Joss Whedon's yet to be filmed Avengers project is highly anticipated and promises to be one of the picks of the Marvel Cinematic Universe bringing together the stars of their own films, Iron Man, Hulk, Thor, and Captain America, along with Hawkeye and other Marvel heroes. With Thor and Captain America: The First Avenger being released later this year, all of us Superhero fans have barred up at the thought of all these heroes on screen together in live-action for the first time.
Joss Whedon has a proven track record with quality genre pieces including Buffy, Angel, Firefly, Serenity, Dr. Horribles Sing-Along Blog, and Dollhouse. While these were not exactly all critical hits or money makers, they have vocal fans who fought for them and continue to fight for them, for Joss is a master story teller.
How the fuck exactly he will incorporate all these fuckers in the one piece is anybody's guess but if anyone can do it, Joss can. He's no stranger to an ensemble cast and the necessary character moments that come with such high concept ideas, but he also has a sense of humour that is hard to describe and may not fit in with these guys.
Lets get into motherfuckin' character.
He also hasn't really worked with an A-List cast since, well, Toy Story, but that was only polishing the script and he didn't have to direct the actors or put up with ego's. Who needs that shit?
The only real details that are known at the mo are that Robert Downey Jr. is Tony Stark/Iron Man, Chris Hemsworth is Thor, Chris Evans is Steve Rogers/Captain America, Sam Jackson is Nick Fury, Mark Ruffalo replaces Edward Norton as Bruce Banner/Hulk, Jeremy Renner has been cast as Clint Barton/Hawkeye and that Scarlett Johansson and Clark Gregg are set to reprise their roles from Iron Man 2. Clark Gregg also takes on a bigger role in Thor. Whatsersnatch from How I Met Your Mother has just landed a role said to be Nick Fury's sidekick but other than that? Fuck knows for now.
This one, not the one with the flute that time.
Another small detail is that Chris Hemsworth has built up that much that pretty much every other male on the planet pales in comparison and will probably never get laid again.
You can't really tell here, and that makes me feel better about myself.
