- S.H.I.E.L.D.
If you didn’t know that Joss Whedon, the director of the
third biggest film of ever, is a Star Wars fan, well now you do. It turns that
the Avengers director would have loved the opportunity to have helmed the next
film but unfortunately Joss is being overseeing Marvel’s S.H.I.E.L.D. TV
series, Marvel’s Phase Two films and writing the Avengers 2 scirpt.

"I'm as angry as you should be," says Whedon about
not being able to take on a job of that size because of his Avengers 2
commitment. Which isn't to say that he was ever actually offered the Star Wars
gig anyway. But still, CNN says that "With new Star Wars movies on the horizon,
Whedon was eager to see if he could be a candidate to direct." But then he
remembered that he's got S.H.I.E.L.D. and Avengers 2 to worry about.
"When I heard that I was like, 'I wonder... no, I
really can't do that. Oh, I already have a job,'" the writer-director-fanboy
savior tells CNN. "I wouldn't clear the Avengers. I'm having so much fun
with that sequel right now, just with the script, that I couldn't imagine not
doing it."
Whedon also talks a bit in the interview about his return to
TV with S.H.I.E.L.D.
"I'd forgotten how much work TV was so I'm cranky at
everybody all the time," he says. "But it's really fun. We have a
beautiful ensemble and we're having so much fun coming up with the stories. It
really is like working at Marvel Comics, which was a dream of mine as a kid
because this little book S.H.I.E.L.D. that not that many people read ... It's
not as big as the movies [and] we're telling smaller stories but we get to do
it more often."
As for what Whedon would like to see in new Star Wars
movies, how about more Han Solo? "We all missed the Han [Solo] of [the
prequels]," he says. "It got very portentous, which was justified by
the story, but I think we'd all like to see a little anarchy in the mix."
