I can't wait for this movie to come out . . . sooooooooooo cool.
It will be sad to see Whedon go, but I'm sure Marvel will find the right people for the films. They are their big movie franchise, and who doesn't want to play with Marvel? Now if they could just get Spider-Man . . .
I'd love to see Whedon continue in his over-arching advisory role... helping determine the overall course of the franchise, picking the right writers and directors, etc... and maybe joining the Agents of SHIELD writers' room. But I agree that it's time for him to go back to his own projects. He's got a backlog of things to do, starting with Dr. Horrible II and his Wastelanders web project with Warren Ellis.
I'd definitely like to see Joss complete his contract as of A: AoU. Let's move on Marvel.

I actually could care less about Scarlet Witch. Everything about her seems boring, to me.
Quicksilver, on the other hand, I've been interested in seeing for a while. Going back to Peter David's initial days with X-Factor. He made me really understand Quicksilver with one issue.

It's so weird to me that after The Avengers came out, Whedon was being hailed as the shepherd of the MCU, and now he's seen as passe.
Most of the action in that movie was pretty average at best. The bit that stood out as good was the attack on Fury. The ending kind of sucked, with stuff like the Captain America vs Winter Soldier fight not being helped by looking like terrible green screen shots with bad CGI.
Judging by how the first movie treated the newbie Hawkeye, I'm kind of skeptical about that.
On the other hand, every time a new heroic mutant is introduced in the new movies, they disappear after 2-10 minutes of screen time, so hey, it's possible that Whedon can give Pietro more screen time.
