In a recent interview with collider, Kevin Feige, Marvel’s
President of Production talked about surpassing the first movie, about the
script, and possible titles.
How is The Avengers 2 going to surpass The Avengers?
“Well Joss has said it on the record in the past, it’s not about
going bigger. It’s not about, ‘And this time there will be five more
explosions in this section!’ I mean certainly you want to up the ante,
you want to exceed people’s expectations, but I think there are various ways of
doing that and Iron Man 3 is a
very, very good test for us of doing exactly that. The first movie we
make after The Avengers has
our hero spending more time out of the suit than any of the other movies; that
seems potentially counterintuitive to some people, but that was exactly why we
did it. We didn’t want to say, ‘Oh now it has to be bigger and he fights
100 people in armored suits.’ Yeah the action sequences are big, there’s
more action in Iron Man 3 than
in the other two movies, but at the same time it’s a much deeper and a more
exploratory character
How about the script?
“We’ve been consistent in talking about this leading up to The Avengers: what is most interesting to us and why we hired
Joss Whedon in the first place is the interaction between the characters.
That’s more fun to us than the massive action scenes that are gonna have to
come with it that we’re gonna have to figure out, and we’re gonna have to be
clever and raise the bar, but already the scenes that Joss has of just the
characters sitting around and interacting are hilarious and are awesome and are
moving and a notch or two above the first movie, and to me that’s where you
wanna top yourself.”
Is it The Avengers 2 or will it have a different title?
“I would say that if you look at the trend of our upcoming movies, Iron Man 3 is the only one that has a
number. I like Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back, Star Wars: Return of the Jedi instead
of Star Wars 2, Star Wars 3.”
