Marvel Studio's Kevin Feige talked with MTV at this years Comic Con. When asked about the thought process behind the hiring of Joss Whedon for
The Avengers he had a few thing to say.
"I've known Joss for many years. We were looking for the right thing and he came in and met on it, as you've already heard him say on his panels. He's incredibly intelligent, he's got great things to say about it. And if you look at the directors we've worked with, we hire directors who have the potential to do great things and we want our film to be that great thing."
"Whether it's Branagh who of course has done some great things, whether it's Favreau, who did some fun movies prior to 'Iron Man,' we want to find a director that's on the verge of doing something great, as we think Joss is."
Hawksblueyes: I wasn't too excited about this decision at first. The more I hear and see about thair plans, the more at confident I am with Whedon.
