Joss Whedon Reviews, Interviews & More

The rumor mill has been going crazy as of late. We're not entirely sure what is going on with the cast of characters for The Avengers 2 other than knowing that most of the regulars will be returning for the sequel. Now Joss Whedon has spoken up, saying that we may see a couple of new X-Men centric faces including another familiar one which many fans at this point...

Earlier this week, we saw the first teaser trailer for Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., the ABC TV series that will expand the Marvel Cinematic Universe into the realm of the small screen, and feature Agent Coulson teaming up with a ragtag band of misfits who will eventually become a family while battling evil, because that’s what happens in almost every Joss Whedon-led project. ...

Ever since Iron Man 3 came out in theaters, there's been a number of rumors floating around saying that we may not have the same actors playing a couple of our favorite Marvel characters in their upcoming films. Fans have been panicking over the possibility that Tony Stark and company could be played by different people, but maybe that won't be in our immediate future like some have...

A lot is happening very quickly in the world of Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., Marvel’s mouthful of a new TV series/ small screen expansion of the Marvel Cinematic Universe.  First: Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. has been unsurprisingly picked up by ABC to air this fall.  Moreover, we now have an official cast picture and insignia (see above); and even more...

Because Joss Whedon has cautiously let the entire world know that X-Men and sometimes Avengers comic book characters Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver will be appearing in The Avengers 2 (rather, they’re in the current draft, at least), it’s now time to let the rampant speculation begin as to who will take the role of the two new Avengers—because simply waiting to find out when the...

Last month, we reported that Joss Whedon, when discussing his newest draft for The Avengers 2 script, stated that “I’ve got these two characters, two of my favorite characters from the comic book, a brother-sister act.  They’re in the movie.”  Many (including us) speculated that this was a reference to Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch, a mutant brother and sister due who, while...

Now that we're officially in Phase 2 of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, plenty of fans have been chattering away over how Marvel and company could possibly top what they did in The Avengers. Then again, fans like myself won't really question how Joss Whedon will be able to outdo himself since he delivered so well the last time. We know who The Avengers will face next. Actually, will...

After promising that “awful things” will happen to the Iron Man, Captain America, Thor, the Hulk, Black Widow and Hawkeye during an interview about The Avengers 2 earlier this month, Joss Whedon has let even more details slip about his upcoming superhero sequel to one of the most financially successful films of all time.  Want some spoiler-y information because you just can’t...

Anyone who has enjoyed Joss Whedon’s best work (Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Firefly/ Serenity) knows that, despite the fact that he genuinely seems to love and care about his characters, always instilling them with humanity and integrity, he also never shies away from exposing their faults and allowing truly, truly ugly and terrible things to...

As Joss Whedon and Marvel’s dominion over pop culture continues to expand, it only makes sense that they would eventually move into the world of television.  As such, we’ve all been waiting to see Joss Whedon’s S.H.I.E.L.D., the small screen expansion of the Marvel film universe that focuses on the human agents of the U.S. government who are forced to deal with...

Yesterday, we received a small concept-art peek into the world of Marvel’s “Phase Two” (you know, Iron Man 3, Thor: The Dark World, Captain America: The Winter Soldier, Guardians of the Galaxy, Ant-Man, and The Avengers 2).  Today, Marvel has gone full tilt boogie and released a video preview of Iron Man 3, along with...

Phase 2 of Marvel Studios' highly anticipated series of movies is about to begin in little over a month. The thought of that makes many of us, including myself, want to bounce up and down in our seat with excitement. Marvel already hit it out of the park the first time around with their first series of stellar films. Now we're getting a small first look at what we should expect to see from...

Marvel's movie universe has been constantly expanding within the past couple of years. They've brought us out to space, connected several of our favorite superheroes together and successfully have gone through their Phase 1 of their movie franchise. Now they're in the thick of Phase 2 that begins with Iron Man 3. While most of the world has to wait...

Earlier this week, we reported that the creator of the cult (and cancelled) TV series Veronica Mars was launching a Kickstarter to possibly fund a Veronica Mars spin-off film—the goal was to raise $2 million in 30 days which, if accomplished, Warner Bros. agreed to market and distribute the film.  It was an interesting notion, certainly.  Then, in just...

Post-Avengers, Joss Whedon wanted to do something small, and so he got his friends together and filmed an adaptation of William Shakespeare's Much Ado About Nothing. It's been playing festivals, and it will be at SXSW this week, but it won't hit theaters until June 21 in a limited release. But now there's a trailer.

While The Avengers was something of a problematic blockbuster (a dud of a first half-hour, a mega deus ex machine ending), there was one element that everyone seems to agree worked out just fine—Mark Ruffalo’s Banner/ Hulk character.  So, of course, there have been the inevitable solo Hulk film rumors (despite the first two not being overwhelming successes), as...

As Marvel Studios and Joss Whedon’s dominion over the entirety of pop culture continues, the teams has now spread their Avengers tentpole franchise from the big screen to the small screen with a TV entitled Marvel’s S.H.I.E.L.D., which documents the exploits of the human government agency tasked with dealing with the world’s superheroes and...

South by Southwest's annual film festival and concert series has - like its fall cousin Fantastic Fest - become one of the coolest festivals around. Where Sundance may launch the biggest independent films of the years, and places like Cannes and Toronto highlights the best in foreign films, and preview the film's big Oscar pictures, SXSW have carved a spot out as the one where you're going to...

Hard to imagine these days, but there was a time in which Joss Whedon wasn’t the most powerful people in Hollywood—while he is now essentially the grand poobah of all storylines in Marvel Studios films, there was an era in which all but one (Buffy the Vampire Slayer) of Whedon’s television shows were cancelled before their respective times.  This includes a...

Hey, remember that big hit movie The Avengers? Remember how it had all those cool actors playing superheroes? Well, they're making a spin-off TV show from that movie, and it's called S.H.I.E.L.D. And all those cool movie stars? None of them are going to be in it. But Clark Gregg's Agent Coulson will be on the show, and maybe Cobie Smulders'...
