   Joss Whedon Admits That He's Working On A New Musical   
   By Robin Burks, Tech Times   
      
   Joss Whedon's next project isn't what you'd expect, but it will still make   
   longtime fans of the writer and director very happy: Whedon recently stated   
   that he's working on another musical.   
      
   Whedon fans are already familiar with what he can do with the musical genre:   
   not only did he give television viewers one of the best musical episodes of   
   all time — Buffy the Vampire Slayer's "Once More, With Feeling" — but he   
   also embraced the concept of the Web series early on with Dr. Horrible's   
   Sing-Along Blog, which starred Nathan Fillion, Felicia Day and Neal Patrick   
   Harris all singing their hearts out.   
      
   Of course, although fans would very much like that musical to become a   
   sequel to Dr. Horrible, it's likely it's for something new, as Whedon stated   
   that the format of a musical fit the emotions he wanted to hit with the   
   piece, which suggests this is a new idea he's cooked up. However, fans   
   continue to hope for a Dr. Horrible 2, although Whedon's recent schedule   
   just hasn't allowed for it, but not for a lack of love for the project.   
      
   "There's nothing I've done that I enjoyed more, that I cared more about that   
   I thought would disappear more quickly than Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along-Blog,"   
   said Whedon. "It came from a political place and a whimsical place ...   
   that's been the benchmark of everything I do."   
      
   Now, though, Whedon has more free time, since he's reportedly done with   
   making Avengers films for Marvel. Now that he doesn't have to work with   
   Marvel in creating its cinematic universe (a task never easy for directors   
   on the company's films), he has time to rededicate himself to the smaller   
   projects that both he and his fans love, such as Much Ado About Nothing,   
   which Whedon released in 2012.   
      
   So, if the new musical isn't a sequel to Dr. Horrible, what is it about?   
   Whedon said nothing about a plot or details, but with his imagination, it   
   could be a musical adaptation of a Shakespeare play, a horror movie set to   
   music, a romp in the Wild West complete with singing or something Whedon   
   fans haven't thought of yet.
