Joss Whedon on Scarlet Witch, Quicksilver, and Iron Man in AVENGERS 2

Writer and director Joss Whedon confirmed in a recent interview with IGN that Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver will be included in The Avengers 2 and that Tony Stark will be back for more action. During the interview, he reveals why he's including the brother and sister act in the story saying,

You know, they had a rough beginning. They’re interesting to me because they sort of represent the part of the world that wouldn’t necessarily agree with The Avengers. So they’re not there to make things easier. I’m not putting any characters in the movie that will make things easier.

He then is asked about the return of Tony Stark's Iron Man. This next quote contains spoilers for Iron Man 3, so if you haven't seen the third film yet, then you might not want to read ahead. If you have seen it, then by all means read on...

Well, I feel like in Iron Man 3, even though he said, ‘I’ve changed' -- he blew up his remote suits, but I don’t think anybody thinks he doesn’t have one anymore. The question is, if The Avengers are called, does he show up? And the answer is, ‘Yes!’

So in case you were wondering if Iron Man was going to be back for The Avengers 2 the answer is clearly yes. It's just not clear in what capacity he'll return, or even if it will be Robert Downey Jr. Those details have yet to be revealed. 

The Avengers 2 is scheduled to hit theaters May 1st, 2015.
