Avengers Age of Ultron: Joss Whedon has been digging deep in the psyche for the second time around

Writer/director Joss Whedon was able to really get inside the minds of his characters for the blockbuster Avengers: Age of Ultron

WHEN Joss Whedon returned to write and direct The Avengers’ next adventure, he decided to expand the characterisations.

“It is about finding darkness and finding their weaknesses,” says Whedon, a writer/director who rose to prominence on hit TV series, Buffy the Vampire Slayer. “They are enormously strong and they are a team, so you have to dig the knife in where you can and sort of dismantle them a little bit. It is a more personal film than the first. We have more opportunity, now that they have met and the audience has met them and understands their world, to dig into their psyches, and not everything in there is pretty.”
