Joss Whedon on X-Men 3, Buffy & Angel

By Andrew Weil

Thursday 12 August 2004, by Webmaster

ComingSoon.net got a chance to talk to Joss Whedon about the rumors that he may be interested in taking on X-Men 3, now that Bryan Singer is out of the picture. Whedon says that nothing has been offered to him for "X3," but if offered, he would LOVE to do the third film (hint, hint Fox!). On the comics side, Whedon is writing "Astonishing X-Men" right now for Marvel.

Whedon has been an online fan favorite to replace Singer in the director’s chair. Singer is directing Warner Bros.’ new Superman adaptation instead. 20th Century Fox and Marvel Studios still have X-Men 3 scheduled for a May 3, 2006 release date.

Also, Whedon tells us that he is interested in doing a "Buffy/Angel" film as well, but he knows that Sarah Michelle Gellar and David Boreanaz wouldn’t want to participate in the feature. He adds that the "Buffy" animated series is still in the planning stages.

Whedon is currently directing Serenity, an adaptation of his Firefly TV series, for Universal Pictures.

    okay people lets face it you cant build a movie on anyone besides buffy or angel because the series were about them. Would anyone honestly go to see a movie about the adventures of Xander the amazing eye patch boy and Dawn(Hey isn’t that the annorexic girl from Eurotrip?). And with the option of spin-off series i don’t think any character, even faith, is strong enough to hold their own, excpt possibly spike. james marsters has previously expressed interest in doing this so why not?

    I think there has to be an Angel/Buffy movie to end things. No true fan of the shows will ever be satisifed with the way the 2 shows ended. These shows made SMG and DB, they owe Joss and their fans a movie
