Joss Whedon Officially Returning For ‘Avengers 2’

by Scott Alminiana

Not that this will surprise anyone but it is now official, Joss Whedon will write and direct Avengers 2. Disney CEO Bob Iger made the announcement today during a conference call. That wasn’t the only news he had though. He went on to say that Whedon will also help develop  the live-action drama series set within the Marvel cinematic universe that we previously reported.

With Avengers having made $1.46 billion since it’s release this news isn’t really shocking but still, THANK YOU Marvel for bringing back Whedon. His being involved with the live-action show also comes as great news. With Marvel’s catalogue of characters the possibilities are endless for this show. Looks like it’s time to get the band back together.
