Disney Announces Joss Whedon Will Return to Write and Direct 'The Avengers 2'

I would expect the show to be on some lesser known aspect. Not sure what just not the a team. Marvel is perfect for a live action show since the characters even out of costume are so interesting.

For as long as Ororo Munroe aka Storm is present, Joss gets my full support. : )

wow!!!!!!!

whoooohoooooo

OH YEAH!!!!!!!!!

I would love to be his agent who got to negotiate with Disney...easiest job in the world

Sweet - Whedon's awesome.

Yes, this!

Woooo, So glad and cant wait for the new movie

This is good news...the guy has such a good feel for the characters and how they relate to one another...gotta be honest...I don't know how he's going to top the first one.

Best movie news of the year (maybe the decade?)

Nuff Said!!!

@MrArrogant:Wow. Him doing Runaways never even crossed my mind. Marvel did do some pre-production work on a Runaways movie at one point, but it got canned in favor of other projects like the Avengers. Whedon wrote a six-issue run of Runaways that was very good. In fact, it was the series last great plot line. They would be a great team to use for a television show because they do not have much connection to the larger Marvel universe, so you could keep in close to continuity without having a mysterious absence of big named heroes. Wow, I hope they do that.

Wow, Comicvine! The headline should be the television series, not the movie. I knew Whedon was interested in doing the next film and the studio would be crazy not to bring him back, so the only questions was whether or not they could make a deal, and I had no reason to doubt they would.

On the other hand, we just heard a rumor about an Avengers television show the other day. To have that confirmed along with Whedon writing it...wow! Again, that show is the headline.

Please let the TV show be young avengers, or runaways! My brain would explode!

My excitement level for Avenger 2 just went up.

Awesome! Im really happy about this, also we know for a fact that Whedon knows how to direct one hell of a tv-show (Firefly, Buffy etc), so im also very much looking forward to that.

Yay

Brilliant

Whedon writing and directing the Avengers sequel?

HECK YES!

Whedon writing and directing the Avengers sequel?

@Mercy_ Awesome, needed to hear that!

Bet the show will be Runaways -- although I'm down for whatever! It would just be cheaper than other possibilities, closer to the high school environment that he aces, and it's a series he loved, wrote to, and then wrote for.

However, even better option would be Young Avengers, with an HQ near a school in the far future where the kids hear of their deceased parents from some mentor figure (maybe Vision, as in the animated Y.A. flick) and the flashbacks are to the ACTUAL MOVIE AVENGERS, who doing filming Joss has make little asides that become videos to their kids to be seen on their death or whatever, memories of Vision of seeing them in action, etc.

Also, I want Vision for Avengers 2!! Especially since it means bring on Ultron...!

@Mercy_: " Thats a Bingo!"

@EdwardWindsor: That GIF made me giggle...can't even lie.

Sweetness.

YEAH!!!!!!!!

YAHOO!!

Then we know the sequel will break box office records, yay!

Figured/hoping he'd return. No idea he was going to do the TV show kind of excited for it now when before I had no interest.

EEEEEEE!!!!

Yes I squealed and I am not ashamed.

That's what happens when you make a company a billion plus dollars. But this is really good news.

Well my interest in Avengers 2 rose a little more (as if i weren't already amped for it!)

@dewboy01: I hope this doesn't sound rude - but it seems likely that it would be Thanos based on what appears at the end of the film.

JOSS IS BOSS!

Excuse me while I go into FULL NERDGASM MODE!!!!

YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSS!!!!

Best thing to happen to superhero movies since the release of the first Avengers movie. :)

F*CK YEAH, this have done my day :D

This is good news...EXTREMELY GOOD NEWS!

Thank golly. Thanos - I cannot wait to see thee.

I am a little concerned though. Buffy was 7 seasons, Angel was 5, Dollhouse was 2 and Firefly was two-thirds of a season. I'm thinking this will get cancelled before it even airs. Though I do have high hopes for it. Some Marvel Knights and other street levelers hopefully with the occasional big league cameo. Maybe we can get Nathan Fillion as Hank Pym after all.
