Last month saw it announced that The Avengers director Joss Whedon had gone over to the direct competition jumping on board the Batgirl movie for WB in which Whedon will write, produce and direct the movie.
Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige offers up to THR that Whedon was cool enough to give him a call first prior to taking on Batgirl:
He called. A couple months ago, which he didn’t have to do and was super cool of him and super nice of him. And we couldn’t be more supportive. We want to see a Joss Whedon Batgirl film be awesome.”
Joss Whedon directed for Marvel Studios The Avengers and The Avengers: Age of Ultron in addition to being a consultant on the Marvel films.
Details for the Joss Whedon Batgirl movie include that it will focus on the Barbara Gordon Batgirl and will be an edgier and less goofy take than some of the recent comics.
