Joss Whedon is "in final negotiations" to direct Marvel Studios' superhero flick The Avengers, according to a report on Deadline New York.
"Whedon has been rumored for this job for awhile, and is high on the fanboy wish-list," Deadline New York wrote. "He's an interesting choice: Despite his writing/producing TV series resume, his lone feature directing effort, Serenity, was not a hit."
Whedon — creator of fan favorite television shows Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Firefly, as well as internet sensation Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog — has also written his fair share of comic books, working on Marvel's Astonishing X-Men and Runaways and on titles related to his TV series.
What do you think: Is Whedon the right man to tackle Marvel's all-star superhero movie, which will rope in Iron Man, Captain America and Thor? Let us know your Avengers dream director in the comments below.
