As we all wake up, dust ourselves down and try to get over our Comic-Con hangovers, the news continues to stream in. Last thing on Saturday night Joss Whedon took to the stage in Hall H to introduce a teaser that would reveal the title of the next ‘Avengers’ movie. The 2015 released movie will hit theaters in 2015, and the following day (yesterday)m, Whedon spilled more beans about the film’s plot.
“A lot of people, because we called it Age of Ultron and there was a book called Age of Ultron recently, assumed that was the storyline we were doing which is not the case. We’re doing our own version of the origin story of Ultron. The other thing is in the origin story, there was Hank Pym, so a lot of people assumed he was going to be in the mix, but he’s not because we’re basically taking the things from the comics for the movies that we need and can use. A lot of stuff has to fall by the way side. Ultron was their chief villain when I read the book. He has been THE Avengers villain for so long, I was amazed anybody was surprised it was going to be him in a movie. But we’re sort of crafting our own version of it, where his origin comes more from The Avengers that we already know about it.”
So, not based on the original comic, but will be Whedon’s version, which is sure to raise the fans pulse rates. Whedon answered many questions in the Marvel booth yesterday, and also how much of Hawkeye we’d see in the new film.
“Part of the fun for me, definitely, this time around is writing Hawkeye, because he did get possessed pretty early by a bad guy and sort of had to walk around scowley for most of the movie last time. So now it’s nice to actually have the character there and really see him interact with the other guys.”
Whedon also confirmed that the film will shoot in London in February/March next year. Watch the entire interview below.
