Marvel fanatics will be thrilled to know that the production phase of Avengers: Age of Ultron has recently been concluded.
Director Joss Whedon, has confirmed that production is indeed over for the comic book turned movie which tells the story of various superheroes under Marvel Studios that includes fan favorites such as Iron Man, Thor, Hulk, Captain America, Black Widow, and Hawkeye, this time including the supervillain robot, Ultron.
Whedon recently posted on twitter a photo of himself with the text: "Avengers Two Wrapped" and another text below that says: "WHAT THE HELL DO I DO NOW?" In another twitpic post from the Avengers 2: Age of Ultron Director, he wrote the caption: "My crew. No: the crew I got to be a part of. These (and more) people made movie and made my year."
According to a source, Whedon shared his thoughts on how Avengers 2: Age of Ultron will eventually connect to the stories of other Marvel movies namely Guardians of the Galaxy and Captain America: The Winter Soldier, where the ending scene features Captain America looking for his best friend Bucky, A.K.A The Winter Soldier.
In relation to Avengers 2: Age of Ultron and Captain America: The Winter Soldier, Whedon tells us, "The fact is, Ultron is a clear and present danger and Bucky's in the wind. We do mention the fact that that's his sort of primary thing, but he's also working with The Avengers too. We're not ignoring it, but he definitely has to deal with a mad 8 foot robot, because that's one of those things that you put it off and it just gets worse"
When asked about how The Avengers 2: Age of Ultron will be gapping bridges with The Guardians of the Galaxy in another interview, Whedon answered: "I think that both studios [Marvel and Warner/DC] have kind of different agendas, different ways of approaching the superhero genre, and the ethos of the thing, and the esthetic. They go very dark and serious and sometimes it works amazingly, and Marvel tends to be a little lighter."
He also added: "Kevin Feige has a big plan and every now and then, he'll tell me part of it if he thinks it's going to affect what I'm doing or if he thinks what I'm doing is going to affect his. But as much as possible, I try to live in my own bubble. Guardians is very much its own thing. They're not the Guardians of this galaxy; it's a different one. So, I can sort of keep them at arm's length, long enough to do my thing and then I'm sure everything is going to get mixed together because it's Marvel."
The Avengers: Age of Ultron is to debut on 24 April 2015 in UK Cinemas.
