Joss Whedon is a busy man. He’s overseeing Marvel’s Phase Two movies, directing and co-writing the pilot episode of the planned S.H.I.E.L.D. TV series and he even found time to make Much Ado About Nothing, set for release next year. However what most people care about is The Avengers 2, which is already set for May 1st, 2015.
After the incredible success of The Avengers, Entertainment Weekly has named him one of the Entertainers Of The Year, so Joss sat down with the magazine for a chat, revealing that he already has the story mapped out, and has recently turned in an outline to Marvel Studios. Of course, no story details have been revealed yet.
The main Avengers cast are expected to return, including Robert Downey Jr., Chris Evans, Mark Ruffalo, Chris Hemsworth, Scarlett Johansson, Jeremy Renner, and Samuel L. Jackson. It isn’t known when it might shoot, although many expect cameras to roll before 2013 is out.
