WhenAvengers: Age of Ultronhits theaters next weekend, it will be directorJoss Whedon’s lastMarvelmovie for quite some time, since the filmmaker has stated before that he wants to take a bit of a break from the MCU. Long before he helped build theMarvelCinematic Universe into the box office behemoth it is today, the filmmaker was actually set to make a Wonder Woman movie for DC back in 2005. With his future at Marvel in doubt, the director was asked in a new interview if he would consider making a movie forDC Comics, stating he “desperately” wanted to make aBatmanmovie
“Sure. I’d be like ‘I have all these joke ideas.’ And they’d be like ‘No, we don’t do that here.’ I desperately wanted to do aBatmanfilm - who doesn’t? And I wanted to do Wonder Woman. I was a Marvel kid growing up, but I was always DC-curious. And I see myself on the spectrum in between.”
Of course, Batman will return to the big screen in next year’sBatman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, which will also introduceGal GadotasWonder Womanbefore her stand alone movie hits theaters in 2017.Patty Jenkinsrecently signed on to direct theWonder Womanmovie, whichJoss Whedonreveals he will definitely see it when the movie hits theaters in two years' time.
“I don’t care who she’s seeing now. We don’t talk much. And I wish her well! I worked really hard on that movie and it meant a lot, but I don’t know if what I was trying to do would fit in with what their vision is. I’m excited to see it so I just want them to make it so I can see it!”
