It’s been rumored and accepted as fact that fan favorite Joss Whedon was directing The new Avengers Movie, Now it’s Official. The announcement came during a panel at the annual mob event known as San Diego Comic Con. He responded to a question saying, “the Avengers directing job is not an official thing from Marvel but …I’m making it official RIGHT NOW!” I don’t know, I love me some Buffy and Angel, but is Whedon really up to directing a major Hollywood movie?
Whedon directed Serenity, one of the best reviewed films of 2005 – and whatever else it was, Buffy the Vampire Slayer was a superhero series – so I think he’ll be able to do a great job with The Avengers.
