In an interview to movifone, director Joss Whedon
talked about the feeling of The Avengers 2, James Gunn’s work on Guardians Of
The Galaxy and his return to tv, with Marvel’s Agents Of S.H.I.E.L.D.
"I
enter upon Avengers 2 with
a different mindset than I did the first one," said Whedon. "I feel
like I know so well what it is that I want to accomplish, and like Much Ado, I now have a real sense of the troop I’m working with and
the strictures and the opportunities."
“I’ve
talked to [Marvel] about the story
from the beginning, and the different drafts," explained the director.
"One of the questions they asked me was ‘What do you think of James Gunn?’
And I giggled like a school girl because I was like, ‘Oh, this movie is going
to work.’"
“My
only piece of advice has been: I want to hear more of James. Let’s pull out the
formula. Give me more James. Make it weirder. The only way to achieve that Star Wars vibe is not to chase it – is to try to
be an original universe and have all the fun and do all the stuff.“
"And
James is… he’s perfect for that because even I said, ‘A raccoon?’ And James’s
thing was, ‘Here’s the deal. It’s about the raccoon. This is why I love it:
because of the raccoon and the tree.’ And I’m like, ‘Okay, that’s the guy you
need.’"
“What
attracted me to "S.H.I.E.L.D." were the gadgets. But after the
gadgets was humanity: The idea that there is an underside, a darker side, a
more human context. Phil Coulson always represented the everyman, the schlemiel
in the world of the fabulous or the mighty, gods and billionaires and legends.
And that's what the show is for, it's for those people who, as remarkable as
they may be, are not the supers, are not A-list.”
