Avengers 2: No Guardians Or Loki

Doing press for Much Ado About Nothing  writer/director Joss Whedon tells Bleeding Cool that there are no plans to crossover the "Guardians of the Galaxy" and "The Avengers 2".

Production on "The Avengers 2" kicks off at Shepperton Studios across the pond once 'Guardians' wraps.

Whedon says: "We're following Guardians at Shepperton, but we won't be swapping cast members. Every movie is its own thing, and has to be."

He then added that the Guardians are not in the sequel "unless I take a lot of peyote and write a very different draft... and I'm not ruling that out!"

Joss then talked to Empire, and confirmed that The Avengers villain--Tom Hiddleston's Loki - won't show up in the sequel at all, not even for a cameo.

"...First of all, imitating what I did before is the surest way to do it not as well. Second of all, Loki's not there to say those terrible things. Although I do think we should bring the word back, not as an insult, it's just a nice word."

Whedon has confirmed that Thanos will appear in the sequel, but is not the main villain
