The Avengers 2 director Joss Whedon was a guest on American talk show “Late Night with Jimmy Fallon” on May 24 and Fallon talks about upcoming 2015 American superhero film.
He asked if there will be new characters in The Avengers 2 and Whedon replied: “There are new characters.
I’ve already said that we’re going to have a brother-sister team, the Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver, who were great mainstays of The Avengers when I was reading the comics as a kid.”
Fallon also asked whether they had started casting them yet. Whedon said, “Not yet, we’re doing that now.”
Whedon said he is writing the sequel now and then when he was asked why he picked the two characters. To that he said, “Well, besides the fact that I grew up reading them, their powers are very visually interesting.
One of the problems I had on the first one was, everybody basically had punchy powers. ‘I can hit,’ ‘I can also hit.’ Hopefully it didn’t get too boring. But coming into the second one, he’s got super speed.
She can weave spells and a little telekinesis, get inside your head. There’s good stuff that they can do that will help sort of keep it fresh.”
