Joss Whedon talks Buffy Animated, movies, and X-Men 3.

Talking to the Sci Fi Wire website, Joss Whedon put paid to a number of rumours hat have been bandied about on the net.

First up, he said that Buffy and Angel spin-off movies were a possibility, but he hadn't been approached by The WB as yet.

"I haven't really heard anything," he said. "Obviously, there's been a regime change at [The] WB. The fans are interested, I'm interested. I don't think either Sarah or David would want to do it but there's about 10 other characters I can name who would be totally worthy of movies. I'm just waiting for somebody to say yay or nay."

The Buffy animated series is also still an option: "A presentation is being made. It hasn't been bought anywhere, but it's still in the creating stages so it's still a possibility."

Whedon also took time out to talk about rumours that he is being sought to direct the third X-Men movie:

"Nobody has approached me about the X-Men franchise. Would I like to make an X-Men movie? That would be bitchin'. I actually really like those actors and I really like those characters and I think there's a lot that could be done with it and it would be a romp. But I'm not setting my sights on that."

So, no definite news then, just a list of possibles.
