Joss Whedon will direct THE AVENGERS Werthead Send a noteboard - 13/04/2010 11:20:35 PM
Joss Whedon, creator of BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER, ANGEL, FIREFLY, DOLLHOUSE and DOCTOR HORRIBLE'S SING-ALONG BLOG, has been recruited by Marvel to direct THE AVENGERS movie, slated for release in 2012.

The film is the culmination of a long-term plan by Marvel, which is building up to this movie through several groundwork-laying films, such as IRON MAN, INCREDIBLE HULK, this year's IRON MAN 2, and next year's THOR and CAPTAIN AMERICA. These movies are all linked by Nick Fury (Samuel L. Jackson) showing up at some point to recruit the hero for a new team he is putting together. THE AVENGERS will see the team going into action for the first time, pairing up the respective movies' stars.

Whedon has been looking to get involved with a major superhero movie for some time, after he departed from the WONDER WOMAN project over creative differences. His last-directed film was 2005's SERENITY.
That's a lot of Big Damn Heroes

My first contact with Evans was "Not another teen movie" ironclad - 16/04/2010 12:32:36 PM 453 Views
There have also been reports that he's going to rework Zak Penn's script. Dreaded Anomaly - 14/04/2010 01:56:55 AM 437 Views
Whedon is well known as the script doctor. *NM* Bookwyrm - 14/04/2010 04:33:09 AM 177 Views

So we can look forward to three hours of nothing with an intermittent plot scattered throughout, Ghavrel - 14/04/2010 04:32:49 AM 503 Views
Hmm... MalkierKnight - 14/04/2010 04:35:30 AM 499 Views
I completely agree. I remember his run on "The Astonishing X-Men" RugbyPlayingAshaman - 15/04/2010 07:42:55 PM 535 Views
Yeah, I really didn't care for his run on Astonishing. *NM* TaskmasterJack - 15/04/2010 08:04:53 PM 175 Views

Ugh. He's a terrible director. This will be sub-par. Dan - 14/04/2010 12:58:43 PM 573 Views
That's not a combination of opinions I see often. Nate - 15/04/2010 09:44:02 AM 509 Views
Mixed feelings. What other movies, aside from Serenity, has he been involved in? Zalis - 14/04/2010 02:43:47 PM 447 Views
He wrote for a lot - including surprising things like Toy Story. Directed, not so many. *NM* Legolas - 14/04/2010 03:04:08 PM 214 Views
It could be very good. *NM* Camilla - 18/04/2010 10:13:55 AM 162 Views
