Last week a few
details about Joss Whedon's Avengers: Age of Ultron came to light, among which
was how Ultron becomes the film's main antagonist.
Speaking to USA
Today, Mark Ruffalo talked about the tone of the film and what's in store for the Avengers.
"Joss
[Whedon] is in his full height of his powers. This movie is much more sprawling
and epic than the first one. They’re really in an existential, dire crisis. It
has a darker quality. The Avengers are really struggling with their own
shortcomings and the dissolution of S.H.I.E.L.D. and where they go and who they
are in the world. There’s a lot of negativity towards them."
In a separate interview with EW, Ruffalo explained what his character will be dealing with, in Age of Ultron.
"I think they set it up nicely now that
Banner’s turning 46 years old, and there comes a point where it’s like 'how
much more running can I do for myself?'"
He was then
asked how getting older changes Banner.
"Whatever you hate about yourself or you don’t
like, when you get to be 46 years old, you start to say 'okay, no.' Obviously,
you can never really get away from yourself, so you start to live with some of
the things you think are so bad," he replied. "And maybe they’re not that bad. Maybe those things are what you
need to do whatever you were never able to accomplish. I think that’s the
ticket forward for Banner, to start to figure out where we go with him, to keep
that story interesting. I think there’s a whole relationship with Banner and
Hulk that needs to be discovered. There’s a very cool thing happening: Hulk is
as afraid of Banner as Banner is afraid of Hulk."
He continued:
"It’s in the comics. But because you haven’t
really been able to get inside of Hulk’s head, because the [cinematic]
technology wasn’t available to make it nuanced enough to do that, and now it
is. So now I think there’s a way to do it. Both of these guys are obviously the
same guy, and they have got to come to peace somehow with each other. And I
think that this confrontation is building along the lines of this film."
