Surely the Marvel Cinematic Universe became what it is today thanks to the massive response from the fans, but nobody can deny that is owes a gigantic deal of its success to the skills and directing mastery of Joss Whedon.

Despite paving the way from MCU from “The Avengers” all the way to mid-Phase 2, the director decided it’s about time he takes a hiatus from working with Marvel Studios.

As CinemaBlend reports, here’s what Whedon had to say during a recent Q&A session: “I’ve gone off the reservation for a while. It was five years that I was working on either Avengers or S.H.I.E.L.D… That was an enormous gift they gave me.”

He continued: “They handed me several hundreds of millions of dollars and said ‘do what you do,’ which is very rare and I was very lucky. At the same time, it’s important for me not just to have my own thing and do something smaller, but also to create a new challenge for myself because I will start to repeat myself.”

In short, Joss Whedon seemingly got worn out by working on all these Marvel movies. Although they were immensely successful, becoming tired after half a decade of working on the same set of projects is understandable. Here’s hoping that whoever comes to replace Whedon won’t fail at giving us more extraordinary superhero flicks.
