“Language!” One word supplies the hook for Marvel’s third MCU funniest-moments compilation, published October 19, 2026. Titled Funniest Moments from the MCU pt3 | Compilation, the video puts comedy at the center—and gives fans a reason to revisit these characters for their exchanges rather than their firepower.
Avengers: Age of Ultron offers a useful perspective on how those dynamics are written. In interviews published in 2015, writer-director Joss Whedon discussed the conversations and tensions he wanted to explore within the team.
The characters between the punches
Speaking to D23 that April, Whedon said the small moments he had yet to explore with these characters helped draw him back to the Avengers sequel. His starting point included imagining their lives beyond the fight and the conversations they had not yet shared.
What conversations have they not had? Where do they live, how do I get inside their hearts? Joss Whedon, discussing Avengers: Age of Ultron with D23 in April 2015
In an interview with RTÉ published the same month, he described the sequel as an opportunity to explore new friendships, loyalties and conflicts—and why the Avengers sometimes fail to function as a team. That offers a useful lens for revisiting their humor: an exchange can reveal friction or familiarity as well as deliver a punch line.
Funny without losing the threat
Whedon’s account of casting James Spader as Ultron makes that balance concrete. Speaking to RTÉ, he said he did not want an obvious choice for a grand robotic voice. He wanted a hypnotic delivery that could give way to sudden anger, along with the range to make Ultron funny.
He's really funny without ever taking away from the gravitas of what's around him, so I thought I'd just ring him up. Joss Whedon on James Spader, speaking to RTÉ in April 2015
