Joss to write and direct 'Avengers 2'

[lonelybrit]

OOOOOOHHHH...

So if the sources are correct, Joss has signed-on for Avengers 2.

In an ideal world, given Joss' "Spike... or as we now call him, Loki" comment, I would like to think that the odds of Loki getting some hint of eventual redemption have just improved. Realistically though, Avengers 2 is a looong way off and I'm guessing we will have a completely fresh villain and quite likely no Loki at all. C'est la vie.

Still! Plenty of fandom collisions to enjoy in some upcoming films:
x. Benedict Cumberbatch is nipping out of Sherlock to face-off Kirk in Star Trek 2.
x. Rupert Graves is briefly ditching Sherlock to go visit Doctor Who.
x. Christopher Eccleston evades the Tardis by going off to play The Big Bad in Thor 2. (So potentially at some point a Hiddleston/Eccleston/Hopkins face-off *rubs hands*)

Bring it on... :)

Phft, Loki didn't need redeeming until the Avengers turned him into a one dimensional panto villain.

Ah, but a one dimensional villain with a fabulous outfit ;P In any case I'm interested to see how they go in Thor 2. They must be starting to shoot (in London!) soon, I'm expecting fandom to gently explode when Tom finally has to re-dye his hair again. T'is the point of no return.
