"I did, I did," said Wright when asked if he had indeed met with Whedon. "We actually met at Marvel. I was having a meeting and then he was having the next meeting. We met and then we got together for a drink after that."

Cracking under the pressure from an MTV journalist asking what the details of the meeting were, Wright responded:

"Alright, we're having sex together," joked Wright. "We're having an affair. Me and Joss Whedon are totally f---ing."

Creepy! But all BS aside Wright went on to give props to Whedon:

"His ensemble work is really great," the director said of Whedon. "I think he's doing stuff on the script as well. I wouldn't even know where to start with 'The Avengers.' It's too ambitious for me."

Many thanks to MTV for providing the video!

Well it goes without saying that these two would have to meet. One or the other or both will be casting Pym.

Nice Find, Jman.

This guy is very weird. But yeah, its obvious they're casting for both "Avengers" & "Ant-Man".

HE MUST NOT DIRECT THE AVENGERS!!!! ITS NOT HIS AREA OF EXPERTISE!!!!! I keep saying it and I will say it all the time...if Whedon directs this, he will be a puppet director and Marvel will have all the creative control over the film...he only knows how to handle female characters and all his shows suck...there I said it, seriously he made a stupid cult film into a stupid cult series. It probably didn't help that his shows were on FOX and they purposely ruined one while the other slowly withered away and died...we need an EXPERIENCED director for the Avengers, I think Jon Turtletaub should do it, he makes good movies, Sorcerer's Apprentice looks really good

I'm not overly fond of Whedon but I'm starting to beleive he's the man for the job. Everything and I do mean everything he has done has involved handling many characters at once. With Favs and all the other pre- Avenger directors co-producing as was the plan a while back, the action will be out of this world.

black@ first off his tv shows are great not crap. my opinion ofcourse, but most fans and critics agree. 2nd, he can write male characters. both Angel and Firefly were male character shows. and they were, dare i say, better than buffy. now im not saying hes gonna do great with avengers, but to say he and all his work is basically crap, i just have to disagree with you there.

Whedon is good at juggling multiple characters, which is a very necessary skill for the avengers. I think he might do a better job if he is not in full creative control and he has a character history to work with already in place. He is to in love with characters he creates and exploration of them keeps him away from action. Also, he usually doesn't have a budget, so we don't know how he'll handle it.

I have faith in Marvel that the Avengers will be epic and possibly the greatest super hero movie ever and Whedon is a great story writer I think he will do great.

Great find jman! :) Edgar Wright is a bloody genius - I loved Shaun of the Dead and Hot Fuzz while Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World looks amazing! I cant think of anyone better than this guy to direct an Ant-Man movie!

Same goes with Joss Whedon...he's a great choice to direct The Avengers and I've thought so since day one. Pretty much everyone except Marvel have attached him to the movie but I'm guesssing he'll be made official at ComicCon!

Nathan Fillion can't be everyone. Stop trying to cast this crappy TV actor for every film role ever.
superdog
superdog - 6/21/2010, 9:40 AM
hes not a crappy actor, but i agree shouldnt be every role. much like bradley cooper. lee77 gets crushes on guys then touts them for everything. that just his style :)

JoshWilding - 6/21/2010, 9:44 AM
I'm with LEE on this one - Nathan Fillion would make a brilliant Hank Pym! :)

Oh man, I want to marry Edgar Wright! :') And I agree about Whedon managing ensemble casts perfectly so... I don't know, this could be good.

Love Edgar Wright, love Fillion, winning combo IMO! But Antman isn't a part of the winning recipe. his concept lacks for a full feature film alone. Whedon i'm not so sure about. I hated Angel, and thought Buffy was meh except for certain episodes. He could pull it off with the best team behind him. As long as it doesn't become Whedon's one man job/dream a la Singer/SR, we should be fine.

Kev- Then he must die a horrible painful death for ever letting someone find out. Our club is secret.

I swear I don't understand where the Whedon hate comes from.

I mean I am not going out on any limbs here.... Who knows if the movie will be good or not? Not me.
But I think it's pretty obvious that Whedon has at least some talent.

Juggernaut- He's certainly not the worst choice out there. We're lucky they're not hiring Ratner.

people hate Whedon???? I didn't think that was possible, I mean come on did Astonishing X-Men and I think it was one of the best X-Men runs in a along time. (at that time possibly even still)

@ TABOO13 : That's right, and you know why? Because girls are strong too. That's a very good thing.

Mass media should NOT be so damn patriarchal

@ Shaman: Oh god... the very thought of that guy getting his filthy Rat claws into The Avengers movie makes my stomach turn. This is a guy that said that people who don't like his movies have no life. What a scum bag
