Avengers: Age of Ultron Early Script Featured Captain Marvel

Captain Marvel won't be in Avengers: Age of Ultron...but she could have been.

In an interview with MTV, Feige admitted that Carol Danvers appeared in an early draft of the script, but was pulled as the movie progressed in order to make her first appearance in the Marvel Cinematic Universe somewhat more organic.

"It didn't feel like the time," Feige said. "We didn't want to introduce her fully formed, flying in a costume before you knew who she was or how she came to be."

He added that her 2018 solo film is still zeroing in on writers, "and we're very close." The casting process is still in "very early days," though.

Marvel Studios presents Avengers: Age of Ultron, the epic follow-up to the biggest Super Hero movie of all time. When Tony Stark tries to jumpstart a dormant peacekeeping program, things go awry and Earth's Mightiest Heroes, including Iron Man, Captain America, Thor, The Incredible Hulk, Black Widow and Hawkeye, are put to the ultimate test as the fate of the planet hangs in the balance. As the villainous Ultron emerges, it is up to the Avengers to stop him from enacting his terrible plans, and soon uneasy alliances and unexpected action pave the way for an epic and unique global adventure.

Marvel's Avengers: Age of Ultron stars Robert Downey Jr., who returns as Iron Man, along with Chris Evans as Captain America, Chris Hemsworth as Thor and Mark Ruffalo as The Hulk. Together with Scarlett Johansson as Black Widow and Jeremy Renner as Hawkeye, and with the additional support of Samuel L. Jackson as Nick Fury and Cobie Smulders as Agent Maria Hill, the team must reassemble to defeat James Spader as Ultron, a terrifying technological villain hell-bent on human extinction. Along the way, they confront two mysterious and powerful newcomers, Wanda Maximoff, played by Elizabeth Olsen, and Pietro Maximoff, played by Aaron Taylor-Johnson, and meet an old friend in a new form when Paul Bettany becomes Vision. Written and directed by Joss Whedon and produced by Kevin Feige, Marvel's "Avengers: Age of Ultron" is based on the ever-popular Marvel comic book series "The Avengers," first published in 1963.

Avengers: Age of Ultron hits theaters on May 1, 2015.
