Joss Whedon Reveals Movies & Plans After Marvel Cinematic Universe, 'Avengers: Age Of Ultron" - Is 2015 The Director's Final Year With Studio?

For some reason, filmmaker Joss Whedon is on the verge of burning bridges with Marvel after a recent interview with Buzzfeed revealed new details on how the director views the studio. After calling the Cinematic Universe films "sexist" and revealing he won't direct the next Avengers film after 2015's Age of Ultron, Whedon this week revealed that his future plans for movies involve his own "cinematic universe," based off of original ideas.

Considering Whedon hasn't been saying the nicest things about the studio that he has been involved with for quite some time, where will he go from here? He has had a cult following for most of his career, so the Marvel experience has surely just added to that. Basically, we feel that Whedon can do whatever he'd like after the release of Avengers: Age of Ultron on May 1, so what is he looking to do?

"[T]he biggest thing for me is that I need to do something that I create myself. It's been way too long since I created a universe," the director revealed in the increasingly infamous Buzzfeed interview, according to Slash Film. "The last thing I did before The Avengers was [directing an episode of] Glee, and in between I did Much Ado About Nothing. So I haven't created my own universe for over five years. That feels wrong. You know, my own universe might be a book of haiku. I'm not necessarily saying I've got a grand scheme."

Whedon went on to explain his ideal plan for his own "universe."

"I will say that when I was thinking about, Well, if I wasn't going to do Avengers 2, what would I want to do? - of course the first thing I thought of was 'turn-of-the-century female Batman.' Not Batman actually. But, you know, something cool," he explained. "One person. Can't stress that enough. Movie about one person - not a team, not 10, just one."
