Joss Whedon Talks To Hercules About X-MEN 3!!

I am – Hercules!!

I finally got to meet Joss Whedon yesterday but I can’t tell you everything we talked about – yet. But here’s one of the most interesting parts I can relay:

“I have not been offered [“X-Men 3”]," said Whedon. “Would I like to make an X-Men movie? That’d be bitchin’. I actually really like those actors and I really like those characters and there’s a lot that could be done with it and it’d be a romp. But I’m not setting my sights on that, I'm setting my sights on exactly one thing, which is [Whedon’s feature directorial debut, “Serenity.”]

“Serenity” wraps principal photography in about 10 days.

Would the folks at Marvel like to hire Whedon? “Major Tom” sent in this snippet of a February IGN Filmforce interview with Marvel Enterprises head Avi Arad:

IGNFF: At one point, wasn't Joss Whedon up for (Iron Man)?

ARAD: Joss Whedon never wrote a draft of it. We wished! Believe me, we tried very hard, but he got busy with Firefly.

IGNFF: Are there any hopes to tap him again at some point for another project?

ARAD: Oh yeah! We're going to land him… He's a tough cookie, but we'll get him.
