Whedon to Direct Avengers?!

Postby Black_Orchid » Tue Apr 13, 2010 5:56 pm

ImageWill Joss Whedon direct the upcoming Avengers movie from Marvel?!

It seems that cult favorite director Joss Whedon may be in line to direct Marvel's Avengers movie. Whedon, of course, is beloved by fans for his work on Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Firefly, Dollhouse, Dr. Horrible, and a 25 issue run on Astonishing X-Men. It is being reported in Hollywood rumor circles that Whedon is in the final stage of negotiations to direct the movie for Marvel. The Avengers movie, which is likely to tie together the Iron Man, Hulk, Thor, and Captain America movie franchises, is due out in 2012. We'll keep you updated.

Hopefully this is a rumor, I like Whedon okay but I am not sure he has any clue on how to direct a superhero movie, of course he has directed several episodes of his ensemble shows.

Jon favreau probably even had less of an idea.

But the moment a goddamn space bullet shows up, I'm getting my money back.

He's not much of a draw as a Director though, his main selling point is his writing, surely?

I wasn't. I was shocked because it's a terrible idea.

If I am creaming my parents, it isn't because of Joss Whedon. It's because of an unconventional home life.

Joss Whedon:

Knows how to do action: Check

Knows how to make characters compelling and endearing and larger than life: Check

Knows how to write amazing epic stories: Check

Yeah, I support this decision.

This is the type of thing that could keep me away from this movie.
