Joss Whedon: 10 Films He Should Work On Next

7. A Different Superhero Movie

This one€™s a long shot considering the difficulties Joss Whedon faced with studio interference on Avengers: Age Of Ultron. It has to be said, though: any studio in the industry of making superhero films would surely pay Whedon big money to bring his unique skillset to one of their properties. After incurring some online backlash for his depiction of Black Widow in his second Avengers film, perhaps Whedon could be plotting a solo movie for the super spy to set things right. With Buffy under his belt, few could question Whedon€™s capabilities when it comes to female-headlined storytelling. Equally, Whedon could be planning to dash across the comic book cinema no man€™s land to work on DC movie for Warner Bros. He€™s come pretty close before, writing a Wonder Woman script at one stage and also pitching a Batman idea prior to Chris Nolan landing that gig. His Batman take would€™ve seen Bruce Wayne as a €˜death-obsessed kid€™ and introduced a new €œHannibal Lecter type€ bad guy. He€™d probably need to rejig those ideas to fit into the current DC film continuity, but it could happen. Far stranger things have happened in Hollywood. So let's mark this one as unlikely, but still possible.
