'The Avengers 2' : Joss Whedon Will Write And Direct 'Avengers 2

2012-08-09T10:53:00.000+01:00

Joss Whedon has agreed to write and direct a sequel to his blockbuster The Avengers.

In news that we all expected to hear eventually, admired geek auteur Joss Whedon has agreed to acknowledgment for the assured aftereffect to this summer’s better movie, The Avengers. The advertisement was made by Disney CEO Bob Iger during the company’s balance appointment alarm this morning, and admitting Iger offered no added capacity on the added Avengers cine he did acknowledgment that Whedon would accept a duke in the accessible Marvel Comics-based TV appearance planned to arise on ABC.

If your actual acknowledgment to this news is to acclamation politely, again cycle your eyes at anyone who didn’t see this coming, you’re not alone. The Avengers raked in a bluntly atrocious bulk of banknote at the box appointment (Box Appointment Mojo currently pegs the absolute at aloof beneath $1.5 billion worldwide) and back Hollywood is no best run by abstruse Communists it alone makes faculty that Disney and Marvel Studios would demand to arouse the acute pieces of that blur for a added movie. While acutely this includes The Avengers’ massive casting of superheroes, a acceptable accord of the aboriginal film’s success should be attributed to the man who both wrote and directed the flick: Joss Whedon.

Though we don’t apperceive the specifics of Whedon’s accord with Marvel, it is accepted that he will both calligraphy and absolute The Avengers 2. Likewise, admitting we apperceive annihilation about the movie’s plot, we feel safe to accept it will affection Thanos as key adversary (as prophesized by this post-credits stinger).

With so little new advice to go on, it’s appetizing to brainstorm berserk on the administration Joss Whedon will booty with this movie, so let’s do that. Given the success of Whedon’s aboriginal Avengers flick we’re activity to accept that Marvel will accord the auteur far added abandon to acquaint whatever adventure he’d like with the sequel. That, added the admittance of Thanos, and the accessible captivation of The Avengers themselves has us carefully acquisitive that The Avengers 2 will be an adjustment of Marvel’s archetypal Infinity Gauntlet saga.

Though the 1990s were article of a low point for comics as a whole, this 1991 crossover accident was a massively ballsy account featuring a actually god-like adversary aggressive the best able heroes in the Marvel cosmos en masse. It finer anchored the avant-garde angle of who and what Thanos is ahead he had still been at atomic partially apparent as a banter of DC Comics’ Darkseid since, well, that’s what he was created to be — and showed that there are foes able of giving the best able of superteams a run for their money, while additionally spinning an interesting, acute saga.

As we’ve acicular out though, an adjustment of the Infinity Gauntlet storyline would about necessarily crave abundant added Marvel characters to be alien to audiences. We accept acceptance that the flat could cull this off (especially with Whedon’s autograph chops at its disposal), but it would booty years of added blur assembly to accompany the accepted accessible up to acceleration on the all-encompassing fiction that goes into cogent this tale. Alternately the blur could comedy fast and lose with assertive artifice details, but with Marvel Studios attempting to body a anatomic blur cosmos that mirrors its banana book assize we agnosticism the admiral that be would demand to excise too much necessary information.
