Joss Whedon has admitted that "The Avengers" could have been better.
During an interview with Entertainment Weekly, Whedon said that the movie was not a great 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 haphazardness in the way it 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 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," Whedon told Entertainment Weekly.
The director added that for the next film he wants to make the structure clearer and wants to have more time to plan it. He said, "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. Why do it again if you can't do it better?"
"Avengers 2: Age of Ultron is currently in pre-production and is set to star Robert Downey Jr., Mark Ruffalo, Jeremy Renner, Scarlet Johannson, Chris Evans, Chris Hemsworth and Samuel L. Jackson, with James Spader voicing Ultron.
The film will also feature two new superheroes: the Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver. However, casting has not been announced.
Disney will distribute the film on May 1, 2015.
