Every geek knows what ‘The Avengers’ are. For those who don’t know they are a combination of Marvel superheroes including Captain America, Thor, Iron Man, The Hulk, and Ant-Man. Likewise, every geek knows who Joss Whedon is. And again for those of you with lives, he is creator of cult tv shows like Firefly, Doll House, and of course Buffy the Vampire Slayer.
Well every geek in the world will be passing out when they hear the IESB exclusive. Joss Whedon is being named the leader of contenders in a short list of directors to make The Avengers movie. The only other name known is Louis Leterrier who did The Incredible Hulk and most recently Clash of the Titans. There is no question who should get this. Whedon would be beyond perfect.
Then again, such perfect news lands suspiciously on what could be the cruelest day of the year if this all turns out to be fake.
Can you think of a better director other than Joss Whedon to direct The Avengers?
