Avengers: Age Of Ultron Boasts New Posters, Will Have Biggest Marvel Ending, Says Joss Whedon

You want a bigger Avengers: Age of Ultron, well you are going to get one. The first film uniting our band of heroes saw the partial destruction of New York City. Filmmaker Joss Whedon said the plan was not to go bigger but deeper and really dive more into the characters.

In a new interview with Yahoo! Movies UK, however, Whedon has revealed that one side effect has been that despite his intentions the sequel ended up being larger than its predecessor anyway:

“Avengers: Age of Ultron got larger than the first film. I didn’t mean for it to get larger, but the climax that I pitched was completely unhinged and nobody said no, so that’s that.”

The Avengers will battle hundreds of Ultron’s drones. Whedon said the focus is on the heroes getting proper screen time during the battle:

“I knew before I made the first film that Ultron needed be in the second one, along with Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver as well. The way I approach a story is that I find these moments by thinking, ‘You know what I need to see?’ And generally if they work, you go from there. You know they’re going to fight Ultron. You know Ultron has a tendency to build hundreds of Ultrons. So that’s going to lead you in a certain direction, but the hard work of the thing is making sure everyone feels serviced and integrated. So, in the beginning it’s fun. You’re thinking, ‘What would be fun, what would be cool?'”

How the heroes will be affected by the battle will been seen in future films.

“The whole movie is a process of changing everything and keeping everything the same. You want to hit all the things that made people love the first movie, but you also want to make something new or why are you here. I don’t want to make The Avengers again – I did that one time. With the ending it was important for me that we felt a progression. We didn’t just feel, ‘well, no problem, we cleaned that up!’ because that’s an episode of television. That’s not a film. This film, there’s more at stake and we take that seriously.”

Marvel Studios have now released three further character posters from the upcoming “Avengers: Age of Ultron”. The new one-sheets include Samuel L. Jackson’s Nick Fury, Scarlett Johansson’s Black Widow and Chris Hemsworth’s Thor.

Now that news has spread about Anthony Mackie’s Falcon appearance in the film, the actor is publicly expressing how excited he is about it.
