"Joss Whedon has addressed the anxiety he suffered before and during the filming of Avengers. The writer-director said that he was made nervous by the success of Spider-Man and The Dark Knight Trilogy ahead of his own superhero debut for Marvel Studios.   &amp;quot;When Sam Raimi made Spider-Man, I was like - gah, I wanted to be the guy who got it right,&amp;quot; Whedon told The Guardian. &amp;quot;When I saw The Dark Knight I was like, &amp;#039;Oh, now it&amp;#039;s postmodern... They&amp;#039;re doing the superhero Godfather! So I guess it&amp;#039;s over and I didn&amp;#039;t get to make one...&amp;#039;&amp;quot; The Buffy the Vampire Slayer creator had previously seen his Wonder Woman film project fail in development, and had made a failed pitch for a Batman film of his own. He admitted also struggling once The Avengers had entered filming.  &amp;quot;I had one bad week where some people lost confidence in me, but I told them to shut up and got on with my work,&amp;quot; he said. Whedon acknowledged the blocks to his wildly successful Avengers film being acknowledged at the Oscars. &amp;quot;If you make a movie where you&amp;#039;re just trying to delight people, and you want them to come out overjoyed, then\u00E2\u20AC\u00A6 you&amp;#039;re f**ked,&amp;quot; he said. Whedon is currently working on the script for 2015&amp;#039;s Avengers 2. Watch Joss Whedon chat to DS about the new Star Wars below:  "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
