I am – Hercules!!

I finally got to meet Joss Whedon yesterday. 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 an IGN Filmforce interview with Marvel Enterprises head Avi Arad from February:

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.

a love supreme dreaming...

That is so awesome. I want to see how well he'd do a comic book movie. Him and Kevin Smith.

I'm all for it... as long as it doesn't delay the release of Serenity II: The Wrath of Dobson.

Does that mean the third one will be Serenity III: The Search for Simon?

Oh, and back on topic, I'd love to see Joss direct X-Men 3.
