In reply to GuitarRyy. Marvel IS the studio making Avengers (and all Avengers related movies) They don't need to have those properties back. It would be nice, but it would have NO impact on Avengers or any other film Marvel creates.

I’m just saying if marvel and the studio that is making the Avengers movie really want a blockbuster they have to get spiderman and xmen back. Iron Man , the Hulk, thor and captin america are great but the movie will make a lot more money if they got all the superheros in it…just saying

I love it, I think they should pick him. I put Joss Whedon up there with Jon Favreau (Iron Man). Serenity was amazing. Sure, hardly anyone went to go see it, which was sad, but still a REALLY awesome Sci-Fi action movie. Not to mention the Fire Fly series the movie came from.

Pretty much everything he does has a comic book feel to it. And like Rodney said, he’s done a good deal of actual comic book work as well. The X-Men stories he did were just OUTSTANDING! I really feel like he’s got the right heart and mind to make The Avengers movie what it should be, on all levels.

In reply to Roman. I see Nathan Fillion filling in the role of Clint Barton/ Hawkeye over Hank Pym/ Giant Man, Yellow Jacket, Ant Man, etc. I feel if they did Hank Pym his character needs to resemble more like that of Ulimates where he is egotistic and somewhat of a douchebag. Though I have no doubt in my mind that Nathan could pull off either character, I feel him playing Hawkeye would be a better choice in my opinion.

In reply to Rodney. Spiderman rights are firmly with Sony, and Spidey will not make a cameo in any Marvel film so long as Sony owns the rights. And Sony isn't going to give those up so easily.

In reply to Rodney. Spiderman perhaps can make a cameo .... Logan Lerman as Spidey perhaps?

I think my head just exploded with the hope this actually happens. If he gets the gig he needs to call Nathan Fillion to play Antman/Hank Pym dude he is snarky sarcastic. If this all happened i wouldn’t survive till the release my inner geek would have a melt down.

In reply to Lawrence. All of these directors have had discussions with other Marvel directors (not Sony or Fox franchises as they dont require to line up exactly) about their vision and direction for the films. There is a lot of crossover going on to make sure this all stays in line with each other. Joss doesn't need "help", but if he gets the gig he will make sure it lines up I am sure.

In reply to Lawrence. Why would they do that? Ghost Rider and Punisher are not at all like the Avengers in feel and tone, and neither of them are members of The Avengers.

Wonder if this forthcoming Avengers movie would include Ghost Rider and Punisher? Would be awesome if they did that.

Joss Whedon is a great choice for director for the Avengers movie.. However, it’ll be a whole lot better if the directors of the other Marvel movies, like Jon Favreau(Iron Man), Joe Johnston(Captain America), Kenneth Branagh(Thor), Louie Letterier(Incredible Hulk) and even Sam Raimi(Spiderman) and Mark Steven Johnson(Daredevil) or David S. Goyer(Blade) help out Joss Whedon in directing Avengers. More input will be better .

In reply to Geno. He was rumoured to be involved with Runaways (that would be perfect for him, in my opinion) but word has it they have given the helm to Peter Sollett for that Project.
