Joss Whedon Spills First 'Avengers: Age Of Ultron' Details!
'Ultron' won't be based on the Marvel comic series of the same name and will have a darker tone than the original film.



SAN DIEGO — Joss Whedon could have escaped Comic-Con a hero simply by taking the stage in Hall H on Saturday and announcing the title of his next Marvel flick, "Avengers: Age of Ultron."

But on Sunday at the Con, the director decided to pull back the curtain on his plans for the superhero sequel during a chat with Marvel LIVE, and for that we salute him.

"Age of Ultron," he revealed, will start shooting in London at the end February or the beginning of March (ahead of the film's summer 2015 release date). Read on for the rest of the news Whedon revealed about the film.

'Age of Ultron' Will Not Be Based on 'Age of Ultron
"Age of Ultron," a recent Marvel event penned by Brian Michael Bendis, shot up the Amazon sales chart after Saturday's announcement. Those eager buyers might have acted a bit too swiftly.

"[That's] not the case," Whedon said of basing the movie on the book. "We're doing our own version of the origin story of Ultron....We were crafting our own version of it where [Ultron's] own origin comes more directly from the Avengers were already know about."

Hank Pym Isn't Involved
Since a) an "Ant-Man" movie is in the works, b) Ant-Man is a creator of one version of the robot Ultron, and c) Hank Pym is one alter-ego of Ant-Man, many people assumed Pym would play a role in Whedon's "Age of Ultron." Not true, said Whedon.

"The other thing is in the origin story there was Hank Pim, so a lot of people assumed he was going to be in the mix, but he's not," he said. "We're basically taking the things from the comics for the movies that we need and can use. A lot of stuff has to fall by the way side."

Ultron Was An Obvious Choice
We'll let Whedon take this one: "Ultron has been their chief villain when I read the book. He's been the Avengers villain. I was amazed anybody was surprised it was going to be him in the movie. Since before I even took the job of making the first one: 'I don't know if I want to make this movie but the second one should have Ultron in it.' "

He added of the character's physical appearance in the film, "Ultron is definitely someone who evolves, so we're going to get a couple different iterations."

Ultron Was Obvious
The script is almost done, according to Whedon — and it will likely look and feel quite different than the 2012 original.

"It's a little bit darker than the other film since Ultron's in the house," he said. "It's got a sci-fi element to it that's a little bit stronger than the other film. Getting the team together was so rousing. But seriously, keeping the team together is a completely different problem."

‘Avengers: Age Of Ultron’ Announced At Comic-Con 2013: Sequel Won’t Feature Hank Pym

We all knew it was coming. After “The Avengers” dominated the box office last year, it was all but assured that Marvel Studios would quickly push out a sequel to its blockbuster superhero team-up film. Now we know exactly what the 2015 flick will be called -- “Avengers: Age of Ultron” -- thanks to the Marvel panel at Comic-Con International: San Diego Saturday, according to MTV News.

The title may come as a bit of a surprise to some fans. At the end of “The Avengers,” fans caught a glimpse of intergalactic supervillain Thanos, and many assumed he would be the big bad guy in the next “Avengers” movie. However, it appears Thanos will show up in 2014’s spacefaring epic “Guardians of the Galaxy,” while “Avengers: Age of Ultron” will feature the genocidal robot Ultron.

Oddly enough for fans of Marvel comics, however, it seems “Avengers: Age of Ultron” will be missing one classic character: Hank Pym, Ultron’s creator. In the comics, Hank Pym (also known by his superhero names such as Ant-Man, Giant-Man and Yellowjacket) used his own brain waves to create the artificial intelligence Ultron, who went on to become one of the Avengers’ greatest foes.

Pym is so important to the Ultron mythos, in fact, that in the “Age of Ultron” comic series on which the film is based, a team of superheroes from a post-apocalyptic future go back in time to kill him, thus ensuring Ultron would never be created (it all gets very complicated here). Despite Pym’s importance in the comics, he likely won’t appear in “Avengers: Age of Ultron.”

In an interview with Gawker Media publication io9, Joss Whedon, director of “Avengers: Age of Ultron,” contended the flick doesn’t necessarily have to feature Hank Pym to make sense: “We don’t have to have him. It works very simply -- this is Marvel cinema, not Marvel comics. One thing [Marvel Studios head] Kevin Feige has a genius for is knowing what to hold onto and what to let go of. You can invoke the feeling you had and play with the characters you love and remain true to the needs of the film.” Ultimately, Whedon said, “You don’t need a Pym to create an Ultron.”

However, this doesn’t mean that Pym won’t be appearing in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. “Shaun of the Dead” director Edgar Wright has already been confirmed as the director of 2015’s “Ant-Man,” which will follow Pym as a superhero with the ability to shrink down to the size of, well, an ant. It just appears that, in this universe, Pym won’t be the father of a mass-murdering robot, which will likely do wonders for his PR.

“Avengers: Age of Ultron” is set to hit theaters in the summer of 2015.
