Jon Favreau to direct The Avengers?

We already know that Samuel L Jackson is cast. Downey Jr has already talked about it but I doubt he's officially cast. He might be, but don't look for any official cast announcements for some time.

Marvel's plan is to bring the original actors from the solo movies together for the Avengers. They'll probably have set paychecks for all the actors and then have a back end percentage deal for those that are bigger names.
