'Avengers: Age of Ultron' Spoilers, News: Joss Whedon Explains Captain America's Last Line in Movie
Those that have seen 'Avengers: Age of Ultron,' received a nice nod to the comics in the final line of the movie.
Captain America introduces the newest additions to the team and says "Avengers," however most fans of the comic book franchises would recognize the words assemble coming after.
In a recent interview with Empire Magazine, Joss Whedon explains why Steve Rogers never got the last word out, and why it was never intended that he did. He states:
"I made sure that we never shot Chris Evans saying [the 'assemble!' of 'Avengers assemble!'] I was positive that some executive was gonna go, 'You forgot to put in the last word!' I was like, 'With my dying breath...' I don't have to say that a lot, but sometimes I'll turn to [Marvel head honcho] Kevin [Feige] and say, 'With my dying breath..."
"As much as I was like, 'We didn't get this, we didn't get this, this is sloppy, and I'm not happy with that music cue...' With all my complaints, it was in the script exactly as you see it. 'He draws breath to say the next word. Blackout.' So to know that we landed exactly where I wanted to go, however many stumbles along the way, was extremely gratifying. As was Chris Evans' reaction when I told him what we were going to do in the second movie, at the MTV movie awards, when we won for the first movie - he lost his s**t. (Laughs) It was great."
It was an interesting way to end the epic film, and Whedon being the witty director that he is just wanted to keep fans on their toes. We'll perhaps hear the Captain say the full phrase in 'Captain America: Civil War' or 'Avengers: Infinity War'."
