I REALLY want Joss Whedon to make Serenity 2!

I'm worried about him spreading himself too thin, which in the back has been an issue sometimes with his work.

Who owns 'Firefly'? Any chance that he can 'develop' a 'Firefly' return for Marvel at ABC?

I am just wondering if the announcement of Guardians of the Galaxy adaptation means they could make an appearance in Avengers 2. I mean, Thanos is definitely in.

I think Whedon basically has control over Firefly, so if he could get the funding, something more could be done with it, but since Serenity lost money, I can't see it happening soon. I don't think it would fit in with the Marvel universerse though...

Man--if Joss had a nickel for every time I watched an episode of 'Firefly'.

Hmmm...I guess he probably DOES have a nickel for every time I watched--and it wasn't enough. Ugh--why are people so blind??

Strummergirl, I am SURE that Guardians of the Galaxy is going to end up tied into Avengers 2. Marvel is doing too good a job of meshing their movieverse together for it not to.

According to an interview with Nathan Fillion, it seems that Fox has the rights to Firefly.

After this interview, writers of the show voiced their support, thousands of fans began to pledge money to help Nathan buy the rights, but he told them to keep the money and "keep being the great browncoats you are".
