Exciting news! For the first time in a while, Dollhouse and Firefly creator Joss Whedon may finally get to be in charge of something Fox can’t cancel prematurely. Mike Fleming reports that he’s in final negotiations to helm Marvel’s all-star superhero movie The Avengers, starring Robert Downey Jr. as Iron Man, Chris Evans as Captain America, Chris Hemsworth as Thor, and Samuel L. Jackson as Nick Fury. Congratulations, Joss — you deserve it. [Deadline]
