Joss Whedon Teases Plans For 'Thanos' In AVENGERS: AGE OF ULTRON; "I F***ing Kill Them!"

Remember that shot in the Avengers: Age of Ultron trailer of Captain America's broken shield and a fallen Thor? Well, if you guessed that it was somehow Thanos related, you might want to pat yourself on the back! Hit the jump for more on that and Whedon's plan to kill the Avengers...

Joss Whedon has something of a reputation for killing off fan-favourite characters, and we've all been wondering for the past two years or so now who might end up getting taken out for good in Avengers: Age of Ultron. Talking in the latest issue of Empire Magazine, the director had this to say about his plans for Earth's Mightiest Heroes. "I f*cking kill them. All of them. I do it. Marvel don't even realise it. When they see the final cut, they'll be like, 'Omigod! What are we going to do for Phase 3? We literally have no one! Except Ant-Man!' They're going to be so pissed."

That's obviously a joke, but the magazine then goes on to discuss the scene in the Comic-Con trailer which featured Tony Stark looking at an asteroid littered with the bodies of his fellow Avengers (they also confirm that this was an illusion created by the Scarlet Witch). Are they all dead at the hands of Thanos? "I can neither confirm nor deny that it totally is." Notice the emphasis there? There you have it! Of course, if this is an illusion created by Wanda, she won't know what Thanos looks like, so we may not see him make a physical appearance. A cameo does seem likely...

"I f*cking kill them"

I know that that was a joke, but I feel this has to be addressed. It seems that in recent years, especially with Marvel, Whedon has been failing to live up to his reputation of killing the main characters. [frick]ing Phil came back, friz and whoever in AOS "died," Skye "died." I mean shit, no one's dying on Whedon's watch. I'm just sick of all the cock teasing. Stop saying you'll kill someone, and just [frick]ing do it.

Maybe IM know what Thanos looks like because Thanos briefly contacts him through Telepathy after IM hit the mothership with the nuke(and Thanos was "searching" for who/what did it)? IDK....

If she was experimented on by HYDRA using the stone at their disposal then possibly she has the ability to show you your past or your future or your worst fears. We already know she shows Cap an alternate past with Peggy Carter and she shows Tony his possible future. Natasha being forced down on the medical table is probably her worst fears and Thor in the well is his worst possible future(Ragnarok). It may be why Hulk is kicking cars at police.

Guess this movie is connected to everything in the MCU now that Thanos is in the movie.
