Thanks to the upcoming release of the Joss Whedon-penned horror movie "The Cabin In The Woods" and his requisite promotional commitments and interviews because of it, we've been hit with a nice influx of "Avengers"-related news recently. There's been talk of the additional villains, the sequel and Iron Man's suit, etc.
When MTV News caught up with Whedon himself at the "Cabin" premiere recently, which kicked-off Austin's annual South By Southwest Film Festival Friday night we asked him to expand upon the comments about wanting the sequel to be more painful and personal, as well as what he's enjoyed most so far of the editing phase.
"Um, all of it," he said. "I really am, I'm enjoying it a lot."

Have you heard the one about the theft of Nicolas Cage's copy of "Action Comics" #1? If not, you'll hear all about it soon: it's being turned into a movie.
The Hollywood Reporter has the news that "Reno 911!" creators Thomas Lennon and Robert Ben Garant are writing a Lionsgate heist comedy centered on Cage's stolen "Action Comics" #1 and the "group of nerds" who committed the crime. Pretty damn awesome, if you ask me. Less awesome is the word that Cage is "unlikely" to play himself in the film, and that Jason Statham has likewise turned down the opportunity to get in on the fun.
Look, I'm a big fan of Nic Cage, specifically when the man is at his craziest. So I have some thoughts on this movie. Thoughts that many of you will not agree with. That's okay; I accept my status as a niche Cage fan, the kind that worships "Wicker Man" and devours "Drive Angry" with glee. That's the kind of "How to make Nic Cage's 'Action Comics' #1 theft into a movie" pitch* you'll find after the jump. Haters beware, you're in for a scare, and such.
