Joss Whedon is on the cover. JOSS WHEDON IS ON THE COVER!
We’re happy to present this week’s EW cover featuring Joss Whedon as well as Clark Gregg and Chloe Bennet from the upcoming Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.
Joss Whedon explains why Avenger’s villain, and Tumblr favorite, Loki will not appear in Avengers 2.
Oh and how he may or may not be killing off an Avenger. (Wait. What?!)
![“The first time I read [the script] I grabbed at it like Charlie Bucket snatching for a golden ticket somewhere behind the chocolate in the wrapper of a Wonka Bar.”

..and 7 seasons of Buffy for good measure.
Thanks, Joss Whedon.
Okay, so this is apparently what the alien invaders in The Avengers look like. Though the image is a little fuzzy, EW’s Anthony Breznican says it indicates that the beasties aren’t “the goblin-esque, Spock-eared Skrulls, though it’s possible they are a more savage take on the Kree, despite [Joss] Whedon’s claims that it’s not.”
All we know for sure: We have no idea what a “Skrull” or a “Kree” is. Maybe they’re Yeerks?
This week in EW: It’s our annual Entertainers of the Year issue, starring Ben Affleck, Jennifer Lawrence, Joss Whedon, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, and even more of the people you love.
Fantastic Beasts: Eddie Redmayne answers our burning questions
- James Hibberd: What’s been your favorite spell to cast as Newt?
- Eddie Redmayne: There’s one which basically stuns someone and sort of makes them kind of go almost statue-like. Shooting that, there was the most brilliant stuntman doing it, and he literally goes from fully standing to falling like a log and smacking on the ground and, I just couldn’t believe that he didn’t break his brain.
- JH: In interviews you said you were into magic as a kid. What was your favorite trick?
- ER: My favorite trick was this coloring book that you would open the pages, and the pages would be blank, then you’d then tap it with a wand, and you’d open the pages again and there would be like drawings, and then you’d tap in with a wand again and then all of the drawings would be colored in. That was my favorite trick. I bought it from a place from a place called Davenports Magic Shop and School. And it didn’t involved any skill, it was just a proper old-school trick.
- JH: Who’s the one person from the Harry Potter universe that you would like Newt to meet?
- ER: To meet in a future film? That’s really an interesting question. I think a Newt and Ron scene would be quite enjoyable. I think those guys would find each other quite intriguing. Ron and Newt would have quite a good time. I’m not sure a huge amount would be achieved.
- JH: Have you done the Pottermore house sorting yet?
- ER: You know what, I did the other day! And that would be really depressing for me to find out that like I’m not actually Hufflepuff and then it sorted me with Hufflepuff. I literally was by myself at home and I yelped with excitement that I got Hufflepuff. I was like, “the magic exists.”
