Joss Whedon's unhinged ending for Age of Ultron



Joss Whedon exclusively talked to YAHOO! about his highly-anticipated Avengers sequel. Age of Ultron. And teased about its completely unhinged ending.

“[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 … 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?’

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.”

The trailers suggest a darker second act, much like The Empire Strikes Back, ending with our beloved Marvel heroes beaten and scattered...

I'm super stoked for this sequel. However, excuse me whilst I go and build the brand new The Hulk Buster Smash by LEGO.
