Joss Whedon Shares SPIDER-MAN Regrets And Whether He'll Still Consult At Marvel Studios

Two massive Marvel movies was more than enough for Joss Whedon, and after spending the past four or five years of his life in their Cinematic Universe, he's now understandably hoping to try out some other projects. However, that means he won't get to direct the new Spider-Man in the two-part Avengers: Infinity War, and had this to say about missing out on that. "Yeah [I’d like to have worked on Spider-Man], he’s the poster child. He’s the first book I read, and I think that’s true for a lot of people. There are so many things I would want to do, even with these characters [The Avengers], even with just one of these characters. But the fact of the matter is: they’re doing fine, and I’ve probably got to move on." Paul Bettany - a.k.a. The Vision - will get to spend some time with Spidey though, and seems very excited about the prospect. "I think it’s great that Marvel and Sony have worked this out. Because these films are made by fans and to see Spider-Man come to life in these movies, where he should be… is going to be great." Do you agree with these two?
