Joss Whedon says there won’t be a director’s cut of Avengers: Age of Ultron

July 14, 2015 by Luke Owen

With so much of Avengers: Age of Ultron left on the cutting room floor (according to Whedon in interviews), some fans speculated that we would see a director’s cut of the movie that would meet the director’s “true vision” of the movie. Whedon was clearly unhappy with how the movie turned out, but he has denied any plans for a Director’s Cut of Avengers: Age of Ultron.

“It has always been my ambition never to do a director’s cut of anything, and always to make the movie with the studio that we both want to make. Ultron was very complex,” Whedon told the Nerd HQ panel at San Diego Comic Con. “There was a lot of back-and-forth. My instinct is no. Just as an artist, I’m super fucking lazy and that sounds like it would be hard. I don’t think there’s interest in it, right now. You’ll see a bunch of stuff on the DVD in extras that were meant to be there. But the narrative came together very close to the way that I hoped it would, and I don’t think it needs me to constantly tweak it. I feel you put something out, and there it is. The first time I ever heard a re-mix, I was 13 and I was listening to the radio. I heard a song that had been re-mixed and it freaked me out so much that I turned off the radio and never listened to it since, literally. That is an actual truth. I felt like, ‘Wait, that was the song. You can’t do that.’ Our entire culture consists of doing exactly that, but I’m not for it. If I tell a story, I want that to be the story I told. Ultron may have some transitions that I’m not 100% on board with. It’s also one of the most ridiculously personal things I’ve ever put on screen. The fact that Marvel gave me that opportunity and supported it, I’m very happy and very proud of everybody that worked on it. I don’t feel the need to go in and fix. I feel like, there she is.”
