil War to start shooting later this month. The Russos will also be reteaming with screenwriters Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeely on the Phase 3 event, which will see Earth's Mightiest Heroes take on the mad titan Thanos, played by Josh Brolin. Anyhow, Infinity War: Part I is set for release on May 4, 2018, while Part II will open May 3, 2019.
