THE AVENGERS 2 - Whedon on Struggles in the Team

Joss Whedon keeps dropping little bits and details here and there regarding The Avengers 2. How can he not? He's constantly being asked about it! He always just says enough to make us happy, but not enough to reveal what he's really doing. 

While doing the press rounds for his indie film project Much Ado About Nothing, he talked to Vulture who asked him about the main conflict in The Avengers 2, and he ended up dropping a little story detail that gives some insight into the team's struggles in the upcoming sequel. Here's the question and answer:

What will be the main conflict this time, now that they've formed a team? Trying to stay a team? Becoming their own worst enemy? Because these are not folks who can pull off making a movie out of a Shakespeare play in twelve days.

No, they're not. And actually, that's the middle of the movie, them trying to. It's the Avengers trying to do Measure for Measure, and it doesn't go well. It's very exciting, especially in 3-D. [Laughs] The rest of it, you're right about — it was necessary to build this team, but what happens to them and to the world when they actually exist as a team? How does that work? And I have until we shoot in February to make sure that I'm right.

We've still got a long way to go until this movie is released, but it's going to be cool when we start seeing it all come together. I can't wait to see what Whedon is planning!
