Marvel embarked on an ambitious project to develop individual superhero films that would lead to a team-up in the Avengers film with the same actors playing the characters.  This is every comic-book fan’s dream.  Most of the individual films were very good, and my expectations for this film are sky-high.

Having fan-favorite Joss Whedon in the writer and director’s chair also fuels my enthusiasm.  No stranger to the comic-book world, Whedon has written X-men comics as well as comic-book adaptations of his Buffy and Angel characters.  With Buffy, Angel, and Firefly, Whedon has demonstrated a knack for managing multiple characters on a team.  He writes the team dynamic well.  The trademark Whedon quick wit will likely be on display as well along with snappy dialog.

Looking forward to it!  Avengers Assemble!
