Joss Whedon Says “The Avengers Need To Die”

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:18906:]]

Bad news for The Avengers as Joss Whedon seems to be on the side of Ultron.

Joss Whedon’s The Avengers: Age Of Ultron comes out this May, and if Whedon’s following words are anything to go by, it’s possible at least one Avenger might not make it out alive.

“I’ve been working on a lot of Ultron scenes so I’m very anti-Avengers right now,” Whedon told Empire Magazine. “You can’t write someone if you don’t love them and I’ve come to the conclusion that Ultron is right. The Avengers need to die.”

In a previous interview, Whedon hinted that things aren’t looking good for the Avengers as he noted: “The creation of the team is not the happy ending. It is the beginning of something that is complex and difficult.”

The same interview also saw Whedon say that in further exploring the characters in The Avengers 2, he was “twisting the knife.”

“The Avengers: Age Of Ultron” hits May 1, 2015 directed by Joss Whedon starring Robert Downey Jr., Chris Evans, Chris Hemsworth, Scarlett Johansson, Mark Ruffalo, Jeremy Renner, Samuel L. Jackson, Elizabeth Olsen as Scarlet Witch, Aaron Taylor-Johnson as Quicksilver, Paul Bettany as Vision, with James Spader as Ultron.

Synopsis:

When Tony Stark tries to jumpstart a dormant peacekeeping program, things go awry and Earth’s Mightiest Heroes, including Iron Man, Captain America, Thor, The Incredible Hulk, Black Widow and Hawkeye, are put to the ultimate test as the fate of the planet hangs in the balance. As the villainous Ultron emerges, it is up to The Avengers to stop him from enacting his terrible plans, and soon uneasy alliances and unexpected action pave the way for an epic and unique global adventure.

The Visit is directed and written by Danish filmmaker Michael Madsen.

Synopsis:

A Documentary from Outer Space

THE VISIT is a documentary with comedy elements, and a philosophical exploration of our fear of strangers through the ultimate threat to our self-image: The discovery of Alien Intelligent Life.

In Vienna lies the UN-city, with its late 1970’s architecture and its extra-territorial status not unlike a giant spacecraft that has landed in the middle of the civilized world. Inside this impressive institution representing our belief in humanity, resides the UN Office of Outer Space Affairs – the OOSA.

THE VISIT opens with a close-up of an animal. It instinctively reacts to something unknown. Inside the OOSA, a phone rings. Deputy Director-General, astro-physicist, Dr. Mazlan Othman, is informed that an alien has arrived…

Elizabeth Olsen Talks Teaming With Spoiler In The Avengers 2

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:18899:]]

It’s known that Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver team with Ultron in The Avengers 2.

Empire Magazine has a featured article with Elizabeth Olsen and asks the actress how that comes about.

Obviously there are plenty of countries in the world that hate America, for whatever historical pain they believe it has caused their own country and their own lives. That is the world we have created for Wanda and Pietro, to have been brought up in. What you’re told a lot of times growing up is that that country, those people, their way of living is the reason why we have been bombed. They [The Avengers] are the worst evil in Wanda and Pietro’s mind, not this guy who hasn’t done anything yet. 

Olsen also talks more about Scarlet Witch’s powers.

The extent of our powers isn’t fully explored in Ultron. But she can manipulate objects. And she has visions, and she has the ability to share them. 

In the Marvel Comics, Scarlet Witch gets romantically involved with the Vision. Will it happen in the movie?

[Laughs] I don’t know what you’re talking about… 

“The Avengers: Age Of Ultron” hits May 1, 2015 directed by Joss Whedon starring Robert Downey Jr., Chris Evans, Chris Hemsworth, Scarlett Johansson, Mark Ruffalo, Jeremy Renner, Samuel L.

Robert Downey Jr. Explains Why Captain America 3 & Not Iron Man 4

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:18898:]]

The latest issue of Empire Magazine features Robert Downey Jr. discussing Captain America: Civil War, which follows The Avengers: Age Of Ultron.

It’s learned that if Robert Downey Jr. didn’t do Captain America 3, but maybe an Iron Man 4 instead, “Civil War” would have never happened.

They said to me, ‘If we have you, we can do this, or Cap 3 has to be something else.’ It’s nice to feel needed. And at this point it’s about helping each other, too. I look at it as a competition and I go, ‘Wow, maybe if these two franchises teamed up and I can take even a lesser position, with people I like and directors I respect, maybe we can keep things bumping along.’

Robert Downey Jr. also teases the seed for Civil War is planted in The Avengers 2.

It’s natural to change your views…The main thing to me is, what sort of incident could occur, and what sort of framework could we find Tony in? The clues about where we might find him next are in Ultron. But what would it take for Tony to completely turn around everything he’s stood for? Joss brings this up all the time. It’s kind of weird that these guys would have all these throw downs all over planet Earth and yet when the movie’s over, nobody minds. What would the American government do if this were real? Wouldn’t it be interesting to see Tony doing something you wouldn’t imagine?

In the Marvel Comics Civil War storyline, Iron Man was looked at as more the villain than Captain America; however, Robert Downey Jr. offers and interesting tidbit in that it could be Steve Rogers who is the one more to change his ways than Tony Stark.

The biggest question is, for Chris and for Cap, how do we bring Cap to a place where people go, ‘Man, I never thought I would see such a vast change in Steve.’ After you see Snowpiercer, you’re like, ‘I want to see a little bit of that guy.’

“Captain America: Civil War” has a May 6, 2016 release directed by Anthony and Joe Russo starring Robert Downey Jr. as Iron Man, Chris Evans as Captain America, Scarlett Johansson as Black Widow, Anthony Mackie as Falcon, Sebastian Stan as Winter Soldier and Chadwick Boseman as Black Panther.

Josh Whedon Doubtful For The Avengers 3 & 4 Infinity War

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:18897:]]

It doesn’t sound as if Joss Whedon will be back to direct The Avengers 3 or The Avengers 4, which are the Marvel Infinity War Part 1 and Part 2 movies.

Whedon, who directed The Avengers and has The Avengers: Age Of Ultron coming out in May, recently spoke with Empire Magazine where he let the news be known.

“I couldn’t imagine doing this again,” Whedon said.  “It’s enormously hard, and it be, by then, a good five years since I created anything that was completely my own.  So it’s very doubtful that I would take on the two-part Infinity War movie that would eat up the next four years of my life.  I obviously still want to be a part of the Marvel Universe – I love these guys – but it ain’t easy.  This year has been more like running three shows than any year of my life.  It is bonkers.”

With Whedon seemingly already out of the picture, it’s actually been said Captain America 2 and 3 directors Anthony and Joe Russo will be directing The Avengers: Infinity War Part 1 and Part 2 as leaked e-mails as a result of a Sony hack mentioned the directors involvement.

“The Avengers: Age Of Ultron” hits May 1, 2015 directed by Joss Whedon starring Robert Downey Jr., Chris Evans, Chris Hemsworth, Scarlett Johansson, Mark Ruffalo, Jeremy Renner, Samuel L.

First Look At Michael B. Jordan In Fantastic Four

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:18896:]]

Check out some first look images at Fantastic Four below as Fox has officially released set images featuring Michael B. Jordan, Simon Kinberg (screenwriter/producer) and director Josh Trank.

The Collider spoke with Trank and Kinberg who offered some details:

Fantastic Four looks to be about 2 hours to 2 hours and twenty minutes in length.

Regarding why the movie hasn’t been promoted just yet, Tranks defends the reasoning as he would rather have everyone see the finished product: “I’d rather show people what it looks like when it’s done.”

Trank compares FF to a David Cronberg movie and offers it’s more of a hard science-fiction reboot than a straight superhero movie.

Regarding a black Johnny Storm and a white Sue Storm, Trank offers: “I have mixed family in my own family and it’s something that isn’t out of the ordinary anymore but we don’t really see it portrayed in the casual reality of the movies.  That’s something I felt that would be interesting and challenging, to have mixed siblings.”

Kinberg says the Ultimate comics were the biggest influence from Marvel:  “Yeah, I think The Ultimates is probably our biggest influence because it’s the younger Fantastic Four.  And a lot of the science specifics are there.  And a lot of the means of transformation we took from those books. As you’ll see a little bit in the trailer and a lot in the movie, there are influences really from the beginning of what Kirby and Stan were doing in the 60’s all the way up into the present day. This is an origin story in many regards and it is inspired by The Ultimate Fantastic Four as much as anything else.”

Tranks says the Negative Zone “could be there in the movie.”

Kinberg says there are lot of Easter Eggs in the movie and one in the trailer.

Simon Kinberg confirms there are talks about a potential Fantastic Four and X-Men shared movie universe, as leaked e-mails as a result of the Sony hack stated a planned Fantastic Four and X-Men movie is underway:  “The extra challenge is that the X-Men films so far don’t acknowledge the Fantastic Four and the Fantastic Four takes place essentially in the same time period as the X-Men movies, the modern day.  So they have challenges.  But there are certainly conversations.”

“Fantastic Four” has an August 7, 2015 release directed by Josh Trank starring Miles Teller as Reed Richards, Michael B. Jordan as Johnny Storm, Jamie Bell as Ben Grimm,  Kate Mara as Sue Storm and Toby Kebbell as Victor von Doom.

Live-Action X-Men TV Series Being Planned

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:18890:]]

Fox is planning a new TV series based on the X-Men.

THR reports that sources have filled them in that Fox is in preliminary conversations to adapt the Marvel Comics’ X-Men comics and feature film franchise, with 24 producers Evan Katz and Manny Coto involved.

It’s also said the live-action X-Men series is being written by the Star Trek 3 writing duo of Patrick McKay and JD Payne.

While Fox owns the film rights to the X-Men, apparently Marvel and Disney would need to sign off, according to the report, which means the deal is far from being done.

It’s unknown if Fox would create a shared movie/TV universe similar to Marvel and Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. or go a different route such as DC is doing with their separate movie and TV universes.

Fox has Deadpool coming out next February, X-Men: Apocalypse coming out next May and plans for Wolverine 2 and a Gambit movie.

Deadpool Is Happening The Right Way Says Ryan Reynolds (Video)

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:18885:]]

We get to hear Ryan Reynolds’ thoughts on the Deadpool movie as the actor recently spoke with MTV.

“I’m waiting for your Deadpool question,” Reynolds joked with MTV. “Yeah, I knew it was coming.” 

‘Yes it is,” Reynolds responded when told it’s actually happening. “The budget isn’t what we hoped. This is the suit,” Reynolds continued to joke. 

“It’s been a long time. It’s happening the right way. That’s all that matters,” Reynolds continued. “We don’t have the kind of money that most superheroes do. That’s great, actually. Necessity is the mother of invention. That’s why we get the movie we want to make.”

MTV then mentions Green Lantern stating there were some ups and downs.

“Yes, there were some downs,” Reynolds remarked with a laugh.

“You got to just have faith with the people you are working with,” Reynolds said when asked if there was any fear of failing again. “You have to have faith in the prep, and that’s all I’m doing. On this one, the prep has been eleven years, so you like to think you put your best foot forward. We’ll see.”

Ryan Reynolds also comments on the leaked Deadpool footage, which is what seems to have sparked renewed interest in the Deadpool movie and got Fox to greenlight the film.

“Yeah, I would have leaked that footage myself. No. I would have Fox’s lawyers so far up my ass, they could smell Wade Wilson’s feet. No, I didn’t leak it, but I would have. Looking back now. In a heart beat. I should just go home and scan the old hard drive and see what I got in there.”
