Director Louis Leterrier has thrown his hat into the ring as wanting to bring Earth's mightiest heroes together under one tentpole but we are hearing it will not be his cross to bear. Leterrier mentioned a short list of directors recently that Marvel was looking at, he didn't know who else was on the list but IESB has found out one other member.

The same sources that spilled the beans to IESB about Spider-Man 4 being put on an indefinite hold back in December, have revealed that another leading contender on that short list to direct THE AVENGERS film is none other than Joss Whedon.

That's the best way to do an april fool's joke. It's pretty tough to really hoodwink people on april fool's so you have to go all out.

Just like the cnet post about how the ipad started out as a joke but steve jobs actually thought it was a good idea. Sounds reasonable to me.
