Many people might find this news very surprising! While attending a Q&A at Paleyfest NY, Variety reports that the Avengers: Age of Ultron director Joss Whedon revealed that he made more money from Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog, an independent musical series made back in 2008, than he did from Marvel’s 2012 blockbuster, The Avengers. Even though that’s hard to believe, especially considering the fact that The Avengers racked up over 1 billion dollars worldwide, Joss Whedon claims this to be true.
As Forbes.com points out, Whedon has spoken on the matter before, and revealed that he’s not very happy with Marvel and how they manage their money. “Marvel can be very cheap, God knows. They can also be sensible and frugal.” Whedon did not go on to reveal exactly how much he accumulated from both movies.
