'The Avengers 2': Joss Whedon Officially Set For Sequel

Image
"The Avengers 2" is happening with Joss Whedon. That's the word from Disney, as the studio confirmed Whedon will both write and direct the upcoming "Avengers" sequel during a conference call for investors on Tuesday afternoon. In a twist, Whedon will also help Marvel and ABC develop a new television series that takes place within "The Avengers" universe.

"Marvel's The Avengers" has earned over $1.46 billion around the world, with many crediting Whedon's mix of source-material reverence and sense of humor as part of the reason why.

This has been quite a year for Whedon, who has long been considered a cult presence in film and television. "The Avengers" helped the creative mind behind "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" and "Firefly" reach a whole new audience, but it didn't make him appreciate the true fans any less.

"I've had the smartest, most loyal, most passionate, most articulate group of -- I'm not even gonna say fans. I'm going with 'peeps' -- that any cult oddity such as my bad self could have dreamt of," he wrote in a letter to fans on his website. "When almost no one was watching, when people probably should have STOPPED watching, I've had three constants: my family and friends, my collaborators (often the same), and y'all."

Most interesting news - the TV show.

Also, I swear I've read that statement from Joss before.

New Mutants are an off shoot of the X-men so they might belong to Fox. Maybe they do a Shield show were they take down various C list Marvel villains. Sam Jackson does a cameo in the pilot and finale.

Fox definitely has New Mutants, as theyre actually working on possibly doing a New Mutants movie...
ugh dont get me wrong, I LOVE the X-men over anything else, New Mutants being a branch of X-kids... but Fox... ugh...

SHIELD, Heroes for Hire or Daredevil (once the rights come back to Marvel/Disney) would be their best bet for a TV show.

I could see a Captain American WW2 era TV show actually being pretty cool, if down in a say a Band of Brothers type style... short run, 1 season... showing him and Bucky's relationship...
considering the 2nd Cap movie is Winter Soldier... but i highly doubt thats what it is.

Brubaker's run on Captain America that leads to the Winter Soldier is some great comic book reading

heroes for hire was originally powerman (luke cage) and the iron fist (danny rand)

they basically hired themselves out the average man to take care of some business.

presently i think it included lukes wife, jessica jones

but i also think it has grown somewhat and has a revolving membership

Luke Cage and Iron Fist would be perfect for TV.
