And you thought you could go even one day without reading something about Marvel. What started out as a possible April Fool’s Day joke is now confirmed as truth. According to the LA Times blog, Hero Complex , Marvel Studios has placed cult director Joss Whedon on the short-list to direct their super-sized super hero menagerie, The Avengers . Scheduled for 2012, the film will bring together all the Marvel heroes (Iron Man, Captain America, Thor, The Incredible Hulk) under one green-screen enhanced sky and presumably make tons of money so long as Marvel fatigue hasn’t set in by then. If seeing “short-list” and ” The Avengers ” in the same sentence seems a bit familiar, that’s probably because just last week , Clash of the Titans director Louis Leterrier said his name was on there as well. This has all the makings of a knock-down, drag-out war! After the jump, find out which director has the inside edge.
