Heres a bit of short but sweet news to round the day out. After much will he?/won't he?, it has been confirmed that Joss Whedon will return to write and direct the sequel to The Avengers. Not a surprise really, since he brought together a movie that many people thought wouldn't work, and bagged $1.5 billion worldwide in box office sales. Disney would have been fools not to want him back. No release date for the sequel hasn't been decided yet, but considering the full slate of Marvel Studio films over the next couple of years, it's expected to arrive in 2015.
