While out promoting his newest movie, Much Ado About Nothing, at the Jameson Dublin International Film Festival in Dublin, director Joss Whedon was asked about The Avengers 2, the sequel to last year’s massive hit. He had some interesting tidbits.
When asked for an update on the sequel, Whedon’s response was: “I can’t do any bigger, so I’m trying to do better.” And then when a follow-up question was asked about his philosophy, his response was: “Death, Death and more Death!”
I think The Avengers blew everyone away with just how awesome it actually was. I mean, with the way Marvel was setting it up over the years and then having every one of those superheroes come together for one movie, it’s incredible that The Avengers turned out the way it did. But now the pressure is on Whedon and Co. to make the next one even “better,” which will be extremely tough.
