Joe And Anthony Russo will direct Avengers: Infinity War

It was something that was predicted months ago but now Marvel has confirmed the news. Joe And Anthony Russo are set to direct the upcoming sequels, Avengers: Infinity War Part 1 and Part 2. Joss Whedon has stated many times before that although he has loved helming both Avengers movies, the experience has left him exhausted and he wants to explore other projects of his own.

No word yet on who will write the scripts for the next installments which will premiere on April 27, 2018 and April 26, 2019. Before that, the Russos will shoot Captain America: Civil War which will arrive on cinemas on April 29 next year.  

Whedon, on the other hand, has also confirmed that there won’t be a post-credits scene in Ultron:

“There is nothing at the very end. And that’s not a fake-out. We want people to know so they don’t sit there for 10 minutes and then go: ‘Son of a bitch! I’ll kill them!’
 
The director explained the reasons behind this decision: 

“It didn’t seem to lend itself in the same way, and we wanted to be true to what felt right. The first rule of making a sequel is take the best moments and do something else. Don’t do the Indiana Jones gun trick again differently. Just go somewhere else. Don’t try to hit the same highs, because people will sense it.”

Joss Whedon Talks "Avengers" Sequel & "S.H.I.E.L.D." TV Show

  Just recently ABC announced that not only was Joss Whedon back as a writer and director for the sequel to The Avengers (set for release May of 2015) but that the mastermind behind such cult TV hits as Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Firefly was going to be involved on a new TV show as well.

 Even though Whedon won´t helm the project (he´s too busy for that), he will at least be a consultant and will direct whenever he´s available.

 “The S.H.I.E.L.D. show kind of dropped in my lap, and I love working in TV. I get to really build a show with people I really trust and love. What we’re building is entirely autonomous from The Avengers. 

 It’s gotta be a show that works for people who haven’t seen the Marvel movies. It will please Marvel fans, I think.” he told EW.

 Whedon also took the time to comment on the anticipated Avengers sequel:

 “The Avengers sequel, I’m pretty on fire with that. We’re slated to come out May of 2015. Last time [with The Avengers] we started shooting in April, which was pretty hilarious. I wanted to murder people, they wanted to murder me.”

 As if Whedon wasn´t busy as it is, reports appeared this week that the long-awaited follow-up to the 2008 made-for-Internet hit "Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog" is still in the works. 

 Are you excited for all the upcoming Whedon projects?

  After The Avengers became the blockbuster hit of the year and the third most successful movie ever, it was only a matter of time that Disney would want to ink a deal for a sequel and secure the man behind the magic, director Joss Whedon.

 Now it has been confirmed that not only Joss Whedon will write and direct the follow-up, but that the Buffy the Vampire Slayer creator will return to his television roots to develop a Marvel-themed series for ABC.

 Marvel Studios issued a statement to confirm the news:

"Joss Whedon has signed an exclusive deal with Marvel Studios for film and television through the end of June 2015. As part of that deal, Whedon will write and direct Marvel's The Avengers 2 as well as help develop a new live action series for Marvel Television at ABC. He will also contribute creatively to the next phase of Marvel's cinematic universe."

"The Cabin in the Woods" Trailer

 Now you can take a look at the trailer!


 Check it out, below!

"The Cabin in the Woods" Poster

 Not very much has been revealed about the film, Cabin in the Woods.

 Joss Whedon (Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Angel, The Avengers) co-wrote the script with his frequent collaborator, Drew Goddard (Alias, Lost, Robopocalypse), but MGM legal problems shelved the film until now.

 The official synopsis of the movie reads as follows:

 “Five friends go to a remote cabin in the woods. Bad things happen.

  If you think you know this story, think again. From fan favorites Joss Whedon and David Goddard comes The Cabin in the Woods, a mind blowing horror film that turns the genre inside out.

 Produced by Whedon and directed by Goddard from a script by both, the film stars Kristen Connolly, Chris Hemsworth, Anna Hutchinson, Frank Kranz, Jesse Williams, Richard Jenkins and Bradley Whitford.”

No further details of the plot have been revealed, but we all know that if Whedon is involved it will surely involve many twists and turns.

Robert Downey Jr. on The Avengers: "Joss Whedon is nailing it"

  Robert Downey Jr made a surprise appearance at the Hero Complex Film Festival on Sunday, where he joined Jon Fraveau.

  The actor revealed his initial thoughts on his experience so far filming the upcoming Avengers movie. 

  You can read a transcript of what he said below:

 "Well, I hate everybody. [Audience laughs] I’m not talking about the cast, I’m not talking about Joss. What I mean is I tend to look at a scene and say ‘This is absolutely impossible, we can’t shoot this, it’s horrible. I can tell you 10 other movies its been in, I refuse.’ I usually start off the morning by refusing to do what I’ve signed on to do. 

 So I brought that attitude, happily. I just thought ‘How are you gonna put all of us clowns together? He’s wearing a suit, he’s all jacked up, he’s so and so and poor Mark Ruffalo, he’s gonna out do us’. And we’re about six weeks in and I have to say Joss Whedon is nailing it. He’s so smart and so good. And it’s gonna be great. I can’t believe I just said it, I never could’ve believed this but it’s gonna be great."

 Big words! We didn´t expect any less from TV wizard Joss Whedon!

 The actor will also reprise his role of Tony Stark on the third sequel of Iron Man which is currently set for a May 3rd, 2013 release, while The Avengers will hit theaters May 4, 2012.

Marvel Claims 'Avengers' Movie Will Be Amazing

 Marvel Comics chief creative, Joe Quesada, recently spoke to Newsarama and described Joss Whedon´s upcoming Avengers movie as a project to look forward to.

 Quesada said: "I've read the screenplay and it's amazing. It's going to be the quintessential superhero movie."

 The Marvel creative had also kind words for two other upcoming film adaptations of well known comic book superheroes, Captain America and Thor.

 "I just saw the first director's cut of Captain America about a week and a half ago and there is a very visual and visceral difference to the way the two movies are shot. There's a richness to both, but very different tonally,"  he explained.

 "Captain America starts out as a period piece, whereas Thor starts out as a very fantastical piece, although both are grounded very much in the real world."

 Joss Whedon´s Avengers started shooting last month for an expected May 2012 release while Captain America and Thor are due for release later this year.

Cobie Smulders Is In For 'Avengers'

 Just recently we told you about a female role that was being cast this weekend for the anticipated Avengers movie. According to Deadline, Cobie Smulders has finally been chosen to play the role of SHIELD Agent Maria Hill in the Joss Whedon-directed movie.

 Smulders was chosen over fellow actresses Morena Baccarin, Jessica Lucas and Mary Elizabeth Winstead for the part. In the comics, Maria Hill was the ruthless interim executive director of SHIELD, who blackmailed and bullied superheroes just to get what she wants.

 For Smulders getting this part is a big deal, as this role has the option of appearing in future Marvel releases for the big screen. This is not the first time Whedon laid eyes on her, as she was presumably one of his favourite candidates for Wonder Woman back when he was helming that project.

 Do you believe Cobie Smulders is a good casting choice? Will Joss Whedon cast someone else for the character of the Wasp?

Chris Hemsworth: 'Whedon´s script for Avengers is huge'

 Actor Chris Hemsworth has recently spoken to MTV News about the highly anticipated Avengers movie which has been penned by Joss Whedon (who will also direct), and has revealed that the script is "huge".

 Hemsworth, who plays Thor, expressed his excitement after reading the screeenplay which features many of the Marvel comic book superheroes: "Everything about the story and the comic books is huge. You have these huge, big superheroes and huge, big egos crammed into one small space.

He explained: "Reading the script, it was massive. Everything about it was like, 'Oh my god.' I said to Joss [Whedon, the director], I said, 'I don't know how you're going to shoot this thing [laughs], but I'm excited to be onboard and let's give it a go'."

 Hemsworth, whose own film about Thor opens in cinemas on May 6, also spoke about the rumours that actor Jeremy Renner, who plays Hawkeye in The Avengers, will make a cameo appearance in Thor.

 "I don't know if he's in Thor. I haven't seen the cut yet, and he wasn't on set when I was there, but he may be in the final one," Hemsworth declared. "He's certainly in The Avengers. I had a chat with him at Comic-Con and he's as excited as the rest of us." 

  Considering how good and unpredictable Whedon`s scripts are, I´m definitely counting the days for the Avengers in 2012. In the meantime, what other superhero movies are you anxious about?

First Look: Captain America: The First Avenger & Thor

 Paramount Pictures has released the first high resolution pictures of the upcoming movies, Captain America: The First Avenger and Thor which will be released next summer in anticipation of the heroes reunion movie The Avengers directed by Joss Whedon.

 These two movies will set the tone of what's to come and what to expect when The Avengers is released in 3D in 2012, and by the looks of it, fans of the original comic books are in for a treat!

 I can`t wait to see how these characters interact with each other in a movie along with the Hulk, Iron Man and many more. Are you excited for what they have in store for us? Let me know in the comments!
