The Avengers officially have a director.

Yeah, I thought I had heard awhile back that Joss Whedon was the Director...good choice.

I hope this movie - if it's as good as I imagine it will be - does Iron Man level business, or higher. If Whedon is given as much freedom with it as Favreau was with IM, it should be fantastic and will hopefully make Whedon as much a commectial draw as JJ Abrahms.

Your mileage may vary if you hate Whedon's work, though. I'm a fan.

This is great news for me. I'm a huge Whedon fan. I'm even going to Whedon Fest in October.
