So The Avengers film is finally coming together! We'll know more about it after Marvel's Comic-Con panels today, but for now, here's what we know.
josswhedon-1.jpg

Joss Whedon is directing the film. Zak Penn originally wrote the script but it looks like Whedon is either throwing it out or just reworking the entire thing. This is good because fuck Zak Penn.
I am still writing an outline. I am still in that stage of reworking, reworking, reworking. I will say that the thing that I love about it, the thing that made me excited to do it was just how completely counterintuitive it is. It makes no sense. These people should not even be in the same room, let alone on the same team. And that, to me, is the very definition of family.

Above is the cast for the film that has been confirmed (except for Ruffalo, more on that in a sec). You may be wondering why Jeremy Renner is up there and that's because Whedon confirmed that he'll be playing Hawkeye.

As most of you know, Ed Norton will not be coming back as Bruce Banner/Hulk. You can read the link for possible reasons why that happened, but it looks like Mark Ruffalo will be taking over instead. CONFIRMED

That's pretty much it! We don't know anything about the plot since Whedon isn't using Penn's script. Jon Favreau is an executive producer on the film so that's good and I'll update when we know more!

    Twist ending; it's actually a Firefly prequel.

    Anyway, hoping we see more of Sam Jackson in a greater capacity in this one.

    HE IS SAMUEL MOTHER FUCKING JACKSON. IF HE IS NOT KICKING SOMEBODY'S ASS, YOU ARE WASTING HIS POTENTIAL.

    I'm so sad that Nathan Fillion being Ant-Man was apparently just Whedon making a joke

    you've broken my heart, Joss

    Why do people hate him

    He made Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Angel, Firefly, and Dollhouse.

    He wrote a run on Astonishing X-Men.

    People hate him because he has a fairly distinctive writing style that gets on some peoples' nerves.

    Whedon does family-dynamic situations pretty well so that's a plus for the film. He's also going to have more resources than he's ever had (money, the other Marvel film directors, Downey Jr.) and the knowledge that this is supposed to be Marvel's biggest film.

    I'm not saying that I'm not worried, but I wouldn't be surprised if this turned out good
