"Right now it's a little early on for us to get too much into detail, but we're working on a Teen Avengers project," he says. "That's just a working title at this stage. Really, this is a shift of gears for us. Whereas the first four films [we did] were really for the older fans, this is a chance to kind of approach a younger audience, while sticking to all the rules of Saturday morning. We still want the great action, we still want the great characters, but we want to be a little more fast and loose with dialogue and not have so many concerns [that might slow down] our stories. So it's a chance for us to kind of take some of the classic Avengers elements but then add them to another generation of heroes. And this isn't based on Alan [Heinberg]'s excellent Young Avengers series. It's a wholly original project that we're trying to break for DVD. There will definitely be elements in the characters from the classic Avengers world, but who and what I can't quite say now."
