Joss Whedon: 10 Films He Should Work On Next

10. A Sequel To Something He€™s Made Already

There€™s always plenty of fan demand for Joss Whedon to return to his old projects. In particular, news stories crop up regularly about Firefly cast members telling excitable convention crowds that they€™d like to return to their iconic roles from Whedon€™s space opera saga. There was a time when this seemed plausible. When the Firefly movie Serenity came out in 2005, there was talk that it would be the first of a film trilogy. Yep, Universal Pictures were apparently interested - for a time - in bankrolling more movies for Whedon to write and direct within the Firefly universe. However, that came to nothing. Whedon worked consistently for 10 years after Serenity, and only really stopped for a decent length of time after Age Of Ultron. There€™s an incredibly slim chance that he€™s considering mounting a campaign to bring back Serenity now that he€™s got the time, but it€™s by far the least likely possibility on this list. The same goes for that Buffy movie fans have been waiting for. On top of the facts that Whedon has expressed a desire not to work with an ensemble cast on his next film and wants to create new worlds, there€™s also the fact that he doesn€™t need to revisit his former glories. He could work with any movie star he wanted right now, so why would he re-tread old ground?
