With rumours of Robert Downey Jr and Iron Man taking a reduced role in future Marvel movies, it has been hinted at that other characters would be brought in to fill the void he may or may not be leaving behind. In a recent interview with Yahoo, Joss Whedon has been chatting about The Avengers 2 and dropped some hints as to who the characters might be, whilst discussing the creative process behind The Avengers 2.
“I try not to think of it as topping The Avengers", Whedon said. "I try to think of this as its own movie. Sometimes yeah, I feel pressure and by the way Shane [Black] – not helping! Iron Man 3– not helping! Because I saw this and man he really got it right".
He continued: “But when you're in the story and you're dealing with these characters that you love, that everybody loves, when you've got the characters sliding in next to them it's very exciting. Then I don't feel pressure, it's like I'm reading my favourite comic.”
“It's going really well, eventually someone will explain to me that it's not and they pull me out of my bubble. I've been writing and meeting with actors and we're starting to storyboard, all the preliminary processes. This is the part where it's all still fun.”
He concludes his update on the creative process by dropping the hint as to who the new characters could be. "I've got these two characters, two of my favourite characters from the comic book, a brother-sister act. They're in the movie".
A brother-sister act seems to suggest Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch, but we guess time will tell on this one.
