In a recent interview with HITFIX, Kevin Feige has talked more about making Iron Man 2 a movie for those who both read the comic books and those that dont, John Slatery, Mickey Rourke's secret costume, Sam Rockwell, Black Widow's role in the movie and Joss Whedon as director of The Avengers! These are some of the main highlights of the interview but for the whole thing, follow the link at the bottom of the page!

On Making The Movie Easy To Understand For Non-Comic Book Readers:

"It's hard, frankly, because you don't want the audience to feel like they have to do homework before they go to a movie. We live in this every day, and someone who reads your website may recognize Captain America's shield in Tony Stark's stuff he gets from his father, but a large part of the audience isn't going to do that."

On Nick Fury:

"There are lots of people who never saw the scene at the end of the first one, and even if they did, they thought he was just some weird guy. And for people who haven't seen that scene, now there's some weird guy who shows up at a donut stand. And all they really need to know is that he's a weird guy who wants to recruit Tony for something, and they have some history together."


On Whether John Slattery Will Return As Howard Stark:

"To be honest with you, we usually sign people up for multiple performances, but I'm not sure if we did that with him. Certainly, though, Howard Stark is an important part of the continuity, especially moving forward."

On Keeping The Final Look of Mickey Rourke Secret:

"It's impossible to do these days, and the only way to really do it is to structure your visual effects pipeline so nobody has access to those scenes until the very last minute. Those grabby-hand marketing department guys can only get what's done."

On Sam Rockwell's Almost Complete Absent From The Trailers:

"And now he's one of my favorite things about the movie. It's just that the nature of his scenes, they don't really cut well into trailer beats."

On Keeping Black Widow's Role In The Film A Mystery:

"Yeah, that was tricky! Since she's got a big S.H.I.E.L.D logo right there on her arm, we had to photoshop that out of all the early materials we sent out."

On Joss Whedon Directing The Avengers:

"We haven't announced that! I can't talk about that in particular, but I can say that we like choices that cause debate among people. All of the filmmakers that we look at for our films have pros and cons, and the most important pro for us is having a point of view and bringing something to the table that we might not otherwise have."

"Look, we can help a director with the effects or the massive size of the production. I still remember after 'Zathura,' Favreau wanted to do everything with models. Yeah, he's changed that tune a bit!"

Joss Whedon is a better director than Michael Bay, and those assholes who made Disaster movie, Epic movie and Meet the spartans.

Joss Whedon doesn't seem like the right fit for Avengers to me but it's out of our hands. I would still prefer Loius Letterier or Jon Favreau, but Favreau is at least producer so that gives me some confidence.

@Josh Congrats, but didn't this happen a while ago you became an editor?

@Anil um... okay? I won't lie I am very confused...

IGIRL/DeathWalker: Thanks! :P

As for what Feige is saying here, he makes some interesting points but I actually think that they may have revealed too much in the trailers..! There are actually very little in the way of surprises with the movie that you didnt already catch a glimpse of in the trailers! I think I'll learn a lesson from this and try to stay away from all of the photos, clips and maybe even trailers that they'll release for Thor and The First Avenger! :)

And go Joss Whedon - Nathan Fillion for Ant-Man/Giant Man!!!

Requirements for Avengers: 1)Killer Action 2) Balanced Use of Multiple Great Characters 3)Villain You Love To Hate. I think Whedon can do 2 and 3. 1 is in question. That's where Letterier or some great assistant director/coordinator type people could help.
