15 Behind-The-Scenes Facts In Age Of Ultron That Make You Open-Mouthed
The Avengers outperformed all predictions, assisting in the MCU becoming the most successful film franchise in history. It wasn't long before the studio began work on a sequel, and Avengers: Age of Ultron was released just a few years after the original film. Fans have analyzed Age of Ultron as they have every other MCU offering, but there's always something new to discover about Earth's Mightiest Heroes and some of the incredible battle sequences they've participated in.
This is especially true when considering some of the events that took place behind the scenes. There was a lot going on in Age of Ultron that wasn't disclosed until much later, and if you figure out what those things were, you'll want to go back and rewatch it.
In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, director Joss Whedon explained the situation: "She's not going to carry groceries for the entire movie. There were no scenes cut. 'We'll make it work,' we say."
"When I watch it, I just see "flaw, flaw, flaw, compromise, laziness, mistake." The reason I set out to make another film is because I wanted to make one that was better, and I wanted to up my game as a shooter and work harder on every aspect of it and sort of give myself up to it in a way that’s hard for me because I have a family. I started as a writer in low-budget TV, and there was always this element of, "This is good enough." And with this movie, I never wanted to say, "This is good enough."
"[One] shot, some of you may know from The Searchers. I realized that I needed that moment for Cap. It’s very central to his whole theme about not being able to be home and live a normal life. I mentioned it to [producer] Jeremey Latcham, who was like, "Don’t say it!" But, as long as I don’t say anything on the DVD commentary, I should be fine and no one will know that I’m a thief"
In an interview with BBC Radio 1, Olsen said that she produces sounds when casting her powers with her hands. She had to remind herself not to make any lip motions while doing this because it would ruin the scene. "It was absolutely something I was quite self-conscious about," she admitted.
