Avengers director Joss Whedon would've liked to helm Star Wars: Episode VII, but…
"I'm as angry as you should be," says Whedon about not being able to take on a job of that size because of his Avengers 2 commitment. Which isn't to say that he was ever actually offered the Star Wars gig anyway. But still, CNN says that "With new Star Wars movies on the horizon, Whedon was eager to see if he could be a candidate to direct." But then he remembered that he's got S.H.I.E.L.D. and Avengers 2 to worry about.
Coulson Lives! S.H.I.E.L.D. Is Not a Prequel
"When I heard that I was like, 'I wonder... no, I really can't do that. Oh, I already have a job,'" the writer-director-fanboy savior tells CNN. "I wouldn't clear the Avengers. I'm having so much fun with that sequel right now, just with the script, that I couldn't imagine not doing it."
Whedon also talks a bit in the interview about his return to TV with S.H.I.E.L.D.
"I'd forgotten how much work TV was so I'm cranky at everybody all the time," he says. "But it's really fun. We have a beautiful ensemble and we're having so much fun coming up with the stories. It really is like working at Marvel Comics, which was a dream of mine as a kid because this little book S.H.I.E.L.D. that not that many people read ... It's not as big as the movies [and] we're telling smaller stories but we get to do it more often."
As for what Whedon would like to see in new Star Wars movies, how about more Han Solo? "We all missed the Han [Solo] of [the prequels]," he says. "It got very portentous, which was justified by the story, but I think we'd all like to see a little anarchy in the mix."
