The Avengers Assemble under Joss Whedon. The stars were all signed up. The fans are excited. The director talks about the real challenge in the new issue of Entertainment Weekly and how he solved it.
“I set out with a very simple problem: There is no reason for these people to be in the same movie. So that’s what my movie has to be about.”
Whedon says Steve Rogers’ awakening in modern times from Captain America: The First Avenger sets the stage for this movie and serves as the audience’s path into the story.
“So much of the movie takes place from Steve Rogers’ perspective, since he’s the guy who just woke up and sees this weird-ass world,” Whedon says. “Everyone else has been living in it.”
Although Tony Stark’s ego may not approve I think this is a great choice. I’m looking forward to seeing Cap’s ‘innocence’ and ‘wholesomeness’ interact and inspire Stark, Clint and Thor. Imagine Cap’s reaction when she first sees Black Widow!
See the heroes recruited by SHIELD to save the world from Loki from Thor (and his unrevealed secret army) on May 4th.
