Joss Whedon to direct the ‘Avengers’ movie?
That’s what Entertainment Weekly is hinting at.
As usual, I’ll believe it when I see much more confirmation, as I’m still old enough to remember when Joss was supposed to direct Wonder Woman.
On the other hand, I’m sure he’d pass muster with Marvel’s crew pretty quickly, and Joss is known for doing well with keeping things under budget, which is always important, particularly with Marvel Studios known tendencies towards penny pinching.
It's exciting, but it also has potential for disaster, Wonder Woman movie style. From what I've read, I believe that Marvel's contracts with other studios will be up before Avengers is made. That means everything will switch to Disney control. They started this plan to have several movies leading into an Avengers movie before the deal with Disney, but the closer we get to time to make an Avengers movie, the more things could change. A bunch of new executives could step in and try to put their mark on it.Maybe not. Maybe there will be little interference. I just hope Whedon doesn't end up with a dozen new bosses he has to satisfy. I'd hate to see him stuck in development hell again.
