As Joss Whedon is want to do, yesterday he stopped in on his most loyal of fan sites, Whedonesque and in his own quirky fashion, he let us know that he is starting filming on The Avengers today.
Hi Pumpkins, joss here.
Tomorrow we start shooting (I THINK I’m legally permitted to say that). Day one. That’s right. We’ll be shooting the pivotal death/betrayal/product placement/setting up the sequel/coming out scene, at the following address:
[Marvel Lawyers rush in, take Joss’s keyboard, blowtorch a picture of his family like in “Stormy Monday”, drink his milkshake, leave the seat up, fluff his pillows, violently unfluff his pillows, leave]
Went too far. My bad. Anyhoo, it should be a fun day, followed by the eighty thousand other fun days it will take to finish this. I’ll be checking in from time to time, if there’s news or I crave attention (i.e. am awake) . None of it will be Avengers news — I have some very denty pillows to remind of that — but I may have tidbits. (They’re not about Firefly. I should say that up front, if only to protect Sis Mo from the HATORZ.)
I love how Joss never just says he is starting filming. I love that about him.
I am just excited to see this happen.
Let the photos, posts,conspiracy theories,leaked scripts begin!
The followers are ready.
(this day should be a national holiday!)

Hahahaha, I teared up from laughing at that second paragraph.
I love Joss Whedon and I have the utmost confidence that he’s gonna do an awesome job here.
Summer of 2012 is too far away!!
I am very excited about this.
