Doctor Horrible fans rejoice! Joss Whedon recently mentioned that he has been working on the Doctor Horrible’s Sing-Along-Blog sequel (still untitled) and that several songs have already been composed for the project!

Whedon took a lot of time during his most recent interview with the New York Times to speak about the project, how much it means to him, and how he wants to make the time for it despite his heavy commitment to the upcoming Avengers film. The mere mention of this project is great news for Whedon fans who have followed any mention of a sequel since Horrible’s premier nearly three years ago. Whedon said in the interview:

We’ve got several songs near completion and we’ve got a very specific structure. We’ve just all got jobs. And it’s not like Neil, Nathan and Felicia ain’t busy either. We get together at Christmas and family occasions, and then play each other our partial songs and go, “Yup, that’s still exactly as it was the last time we played it. We’re great.”

In case you somehow missed Dr. Horrible when it came out three years ago, let me tell you a bit about it. Dr. Horrible’s Sing Along Blog is the story of a super-villain in the making. It is a geeky, musical, video blog that takes place over three parts. Since it was written during the Writers’ Strike it is full of brilliant material that is carefully executed with a meager budget. It also includes great re-use of props and costume bits from other series like Firefly and Buffy. (My favorite low-budget prop is the pair of OSHA safety goggles that Dr. Horrible wears.)

Check out one of my favorite scenes from the original, complete with Dr. Horrible making excellent use of an I-Phone to try to steal a van:
