While the A-Team director, Joe Carnahan, recently shared his thoughts on making a movie adaptation of Marvel's Taskmaster, he was apparently in talks with Marvel to helm their superhero team-up, The Avengers. Carnahan confessed to MTV that he talked with Marvel and had a few interesting directions that he thinks a successful "Avengers" movie could go.




"You always wind up in conversations, and there was an 'Avengers' conversation, but it wasn't really a thorough one. I was sent the material [and] I loved it." "I think the 'Avengers' movie you make is Hulk tearing up Manhattan and the Avengers have got to go in there and shut him down," he said. "I think it's very cool."

"I think that you're going to have to very quickly get to this situation where you start to make your heroes into villains," Carnahan observed. "I think that somebody like the Hulk, it's such a great place to take him."

"[For Hulk] I think they may consider that kind of the franchise-killer, but I think something like that would be awfully interesting." "Listen - you've got Joss Whedon and he's talented as hell," he said. "I think he's going to do a fantastic job with that."



While it has yet to be announced, Firefly creator, Joss Whedon will be directing 'The Avengers', with a start-date early next year. Robert Downey Jr., Samuel L. Jackson, Chris Evans, & Chris Hemsworth all are confirmed to appear. And there are yet-to-be-announced actors/heroes including Jeremy Renner (Hurt Locker) as Hawkeye, and Scarlett Johansson as Black Widow. The movie hits the big screen May 4, 2012.
