Joss Whedon: 10 Films He Should Work On Next

1. Twist: The Movie

€œWhen I was thinking about, €˜Well, if I wasn€™t going to do Avengers 2, what would I want to do?€™ €” of course the first thing I thought of was €˜turn-of-the-century female Batman,€™€ Joss Whedon told BuzzFeed in 2015. He eventually picked up this idea and ran with it, resulting in the upcoming Dark Horse Comics series Twist. Twist has been described as €œa Victorian thriller about a meek chambermaid who is fed to a dark horror,€ which gifts her with €œknowledge, power, and rage€. It€™s not out yet, but early hype around the project has been very positive. If it becomes a bestselling hit, surely Whedon will think about helming a movie adaptation. A movie based on Twist would certainly tick a lot of Whedon€™s boxes. There€™s a clear protagonist, and the period setting would give him something of a new world to explore. Also, as the creator and owner of the property, he€™d have less people to answer to than he did at Marvel Studios. As well as providing a more positive working experience for Whedon, a Twist movie with a solid script and the right actress in the lead role would surely be a massive hit. It sounds like a logical bet for his next movie, then, doesn't it? What film do you want to see Joss Whedon make next? Put your ideas in the comments€
