Joss Whedon ‘Very Torn’ About Returning For Avengers Sequel

Joss Whedon made Avengers work. He also has cool ideas for a sequel, and, reportedly, the mid-credits scene was his idea.
So, you know, if he has any interest in doing the sequel, me and a million fanboys will geek out. If he hasn’t, I’ll respect his choice, hope the sequel gets a good director and wish all the best for Joss’s future endeavors.

PLEASE do Avengers 2, Joss!!  There’s no one else.  Some of the biggest and best directors in Hollywood today wouldn’t even come close to what you could do with the characters again!

If he doesn’t return for Avengers 2 (I hope he does), maybe he could do a Justice League movie for Warner. Anything to make that film not suck!

*gets on hands and knees and begs* Please oh Please do it Joss!!!

Get out of here. I’d think coming back for Avengers II would be a no-brainer. I would be very surprised if he didn’t come back.

At this point, I just can’t see ANYONE pulling-off “Avengers 2″ but Whedon, because the movie just wasn’t meant to happen so magically…and he did it. Marvel needs to throw money at him, build statues in his honor, offer to finance his personal projects…WHATEVER IT TAKES.

Get the man on the job, Marvel.

Do it.

 You have gone too far there.  Uwe Boll only has the ability to make a comicbook/videogame movie bomb.  Please respect this skill.  I am offended for Mr. Boll at your insinuations of box office success.

Said Whedon, “It’s an enormous amount of work telling what is ultimately somebody
else’s story,”
– (if I seem too eager to rejoin the project, then my agent gets mad at me.)

“…even though I feel like I did get to put myself into it.”
–(in my first draft, you-know-who got killed when a giant spar off a spaceship impaled him, but the studio made me change that to Loki’s scepter).

“…But at the same time, I have a bunch of ideas, and they all seem really
cool.”
– (I’m already working on it, so it’s totes a done deal, but in this town you can’t announce that until the contracts are signed and the check is cashed).

To be honest when it comes to Avengers stories on the big screen… well Avengers stories that would work anyways, Civil War doesn’t even come close to one that would a) work properly or b) hold my interest. In printed form it worked well enough.. but that was with all the marvel characters at their disposal and the (45 years) of history between those characters that made it work.. when working in the film Universe go for the more bombastic, outlandish arcs for inspiration…

Im talking Ultron, Kang the conquerer, alternate versions of Hulk or whatever.. just not the team implodes and fights each other… just no! A lot of people are calling for it to happen.. but then again a lot of people called for a wolverines solo film and Venom in the spiderman films and look how they turned out!

They’ve got Thanos (probably next), they should then go on to Ultron and then Kang for a final fourth film if they get that far. Those are pretty awesome villains to base the movies around. Then you’ve still got the Red Skull, Loki, Enchantress, Baron Zemo, Crossbones, Mandarin, Fin Fang Foom or WHOEVER they so decide to feature in the solo films… They fought frickin aliens that flew through a portal from the other side of the universe OR another dimension.. anything is game now in the Marvel film universe and people (as judging by the BILLION plus the movie has made) will accept it.

Can’t really see Avengers 2 actually happening AND being any good – they needed to double-down and follow it straight up rather than going the Iron Man 3/Thor 2/Cap 2 route. They’d have an easier time getting Whedon back if they could offer him complete control over what happens next, there’d be less time for paycheques to inflate, and so forth. Oh well.

I just don’t think it’s all that hard to pull off an Avengers movie that it has been established.
