​Joss Whedon has confirmed what we have all assumed for some time: that he will be doing no more work for Marvel Studios.

It was fairly clear that the filmmaker was burned out after his work on ​

, and - speaking at the Oxford Union - he revealed why he won\'t be directing or even consulting on any future projects in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

"You know, I was their sort of consigliere for a while... We do not discuss our thing..." said the 

"But, I sort of had my finger in all of the films in the second phase, but then I just had to concentrate only on

, and sort of know when it was done I was just going to stop.

"So I made a completely clean break - not because we had a falling out - just because I was like, \'I can\'t...\' If I was still there going, \'Well, here are my thoughts on this film\', I\'d be there every day.

​ world. Other than his \'Victorian female Batman\' comic ​
