"Avengers: Age of Ultron" director Joss Whedon revealed during the recent Comic-Con that there will not be a director's cut of the film in the DVD.

"It has always been my ambition never to do a director's cut of anything, and always to make the movie with the studio that we both want to make," he told Collider in an interview.

For "Avengers: Age of Ultron," Whedon said that the narrative came together very close to what he hoped it would, so he does not feel the need to tweak it. He admitted that he feels the same way for song remixes, even though a lot of people seem to enjoy it.

"The first time I ever heard a re-mix, I was 13 and I was listening to the radio. I heard a song that had been re-mixed and it freaked me out so much that I turned off the radio and never listened to it since, literally. That is an actual truth. I felt like, 'Wait, that was the song. You can't do that,'" he said.

Whedon added that if he tells a story, he wants it to be the same and not revamped. "Avengers: Age of Ultron" might not have had some transitions that he is not completely on board with, but it is still one of the most personal things he has ever translated into the big screen.

"The fact that Marvel gave me that opportunity and supported it, I'm very happy and very proud of everybody that worked on it. I don't feel the need to go in and fix. I feel like, there she is," he said.

When asked what his favorite scene was to write in "Avengers: Age of Ultron," Whedon answered that any scene involving Natasha Romanov or Black Widow and Loki was a dream to write. He also gave credit to the actors who portrayed the characters - Scarlet Johanssen and Tom Hiddleston for delivering their lines in such a riveting way.

Whedon has formed such a deep attachment to the characters he's built up that it's hard for him to kill any of them off. He knows that certain deaths are necessary in films, but that does not make it any easier for him to write.

"I respect the people that I'm writing about, and it's hard for me to write people that I don't, so it's hard for me to write a bunch of dead bodies. But every now and then, there are certain truths that I go back to, and death comes to us all, in time," he said.
