Avengers: Age Of Ultron is in cinemas now in the US and UK (ę¾³ę“²å¹øčæ5å¼å„å·ē åå²ę„čÆ¢:here's our review!) and Total Film had the opportunity to sit down with Joss Whedoā±n to discuss the epic superhero sequel.
Unless you've been living under a rock for the last few years, you'll know the score with Avengers 2.

The team face a threat worthy of their combined powers after Tony Stark inadvertently unleashes a megalomaniacal AI, Ultron (James Spader), originally designed to help the Avengers and ease their world-saving load. Also in the mix are newcomers Pietro and Wanda Maximoff (Aaron Taylor-Johnson and Elizabeth Olsen), AKA Quicksilver and Scarleą¼ŗtt Witch, superpowered twins with vengeance on their minds.
