Whedon: My Avengers sequel doubts

Joss Whedon came up with the story for the Avengers Assemble sequel in a London pub

Joss Whedon has revealed he had an epiphany about the Avengers Assemble sequel - in a London pub.

The filmmaker directed the successful first instalment of the Marvel superhero movie, but wasn't sure if he wanted to make a follow-up film.

He told the Co.Create website: "There's a business aspect to it and I would be disingenuous not to say that, but the question for me is, do I have another story to tell about these people?

"So we worked on the business side of it and I didn't think it was going to happen - I was like 'I'm never going to do this again.' But once they worked on the business aspect of it I thought that seems fair and cool, so the question was, Do I have another thing to say? I was in London and I went to a pub and had some fish and chips and a pint and started writing in my notebook.

"I'm writing if I was going to do this what would I say and 40 minutes later I filled the notebook. So I texted my agent and said to make the deal."

Joss joked that he was entering a "room of fear" as he approached the star-studded sequel.

"I'm so in love with that universe and the characters and they way they were played and I have so much more I want to do with them. I know I can't match the success of the first one but I can try to make a better film and that's what I'm excited about, that's the new room of fear I'm entering now," he said.

The two of you get along very well, but beware of the financial toll this relationship will take. The object of your affection likes expensive things. If you're not able to provide them with the luxuries they crave, there will be problems. Then again, you have the potential for being a good provider, so all may be well.More
