Joss Whedon has signed on to write and direct The Avengers 2. But not just that… He'll also be developing a Marvel TV show for ABC!
ABC in Talks for Live-Action Avengers-Connected TV Series
Disney Chairman Bob Iger dropped the news during an earnings call with Wall Street analysts today.
While there's no confirmation as to what the TV show in question is yet, we at the IGN offices are thinking it must be the Avengers-related series that was recently revealed to be in very early development.
Marvel said in a statement Tuesday, “Joss Whedon has signed an exclusive deal with Marvel Studios for film and television through the end of June 2015. As part of that deal, Whedon will write and direct Marvel's 'Avengers 2' as well as help develop a new live action series for Marvel Television at ABC. He will also contribute creatively to the next phase of Marvel’s cinematic universe.”
