Whedon. Joss Whedon.
The director reveals a sequel secret about Avengers: Age of Ultron that’s very Bond…James Bond.
007 films are known for an action-packed opening then credits.
“There is a pre-credit Bondian blow-out. The James Bond theme has come up more than a few times, mainly because the locations are so beautiful and in particular the opening location is really stunning,” Whedon told Empire.
“There was a moment where there were soldiers and different kinds of people fighting them, and these guys in winter camo come up on a castle in one of those mountain resort elevators that goes side-to-side and looks like a gumball machine, and I was looking at the Italian Alps and the mist and the castle, and this weird thing rises up, full of soldiers in winter camo, and everybody was like… [singing the Bond theme]. ”
The sequel starring Earth’s Mightiest Heroes will be a globe-trotting adventure like 007’s with filming in South Korea, South Africa, Italy and England.
Avengers: Age of Ultron opens May 1.
