Joss Whedon Might Not Be Returning For Avengers 2

It seems like Joss Whedone might be contemplating on returning to direct and writer the sequel to one of the most top grossing movies of all time.

In an interview with Hero Complex, Whedon explains that he is torn about returning for Avengers 2.

“It’s an enormous amount of work telling what is ultimately somebody else’s story, even though I feel like I did get to put myself into it," says Whedon. "But at the same time, I have a bunch of ideas, and they all seem really cool.”

Hopefully Whedon won't feel torn about returning anytime soon as it is no doubt that it was his doing that make The Avengers such a blockbuster hit.
