Joss Whedon thinks The Avengers fans should feel "exhausted" when they watch the movie.
The 47-year-old director compared the superhero film to his latest horror-comedy motion picture Cabin in the Woods, and joked he will be glad when he no longer has to film the movie.
"I want them to feel exhausted and fulfilled. Not unlike Cabin, it's a ride, and we put the screws to them. We really put the characters through it, and we want the audience to be with them every step of the way and come out of it going, 'That was an extraordinary experience, and now I want to pay to see it again.' The most satisfying thing about The Avengers is that soon I will finish it."
Robert Downey Jr., Chris Hemsworth, Chris Evans, Scarlett Johansson, Mark Ruffalo, Tom Hiddleston and Samuel L. Jackson all star in the movie, which tells the story of Nick Fury (Samuel) and a special team who form a group of super humans called The Avengers to do battle with Loki (Tom) in a bid to save Earth.

She already calls herself Sasha Fierce...why not call her Wonder Woman as well?

A form-fitting red, white and blue number.
“I want to do a superhero movie and what would be better than Wonder Woman? It would be great. And it would be a very bold choice. A black Wonder Woman would be a powerful thing. It’s time for that, right?”
