Talking to The Playlist, Joss Whedon discussed S.H.I.E.L.D. and Avengers 2:
There's been enormous progress. We are trundling along, I can't share much. And by much I mean anything. I can say that "S.H.I.E.L.D" came together in a very organic way. And part of my taking "Avengers 2" was that I'd have the opportunity to work in the Marvel universe. I didn't exactly know I'd be running a TV show five minutes later. Yeah, but it's something I really believe in. Although, "Avengers" is the top of my list of exciting new things, "S.H.I.E.L.D." is really talking to me.

Empire (via CBM) asked Tom Hiddleston if he had the desire to direct and he revealed he asked to direct Thor: The Dark World:
I did ask, half-jokingly, Kevin Feige about directing Thor 2 and he said, 'Do you have something to show me?' I said no. He said, 'If you made something and showed me, I might consider it.' But it's better for the world that he said no. It would be such a responsibility, but I think I'd enjoy it.

Speaking to Hero Complex, Patrick Stewart had this to say about X-Men: Days of Future Past:
I'm very happy to report that Bryan Singer is coming back to direct the movie. I'm very happy that my lovely friend Ian McKellen is going to be with me. I don't know anyone else who is to be involved in the project. Maybe it's just the two of us! That would be a movie! Magneto and Xavier's conversations.... I'm not being cute. That's all I know. Maybe once the holidays are over, more information will begin to come through. I have a vague idea of the time commitments, but I don't know where we're going to shoot. But I'm greatly looking forward to it.
