Although the San Diego Comic-Con may not have the same highly anticipated films as last year, there is no shortage of news that is either being confirmed or rumors created. So here are a few short notes on what is happening at the con as we speak.

First thing comingsoon.net is confirming that Joss Whedon is indeed directing The Avengers.

"It's not an official thing, I think because Marvel couldn't afford a press release," Whedon said. "So can we make that an official thing? I'm directing The Avengers'"

Whedon added that he is "still writing an outline. I'm still in that stage. I will say the thing I love about it, the thing that made me excited to do it, is how counter intuitive it is. These people shouldn't be in the same room and that is the very definition of family."

So there shouldn’t be anymore rumors on whether or not Whedon is director or who else is directing, we finally have confirmation.
