Zak Penn writing The Avengers
“It makes the world of difference,” he says when referring to Marvel holding the rights to these characters now. So, with his film slated for a 2012 date, how will he manage to write an Avengers film, when four possible movies will be in development (Thor, Captain America, Iron Man 2) before his? “I’m taking a meeting next week with the Thor and Captain America people, and we are all going to get together, and I will see what is going to happen. I’ll see where they are leaving the characters; it’s pretty complicated. … There’s a board that is tracking what is happening. [We'll see] how this movie overlaps in that movie. … Marvel is autonomous now. It is night and day: Everyone has read every comic. They know how to make a cool movie.”
Although his X-Men: The Last Stand is better left unmentioned, he did write a kick ass X2. What do you all think?
