Production
Development - In October 2011, producer Kevin Feige said during the New York Comic Con, "Iron Man 3 will be the first of what we sort of refer to as phase two of this saga that will culminate, God willing, in Avengers 2". In March 2012, Joss Whedon,
director of the first film, stated that he would want a sequel to be
"smaller. More personal. More painful. By being the next thing that
should happen to these characters, and not just a rehash of what seemed
to work the first time. By having a theme that is completely fresh and
organic to itself." At the premiere of The Avengers, Feige said the studio had an option for Whedon to return as director. In May 2012, after the successful release of the first film, Disney CEO Bob Iger announced a sequel was in development. Most of the film's cast members were under contract to potentially appear in the sequel; however, Robert Downey, Jr. was not, as his four picture deal with Marvel would expire after Iron Man 3.
At the 2012 San Diego Comic-Con International, Joss Whedon said he was undecided about directing, stating, "I have not come to a decision on directing Avengers 2. I am having too much fun with this [Firefly reunion] now." However in August 2012, Iger announced that Whedon would return to
write and direct the sequel and develop a Marvel television series, Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., for ABC. Later in the month, Disney set a May 1, 2015 release date. Asked about his decision to return, Whedon said "Avengers 2,
it wasn’t a tough decision. For a long time I thought, 'Well, it’s just
not going to happen.' Then when I actually started to consider it, it
became so clear that I desperately wanted to say more about these
characters, it would’ve been an easy no and it was a spectacularly easy
yes. There was no wrestling." Whedon said that they intended for the film's production to not be as rushed as the first one. In a December 2012 interview with Entertainment Weekly, Whedon stated that he had completed an outline for the film.
In February 2013 at the Jameson Dublin International Film Festival, Whedon said that death would be a theme in the sequel. In March, Whedon said that he looked to The Empire Strikes Back and The Godfather Part II as inspirations. Also in March, Mark Ruffalo, who played the Hulk in The Avengers, tweeted that he will reprise the role in the sequel.
Pre-production - In April 2013, it was reported that filming was scheduled to begin in early 2014 at Shepperton Studios in England. At the Hollywood premiere of Iron Man 3, Whedon said that he completed a draft of the script, and had started the storyboard
process and to meet with actors. Whedon also mentioned that he wrote
with Downey in mind and included a "brother/sister act" from the comic
books. Entertainment Weekly reported that Whedon was referring to Quicksilver and the Scarlet Witch, which Whedon confirmed. During an appearance on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon,
Whedon explained his rationale for including the characters in the
film: "Besides the fact that I grew up reading them, their powers are
very visually interesting," said Whedon. "One of the problems I had on
the first one was everybody basically had punchy powers...
[Quicksilver]’s got super speed. [Scarlet Witch] 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."
In May 2013, The Hollywood Reporter reported that Downey was in negotiations to extend his contract with Marvel Studios and reprise his role as Iron Man in the film, as well as a third Avengers film. Also in May, the chairman of Cape Town Film Studios said that Marvel Studios was interested in shooting the film in Cape Town, South Africa. In June 2013, Variety reported that Aaron Taylor-Johnson had entered talks to play Quicksilver, which Taylor-Johnson confirmed in a July 2013 Collider interview. Later in the same month, Downey signed on to return as Iron Man for the film and The Avengers 3. Marvel also announced that filming was expected to begin in March 2014.
At the 2013 San Diego Comic-Con International, Whedon announced the film would be titled Marvel's The Avengers: Age of Ultron. Despite the subtitle, the film is not based on the 2013 comic book miniseries Age of Ultron. Feige explained, "We came up with a few titles, but every month a new comic book appeared, and that's a great title. Age Of Ultron
is a great title. We had a few other 'Of Ultrons', but that was the
best one. So we're borrowing that title, but taking storylines from
decades of Avengers storylines." Whedon added, "We're doing our own version of the origin story of Ultron....We
were crafting our own version of it where [Ultron's] own origin comes
more directly from the Avengers we already know about. The other thing
is in the origin story there was Hank Pym (Henry Pym),
so a lot of people assumed he was going to be in the mix, but he's not.
We're basically taking the things from the comics for the movies that
we need and can use. A lot of stuff has to fall by the wayside." Whedon
also said the film would have a darker tone due to Ultron's involvement, and confirmed that Hawkeye and Black Widow would return.
