I was just over at Dark Horizons and apparently director Joss Whedon is reportedly in final negotiations to direct the superhero team-up movie “The Avengers” for Marvel Studios and Paramount Pictures.

Also, two characters from the upcoming movie may be making earlier appearances… According to a trusted source, a scene about Captain America and Thor will appear after the end credits of “Iron Man 2” – much like the way Nick Fury made a camera in a post-credits scene at the end of 2008′s “Iron Man“.

Could we see two hunky guys named Chris – Chris Evans and Chris Hemsworth – in full costume? Unlikely. The crucial wording here is that it’s a “scene about” the two characters meaning one or both may not even pop up on screen but rather merely referenced.

Production would begin sometime next year for release May 4th 2012.
