I know this may seem like old news, but yesterday at Entertainment Weekly’s “The Visionaries” Panel at Comic-Con Joss Whedon officially announced that he will be directing the upcoming Avengers movie. He also mentioned that the script is still in the draft and talked briefly about the challenges of bringing so many characters together who will already have their own movies already out there into one cohesive world.
Believe it or not, up until this point, Joss Whedon hadn’t been confirmed to be directing this film, but obviously there were enough leaks and so much fan excitement for the prospect that it seemed official.
But now, we can all breathe a little easier in my opinion knowing that The Avengers are in capable hands!
