   Joss Whedon Says 'Marvel Movie Guys' Weren't Happy About 'Agents Of   
   S.H.I.E.L.D.'   
      
   In a new interview with IGN, Whedon clarified some of the reasoning behind   
   killing off Agent Phil Coulson in the first Avengers film, only to bring him   
   back in the television show. Even though the character is technically alive   
   and well in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Coulson won't appear in Avengers:   
   Age of Ultron in order to avoid confusing moviegoers who haven't watched   
   Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.   
      
   "As far as I'm concerned in the films, yes, he's dead," Whedon said. "In   
   terms of the narrative of [The Avengers], his loss was very important. When   
   I created the television show, it was sort of on the understanding that this   
   can work and we can do it with integrity, but these Avengers movies are for   
   people to see the Avengers movies and nothing else. And it would neither   
   make sense nor be useful to say ‘Oh and by the way, remember me? I died!'"   
      
   Whedon went on to say that the television show has in general ruffled some   
   feathers with the folks at Marvel in charge of the film universe.   
      
   "I think, actually, the movie people were a little bit cross about the TV   
   show," he said. "They were sort of like, ‘Well, you can have this but not   
   this. And this but not that.' It's complicated enough as it is without me   
   adding another layer of complication. We also created a TV show called   
   S.H.I.E.L.D. right before they made a movie where they destroyed   
   S.H.I.E.L.D. So everybody's having a GREAT time!"   
      
   Sarcasm detected. Could these fights over Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. be why   
   Whedon is stepping away from the Marvel Cinematic Universe after Age of   
   Ultron? It certainly could be a contributing factor. Add in the fact that   
   he's exhausted from directing two of the biggest blockbusters of all time,   
   and it's understandable why Whedon is handing over the reigns to the   
   more-than-capable Russo brothers for Avengers: Infinity War Parts 1 and 2.   
      
   Avengers: Age of Ultron is in theaters May 1.
