There have been rumblings and rumors that Joss Whedon was all set to direct the Avengers movie for Marvel, and today he made it official at the Marvel Studios panel.

“The thing I love about it is how completely counter-intuitive it is,” confessed Whedon. “These people should not be in the same room, much less the same team. The very definition of family.”

I think Whedon should do just fine with this project as he’s no stranger to ensemble tales, and this may be his chance to tell his most epic story yet.

I’m still not too sure how good an Avengers movie will be, but at least with Joss at the helm I know one thing. There will be witty banter, and someone will die.

The team has had so many different members, I wonder who will be in the movie? I’d love to see Joss kill Capt. America – but I’d also be happy with Ant-Man getting the axe. Again, I haven’t been following too closely, I wonder what the roster is? Obviously, Thor and Iron Man will be there… and there will be some S.H.I.E.L.D. stuff going on, but what’s the list?
