News: Joss Whedon to assemble The Avengers



In a decision sure to split the fanboy community, Marvel has settled on Joss Whedon [JWHED] to direct The Avengers [AVNGR], the superheroes movie that will unite Iron Man, Thor, Captain America and The Hulk as well as agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. like Nick Fury and Black Widow. IESB first reported Whedon as a leading candidate for the job on April 1st, which Deadline now confirmed was no joke.  Whedonites are no doubt rejoicing at the announcement, while non-Buffyverse fans are left hating the choice.  Whedon may have successfully created and produced television series, but he has only directed one feature film, 2005's Serenity, a continuation of his cancelled TV series Firefly.  Whedon was once attached to direct Wonder Woman [WONDR] while his Goners [GONER] is stuck in development hell.  Does a writer/director with a sensibility for the small screen have the filmmaking skills to bring the gigantic scope of The Avengers to the big screen?  We will have to wait a couple of years to find out.  The Avengers has staked May 4th, 2012 as its release date.
