Speaking of which, I heard rumours about Marvel developing a new X-Men animated series. I truly, truly hope it's true. And that it's good.

Will have to listen to this at work tomorrow. I could understand being into Whedon's script, given his work on Astonishing X-Men, as he's familiar with the franchise.

 

[x-er]

there's this show called game of thrones. it handles women sooo well. and i am not being a perv. the end of the series is literally run by women, just like that beyonce song. ;D

Awesome interview bruh!

That was an interesting bit when they talked about, at the time, Hollywood isn't going to put their chips and risk a TV writer to script a movie based on a comic book because the studio could look bad if the film flops. Makes me wonder and wish that Fox would bring on more minds from the comic books to help with at least the main series since we know Rob Liefeld was on set for Deadpool.

Looking at the likes of Joss Whedon going from mostly TV/Serenity to The Avengers and the Russo Brothers now Marvel Studios' golden boys, times have clearly changed.

Reading whedon script and thinking it was wonderful

Give him X-Men already.

 

[Darepool]

Don't think they'd do it, but I would absolutely love it.

And one year of W&TXM > X-Men:TAS.
