Joss Whedon explains why he almost didn’t direct “The Avengers 2″
There was a period of time after “The Avengers” came out where Joss Whedon was uncertain whether he’d return for “The Avengers 2.” It took about three months — and the filming of his low budget feature “Much Ado About Nothing” — to convince Whedon that “The Avengers 2″ was the right thing to do, and he’s since entered into a pretty extensive agreement with Marvel to not only direct “The Avengers 2″ but also create a TV series about S.H.I.E.L.D.
In a new interview with Co.Create, Whedon opened up about what help him back initially. Apparently a lot of it had to do with the business side of making the movie.
“There’s a business aspect to it and I would be disingenuous not to say that, but the question for me is, Do I have another story to tell about these people?” Whedon explained. “So we worked on the business side of it and I didn’t think it was going to happen–I was like ‘I’m never going to do this again.’ But once they worked on the business aspect of it I thought that seems fair and cool, so, the question was, Do I have another thing to say?”
