About a month ago, Buffy the Vampire Slayer mastermind Joss Whedon publicly declared an interest in taking on the next X-Men movie now that Bryan Singer has traded mutants for a cape and a big "S". Was someone at Fox listening?

If the industry newscatcher Production Weekly is to be believed (and I'm told they're rarely wrong, if ever), ears were indeed open, and wise decisions were made. According to them, Whedon is onboard to direct X3, with the production gearing up in Vancouver next June.

Of course, there's currently no script, and to the best of my knowledge no major talent has actually signed for the movie (and we know Halle Berry has little interest in returning unless she's in the spotlight). But Whedon certainly has a handle on the characters judging by his excellent run on Marvel's Astonishing X-Men series, and we know from his remarkable television work that he can juggle multiple characters, so it probably wouldn't be too difficult for him to whip up a fine screenplay (especially considering he worked on the first film's script).

As a massive Whedon fan I know I'd be first in line to see it, but he's currently putting the finishing touches on Serenity, the feature follow-up to his space western series Firefly, so we'll see if he's got time for mutant mayhem.

This is awesome news! I loved the previous 2 movies, so hopefully this one will be even better with Whedon's guidance.

Shiny! Plus, if it's in Vancouver, Jewel will be nearby... It'd be fun to see her in one of those X-suits.

Are you thinking what I'm thinking? TOTAL REPLACEMENT OF XMEN CAST WITH FIREFLY!! (Except Patrick Stewart and Ian McKellen, they get to stay on account of being so incredibly awesome.)

I think Adam Baldwin can take on Wolverine. Summer could be Rouge. Morena as Mystique... Ron would have to be a bad guy, cause he's just so awesome.
