Joss is so talented. this is good news!
He’s only ever directed one movie [Serenity], but that was a good movie. It might be best to take a director who’s done more feature films but I think he’ll do a good job anyway.
Jon Favreau would have been my choice. Iron Man was great and the sequel looks to be just as good.
I miss Buffy!
He sucks! Not a good director, even worse writer, Alien Ressurection. He shouldn’t be allowed to direct traffic.
@lexy hates bilson:
i agree with you, he’s very creative and of course talented. buffy the vampire slayer was an awesome show. so yeah whatever joss has in store for us will be a success.
I will definitely take this. He’s done some great stuff.
yay, a comic book fan making a comic book movie. It’ll be great.
i love to see more of Joss Whedon’s work. I think he’s really talented and have a very wicked sense of humor.
Joss may have done one movie but he has directed many episodes of His shows.Plus he writes comics….
It’s a no brainer he’s going to be great…..
@Dread not:
He didn’t direct that movie so your point is invalid,and stupid but i think you already knew that, Troll.
I absolutely love Joss’s work and he has never let me down.
I still get up early to watch Angel episodes.
However I am not sure about him being the director of this.
He has not let me down so far, so what the hell.
Bring back Dollhouse ….and Buffy and Angel…
Fiction is so much better with him.
I absolutely loved Buffy so am interested to see what he will do with the Avengers. Two thumbs up from me.
OMG OMG OMG! This will be amazing.
great director
YES. He is one of the best writers to ever touch the X-Men.
He will rock. This is wonderful, wonderful news. I have missed his work.
i luvs him
Hell Yay! Joss is a GOD.
@Nick C:
Uh, dumbass, did you see it says “even worse writer”. The very fact that you think his stuff is great pretty much shows where your head is at; how’s the smell up there? What are you 12? Oh it’s “a no brainer” alright. As long as twelve year olds like you are runnin’ around with their parents money to blow on God awful $hit, Joss will be okay. And if you’re older than 12, save yourself the embarrassment and don’t fess up to your real age. BTVS and Angel are the bestess TV shows in the whole-wide-world! And Firefly was a sci-fi masterpiece! Ridley Scott, and James Cameron probably crap themselves laughing at Joss Whedon’s “work”. Now go eat some Hot Pockets, and wait with baited breath for, The Avengers.
