Joss Whedon

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.

Graphic Designer Adam Levermore really wants a job on Joss Whedon's upcoming S.H.I.E.L.D. TV series. He wants it so much, he made this short comedy film/job application showcasing his work.

The big news broke last night that yes, Joss Whedon is returning to TV in a big way, and not with Fox. Variety is reporting that ABC has ordered a pilot for a series based on S.H.I.E.L.D., and as soon as possible.

Because of Joss' busy schedule, he will hand off the showrunning duties to Jed Whedon and Maurissa Tancharoen Whedon, but is set to direct the pilot, as long as he has time.

It's a good day, folks. A very good day indeed.
