No CAPTAIN MARVEL And NO POST-CREDIT SCENE For AVENGERS: AGE OF ULTRON

Ever since 2008’s Iron Man concluded with a surprise scene of Samuel L. Jackson’s Nick Fury revealing to Robert Downey Jr.’s Tony Stark that he has “become part of a bigger universe,” fans of the Marvel Cinematic Universe have known to stick around to the very end for a surprise.

But this time …

Writer-director Joss Whedon says there won’t be a post-credits scene in Ultron because he felt there was no way to top the post-battle shawarma scene from the last one. “We all came at it separately—we don’t want to chase that,” Whedon says. “That was a jewel and a weird little quirk. “

“There will be a tag,” Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige clarifies. That is, there will be a short, epilogue-like scene that pops up shortly after the credits start. “But there’s not a post-post-credit scene.”

“There is nothing at the very end. And that’s not a fake-out,” Whedon says. “We want people to know so they don’t sit there for 10 minutes and then go: ‘Son of a bitch! I’ll kill them!’”

Whedon says they tried to come up with something worthy of the end-credits shot but ultimately couldn’t top shawarma. “It didn’t seem to lend itself in the same way, and we wanted to be true to what felt right,” Whedon says. “The first rule of making a sequel is take the best moments and do something else. Don’t do the Indiana Jones gun trick again differently. Just go somewhere else. Don’t try to hit the same highs, because people will sense it.”

Also, the movie, out May 1, will include many other superpowered characters seen in previous films, including a few surprises, but rumors of Captain Marvel getting an introduction are false, Feige promises. There is a secret female character, but she may be familiar already. “It’s not a big deal. But it’s a good character,” he says.

E.R.’s Linda Cardellini and Before Sunset’s Julie Delpy have been confirmed as part of the cast, although the filmmakers don’t want to reveal who they are playing yet. One thing is for certain: Someone plays the instructor to a young Black Widow, and Feige and Whedon promise that will be a powerful moment in the history of Scarlett Johansson’s character.

Here’s a recent featurette showing how far Marvel went to make this movie:

(function(d, s, id) { var js, fjs = d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0]; if (d.getElementById(id)) return; js = d.createElement(s); js.id = id; js.src = “//connect.facebook.net/en_GB/sdk.js#xfbml=1&version=v2.3”; fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js, fjs);}(document, ‘script’, ‘facebook-jssdk’));

Julie Delpy & Linda Cardellini Added To AVENGERS: AGE OF ULTRON

The eagle eyed folks over at /Film spotted Julie Delpy and Linda Cardellini on the cast list for the world premiere of Avengers: Age of Utron and have confirmed with Disney that their placement there was not a mistake. That means they’re in the movie, but why should we even care?

Well, rumour has it that Captain Marvel has been cast and will be making an appearance in the sequel, and there’s at least a very small chance that Carol Danvers will be brought to life by one of these women. They might have very minor parts like Ashley Johnson’s waitress in The Avengers of course, but this is at least worth considering. Having Carol appear here before getting her powers would make sense, though for all we know, Avengers: Age of Ultron might be her origin story!

We’ll have to wait until next week when the film starts screening to know for sure  who they are playing but it’s pretty exciting that these two awesome actresses are in the film.

For a quick refresher, Julie Delpy is best known for her starring role in Richard Linklater’s Before Trilogy. She also co-wrote several of those films and is now a director herself, with films like 2 Days in Paris. Linda Cardellini came into our lives as Lindsey Weir in Freaks and Geeks and has since appeared in the Scooby-Doo movies, on ER, Mad Men and much more.
