Joss Whedon Rumored To Direct The Flash & Supergirl

Joss Whedon may be jumping ship over to DC.

According to a new rumor, Joss Whedon is going to direct The Flash and Supergirl musical crossover episodes, which was announced yesterday.

The rumor may have some merit as Whedon recently let it be known that he is a big fan of The Flash series, and Grant Gustin also recently said he wants Joss Whedon to direct an episode of The Flash.

Whedon also previously directed musical episodes for Buffy and Glee; the latter saw both Grant Gustin and Melissa Benoist star in the series.

The villain of The Flash and Supergirl musical crossover is also rumored to be the Music Meiser, which was a character created for the Batman: The Brave and The Bold animated series musical episode. It’s also suggested Neil Patrick Harris may play the role as Harris voiced Music Meiser and also was featured in Whedon’s Dr. Horrible Sing-Along musical.

Hopefully if the rumor turns out to be true, this is a sign that things between Joss Whedon and WB are mending as there has been bad blood between the two over years back when Whedon was involved with various Wonder Woman and Batman projects. Bringing Joss Whedon over to the DCEU wouldn’t be a bad thing at all as well.

Joss Whedon recently parted ways with Marvel following The Avengers 2, with Marvel CEO Ike Perlmutter’s interference said to be the blame; however, with Kevin Feige booting Perlmutter from Marvel Studios, now Whedon has said he would still like to do work for Marvel Studios again and even said he wouldn’t mind directing a Black Widow movie.

Grant Gustin Wants Joss Whedon To Direct An Episode Of The Flash

Joss Whedon just said he wouldn’t mind tackling the Black Widow movie, well, how about an episode of The Flash?

Members of the press caught up with Grant Gustin at Comic-Con where the actor let it be known that Whedon happens to be a big fan of the series.

“I met Joss Whedon last night,” reports CBR. “Yeah, that’d be really cool. He was a really nice guy and he loves the show. He’s seen every episode of the show.”

Joss Whedon recently directed Avengers and Avengers 2 for Marvel. At one time he was involved with a Batman and Wonder Woman movie at WB, which caused a bit of bad blood between the two, but that was years ago. Whedon has since left Marvel (but did state he wouldn’t mind returning), and with Whedon’s success on TV with Buffy, Angel, Firefly, etc., The Flash would be a perfect choice.

I wouldn’t actually mind seeing Whedon jump ship and come on board the DCEU as well.

Joss Whedon Wants To Make The Black Widow Movie

While Joss Whedon has taken a bit of a break following The Avengers 2, Whedon recently said he would like to return to Marvel.

Well, how about directing the Black Widow movie?

Whedon told IGN (via Yahoo) that he would be all up for it.

“If someone pointed at me and said, ‘Do you want to do a Black Widow movie?’, the answer would be, ‘Duh!’” Whedon said. “For two reasons: I think that character really is very interesting and very earthbound, so it’s the kind of action that I got to do less of with somebody like Thor or The Vision… Also, Scarlett Johansson is just delightful. She works really hard but she just spends most of her time cracking me up, so it would be a fun shoot.”

Whedon continues with mention that his version of a Black Widow movie would be more of a spy thriller and less of a super hero flick: “…a good, paranoid, John le Carré-on-crack kind of thing.”

Marvel Studios hasn’t announced a Black Widow movie yet, and it has left fans shaking their heads as to why.

Scarlett Johansson has proved she can carry her own movie as Lucy was a whopping success and wasn’t even a part of the Marvel brand. In addition, Scarett Johansson also happens to be Hollywood’s top grossing actress, and she next stars in Ghost in the Shell.

The good news is that Marvel themselves have taken notice and are aware of the potential of a Black Widow movie.

“It’s a no-brainer, right?” Anthony Russo told Collider back in May. “I don’t think [it’ll take] much,” added Joe Russo. “I think it’s just a function of where on the slate it goes. She’s a badass.”

Dark Horse Comics & Joss Whedon Announce Buffy Season 11

HE STAKES ARE HIGH, THE NIGHTS ARE LONG, AND BUFFY HAS TO SAVE THE WORLD…AGAIN

Dark Horse and Joss Whedon announce “Buffy the Vampire Slayer” Season 11

SAN DIEGO, Calif., July 19, 2016 — Dark Horse is excited to announce the next installment in Joss Whedon’s Buffy comics series, Buffy the Vampire Slayer Season 11. The talented comics duo of Christos Gage (Buffy the Vampire Slayer Season 10, Avengers Academy) and Rebekah Isaacs (Buffy the Vampire Slayer Season 10, Angel & Faith) returns with more shenanigans from the Scoobies.

After overcoming the struggles of Season 10, Buffy and the Scoobies give themselves a well-deserved break from fighting evil. Unfortunately, the momentary peace comes to a screeching halt when a supernatural disaster wreaks havoc on the citizens of San Francisco, and the gang is forced to save the world from imminent doom, again.

Buffy Season 10 writer Christos Gage described his excitement for the next season of the beloved supernatural thriller: “Buffy fans have been wonderful to Rebekah and me throughout Season 10, so I couldn’t be more excited to keep our creative team together for Season 11! True to form, Joss is not content to just rest on his well-earned laurels, so Season 11 will shake things up with a story that’s shorter, bigger, more epic, and presents what may be the greatest challenge Buffy and the Scoobies have ever faced. We hope the readers will enjoy the ride!”

Buffy the Vampire Slayer Season 11 will have twelve issues total. The first issue goes on sale November 23, 2016. Karl Moline (Fray) will create a special Dark Horse 30th Anniversary variant cover for the first issue.

Buffy creator Joss Whedon is signing on Saturday, July 23, from 5 p.m. to 5:50 p.m.in the Dark Horse booth at San Diego Comic-Con. Christos Gage will sign from 1 p.m. to 1:50 p.m. on Thursday, July 21.

Joss Whedon Wants To Return To Marvel

A few months ago saw Joss Whedon make mention he was done working with Marvel, but now it’s learned the Avengers director may have just needed some time off.

While participating at the SVA Theatre in Manhattan’s Chelsea neighborhood as part of the Tribeca Film Festival’s Talk series along with Hulk actor Mark Rufffalo, Joss Whedon mentioned that he isn’t close minded about taking on other Marvel projects down the road, and he hopes Marvel hasn’t quit on him either.

“It was just five years of my life,” Whedon told Deadline about working on both Avengers movies. “I took a two-week vacation for the first time in 25 years, except for the four month vacation where I wrote the Buffy musical. I set out to accomplish nothing.”

Ruffalo welcomed Whedon back into the fold.

“I begged him to do Avengers 3 and 4, Hulk 3, Thor 3 and Quasimodo, and he said, ‘I’ll never do it again,’” Ruffalo joked to the audience. “I was getting worried about you, but you’re back.”

“Yeah, I’m back,” Whedon said.

It’s noted Whedon’s next project (not Marvel) is currently being kept under wraps, but Whedon offered it’s “super good” and “a definite departure.”

Watch: Tom Hiddleston Loki Cut Footage From Avengers 2 Blu-Ray

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:22024:]]

Much to the dismay of Loki fans around the world, Marvel cut Tom Hiddleston from The Avengers: Age of Ultron.

Initially, Marvel told Joss Whedon that Hiddleston couldn’t even be in the movie, but when Whedon actually talked to Hiddleston, Tom said he would appear in The Avengers 2.

Then when it came down to it, Marvel cut Tom Hiddleston from the Thor cave scene (maybe at the hands of the Marvel Creative Committee?).

Now video of Tom Hiddleston in The Avengers: Age Of Ultron has hit the net from what appears to be footage from the Blu-Ray.

It’s not much, but at least you can get your Loki fix while we wait for Tom Hiddleston in Thor 3.

Tom Hiddleston will also be featured in Crimson Peak, out October 16th.

Watch a featurette for The Avengers 2 above featuring footage from the opening battle, as well as Joss Whedon, Kevin Feige and producer Jeremy Latcham talking about the start of the film.

The Avengers 2 has also crossed the billion dollar mark at the box office, currently making it the #3 top Marvel movie overall, just short of Iron Man 3 and The Avengers.

The Avengers 2 has a domestic gross of just over $372 million, with another $770.5 million coming from international audiences giving it a current total of $1,142,530,708.

The first Avengers movie saw over $623 million in the U.S. and over $895 million internationally for a total worldwide cume of $1,518,594,910.

Iron Man 3 stands at $1,215,439,994 worldwide.

“The Avengers: Age Of Ultron” is currently in theaters 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.

Joss Whedon A Possibility For Star Wars: Episode IX

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:20464:]]

With Joss Whedon done with Marvel, at least for the time being, possibly there is only one way for the director to go and that is up.

It’s being speculated/guessed/rumored that Whedon may be in the running to direct Star Wars: Episode IX.

An apparently fan podcast joked about the possibility of Whedon directing a Star Wars movie in which Making Star Wars caught wind of it and stated it’s a possibility.

We were told “It is extremely possible”.

It feels like the rumors are getting going because the possibility exists. It is possible. It almost seems crazy to imagine they never had a meeting or haven’t had a meeting just to discuss the possibilities. Maybe that’s what happened here?

Most would agree that Disney doesn’t want to lose Whedon. Giving him some Star Wars is one way of keeping him in the fold. It would also allow him to work on another project before starting on Star Wars: Episode IX. But for what it is worth, I only heard his name for the second Anthology a few times as well [as a replacement for Josh Trank], within the last week and that seems a bit beneath him after doing both Avengers films.

Interestingly enough, Whedon recently did state he has interest in directing a Star Wars film as he told IGN:

Right now I’d be interested in a long nap! But are you kidding? It’s Star Wars! It’s always going to be Star Wars!

I rule out nothing. But I think it would not be my choice. You have two enormously strong, very textured universes. To say we have just the one would be to in some way dilute them. I think it makes sense to keep them in their own time, which I believe was long ago and not so close by.

Whedon also told Collider he wouldn’t want to use the characters or storylines from the original Trilogy, but something new, which more than likely with Star Wars: Episode IX being the last in the new Trilogy would feature:

You know, I wouldn’t go back, I’d go forward. I would want to create characters that would resonate the way that they did. I mean not that I don’t want to see [the new movies], I would be excited to, but I also feel like I would want to explore a very different part of that universe.

Joss Whedon Explains Why He Left Twitter

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:20425:]]

Following the weekend debut of Avengers 2, Josh Whedon closed his Twitter account and said good-bye to his 1.14 million followers.

And then the rumors and speculation began to fly.

Apparently one theory had it Whedon left due to the liberaly feminists who weren’t happy with Black Widow’s depiction in Avengers 2.

However, Whedon tells BuzzFeed that’s a bunch of BS.

“That is horseshit. Believe me, I have been attacked by militant feminists since I got on Twitter. That’s something I’m used to. Every breed of feminism is attacking every other breed, and every subsection of liberalism is always busy attacking another subsection of liberalism, because god forbid they should all band together and actually fight for the cause.”

Whedon goes on to explain why he chose to leave.

“I just thought, Wait a minute, if I’m going to start writing again, I have to go to the quiet place. And this is the least quiet place I’ve ever been in my life. … It’s like taking the bar exam at Coachella. It’s like, Um, I really need to concentrate on this! Guys! Can you all just… I have to… It’s super important for my law!”

Whedon does say he would consider going back to Twitter at some point, but the article states the more Whedon talked about it the less likely it seemed.

“I’m sure I’d consider it at some point. It’s a lot of fun. I had a great time.”

James Gunn & Joe Russo Respond To Joss Whedon Leaving Twitter

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:20409:]]

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:20408:]]

Earlier last night saw Avengers 2 director Josh Whedon bid his 1.14 milion Twitter followers good-bye and close his account.

Now James Gunn has taken to his Facebook to offer the following.

Imagine being a guy, like Joss Whedon, who has committed his life to fandom and to creating the best characters he possibly can, characters he loves, and has spent two years of his life working on a movie, and then has to wake up to this shit on Twitter. Yes, I know – Age of Ultron has an “A” Cinemascore, and far and away most people loved it. But the angry contingent of fandom is getting more aggressive all the time, and it’s difficult to block out as a person in the public eye.

My plea to all of you – and this is nothing new – is that we all try to be a little kinder, on the Internet and elsewhere. And, honestly, that includes being kind to the people who are tweeting this nonsense. I don’t believe you can tweet about wanting to find a movie director and “curbstomp” him and be a happy person. That person’s statement might make you a little angry – that makes me angry too. But thank God the circumstances of my life and your life didn’t lead us to being the person that has the need to anonymously tweet that to someone on the Internet. And, as much as we may want to respond with vitriol to these tweets, I think that just creates more insanity.

As a young person I was very angry, and it’s something I have worked on, both personally and through years of therapy. And if I can say one truth about anger, it is that anger is almost never anger. Anger – especially aggressive and abusive anger – is a way to deal with feeling insecure, sad, hurt, vulnerable, powerless, fearful, or confused. Those feelings, for many of us, are a lot more difficult to deal with and acknowledge than anger. Anger makes us feel “right”. And powerful. But it also usually exacerbates whatever the underlying, more uncomfortable feeling is.

A couple months ago someone on Twitter wrote me that something one of my characters said in my movie hurt him. I’ve gotten hundreds of tweets from people angry about moments in my films over the years, and I just ignore them, or get angry in return. But that one tweet affected me profoundly. The last thing I want to do with my work is hurt someone, especially someone who already feels disenfranchised. That made me think about what I write and what I put in my films, and I will be more thoughtful about situations like it in the future. That is, one honest and vulnerable tweet affected more change in me than hundreds of angry ones.

So, again, it’s easy to be outraged by these tweets. But whatever these angry tweeters are in need of, I don’t think it’s more anger and more rage thrown back at them on Twitter. I actually think that’s what they’re seeking. But what they need is something different. Compassion, maybe? A kind request for boundaries? I don’t know. Maybe you guys have some ideas.

And by the way – Yes, I know there are real issues at play here. But, again, I don’t think the way to affect change is through rage. That is just going to increase whatever divide you’re experiencing in the first place. I believe that there are a handful of truly evil, awful human beings out there. But the majority of us on all sides of an issue think we’re doing the right thing and are doing the best we can. If we assume that of each other, it makes life a lot easier.

Love you all,
james

Updated: Gunn also posted the following from Joe Russo:

My friend Joe Russo of the Russo brothers on the rage that’s been directed toward Joss Whedon on the Internet the past couple of days: “This kind of vitriol should be reserved for issues that actually demand outrage. Look around at your world… fiction is not one of them.”

Joss Whedon Closes Twitter Account

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:20390:]]

Following the opening weekend of Avengers 2, Joss Whedon has closed his Twitter account.

The director had 1.14 million followers at the time, with his last tweet reading: “Thank you to all the people who’ve been so kind and funny and inspiring up in here.”

We are guessing Whedon is more than likely just burned out from the Avengers 2 press tour as well as dealing with the people on Twitter, who usually are less positive than other social networks.

The Avengers: Age Of Ultron is currently in theaters.

Joss Whedon Reveals Avengers 2 Alternate Ending & Deleted Scenes

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:20387:]]

Joss Whedon recently stated The Avengers: Age Of Ultron Blu-Ray would feature lots of deleted scenes, and now expands upon that in a podcast with Empire.

Spoilers follow.

Alternate Ending

Getting right to the alternate ending, Whedon says it featured Quicksilver. Whedon said they actually shot footage of Aaron Taylor-Johnson as a New Avenger: Quicksilver wakes up from all his bullet wounds, and then was shown next to his sister, Scarlet Witch, at the end of the movie along with a new costume. Whedon stated the reason for filming the additional Quicksilver scene was because he wasn’t sure if the Marvel executives were going to let him kill off Quicksilver, as maybe they could have another “franchise,” but the execs obviously didn’t mind the death. Regarding why he killed off Quicksilver, he compared it to The Five Rings where all the elders survive and make it, but the younger characters die. Whedon also went on to state that he had hoped with it getting out Johnson signed a “multi-picture” deal, that it would throw audiences off. Whedon also hoped it wouldn’t get out that Jeremy Renner was going to be in further Marvel movies, as he teased Hawkeye’s death a lot in the film, but alas that didn’t happen (Renner is in Cap 3). Whedon also joked about people tweeting about the Avengers 2 script on Twitter.

Tom Hiddleston/Thor cave dream

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:20385:]]

Whedon also explained what happened with Tom Hiddleston. The Thor hex dream cave sequence was supposed to feature Tom Hiddleston as Loki as more of a spirit guide. Whedon was also going to include a joke referring to Loki being king from Thor 2 (Hiddleston doing an Anthony Hopkins impression). Whedon said Marvel stated they couldn’t sign Hiddleston for the scene, so they offered Idris Elba, whom Whedon was more than happy to have. Whedon then ended up seeing Hiddleston and asked Hiddleston if he would like to be in Avengers 2, which Hiddleston agreed to. The Marvel execs ended up deciding to cut Hiddleston as they didn’t want to introduce him this way and this late (my note: no worries Hiddleston is confirmed for Thor 3). Whedon also said the execs wanted to cut the Thor cave scene in its entirety, and at one point gave him an ultimatum: the cave scene or the farm house. Whedon stated he was exhausted and was ready to give in – they were just going to have Thor fly away and come back to explain things – but the editors working on Avengers 2 helped save the cave scene as it was necessary to tell the story surrounding Thor. Whedon also said a lot of the cave scene featuring Chris Hemsworth was cut, which was really great. Why it was cut was because it didn’t fit with how Thor was portrayed in the movie (my note: Whedon seemed to insinuate the Thor cave scene was real serious, but Thor in Avengers 2 was more comical. At least that is my interpretation). Whedon also said the execs weren’t too big on any of the dream scenes in general (my note: The mysterious woman in the cave was cut as well.)

Banner/Widow

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:20386:]]

Another deleted scene was between Scarlett Johansson and Mark Ruffalo. Originally, Whedon had Ruffalo deny Black Widow’s advances in the room scene. Marvel came back with it that they should wait until the end of the movie for that, which Whedon liked.

Planet Hulk

Regarding Planet Hulk, Whedon never had any intention of shooting the Hulk to space, and as far as he knows there is no intent to make a Planet Hulk movie. What Whedon wanted to do was reference Banner looking up at the stars when he said, “Where in the world am I not a threat?” Whedon said he wanted to leave people with the idea that – if this is the last movie – that Banner/Hulk may have left the world behind. Whedon said he thought there was something enormously poetic about that and at the same time something enormously misleading about that (“because they don’t plan to make Planet Hulk as far as I know”). The Marvel execs said no, to just use sky, no stars.

Other things cut or didn’t get to happen:

Whedon also said he wanted Captain Marvel and Spider-Man in the movie, which we previously wrote about.

Grey Hulk was supposed to be featured versus Hulkbuster.

Vision

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:20388:]]

Whedon also said he came up with the idea for Vision to pick up the hammer on a whim. Whedon already had the party scene and the Quicksilver scene, and then joked with producer Jeremy Latcham about Vision picking up the hammer, and thought Kevin Feige would hate it. Latcham apparently writes everything down they talk about, but forgot the Vision hammer pitch. When Feige came in and they went over the notes, Whedon joked about the Vision bit, with Feige questioning Latcham. When Feige heard it he loved it and remarked to Latcham, “So that’s the thing you forgot to write down?”

Thanos:

Whedon let it be known he shot and came up with the Thanos mid-credit teaser, which featured Josh Brolin.

Whedon Wanted Spider-Man & Captain Marvel In Avengers 2

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:20382:]]

First Loki, and then Grey Hulk, now it’s learned Spider-Man and Ms. Captain Marvel Carol Danvers were going to be put in Avengers 2.

It turns out Joss Whedon’s Avengers: Age Of Ultron may have been different if things would have worked out.

While Loki and the Grey Hulk were cut, Whedon says Spider-Man and Captain Marvel just came too late.

Empire has the following from Whedon when they questioned if the line-up in the movie was the line-up he wanted:

“Well, I wanted all those people. I said it would be great if we could just add a few more. If you guys could make a Ms. Marvel – I always say Ms. Marvel because that’s when I read it. That’s what it was. – If we could have a Captain Marvel there that you have made a deal for. And they talked about it. I was like ‘Spider-Man, we could do that, too.’ Sony had approached us during the first [Avengers] movie about a little integration. So I would have put both of them in, but neither of the deals were made. Then they were like ‘we’re making a Captain Marvel movie, and we’ve got Spider-Man as a property.’ I’m like ‘I’ve already locked my film you f-ckers. Thanks for nothing.'”

Marvel ended up announcing the Captain Marvel movie about six months ago, and Spider-Man only recently, with the new Web Crawler speculated to first appear in Captain America: Civil War prior to the new standalone Spider-Man movie in 2017.

Captain Marvel has a November 2, 2018 release with no actor yet cast for Carol Danvers.

Tom Hiddleston & Loki Got Cut From Avengers 2 (Video)

Back when Idris Elba let it slip he had a role in Avengers 2, Elba also made mention of Tom Hiddleston.

However, for those that have seen the movie, Loki didn’t appear.

Now director Joss Whedon explains why.

“Tom is not in the movie. Idris misspoke. Twice [laughs]. We did shoot something, and it didn’t play. The movie has so much. It’s so filled, and we didn’t want to feel over stuffed. I really wanted to have Loki in it, but I understood the decision that it was just ‘okay, now there are too many voices in the chorus.'”

Whedon did previously state the The Avengers 2 Blu-Ray would contain a lot of deleted scenes, so perhaps we’ll see the Loki scene there.

The Avengers: Age Of Ultron is currently playing in theaters.

Joss Whedon Wanted A Daredevil Movie Instead Of TV Series

Daredevil has been a raging success for Marvel and Netflix as it’s received rave reviews and topped the ratings.

Now it’s learned instead of a Netflix series, Daredevil almost became a Marvel Studios movie.

Joss Whedon tells IGN he wanted a new Daredevil feature film instead of the TV series, but does offer that adapting comic to TV does work as comics are set-up in a similar fashion.

Here is the blurb:

I fought for Daredevil to be a film instead of a TV show. Then under the auspices of Drew Goddard and Steve DeKnight… I’m dying to see the show but they released it just as I started the press tour! So I haven’t seen it yet. If the show’s working, the show’s working. Comic books are serialized entertainment, and a lot of them lend themselves to TV shows as much or more than they do to movies.

I like [Daredevil] because he’s basically Marvel’s Batman, thanks to Frank Miller basically. So for me, I didn’t think they’d be able to sustain that sort of mood on TV, but TV has changed so much. It’s come up so much, that I think it might just be the right place for it.

Whedon has Avengers 2 out his Friday, and Marvel has already announced Daredevil Season 2 is in development.

Joss Whedon Jokes Agents Of SHIELD Isn’t Real & Again Says Coulson Is Dead

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:20247:]]

~~Coulson Lives!~~

Coulson’s Dead!

One way of getting around the lackluster reception of Agents Of S.H.I.E.L.D. is to simply state it never existed in the first place.

That’s what Joss Whedon says (well not the lackluster part) as Whedon states again that Coulson is dead.

This time, Whedon tells IGN the following – offering Agents Of SHIELD is just a Coulson fever dream:

Yeah he’s dead. The entire television series is just a fever dream. It’s a Jacob’s Ladder moment he’s having at the point of death, but we don’t give that away until after season seven. And there’s a snow globe. Now I’ve given it away. Bollocks!

Whedon continues with mention that while Marvel TV and Marvel Studios are a part of the same shared universe, essentially they are separate.

It’s a weird little yes and no. As far as I’m concerned in the films, yes he’s dead. In terms of the narrative of these guys [The Avengers] his loss was very important. When I created the television show, it was sort of on the understanding that this can work and we can do it with integrity, but these Avengers movies are for people to see the Avengers movies and nothing else. And it would neither make sense nor be useful to say ‘Oh and by the way remember me? I died!’”

Whedon also went on to talk about how he thinks Marvel Studios was annoyed by Marvel TV and makes a remark about the events from Captain America: The Winter Soldier.

“I think actually the movie people were a little bit cross about the TV show” Whedon revealed. “They were sort of like ‘Well you can have this but not this. And this but not that.’ It’s complicated enough as it is without me adding another layer of complication. We also created a TV show called S.H.I.E.L.D. right before they made a movie where they destroyed S.H.I.E.L.D.. So everybody’s having a GREAT time!”

Marvel TV is also launching two new series for ABC with one being a SHIELD spinoff featuring Adrianne Palicki, and the other is rumored to possibly feature the new Marvel Comics muslim character who took over the Ms. Marvel codename.

The Avengers 2 Rumored To Have Alternate Ending & Extended Blu-Ray Edition

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:20209:]]

Well, this is one way to entice fans to pre-order The Avengers 2 Blu-Ray.

How about telling them it features an alternate ending and an extended version?

A user on reddit posted the following screen grab of an e-mail sent by Amazon UK where it’s stated “…you might like to know that Avengers: Age Of Ultron is available to pre-order on DVD and Blu-Ray, including an extended version and alternate ending.”

This seems to conflict with what Joss Whedon recently stated in that there will not be an Avengers 2 director’s cut, just that the Blu-Ray will feature lots of deleted scenes.

“The Avengers: Age Of Ultron” opens May 1st.

Whedon Says Lots Of Deleted Scenes On The Avengers 2 Blu-Ray; Talks Vision

The Avengers 2 was rumored at one time to be around 3 hours, with the rough cut probably at least four hours long.

It would be a shame for all that footage to go unnoticed, but fear not as Joss Whedon lets it be known there will be a lot of deleted scenes once The Avengers 2 Blu-Ray is released.

“There will be very many scenes on the DVD,” Whedon stated in the above interview. “I think ultimately I might argue one or two little things I would have liked to put in the movie, but generally, most of them belong on the DVD. And people will see why, but I am still proud of them, and people will see why we had them in the first place. It’s not one of those things where it’s the Director’s Cut. This is the movie.”

Watch more from Whedon above talking Paul Bettany and the Vision.

“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.

Joss Whedon Talks Why Planet Hulk Might Not Work

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:20190:]]

A Planet Hulk movie is currently all the rage amongst the online chatter.

The comic book storyline saw Marvel heroes trick the Hulk into space in a plan to maroon the Green Goliath on a planet where he would no longer be bothered and would no longer bother anyone else. The only problem is that instead of going to the planet, the Hulk goes through a wormhole and ends up a slave on the planet Sakaar.

Now Joss Whedon weighs in on a potential Planet Hulk movie with IGN offering it would be really expensive and at the same time says a Hulk movie should be more grounded and center around Banner. The Planet Hulk comic storyline featured virtually none of Banner as the Planet Sakaar was considered too dangerous for the puny Banner to survive so they remained in Hulk form.

It absolutely could be put onscreen. I don’t know if it should. I think part of what makes the Hulk great is the world around him and the Banner of it. And it would be mad expensive as well. I think if they were going to do a Hulk movie, they’d want to keep it more grounded.

Regarding the comment of Planet Hulk not featuring Banner, which Feige has also mentioned, obviously the movie could just be a different adaptation with more Banner elements added to the film.

Whedon also talks about the Hulk in both of his Avengers movies and offers his take on two different versions of the Hulk. Warning: There is a slight spoiler.

“I always think that there are basically two Hulks. There’s horror movie Hulk and superhero movie Hulk. In the first film we got a taste of both and it really has to do with Banner’s attitude about who he is when he turns into the Hulk. And since the movie begins with the team together, the first thing we see is superhero Hulk, who has a level of cogency that makes him still useful and he isn’t just swatting things madly. But then, once the Scarlet Witch gets done with him, we get to see a vision of him that we have never seen before where he is completely out of control. And also clearly in a lot of pain. It was kind of beautiful to be able to go that far with him.”

Whedon mentions the legal issues surrounding a Hulk solo movie as well as that Hulk is essentially not a classic superhero comparing the Hulk to a werewolf story (interesting enough, the Gray Hulk in the comics transforms at night and is strongest during a New Moon – because of less sunlight – and weakest during the Full Moon – because of the strong reflection of the sun’s light).

“Honestly I think it’s a legal thing. I think it’s because there’s other studio rights and this and that. It’s difficult. Hulk movies are very difficult because it isn’t a classic superhero story. It is more of a werewolf story, and finding a way to thread both of those makes if difficult. But I think it has more to do with the boring issues… because they love the Hulk and they love Mark as much as I do.”

Recently, both Whedon and Ruffalo seemed to tease the future of the Hulk, with Whedon stating it’s going to be “amazing.”

“The Avengers: Age Of Ultron” has May 1, 2015 release.

Joss Whedon Still Considers Coulson Dead

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:20189:]]

Coulson Lives!

Well, not according to director Joss Whedon who was responsible for killing off Agent Phil Coulson in The Avengers movie. Speaking with the UK’s mentalfloss.com, Whedon lets it be known that Marvel TV was responsible for bringing back Coulson, but almost seems to say that the movies and TV have different continuity, and that he still considers Coulson as being dead.

Whedon says Marvel TV brought Coulson back.

A lot of people come back in The Winter Soldier. It’s a grand Marvel tradition. Bucky was supposed to die. And the Coulson thing was, I think, a little anomalous just because that really came from the television division, which is sort of considered to be its own subsection of the Marvel universe.

Whedon says for the continuity of the movies, Coulson is still considered dead:

As far as the fiction of the movies, Coulson is dead.

Says he wasn’t happy that Coulson came back as it takes away from The Avengers movie:

But I have to say, watching the first one with my kids—I had not watched the first one since it came out—and then watching it with my kids and watching Coulson die but [thinking], “Yeah, but I know that he kind of isn’t,” it did take some of the punch out of it for me. Of course, I spent a lot of time making sure he didn’t.

Whedon offers there is no reference to Coulson’s death in Avengers 2:

And at the time it seemed inoffensive, as long as it wasn’t referenced in the second movie, which it isn’t.

Whedon feels that without death or loss during these great conflicts, they don’t come off as being real or sincere:

There’s a thing where you can do that so many times and there’s nothing at stake. But it’s difficult because you’re living in franchise world—not just Marvel, but in most big films—where you can’t kill anyone, or anybody significant. And now I find myself with a huge crew of people and, although I’m not as bloodthirsty as some people like to pretend, I think it’s disingenuous to say we’re going to fight this great battle, but there’s not going to be any loss.

Whedon does offer he is fine with it and is happy to leave it up to the fans:

So my feeling in these situations with Marvel is that if somebody has to be placed on the altar and sacrificed, I’ll let you guys decide if they stay there.

“The Avengers: Age Of Ultron” has a May 1st release.

Joss Whedon & The Avengers Talk Batman Vs. Superman (Video)

With the release of the new Batman Vs. Superman trailer, Yahoo asked Joss Whedon, Chris Evans and Jeremy Renner about their thoughts on the trailer and heroes vs. heroes.

Evans and Renner haven’t seen the trailer,, but the two went on to make fun of Superman as being too powerful of a character.

“How does anyone fight Superman?” asked Evans.

With Renner adding, “I know, that’s what I don’t get. What are you going to do with a Bat-belt?”

“I feel like [Superman] would bulldoze our whole squad, they really wrote him unfairly. It’s not fair, he’s got too much,” Evans said.

Whedon did see the Batman Vs. Superman trailer and offered he can understand why hero would fight against hero and says he is really excited for the movie.

“I found [the trailer for ‘Batman v Superman’] interesting,” Whedon offered. “Because they’re bringing up a lot of issues that we bring up in Age of Ultron and I think it’s inevitable. People with power, who are good, do not always agree and it makes perfect sense for me that [Batman and Superman] would fight. And besides… Batman and Superman are gonna fight! I’m so excited! I’m so excited!”

“The Avengers 2” hits May 1st; “Batman Vs. Superman” has a March 26, 2016 release.

Watch: Avengers 2 UK Press Conference: Planet Hulk Anyone?

The Avengers 2 premiered in the US, and then a press conference was held featuring Joss Whedon, Elizabeth Olsen, Jeremy Renner, Mark Ruffalo, Robert Downey Jr., Chris Evans, Aaron Taylor-Johnson and Paul Bettany.

The cast took questions ranging from the female empowerment of Scarlet Witch and Black Widow to Joss Whedon returning to Marvel (he says he wouldn’t go far away) to a rather enigmatic response regarding the future of the Hulk from Whedon and Mark Ruffalo.

Spoiler alert for those wanting absolutely nothing to know about the movie, though specifics are not mentioned.

If you follow all the news, you realize plans for the Hulk haven’t been made known. The Hulk is the only member of the Avengers who is not confirmed for a future movie. While Whedon and Ruffalo’s response doesn’t specifically state what happens to the Hulk in the movie, it’s suggested the Hulk may be going away for a long time (due to whatever) and possibly coming back in a big way.

You can watch the Hulk question above around the 20:18 mark.

“Do you want to tell them?” Ruffalo asks Whedon.

“No. You go,” laughs Whedon.

“I can’t,” responds Ruffalo. “Sorry. Can’t.”

“It’s too amazing,” Whedon adds.

It has been long speculated by fans that Marvel may be doing a Planet Hulk film, which may eventually lead to a World War Hulk movie as well. Ruffalo also recently revealed Marvel doesn’t hold the rights to a solo Hulk film, so what exactly is going on remains to be seen (perhaps a “team” Planet Hulk movie?).

Whedon Confirms Avengers 2 Spider-Man Post-Credit Scene Is Fake (Video)

A couple of days ago saw a video hit the net claiming to be the actual Avengers 2 post-credit scene featuring Spider-Man, which has accumulated well over 1 million views on YouTube.

Now director Josh Whedon has been asked about it’s authenticity where he states it’s not real.

“Yeah, that’s not real,” Whedon says and shakes his head no in the video above. “I don’t know where that started. It is not in fact part of the movie, and I don’t know who came up with it. We want it to be clear there is no tag scene at the very, very end of the film because after sitting through forty minutes of credits, not seeing anything, we thought people would become irate. No. I don’t know where that started.”

Watch the fake Avengers 2 Spider-Man scene below.

Note: The Avengers 2 will feature a tag scene following the start of the end credts.

More Villains Than Thanos For Avengers: Infinity War Says Whedon

Marvel Avengers: Infinity War Teaser

Marvel’s Phase 3 will culminate with The Avengers: Infinity War movies where the Marvel heroes will be taking on the cosmic bad guy Thanos.

It seems following the post-credit scene in Avengers and the Thanos scenes in Guardians of the Galaxy, some fans thought the Mad Titan should have been the villain of Avengers 2.

Now a reporter for Vulture has posted an excerpt from an interview with Joss Whedon where Whedon tackles the question regarding Thanos in Avengers 2.

Whedon says Thanos was never meant to be the villain of Avengers 2, but just a puppet-master, and then would be the villain the Avengers would face off against. Whedon then goes on to state that Thanos won’t be the sole villain in Avengers: Infinity War as Whedon is “sure there’ll be plenty more [villains] in that monstrous epic.” Whedon explains his reasoning for additional villains is that “Marvel doesn’t string a story out into two movies that should’t be two movies. They’ll give you two big movies.”

Whedon’s Avengers: Age Of Ultron hits May 1st; The Avengers: Infinity War Part 1 and Part 2 have May 4, 2018 and May 3, 2019 release dates, respectively. Josh Brolin is playing Thanos.

Joss Whedon Faces $10 Million Lawsuit Over Cabin In The Woods

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:20063:]]

With The Avengers 2 set to open in only two weeks, Joss Whedon has been hit with a $10 million copyright infringement lawsuit over the 2012 movie Cabin In The Woods.

THR reports in addition to Whedon, director and co-creator Drew Goddard and Lionsgate have been named as defendants on the lawsuit.

The lawsuit was filed by Peter Joseph Gallagher who claims Whedon and Goddard infringed on his novel, The Little White Trip: A Night In The Pines, which is claimed to shared similar themes, characters and instances with the movie.

Gallagher alleges that Goddard and Whedon came to know about his book when he self-published the novel and “began grassroots efforts” to sell it on the Venice Beach boardwalk and on Santa Monica’s Third Street Promenade. “[The defendants] currently reside and operate out of Santa Monica, California, a short distance from where the Book was sold,” the lawsuit reads.

You can read the full complaint here.

Cabin In The Woods grossed about $67 million at the box office and instantly became a cult-favorite. It’s a great horror flick, if you haven’t seen it.

No Avengers 2 Post-Credit Scene Or Captain Marvel

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:19936:]]

Joss Whedon and Kevin Feige have let it be known The Avengers 2 will not have a post-credit scene.

It’s also confirmed that Captain Marvel Carol Danvers will not be appearing.

Speaking with EW.com, Whedon offered they didn’t want to top the post-credit scene from The Avengers featuring the shawarma scene.

“We all came at it separately—we don’t want to chase that,” Whedon says. “That was a jewel and a weird little quirk. “

Marvel Studios president and producer Kevin Feige does offer there will be a short epilogue scene shortly after the credits.

“There will be a tag,” Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige clarifies. That is, there will be a short, epilogue-like scene that pops up shortly after the credits start. “But there’s not a post-post-credit scene.

With Whedon continuing:

“There is nothing at the very end. And that’s not a fake-out,” Whedon says. “We want people to know so they don’t sit there for 10 minutes and then go: ‘Son of a bitch! I’ll kill them!’”

While Feige does say Captain Marvel won’t be featured, he does confirm a “secret” female character, described as one who may be familiar already.

“It’s not a big deal. But it’s a good character,”
