NEW DELHI: Avengers series director Joe Russo said that his 2015 film Avengers: Age Of Ultron almost had a scene "inspired directly" by Rajinikanth's 2010 film Enthiran (Robot in Hindi). At a recent media interaction to promote Avengers: Endgame in India, Joe Russo said that they filmed a scene in Age of Ultrons, in which several Ultrons unite to form a larger version of Ultron, just like in the finale action sequence Robot when several robots combine to form one large robot. He said: "Robot almost influenced the climatic moments in Avengers: Age of Ultron," reported news agency PTI.
"In one of the final scenes all the Ultrons were suppose to form a large Ultron and Avengers were set to fight that but the sequence got cut for time. It was this close. I was inspired directly by Robot," he added.
Apart from Robot, Joe Russo said that Salman Khan's Dabangg was "interesting." Speaking to the reports, Joe Russo said: "I'm an action director so I saw Dabangg many years ago. I still have to see Dabangg 2. I thought the camera work was great in those movies. The tone and the energy is also great. So, I certainly know Salman Khan."
Joe Russo has co-directed the Avengers series with his brother Anthony Russo. The final chapter of the franchise - Avengers: Endgame - releases in India on April 26. Endgame is the sequel to Avengers: Infinity War, at the end of which supervillain Thanos (Josh Brolin) collects all five infinity stones and wipes out half the population on Earth, including half of the Avengers.
