Joss Whedon to Direct The Avengers



Joss Whedon is in talks to direct the upcoming superhero movie The Avengers. The Marvel Comics characters will include recent movie favorites Iron Man (Robert Downey Jr.), Captain America (Chris Evans), Thor (Chris Hemsworth), and Nick Fury, S.H.I.E.L.D. leader (Samuel L. Jackson).

The Avengers is set to be released in May 2012. Before it comes out, we will see these superheroes in their own movies: Iron Man 2 comes out April 30, The First Avenger: Captain America opens July 2011, and Thor starts in May 2011.

Whedon is known for his great TV shows, both long running and prematurely canceled. It will be great to see what he can do on the big screen, especially with such an all-star cast.
