Joss is back!  
To write and direct Avengers 2. Not a big surprise, but they just made it official. Per MTV.com, he's also going to be developing a  TV show for ABC set in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), and so far the wild speculation is as follows:


The exact specifics of that show — title, focus, cast of characters — are entirely under wraps, though it's been said that it could be "a high-concept cop show," leading many to believe that it's a S.H.I.E.L.D. focused television series.


Read the entire article here.

Eeeenteresting, no? While this is to be taken with a grain of salt for now, it still opens up all kinds of spec.

What think y'all? Got any more news to share?

That being said, if Clint and Nat hook up in Avengers 2 I'll be constantly worried about one of them dying. :P


This. I respect Joss's talent. But I don't trust him. At all. AT ALL.

I know and it makes me scared too but then I read "if Clint and Nat hook up in Avengers 2" and.....


my brain doesn't really pay attention to the rest of the sentence.

SIMPLE CREATURE AM I. ;P

Every single one of my Jossverse pairings got Joss'd. Every. Single. One.

*trembles*

I feel your pain. (Willow/Tara, Zoe/Wash *weeps*)

I can't see how they can do an avengers movie with more than 6 Avengers, so there is a (remote) possibility that they might kill off Hawkeye. :(

Goddamn Ant-Man. No one wants you.

Especially with Renner's track record for playing characters who die.

*trembles with you*

I'd start sending him letters saying 'please don't kill off my bbs or do anything else horrible to them' if I didn't think it would make it MORE likely. Bastard.

Horrible wouldn't be so bad. Horrible isn't dead. We can work with horrible. We just can't work with dead... okay, there was the whole Angel incident but let's just say we DON"T WORK WITH DEAD!
ext_36286[identity profile] allisnow.livejournal.com on August 8th, 2012 04:21 am (UTC)
LOL okay but frankly I would prefer to avoid as much horrible as possible. Joss is a conniving bastard.

I know, that's what makes it so awful! I can't even properly hate him because he's so damn good at what he does!

When I found out Avengers was a Joss project I actually came up with contenders for who was going to die :S I think my logic went something like: it has to be someone we care about, but there are plans for more Avengers films, so not an actual Avenger. My top three were Darcy, Coulson, and Pepper, although I doubted he'd kill of Pepper this soon after she'd finally hooked up with Tony because of what it would do to him before he's even got on board with the team. But yeah. JOSS.

I picked Coulson to die as well. The moment he pulled out those Cap trading cards he was a goner.

I've been wondering, though: Would Marvel allow him to kill off a main character? They all seem like really profitable properties right now....
[identity profile] workerbee73.livejournal.com on August 8th, 2012 01:10 am (UTC)
I tend to agree. I just wish they'd stop adding all these new characters to the universe. SIX IS PLENTY. I'm hoping Joss will put his foot down on that one.
ext_36286[identity profile] allisnow.livejournal.com on August 8th, 2012 02:16 am (UTC)
Word.
inkvoices: avengers:C/N sit in silence[personal profile] inkvoices on August 8th, 2012 11:11 am (UTC)
Nah, they have to add a few like Darcy, Maria, and Coulson characters so we have people we care about that he can kill off without killing off those profitable main characters. JOSS.

...I am prepared to sacrifice Ant Man.

...I too am okay with this. It's even been foreshadowed practically: ant, meet boot.

LMAO.

I approve this message. :D

Comic books are just soap operas for boys. No one ever stays dead.

I'm holding on to that thought. Very hard.

I mean, they killed off main characters in the last X-Men... but that's cause it was the last one. Right? RIGHT?

*hides*
