Director Joss Whedon has spoken about how The Avengers next film will be better than the first.
Whedon told Total Film, “When I think of a great film, I think of something that’s either structured so perfectly like The Matrix or made so lovingly like The Godfather Part II. There was haphardness in the way it [The Avengers] comes together – not just the people, but the scenes.
“I don’t think you’d look at it and go, ‘This is a model of a perfect structure.’ You’d go, ‘This is working.’ I like it. I’m proud of it and I like its imperfections. The thing I cared most about – making a summer movie like the ones from my childhood – is the thing that I pulled off.”
Next time round however Whedon plans to do things a little differently, “I want to be clearer about how I engage the audience and where I take them. I want more control visually, more time to prep it.
“Not that I didn’t dictate every shot – I did – but there’s only so much you can do when you’re making a summer film when the ball is already rolling as fast as it was when I got in.”
He added, “Why do it again if you can’t do it better?”
Avengers: Age of Ultron is set for a May 2015 release.
Wheedon's Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D starts on RTÉ Two this Sunday night at 8pm.
