Kevin Feige talks 'Captain America 2's' connection to 'The Avengers: Age of Ultron'

Marvel Studios President of Production Kevin Feige is a busy man, but he frequently takes the time to talk to the media about the goings-on of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Most recently, he addressed both Captain America: The Winter Soldier and The Avengers: Age of Ultron.

In an interview with Joblo, he remarked on how the Cap sequel feeds into the Avengers sequel:

"I don't want to give too much away but it is very much a continuation of this story line and sort of going back into The Avengers fold. Steve is now torn between is he just a soldier? You know there is a scene in Winter Soldier where Anthony Mackie asks, Well what would you want to do if you are not a soldier anymore?' and part of his journey in The Avengers is to answer that question."

He also said he would love to do an Incredible Hulk 2 with Mark Ruffalo, but that's not in the plans for Phase Two. Instead, he reassures fans that Hulk and Hawkeye will make up for their absences in solo movies with "very big parts" in Age of Ultron.

Finally, he discussed who has more influence on the superhero sequel: himself or director Joss Whedon?

"Both. It really is both. The only way we can work is with a very, very intense collaboration. And I think Joss was aware of that when he signed up for us the first time. It's still the case this time. But to his credit, he hasn't said, I directed the third highest grossing movie of all time, I don't need anybody. He is very, very collaborative and he is also very, very, very good. Just like the Russo's and like James Gunn right now on Guardians of the Galaxy. We are very lucky to work with people that are so collaborative with us and can elevate our initial idea. Even to elevate something in the way that we weren't expecting. That's their job and the best of them are able to do that very, very well. There are things that Joss is doing in Age of Ultron that will be amongst the best elements that we've ever brought to the screen."
