Okay, so this isn't happening. Nor was it ever going to happen. Just to get that out of the way.<\/p>\n

As far as I can tell, it got drawn up (beautifully) by someone when Joss Whedon got \u00a0a big Disney contract back about a year ago, and when he denied it was all for Avengers 2,<\/i> someone came up with this idea.<\/p>\n

Which, honestly
a. Is beautiful and I would watch the hell out of it (if Joss were involved).
b. Would horribly cramp the story (guns, sudden violence, not to mention sex, are a key part of the FF world).
c. Is about the only way more Firefly would ever happen at this point.
d. Is not going to happen.<\/p>\n
