Now that the incredible news broke that Iron Man director Jon Favreau will not be directing the Avengers movie, I did a little further research, and boy do I have a TR exclusive for you! I've discovered some other people who will not be directing the Avengers movie: George Lucas, Wes Anderson, Roman Polanski, Steven Spielberg, Pope Benedict, Miley Cyrus, me, Hitler, Dracula, Spongebob Squarepants, King Henry VII and Mr. Peanut will also not -- I REPEAT, ALSO -- be directing the Avengers movie. All media outlets, please make sure to credit Topless Robot appropriately when you report on this amazing news. Goddammit. (Via MTV)

Speaking as a Jew...
I'd be morbidly interested to see Adolf Hitler's 'The Avengers'

I, for once, think that Spongebob's Avenger would be the awesomest thing ever, for I am sure that Patrick would make a great big pink Hulk.

I like how you list yourself between Miley Cyrus and Hitler. That's how I've always seen Toplessrobot as.

@ J.H.
You got another M.O.T. on your side, there.

FYI, I'm not directing it either. They asked me, but I said no.

This is great news, and surely means that it's now a furious competition between Bryan Singer, Chris Nolan, Federico Fellini, and Tyler Perry. The excitement is too much!

Haha, but still, Favreau was a logical potential choice. Honestly I'd assumed he'd do it.

As important as the director is I just want to know what the team line up is.
Oh and I heard that when miley declined Billy Ray threw his hat in the ring.
Imagine a hulk with a mullet and a bunch of bad guys all line dancing the achy breaky heart.

Phil took the words right out of my mouth already. So I'll just take it a step further and ask, Rob, is the placement of yourself between Miley Cirus and Hitler evidence of some deep rooted psychological issues you'd like to discuss?

Nooo!! Miley won't be directing!!! That means that there will be no Miley singing the theme song... Or Billy Ray playing Antman... Why must the world be this cruel to me!!

I, for one, am looking forward to "Tyler Perry's The Avengers" featuring Black Panther, the Falcon, War Machine, Blade, Storm and their leader Captain Madea.

Aw... I would have seen Wes Anderson's The Avengers. Joss Whedon's The Avengers would be cool.

I just hope for the love of whatever God will listen, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE DO NOT LET MICHAEL BAY DIRECT THIS MOVIE!!! On a side note, I would love to see a collaboration of Hitler and Mr. Peanut directing The Avengers though,

imagine my dismay to learn that neither David Lynch, Takashi Miike, Richard Linklater, Alejandro Jodorowski, David Cronenberg nor Jim Jarmusch would be directing the Avengers movie. bc i guarantee if any of them did, the results would be far more interesting than whoever actually does end up doing it...

I was slated to direct but got caught up in a sex scandal. To all my fans I appologize profusely and plan to flee to France.
