Joss Whedon

Sounds like he's doing his own origin story for the Age of Ultron, without Hank Pym. Whedon says, "We're basically taking the things from the comics for the movies that we need and can use. A lot of stuff has to fall by the wayside." My guess is that Hank Pym isn't "famous enough" for this big budget flick.

Katee is cool, but I'd rather she play Carol Danvers as Captain Marvel. Of course there is always Amber Heard...

Last week, Marvel announced their split with Edgar Wright to direct next year's Ant-Man, and the nerd world died a little that day. Avengers helmer, Joss Whedon had only this to say about the loss of the Cornetto Trilogy director from the MCU.

Whedon says "a movie has to be complete within itself; it can't just build off the first one or play variations. You know that thing in Temple of Doom where they revisit the shooting trick? … That's what you don't want. And I feel that's what all of culture is becoming — it's becoming that moment."

I guess this means I should quit making Firefly references? Better yet, maybe he should stop making Firefly references? Read more about Joss Whedon's stunning lack of self awareness on Uproxx.

Disney has just dropped the sweet, delicious news that Joss Whedon is attached to direct The Avengers 2, and that's not all -- he's returning to TV as well.

In one of the greatest cases of both having and eating cake, Papa Joss will have a guiding hand on Marvel's upcoming show based on the established Marvel Cinematic Universe.

It might be a few years before we'll have more news on either project, but it's well worth getting excited for.

Excelsior!
