   Joss Whedon Wanted SPIDER-MAN and CAPTAIN MARVEL In AVENGERS: AGE OF ULTRON   
      
   Before you read on, this article will discuss the plot of AVENGERS: AGE OF   
   ULTRON and could contain spoilers for those who have not yet watched the   
   film, so proceed at your own risk.   
      
   It’s been a rough couple of days for Joss Whedon.  The AVENGERS director   
   seemed almost bulletproof in the eyes of fanboys everywhere thanks to   
   projects like BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER and FIREFLY.  He’s a comic book   
   afficionado, and his deep understanding of Marvel lore made him a perfect   
   choice to helm the first big screen appearance of Earth’s mightiest heroes.   
   But, he seems to have fallen into a sophomore slump.  Whereas the first   
   Avengers film was met with almost unanimous praise, the newest outing –   
   AVENGERS: AGE OF ULTRON – has put the director in an uncomfortable position.   
   While the movie has proven to be divisive among fans and critics, it has   
   still earned a lot of money in just two short weeks, but it’s not without   
   controversy.   
      
   Specifically, the scene in which Black Widow reveals to Bruce Banner that   
   she is sterile as a result of her training back in Russia.  Her character   
   says the line, “you’re not the only monster in the group”.  Now, a lot of   
   women’s rights groups are angry that Whedon would use that type of   
   description, claiming that it is reductive.  This forced Whedon to leave   
   Twitter, and has apparently sent him into seclusion.  But, through press   
   tour interviews, we’re learning some more information about the film.   
      
   You may recall that early rumors suggested that CAPTAIN MARVEL would appear   
   in some sort of end-credits scene in Age Of Ultron.  Obviously, this wasn’t   
   the case, since we’ve all seen the movie and know that this cameo didn’t   
   take place.  But, according to Whedon, if he had his way, we definitely   
   would have seen her and a certain web-slinging hero that’s finally come back   
   home to Marvel:   
      
   “I said, ‘It would be great if we could just add a few more … If we could   
   have a Captain Marvel there …’ And they talked about it. And Spider-Man, we   
   could do that too, because Sony had approached us during the first movie   
   about a little integration, so I would have put both of them in, but neither   
   of the deals were made, and then they’re like, ‘We’re making a Captain   
   Marvel movie, and we’ve got Spider-Man as a property!’ I was like,   
   ‘I’ve   
   already locked my film, you fuckers. Thanks for nothing!”   
      
   Now that would have been amazing.  Anywho, Whedon has officially shut the   
   door on the Marvel Cinematic Universe for the foreseeable future.  Joe and   
   Anthony Russo will helm the third and fourth sequels, AVENGERS: INFINITY WAR   
   Parts I & II, and Whedon is moving on to other things.  SPIDER-MAN will make   
   his MCU debut in CAPTAIN AMERICA: CIVIL WAR, while CAPTAIN MARVEL will be   
   getting her own film in 2017.
