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?

This is great news. :)

If Whedon is doing the SHIELD TV show, can you imagine how awesome of a job he'll do in the casting? And suddenly when the next Avengers film comes around, we won't think of the agents as just nameless red shirts anymore.

That would make me both hella nervous and super-excited about what that would add to the next film's narrative. (If he does any recycling of actors on the big screen.)
