There’s really no telling how close we are to an announcement on who will be directing THE AVENGERS. Cries by fanboys everywhere (myself included) were pleading for Jon Favreau to take the job, but he announced he will only be executive producer. After that, talk of directors dispelled mostly, until now. While speaking to Ain’t It Cool, THE INCREDIBLE HULK director Louis Leterrier said he might be on board.
You can check out what he had to say after the jump!
“I am on the shortlist…I have a great relationship with [Marvel], and I’ve been very vocal to them and everyone else that I am the one to direct it. I loved my time at Marvel. I loved those guys. They’re fantastic.”
Marvel is using their noggin, and it’s glorious! Leterrier is such a talented filmmaker, who really turned the HULK franchise around (please make another).
Of course, this could just be talk, but if it isn’t then this could be huge for THE AVENGERS movie. So far, Leterrier is the best name that has been mentioned for this project other than Favreau. Make it happen Marvel, that guy has the skill.
