    Joss Whedon Directing 'The Avengers'

    DateTue, April 13, 2010

    Deadline New York reports that Marvel Studios is moving ahead with Joss Whedon as director of The Avengers. The site says he is now in final negotiations to helm the action adventure scheduled for a May 4, 2012 release.

    The film would feature many of the lead actors involved in Marvel Studios adaptations right now, including Robert Downey Jr. ("Iron Man" films), Chris Evans (Captain America), Chris Hemsworth (Thor), Samuel L. Jackson (Nick Fury) and more.

    Paramount Pictures will distribute the film, that is for now that's the plan, Disney may decide to change this before the presumed 2012 release date.

    Joss Whedon is a tv director not a movie director this could backfire badly.
