   David to All   
   Joss Opts Out of "Infinity War"

   Joss Whedon 'very doubtful' for Avengers sequel Infinity War   
      
   The feted director of the first two Avengers films rules himself out of   
   two-part sequel, saying ‘it ain’t easy’ making Marvel movies   
      
   Joss Whedon has said he is unlikely to direct the highly anticipated   
   Avengers superhero double header Infinity War for Marvel Studios.   
      
   Whedon, whose 2012 comic book epic The Avengers remains the   
   third-highest-grossing film of all time, told the new issue of Empire   
   magazine he was likely to step away following the arrival of sequel   
   Avengers: Age of Ultron in cinemas across the globe in late April and early   
   May.   
      
   “I couldn’t imagine doing this again,” said Whedon, creator of Buffy the   
   Vampire Slayer, Angel and Firefly. “It’s enormously hard, and it [would be]   
   a good five years since I created anything that was completely my own. So   
   it’s   
   very doubtful that I would take on the two-part Infinity War movie that   
   would eat up the next four years of my life.” He added: “I obviously still   
   want to be a part of the Marvel universe – I love these guys – but it   
   ain’t   
   easy. This year has been more like running three shows than any year of my   
   life. It is bonkers.”   
      
   His departure would be a huge blow for Disney-owned Marvel, though there are   
   rumors that the directors of Captain America: The Winter Soldier, Anthony   
   and Joe Russo, could take over for Infinity War. It would, however, typify   
   the studio’s collegial approach to film-making, which is rarely reliant on   
   just one director or writer.   
      
   Age of Ultron centers on the titular intelligent robot menace, which must be   
   destroyed by its creator Tony Stark (Iron Man) and fellow Avengers Thor,   
   Captain America, The Hulk, Black Widow and Hawkeye.   
      
   The two-part Infinity War double header was announced in October as part of   
   Marvel’s slate of nine new comic-book films set to debut before 2019. Due to   
   arrive in 2018 and 2019, it is based on a six-part comic book series from   
   1992, though the film’s plot is likely to differ significantly.   
      
   The film is expected to feature star-straddling bad guy Thanos, already seen   
   briefly in last year’s Guardians of the Galaxy, as its main villain.
